Appeltje Eitje — Restaurant in The Hague

We came to this place expecting they would cater to vegans because they advertise themselves as very vegan friendly on social media. But when we asked the waitress what vegan options they have (and we spoke Dutch, so language wasn't a problem), she was completely clueless and called the chef. I should add here that vegan options were not clearly marked on the menu (which might have changed in the last few months since we were there). He arrived, quickly pointed at a couple of menu items and rushed away. Needless to say, it was hard for us to get much useful information from that. When I asked what vegan desserts they had, they told me to go check at the counter. There was only one vegan item there, a very sad looking raw cookie/bar. I really wish places offering vegan food would stop resorting to raw food, especially raw desserts because there's so so much more one can do in terms of vegan cuisine. We ended up ordering a very non-spectacular wrap and two average cappuccinos and quickly finished our meal because the place was overcrowded (plus our table and chairs were wonky and seemed very unstable). Also, the staff looked disorderly, taking cigarette breaks in front of the place, and they just didn't look very clean (just like the whole place, especially the kitchen area - which is or at least was visible and you can check other reviews that attest to that). We then went to Hummus across the street and got some delicious vegan food accompanied by kind and professional staff and a very nice, clean interior.

Two stars because the local cats seemed to be allowed to...

When I visited this place yesterday it was ok, good service, good engredients and atmosphere. We decided to come again today and unfortunately I had the worst service I have ever had. The waitress was very very rude. I ordered a breakfast toast and my boyfriend the zucchini waffle and a chicken tosti. We waited almost 1 h for this, people that come after us already had their food. The waitress avoided to look to us. After 50 min we asked what was happening, he said "nothing, your order will be ready soon". In 7 min since this talk our food was on the table, however not everything that we ordered. The tosti never come.

When we went to pay he asked if everything was alright. We said yes, unless the the fact that we needed to wait 1h to get a a toast and a waffle. He ignored our answer ( I don't understand why did he asked then) and sayed how much we had to pay. Not even an apology for the time we wait. This is to be...

This is a very cute and inviting place, in a great location. The food was average- nothing amazing, but the portion was decent for the price. They have some vegan options too. The coffee was very nice, so I would recommend going there for something to drink. The main issue was the service: it was extremely slow and the staff appeared quite rude, despite the place not being busy at all. Upon arriving we waited about 20 minutes before anyone came to take our order (and even then, it was only because we flagged down the waitress, who seemed a bit annoyed that we did this). We then waited a long time for the coffees, even longer for the food, and despite needing cutlery/more water we couldn't flag down the staff again. Not sure if it was just an off-day, but like I said it wasn't very busy so I'm not sure where the staff disappeared to or why they...
