The coffee was very smooth and the varietal we had was light and fruity. They serve teas, bottled drinks, and alcoholic concoctions. Their coffee beans for purchase come in a large vitamin looking bottle which I was worried would get flagged in my luggage but it was still sealed when I got back home. We had the geisha roast which was reasonably priced for geisha beans at €39. Their merch was great and we probably should've grabbed a shirt but the crowd size was intimidating to get through. M

My friend ordered a chai latte, which was pretty good and again a good light sweetness, and my other friend tried the café Touba (a peppery black coffee), a bit bitter and strong for me but interesting to try. We got a slice of spinach cake with mascarpone and hung out for a while because we wanted to try their pierogis and they don't start serving lunch food until 10:30. Verdict was all the food was fantastic, so I don't think you can go wrong with anything on the menu that sounds good to you. The staff (owners?) really made it a great experience - they all seemed very genuine and kind and made us feel like it would be ok if we wanted to hang out there all day. Will probably drop in for another morning coffee before we leave Amsterdam!

I liked it a lot. They had 5-6 different beers on tap. A couple of local ones, all of which I saw one at Mediametic, a bar and restaurant kind of a place, that combined art and technology and offers their own food they grow themselves or get it from locals. Nice! My company tries a soup that she very much enjoyed, another one hab a chocolate kind of cake dessert which I tried and was very chocolaty and rich. The young guy behind the bar was very welcoming and friendly. We had a good but short time here and I got pretty drunk from the 9% alcohol beer I had to engulf within 15 minutes - looool

They have made an effort to use (at least tokenly) reusable/compostable/recycled items (eg bamboo straws) which I guess deserves some (at least tokenal) praise. Overall I suggest that you go elsewhere if you have the choice.

Winkel 43 is a legendary stop right on the corner of Westerstraat and Noordermarkt in the Jordaan,…read moreperfectly situated along the Prinsengracht canals and just a short walk from the Anne Frank House. While it functions as a cozy, traditional Dutch brown café, virtually everyone comes here for one main reason: the famous Dutch apple pie (*appeltaart*). It completely lives up to the reputation. Served warm with a massive dollop of fresh whipped cream, it's thick, perfectly spiced, and has an almost cake-like crust that sets it apart. Pairing a slice with a fresh mint tea is pretty much mandatory. Because of its status and location, it's almost always buzzing with people--especially on market days--but the staff manages the perpetual queue remarkably fast. Snagging a table on the outdoor terrace for some people-watching along the canal is hard to beat. Whether you're taking visitors around the neighborhood or just out exploring the Jordaan.

There was a long line and a pretty long wait when we went. The place was fully packed, with both…read moreindoor and outdoor seating. I'd say about 95% of the people were ordering the apple pie, so of course we had to get one to see what the hype was about. The apple pie is pretty unique, it's basically a big chunk of cooked apple topped with a sweet, crumbly cookie like crust. The flavor reminded me of those little brown biscuits you get as airplane snacks... basically Biscoff cookies. lol!!! Overall, you really taste the natural apple flavor along with that Biscoff like cookie flavor. The pie itself isn't very sweet, which I actually liked, but adding some whipped cream definitely brings up the sweetness and makes it even better. The setup is pretty straightforward: get in line, order and pay, pick up your food, then find your own seat. It's definitely a popular spot, so be prepared for the crowd and a bit of a wait.

We walked over from our hotel (Marriott Residence Inn/Moxy) not too sure of what we were in for…read more The main reason we chose this place is that it is the closest restaurant to the hotel. I was familiar with croquettes but I have never had the Dutch variety. Needless to say, we were all very happy and full with what we chose. My wife had the beef with artichoke sauce and loved it. My picky 13 year old chose the Dutch shrimp with mustard- mayo sauce and he ate it all. He insisted that I mention that he does not like seafood. Please note that Yelp has the location wrong. I posted a correction and hopefully it is corrected soon.

We were staying at the Residence Inn around the corner and decided to eat here for lunch. There are…read morenot too many lunch options as the hotel is located miles from the city center so we weren't sure what to expect. I've never had a croquette so I was excited to have a Dutch treat--my husband not so much. We walked in and were seated immediately. It appeared that there was only one server so I wasn't sure we would ever get waited on but she was running all over the place and finally got to us. It didn't take too long so I was in awe of her energy. I ordered a veggie croquette and water. It arrived fairly quickly and was delicious. It was served with a delicious salad and bread. Our server checked on us quite a bit while running food back and forth to other tables and taking orders. Again, I was in awe of how she managed to do all that she was doing and keep a smile on her face. We discussed going here for dinner but they were closed so we ended up going to Pont 13 which was great as well.
