Bagels & Beans — Restaurant in Zaanstad

Bagels&Beans Zaandam

For me it’s been a while since I’ve visted a Bagels&Beans. Thankgod they still have the wild salmon wasabi mayo on their menu. For the drinks they only have non artificially coloured drinks so it means all natural stuff, I took the soursop. The wild salmon also comes with chives sour cream.

Food: So the recipe hasn’t changed at all, I don’t remember which bagels I’ve chosen. Hilarious because this is a bagels shop but you forgot whichone you’ve got. The choice is peculiar, there is so much choice.

They also have some vegan options for the desserts, as well as dairy-free milk alternatives for coffees. Conveniently located right outside Zaandam Station, if you’re keen on checking out the Lego-like buildings, or on your way to Zaanse Schans...

I am not one to post reviews but I honestly left with a sour taste at how this was handled. I really like the food here but I just had an iced coffee and when I was reaching the end of the drink I noticed there was a piece of a used sugar packet at the bottom of the inside of the glass. I’m disgusted that there was someone else’s trash in my coffee. When I mentioned it to an employee (and even suggested that maybe their dishwasher wasn’t working well?) they disregarded my complaint and said it had maybe flew into the glass (how? As it was at the very bottom of the drink). Poor service and...
