Corner Bakery — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Not sure why people recommend this place. It was our 4th day in Netherlands and we have never failed any brunch or coffee until we visit this place.

First of all, the service was 'awkward'. I would not put a word 'rude' here, but certainly weird and somewhat unpleasant. They seemed extremely kind but at the same time very passive aggressive. All the menus were online and they reject any offline orders without providing any paper menus. You will have to be in basement if you dont book (again I have no idea why all those papers were booked), but the atmosphere was too small and not nice enough compared to others.

I at least expected something special in food and drinks. However, they were certainly below average! Just normal bread, croassaint and normal eggs - which they called as 'hang over breakfast' and took 20 euros from my pocket. The worst part was coffee. I have a fair bit of experience in coffee/barista, and could tell immediately their management on coffee machine was unhygienic and poor. Could taste lots of 'burnt smell' surely not from beans but the machine. Ice coffee was just not-cold coffee without ice.

I always thought dutch cafe provide decent coffee and brunch. I came from the UK and loved every parts of Dutch cafe. However, NOT this place. I am sure there are tons of better cafes around this...

Very disappointing experience at Corner Bakery Amsterdam. I bought a voucher at Tripper and made a reservation online to try their freaky crumble and tea/coffee.

Upon arriving, here’s what happened Staff said that there was no reservation under my name (despite showing the confirmation and reminder of reservation emails). She let me in anyway as there was space available. I went to ask what coffee/tea was part of the deal and was informed that any of them was included. When it was time to leave, more problems ensued as the staff was unsure how to settle the payment with voucher. After 10-15 minutes of explaining back and forth, phone calls and sending screenshots of confirmation etc to their boss and still they couldn’t decide if the deal was valid (because it wasn’t on their systems), I was asked to pay “just for the drink”. I questioned the staff member why I would need to pay extra when I already bought and paid for the deal that stated it includes cake and tea/coffee. After being treated like a criminal, I was finally told “it’s ok” and I could leave.

It’s very humiliating being treated like this and I cannot...

We had issues getting a reservation. The whatsapp process worked well in the past but they were non responsive for well over a day this time but we did finally get through and did have a reservation confirmed.

We arrived slightly early. We were able to see the manager move our reserved table upstairs (with window views) to the downstairs and seat a larger group that hadn't reserved to our upstairs reserved spot. He literally took the reserved sign and moved it right in front of us and sat the larger and then we followed him to where he put our reserved sign on our table.

This felt like an insult considering we had taken the time to reserve and struggled many times to get one in.

It was our Anniversary weekend and we really had fond memories of this cafe so we wanted to visit it again.

We've decided that we're done with them.

We'll find another cafe that doesn't treat people who actually take the effort to make a...
