Unpleasant Staff Overshadow Great Food at De Drie Graefjes Zuid
Regrettably, my visit to De Drie Graefjes Zuid was overshadowed by the exceptionally rude staff. Despite the bakery's delicious offerings, the unwelcoming and dismissive attitude of the employees significantly marred the experience. Questions about the products were met with impatience, making the environment uncomfortable.
Additionally, their superficial nod to LGBTQI+ inclusivity with gender-normative rainbow cake toppings (only blue or pink) felt insincere and out of touch. It's a pity, as the quality of their baked goods is top-notch. However, excellent food cannot make up for the lack of courtesy and a genuine commitment to inclusivity.
I hope De Drie Graefjes Zuid takes this feedback seriously and improves their service. Until then, I'll be looking for a more welcoming spot that values both great food and respectful treatment...
Read moreI had high hopes when I ordered a birthday cake for my best friend’s special day, from a well-known and highly rated American bakery. Given the premium price, I expected something extraordinary—both in taste and quality. Unfortunately, my experience was far from what I anticipated.
The cake was overwhelmingly sweet, to the point where the only flavors I could discern were butter and sugar. The texture of the sugar was even noticeable in the topping, which felt unrefined and unbalanced. It lacked the finesse and complexity I would expect from such a renowned bakery.

If you’re someone who values flavor and a refined dessert experience, I’d recommend exploring other options before spending your money here. I hope this feedback helps others avoid the same disappointment I...
Read moreI usually visit the 3 Graefjes in the city center, but ran into their Zuid establishment because of appointments in the area. The interior is more modern than the other two, but the smells are definitely the same! An array from cakes to choose from in the counter with all the usual suspects like Hummingbirdcake, cheesecake and of course Red Velvetcake. I enjoyed my breakfast at 3 Graefjes Zuid: stacked banana pancakes with syrup and gingertea. The pancakes are thick and tasty, but a bit more grainy (even cakelike) and less fluffy than I'm used to. Nevertheless, it makes a really good breakfast together with all the fresh fruit. The esthablishment has really big glass windows, overlooking Stadionplein and a tiny bit of the Olympic Stadium. I would come here again to enjoy breakfast or lunch,...
