STACH — Restaurant in Haarlem

The sandwiches are really tasty there, which is why I keep coming back, but apart from that I always have a negative feeling. The staff are dismissive, borderline rude and act like they really don't want to be there, so I always feel like I'm inconveniencing them when I order. The service is notoriously really slow (all Stach places I've been to, not just in Haarlem), if you have at least 1-2 people before you in line you know it will take ages. I think that's because often the person taking orders is also the person making the coffee, so they have to keep going back and forth. Not really well organised and very poor customer relations.

Stach in Haarlem is a cozy and unpretentious spot with great coffee and excellent service. It’s probably the closest thing you’ll find to a specialty café after 5 pm when most places around here close and leave you with only breweries selling coffee. The place isn’t super “aesthetic” but has a colorful and warm vibe. No latte art, but the coffee is delicious, and the pan au chocolat was on point.

The market inside adds to its charm, offering more than just a café experience, though it does take away from a purely aesthetic vibe. Still, the relaxed music and wide hours make this a spot you’ll want to...

Worst service ever!!!! After waiting at the front of the queue while the server made some sandwiches for other customers, absolutely no problem of course, however, no “Hi, I’ll be with you in a moment” she just completely ignored us as if we weren’t there. Sandwiches were ok but nothing special. Wouldn’t ever go back and I don’t recommend, go somewhere where they greet you with a smile. Not like it’s a chore...
