I live in Zandvoort and waited for a good weather to have a breakfast with my family on the terrace in this place. But unfortunately I had terrible experience. We ordered food ( 2 coffee, juice ,2 fried eggs and pancakes ). We had to wait for an hour! Every time waiters did not know whose order it was and every single time they were just asking between the tables “is it yours, is it yours, did you ordered?” The waiters around 3 times tried to give us coffee or food we did not order and every time we asked where is our food. In the ends after an hour waiting brought our order and forgot one egg tost. Then they could not find the order to check, then they found order where was one egg because they forgot or misheard the order. Simply terrible experience with the service . Very very disappointing . Food was tasty but we did not feel it because of all mess and experience. Waiter was asking in the end is everything ok and I shared my experience but only what I heard back was “ ok” . Ok....

Sadly, this kind of customer treatment and lack of quality makes it hard to...
Read moreI'm a cafe hunter. In every city I visit, I look for a cafe with a unique local atmosphere. Yes, blue zone coffee is a concept invented in New Zealand, but in Zandvoort it's a cafe full of local people with their local dogs, surreal and spirited staff lady communicating simultaneously in Dutch, English, Italian and with hands. You can sit right on the sidewalk of the picturesque street, watching how cars, bicycles, dogs, cats, children from kindergarten, supply trucks, seagulls, pigeons and tourists mingle on a few meters wide road. The coffee is intense and very tasty... served in glass cups 😃. I also tasted sweet pastries with cardamom and sugar coating, after which I licked my sweet sticky fingers for...
