Selma's — Restaurant in Amsterdam

What an utterly charming gem of a shop! You know when you hear about a darling Dutch experience? Well Selmas 100% embodies that notion! Even standing outside, one can not only see the outstanding offerings but can actually feel the awesome vibes emanating from within. This place makes you smile and feel nice inside. The pastries are magnificent and that cardamom bun now lives rent-free in my head and heart 💜 The service is wonderful. Really good people work here- you can feel the heart and soul of the employees as regulars stop in and enjoy light banter. Just such a nice place to be! They had an interesting array of brewing items for sale and an intriguing looking oat-milk too also for sale. They also have an amazing looking vegan option too 🌱 If I were a local, I’d be a regular 💜 Selma uses a local Amsterdam-based coffee roaster called Stooker which they perfect on a gorgeous Lamarzocco ☕️ Overall, it doesn’t get more perfect...

She looked like she hated her job and people in general.

In my experience there is only one barista who is always in a good mood and does her job professionally. A girl with curls but I’m not lucky enough to always being served by her.

Personally for me the service is more important than food. There is plenty places nearby where I can have my coffee and...
