Beautiful location, fantastic food and friendly staff. A good way to start your day if you ask me… Location: (5/5) There is seating both inside and out. We sat outside and there was sufficient room between tables and they was just this really nice vibe around. The old YWAM building on one side, the view towards Nemo/Maritime museum on one and the beautiful Amsterdam buildings on the other. What more could you ask for. The vibe is also really great, a lot of people do visit here so there is a nice feeling of being surrounded by a good volume. Not too loud, but just right. Food and drink: (5/5) Top notch! Presentation, flavours, textures and quantity all are fantastic. The plating is done really well as can be seen from the pictures. A lot of attention to detail to ensure the experience is fantastic. The flavours were brilliant. (1) Power Breakfast: This was certainly a power breakfast. All the ingredients to keep you doing through the entire day. The cheese and beans were fantastic. All in all a really good option for those people looking for a healthy option I would say (2) Eggs Benny: My friend had this and she absolutely loved it. It not only looked great, but tasted even better. So another great option to try. (3) orange Carrot and ginger: This was lovely, so refreshing and flavourful all at the same time. Loved the colour as well. Service: (5/5) Fantastic. All the staff were so kind and friendly. Wanted to call out Isdemar and Mich who waited for us and they were fantastic. Loved how they were checking up on us and the food as well as doing it with a nice friendly smile. Thanks for such a good experience. Summary: (5/5) Fantastic option for a brunch. Do book a seat early because this place is so good, it can sometime be hard to get a seat. But totally worth it! You will thank yourself for it.

This place (and it’s stable mate elsewhere in the city) are always busy. I’m fact I’m not sure if you can book online or not, but if you arrive on spec, expect to check in via QR code and then be told how long your wait is. Ours was 25m, so we took a walk along the canal by ARTIS (the zoo at rear) amusing ourselves with snatched glimpses of giraffes and elephants before lunch. Obviously currently very fashionable with young adults, there’s a definite ‘trendiness’ to it. But if like me/us, you are not of that demographic, don’t be put off. This is not a case of style over substance. The food is really good and although the menu is pretty much ‘modern American breakfast diner’, the ingredients are good and the chef knows how to put these plates together. I had the kiwi breakfast (pictured with the he sausage) and every part of it was spot on. My companions all had the B&R special with various amendments and were equally happy. Service was typically Dutch (slow and never exceptional. E.g. all our drinks were emptied and plates cleared before we saw a waiter to ask for a second drink. No desserts because the by the time the waiter shows up, the children have read their comics, our dinners are half digested and we need some air. But staff were friendly, meals arrived warm and the ambiance is buzzy. It’s a bit pricey (but what isn’t here in de dak these days. It’s no worse than many and better than some). I definitely recommend it as rare brunch spot.

We went there on Sunday morning (or 11:30am). I guess that’s my fault and I should check there is a waiting list. We had to sign up and after 40 minutes I got a text there is a table for us. We ordered coffe, which was really good but the waiter got our orders wrong and I got coffe with cow milk my friend ordered. Homemade kombucha unfortunately wasn’t tasty, same with mimosa (they bring orange juice and prosseco so you can add them on your own but that one cava is one of the worst). And then we waited for out breakfast. And waited. Around 45 minutes which I consider way too long for a simple breakfast place. I tried seasonal brioche with turkey and tomato harissa (I believe, can’t find seasonal card on your website). It was okay but I wasn’t in love, I think that harissa ruined that for me. I tried some of my mate’s pancakes and they were okay. We were eating outside and bees were flying all over us and trying to get on the food. In some point it was really hard trying to chase them and our table wasn’t the only one struggling. I don’t know if that was food or flowers around the seats. I have allergy for bee and they were quite agressive, it was really hard to get rid of them. I think staff should check on clients more ofter or not even because nobody did in those 45 minutes of waiting or after we got our dishes.

Hospitality - 4/5 Selection - 3/5 Quality of Food - 3/5 Overall - 3.5/5 Being a fan of New Zealand style coffee we were excited to try this local place out! We were forewarned about the wait and did so for about 45 minutes. So just be aware this place is known and hip, so check in as early as you can via their QR code/App. We walked in and were greeted, and got to choose from siting upstairs or on the ground level. We chose to sit up stairs. This was a good option and got a quaint table in the corner. We got a second to review the menu before getting greeted by the waitress. My wife and I both decided on the flat white, as this is our favorite. To our surprise, after reading the review’s, the coffee was just okay. You could tell the coffee was either stale or slightly over roasted. Something was just off. As for the food we chose the eggs benny and chorizo burrito. The eggs benny was nice and wasn’t over powered by the hollandaise sauce. So good I lost it half way though the meal by my wide. She chose the chorizo burrito, and was expecting more of a traditional chorizo. This was something different. She did however enjoy the chipotle sauce that came with it and put that down with the potatoes without a problem. Overall, we did enjoy Bakers & Roasters, but we don’t say it was not worth the wait time.

A little roast as well as a toast to bakers and roasters—as the kiwis down under do some of the best roasts on earth, both on the barby and of each other. As such I’m sure they won’t mind. The place is cute and the food is good, the pancakes are supremely fluffy and served fast. Tje coffee is hot and the bacon crisp. The prices are steep but as they explain on their menu it’s because they do better than most at using locally sourced and sustainable ingredients. It’s also one of the few decent brunch places in the area. My only gripe was the way the place is organized, sure it gets a little lively on the weekend but having all of you waiters run around with IPads like you’re a Michelin star restaurant—and the accompanying stressy urgency of setting tables and sitting people seemed unnecessary and out of character for the overall Oceania vibes of the place. The menu states there is a 2 euro penalty for changing your order, as it messes with the kitchens ability to do their work. I’ve never seen this anywhere in Amsterdam and it seems to me if you switch from pancake stack, and that messes with how you run your kitchen— that is a kitchen problem, not a customer problem That being said— if you’re steadfast in your choice of pancake and not afraid to stare down the iPad, this is a good spot for brunch

This place is not in the main throes of Amsterdam which I really liked. It's a great spot for some yummy weekend brunch. Our table of four had reserved a table yet had to wait a good 20 mins for the table to be ready, so yes - it's a popular place! We were seated on the ground floor but they've got a second floor upstairs as well as some outdoor tables outside and across the road. The food is delicious and tasty. Bloody Mary's were made spicy and zingy and our wait staff that took care of us was swift and friendly. The only minor annoyance was when we got there, there was noone at the front door and with COVID, most places ask you to wait. So we did, and after 5 minutes we went inside to go find someone to tell them we'd arrive, we were told to wait outside but then that person disappeared and didn't come back for another 5 mins. It also wasn't marked clearly for people that had reservations and those that were walk-ins. If it was, it would have prevented the hoard of people standing around at the front of their cafe. But this is worth a visit if you are looking for a brunch place in Amsterdam!
