    Great bar located in the center with, very friendly and fast staff, amazing beer, and tasty snacks 👌🏼 visited it twice. And in love with this outside seating under the hitting, so warm and cozy, while watching the rain and the city life around. We had quesadillas, calamari, choruzzo and drinks

    Service isn't great, coudn't make our drinks because the pre mix was out. So it was too hard to mix the drink themselves. Cafe Fonteyn is a way better place too go which is just a few doords down.

    Loved this spot in Amsterdam. Service was amazing and the only thing to trump the service was the sandwich. I had the Cuban. It was amazing. I find for some reason some people either get it right or it's a complete swing and a miss. This place hits a home run with every swing!!

    The food is amazing, as are the drinks. Unfortunately the delivery time is pretty low and it doesn’t always fit exactly what you ordered ahah. But overall a pretty good and nice team, great food and a fun experience overall.

    Nice grand cafe in the heart of the tourist area. Good cocktails (although almost €10,-) and (a bit too) loud (but nice) music. Watch your belongings!

    Good place to stop by for a pint or two. Good finger foods as well.

    Latin vibes is real when we came here! There were tipsy latinos dancing inside the bar (and we were sitting outside) and every time I went inside to order some drinks they were always inviting to dance. Fun though and the servers are very friendly. Although there were only 2 servers that night, they managed to serve our orders correctly and we didn't have to wait too long. The location is in the tourist area so I guess that's why the prices are more expensive but I think they should lower the prices since so far they have more expensive cocktails compared to the nearby bars with the same quality.

    The Cortado tast was good and the atmosphere was nice.

    Nice place, reasonable prices, they have area to sit outside too, didn't like the interior design but quite typical bar interior.

    Visited for lunch as part of a cycling tour, great food and service. Indoor and outdoor area

  • 1/5 S j. 1 year ago on Google
    There was very unfriendly female staff who has short blond hair and chubby. She brought coffee for my friend but I should wait for 20 min for my tea. She gave well drinks to other client, so I asked her again. Then she brought my tea after another 10 min without saying anything and left the tea on the corner of the table. When I paid she didn't say good bye or nothing. Really uneducated manner. If she doesn't like her job, why she is working there with long face?

  • 2/5 Horace G. 4 years ago on Google
    Music way to loud for conversion. Had to shout at the person next to me. One member of bar staff in particular appeared high. He forgot our entire beer order, had us waiting ages, jumped around the place and lit a firework UNDER the canopy. Wont go back.

  • 3/5 Sylwester W. (. 2 years ago on Google
    The staff is very friendly, the atmosphere if nice but the drinks were on the weak side. Caipirinha was not balanced and a little too watery...

  • 3/5 L B. 4 years ago on Google
    Sangria was weak. Beer choices could have been better. Table was dingy. Service was a lil disorganized. Food wasn’t the best quality. Cool atmosphere and decor. Allot like actual places in Cuba, which isn’t saying much.

    Many tea choices, good hot chocolate. Friendly staff, welcoming atmosphere with nice music. You can play card games.

👍 A cozy restaurant with a view. I liked those Avocado chips very much. Comparatively budget friendly in central Amsterdam. (More ideal for a coffee date.) They are providing white bread with steak. . . PS: Don’t forget to reserve a table and visit the restaurant.
