Blend Coffee & Wine — Restaurant in Amsterdam

The place looks great on the outside (lots of light, next to the water) but not worth it. Expensive (4e for a single cappuccino, 9.75 for a thin slice of bread with pear and goat cheese) but the service is the worst. The table was sticky with empty cups and dishes of the previous customers that no one picked up in the 2hrs I was there. I had to beg the (very nonchalant) waiter to order, after 15mins of waiting.

The staff was unfriendly and 3 of them ignored us standing at the counter for take away coffee (there was no other customers, so it wasn’t busy). The wine might still be ok as they don’t make this themselves, but I rather not risk it with so many other good places (Coffee: Rum Baba around the corner or even just Publiek next door if you are right there and in...
