First time trying boba in The Netherlands! I thought it was pretty good…read more YoYo has locations all around, I actually first stumbled across their stall when visiting Rotterdam. Didn't make a stop at first because I honestly did not have high expectations, and to me it was like a "I traveled all the way here just to drink something I already have at home" kind of thought. But I stumbled across the store in Amsterdam after having dinner, and caved in. So the branding and the aesthetics of the place remind me of Yogurtland.. Same color scheme and everything, down to the green leaf. The space is clean and inviting, but kind of "cluttered" with a bunch of merchandise and non-food items stacked everywhere. The menu is on the smaller side, with a handful of milk teas to choose from, and a few iced teas. Other menu options include coffee, yogurt , and snacks. If boba isn't your thing, the topping bar also has popping boba, lychee, and other jellies. We went with a regular milk tea and a Jasmine Milk Tea. The drinks I believe were customizable, you can request a certain sugar level depending on how sweet you want it. No complains for the tea, it was flavorful and made to our liking. The boba had a good consistency, I liked how chewy it was without being mushy. Not too many complaints for YoYo. Maybe they could add more menu options, and they were a little skimpy when it came to filling the cup with boba and tea. But it was pleasant, glad The Netherlands has a decent boba shop for everyone to enjoy.

I love bubble tea so I was curious to see how bubble tea would be in Amsterdam. I got the medium…read morehot taro with boba. I get a hot taro all the time during the winter, but this was definitely one of the worst ones I've had. It tasted really powdery still, like they didn't mix it enough and the bubbles were too sweet. Also, it's kind of weird that they put the hot drink in a plastic cup instead of a paper one.

Im going to start by saying, this is NOT a Michelin star restaurant as I have read in previous…read morereviews, it is Michelin Guide recommended which is way different! Meaning a Michelin inspector's favorite for good value. The service and quality of the food cannot be compared to a restaurant with stars. With that said, we really enjoyed the whole experience. We didn't had a reservation but the host was so helpful that she accommodate us at the bar seats. It was our first time at the restaurant so the server guided us through the menu and also gave us pretty good suggestions. We are huge fans of nigiris so I think we ordered practically all of them in the menu. My favorites were Salmon Gin and Canned Tuna, both creative and beautifully presented. We also had the Tom Yum Chicken Sticks a cool twist for the Tom Yum soup, the spring rolls, the prawn dumplings and the Korean BBQ beef, which was a little hard for my taste. Overall good food and great service.

Amazing pancakes. There was a line out the door so you know it's good! The roasted taco stack was…read moreincredible - so many different flavors and textures in a sweet pancake.

We were help by multiple waitress on seating and ordering and they were all very sweet and patience. Now let's get the food!! Perfect matches. The pancakes were like no other pancake I've tasted before. Very fluffy but not soggy. Very flavorful, nothing was too sweet or salty. We ended up ordering the same meal, and neither one of were disappointed. Our drinks were both a great taste and presentation was amazing. Food took less than 15 mins to come to the table. I would say the earlier you get there the better by time we got seated a line was building. I literally don't have any complaints and would love to come back.

I was craving a bubble tea like whoa while in Amsterdam, but there seem to be only two places that…read moreserve anything remotely resembling it, and Bloemie's is one of them. The "bubble tea" is not actually bubble tea, as it doesn't contain any tea at all, but unlike another establishment claiming to sell bubble tea, the waitress specified this and asked if I wanted one anyway. (I did. I love the tapioca!) They had MANY favors from which one could choose, but I went with one of my usuals, taro, and got a "bubble milkshake" of sorts. It was absolutely amazing! I still missed bubble tea, but the drink I got was so good, and the full disclosure of the cafe gives this place five stars! The waitress said that they will have bubble tea soon, so perhaps on my next trip to Amsterdam I'll stop by/if you go, they'll have the actual tea. My fiancé had a grilled cheese and ham sandwich, which was mediocre - your standard European ham and cheese sandwich. Nothing to write home about, but not bad either.

No American credit cards accepted so bring your euros. Great boba tea spot next to the train…read morestation, has that chill lounge and american music playing. Daughter ordered a regular hong kong tea with tapioca balls. I ordered the iced matcha green tea with tapioca balls. Overall, it was tasty and just happy to find a spot while we are here. My only complaints...the match green tea was way sweet, sugar and matcha powder are already mixed per the staff. Not sure where theu get their matcha tea powder. The tea houses in CA we get to decide how much sugar/sweetness we want using a % scale. I usually order mine low on the sugar. And also, it would be great if they got machines that took american credit cards too. Just saying
