From the bottom of my heart, I truly, truly, love Bluey's! From the first time I visited (before the fire) I've loved their atmosphere, their ambiance & their coffees! And it's a great great spot to spend a day working away on your laptop or reading a book. Their resilience and the way they've come back after the fire is really admireable and I'm so happy to see how they've updated, upgraded and made the place even better than it already was! However... I do think I would come by more often if they had different pricing. I've seen a different review talking about "that's Amsterdam prices for you", but to be real and honest.. it's just not true..even for Amsterdam standard and prices..the prices are ri-di-cu-lous-ly high! You pay almost 5 euro's for a tea.. but then get a really tiny small glass?! If you go for the eggs and want any add-ons, you could pay almost 8 euro for just your add-on of salmon (okay, it is gin-infused, but no option for regular smoked salmon either) and the price for this add-on is almost the same as your toast with eggs. But the croastie (toasted croissant) with the same gin-infused salmon is just 1 euro more than if the salmon was an add-on? It just doesn't make any sense.. It then also really surprises me what the amount of food you get is: so little and to be honest.. the way it's presented not always a feast for the eyes. I find it such a shame, because the spot is superb for me.. but then the thought of paying almost 30 euro's for 1 sourdough bread with eggs and mushrooms for example (drinks still excluded!!) just puts me off. And often I'm still left hungry after. There are other spots in the neighborhood that offer better quality, more substantial brekkies for...
Read moreYum!! As an Aussie, I was so impressed to find a cafe in Amsterdam serving incredible coffee and brunch that’s right up there with the best cafe’s back at home.
The service was super friendly and welcoming and every dish we ordered was beautifully presented and full of flavour.
There were quite a few of us in our group, so we were able to order almost one of everything and I honestly can’t fault a thing.
The highlight for us was the Cilbir and the ‘Go for it’ (if you like a bit of spice you’ll love this - like I did!). The pancakes were to die for and the Eggs BLUEYS reminds me of my fav Eggs Benedicts but on a crispy piece of polenta- yum.
They also had a great kids menu-my kids loved the pancakes!
The cafe is spacious, with a cozy and comfortable vibe.
It’s also right across the road from a big skatepark and playground, so the kids went and had a play...
Read moreBluey’s is a real gem. Cosy. Bright. Refreshing.
This time we ordered some Bluey’s eggs and a “Go For It.” And my, my, my. The crispy texture of what seems to be like fried cornbread enveloped by juicy, scorched pork belly drizzled with some poached eggs are just 🤌 chef’s kiss. As for the “Go For It….” Please. Just go for it. Heard of fried pickles? Spicy scrambled eggs? Don’t you dare frown just GO FOR IT.
For drinks, we got an iced Coco and a classic iced americano. Summer at its finest.
Bluey’s, I love you. Don’t ever disappear.
But you know what’s better? The staff. Sunshine in human...
