Anne&Max Amsterdam Zeeburg — Restaurant in Amsterdam

I was alone and in a good mood, ready for a nice coffee and, why not, throw in some scones for myself as well. I knew from my previous experience, this Anne & Max establishment would likely not dissapoint. However, im affraid it kinda did…Came in happy and enthusiastic, wasnt very busy, nobody said hi… felt sad and just sat myself down i guess.. Coffee was well presented, some nice wheat looking foamy milk streak decorated my coffee. Sadly I craved for some cinnanom buns or whatever but they didnt sell this. Ordered 2 scones and a crossaint then. The scones were cold, crumbly, really not authentic looking, clumsy delivered on two seperate plates with also two sets of whipcream, which tasted pretty good, and some lemoncurd, which im personally not a big fan of… It was dissapointing and soulless. So was the doughy cold crossaint they gave me straight from the displaystand which probably laid there the entire morning. Really, this first revisit after 2 years was so worrying, i just had to pull out my phone and start doing my reviewing again. The staff were bots, clearly not caring, forcefull smiles, poor communication, pulling out my plate spraying croissant flakes all over me without batting an eye. Like a reverse milked cow, moderately satisfied, I stood up, paid the bill and left this place with less of a smile as when I entered to unfortunatly never return...

Lovely cafe that feels very local rather than a chain. Menus are all digital and available via scanning a QR code. you can order via the QR code or wait for someone to come and take your order. Menu is available in dutch and english.

We ordered the lunch set for 2. portion size is a bit small for the price, but it's enough if you're not super hungry. the juice you get with the meal is smaller than the normal size unless you pay €1 more. The soup is smaller than the normal size, but the soup was REALLY nice! I believe it was tomatoe soup. Salad was different in a nice way. It wasn't the normal lettuce and minimal variety. This one had pumpkin and pickeled red cabbage, crutons, etc. Spreads for the bread were plenty and also quite nice. The scrambled egg was the worst part of the meal. It was far from being scrambled - the eggs were very overcooked and didn't feel or taste like scrambled eggs.

Water is available for self-service by the entrance. My only complaint would be that the hygiene wasn't the best as I found a few pieces of small dust/hair on some of the food.

Overall, it is quite a nice place and in a nice area. The only advice is not to get the lunch or breakfast sets but to just order separately and don't order...

I used to be a regular here in 2022 and 2023, the people were so warm and friendly. The food used to be so tasty and it was made with care.... however, the last two visits in 2024 were so disappointing that I removed the cafe from my favorites list and decided to never step in there again. The warmth of the place from the smiles of the people working there has disappeared. The stuff working there now looks least interested about maintaining the ambience. They have a plastic smile and always in a hurry to go back to the coffee sections to continue with the chit chats. The food is not edible anymore and twice I had given feedback about my dry scrambled eggs (which looks more like an omelet there now), to get a blank Thank You in return. The stuff never cared to even offer to change or work on improving the quality. This is really disappointing and the place is losing it's charm and I definitely lost my go-to...
