Stopped in only because the pancake place next-door was busy and we were hungry. We grabbed a seat out front and ordered shortly after. It was a nice and sunny day so the front seats were perfect. In the beginning the waiter seemed like he was having a bad day. The girl who brought our food was much nicer than the guy. 3/5 Omelette with bacon 3/5 Croque Madame Overall a decent place for brunch but next time I'm trying the pancake place next-door. read more

Walked over here because Chun had a long wait. Saw reviews saying service was long but we didn't have too long of a wait. The croquet madame was delicious. Grilled chicken sandwich was good too. Nice coffee. Cozy vibe. Overall 4.5 read more

Delicious and light lunch! Toos & Roos has a funny name but a comfortable and welcoming interior. It's very small and likely gets packed during peak hours. I showed up mid afternoon and had no problems getting seated. I ordered the Dutch lunch -- fresh brown bread topped with cheese, soup, and a small salad. I had my choice of soup. Teetered between the chickpea and pumpkin but went with the latter. Wish I could've tried both! The pumpkin was insanely good and the meal highlight. Additionally I ordered a sparking water (basically my favorite thing ever lately) and tea. It was easy to pay and move along. This place is excellent for a quick but hearty and affordable lunch in Amsterdam. read more

When I recently spotted Toos & Roos in the Berenstraat I thought they had moved. But it turned out that they've secretly opened a second location. I really like the one at Herengracht, it's neat and cozy. The new one is also nicely decorated. I have to admit that I was quite disappointed by the presentation of the goats cheese sandwich that I had ordered. It's probably the most boring looking one that I got in Amsterdam so far. So what's special about this place? The bread they use is fantastic - perfect texture with a crunchy crust. Now that's what I call ambachtelijk. With your broodje you get a small cup of delicious soup as an amuse. You can of course also order a menu soup. And, same like in their Herengracht location the service is very quick, friendly and attentive. It's the small things that make a difference. And although I know that I'm being manipulated I like the personal little note they leave on the check to make you want to give them a good rating. read more

Do yourself a favor and order the chick pea soup...so divine I can't even deal!!! Started with the soup then added a roasted chicken sandwich (with avocado and bacon) and an eggplant sandwich. The chicken sandwich was passable but I need a moment for the eggplant/hummus sandwich on gluten free bread...it was so delicious!!! I'm already craving it again. It was perfection, squared. read more

Toos & Roos - Eggplant/hummus sandwich with Parmesan cheese, with a complimentary salad and small pumpkin soup...deeeelish! - Cafes Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

All the reviews get it bang on - fast and friendly service with really good food. I just wish that they weren't so cramped, a feature of nearly all the great brunch spots in the city, like its some sort of requirement to be labeled a great brunch spot. The menu has options for all levels of hunger - just a croissant, all the way to an enormous ravioli platter. I had freshly squeezed grapefruit juice as my drink, along with a bottle of water. Pity I wasn't offered tap water with my brunch. For my brunch (it was 2PM), I went with the hummus and aubergine open face sandwich on gluten-free bread. It came with a little bit of salad leaves on the side and a chutney vessel sized potion of soup. I asked if I could try the chickpea soup and was gladly offered it as a substitute for the staple pumpkin offering. They seemed to be out of the finer dessert stuff, but did have brownies and carrot cake on offer. I decided to skip those. As mentioned before, the place is very cramped - you cannot even pay the bill without blocking someone from climbing down the stairs from the upper seating. All in all, a wonderful, and not so expensive place to get brunch. read more

This little cute and small restaurant in the centre of Amsterdam is perfect for a catch up with a friend while enjoying a sandwich. I normally order the chicken sandwich or the pumpkin soup. They are the self proclaimed, best soup restaurant in Amsterdam, and in all fairness their soups are very good, not sure If I could say the best in Amsterdam but definitely worth trying them. When it's sunny they have a handful of tables outside so you can have your sandwich or coffee with a canal view. As the place is pretty small sometimes it does feel a bit cramped but it adds to the gezellingness of the experience! read more

Really cute little place to stop in for a sandwich. I got the salmon sandwich and got to taste the mozzarella and tomato one as well. They were both huge and delicious! Filled us up but still felt great after! read more

I took my first trip to Amsterdam this week and came across Toos & Roos just down the road from where I was staying. After initially not being able to find a table during the lunch rush, my party and I took a walk around the block and were ultimately able to get an upstairs table. Unfortunately, that would not be the only waiting we did. Perhaps due to understaffing during the busy hours, the service visits upstairs were few and far between. When we eventually did get our order in, the food came out reasonably quick and was quite good. The omelette, specifically, was the highlight of my meal. I also tried the pancakes, which were good but very different that what I was expecting as a visiting American. One other thing I would note on is the ambience, or lack thereof, in the restaurant. I think the overall experience could be improved with some music playing in the background, personally. The wait times felt especially long because of the absence of sound. Overall, the food was worth the wait. I would return to Toos & Roos for another omelette sometime in the future, but I may be looking to get the food to go. read more

I was looking for a more light/ healthy lunch and bumped into this place. Good surprise! They had some great alternatives between salads and sandwiches. Had a mozzarella sandwich. Good bread and quality ingredients. read more

I cannot understand why many people describe this place as one of the "best brunch places in Amsterdam". It's an OK place with OK food and OK prices. The service although is the worst i ever experienced in my life and let me explain you why. I arrive at the place around 13pm and there is a table for four available (which was actually two tables with 4 chairs). I ask the manager if I can seat there as I was also expecting 2 more friends (so in total we would be 3) he replies with a very negative attitude "yes". 5 Minutes later I already feel the pressure that my friends need to come on time either wise the manager will probably kick me out of that place and give the table to someone else. THANK GOD one of my friends arrive. Our third friend is running late therefore we decide to order. Just about to order the manager ask us, "is anyone else joining your table?" and we reply positively and also explaining him that our friend will be joining us in a few minutes. His reaction? again this same negative face and attitude. Coffee and drinks arrive but our friend still not here, 2 customers enter the restaurant, the manager seats them on to our table, and he is like "if your friend arrives I will move you on to another table". The manager didn't gave us the option to say yes or no. GUESS WHAT!!!! our friend arrive and there was no place for him to seat with us. We even try to squeeze but nothing. We asked the manager if he can find us another place, and with this negative attitude he replied "I am sorry we are fully now). As you can imagine me and my first friend eat very quickly while our friend was WAITING FOR US OUTSIDE. read more
