    They do have lovely Hot Chocolate which is one of my favourite hot drink! Taste is excellent. Love the desserts there. Premium price since Most ingredients are organic! Wifi is available. Self service cafe! Good atmosphere, clean place. Had a great time with friends!

Really worth visiting this place for their soups. And can I also say that their chocolate orangettes are amazing when paired with a warm drink like ginger tea?

    After the third mistakes by the same barista I decided to give a review. This barista first decided to give me a cappuccino with regular milk instead of soy. She was busy talking with a client about the fun fact that she could also speak Spanish when I returned to do my story. She was so busy a colleague had to help and saw in an instant it was milk. Today I asked for a medium coffee but was asked to pay for a small one, so asked her to adjust it. It was for there, but finally didn't get a real cup, but ended up getting a small coffee in a paper cup. Don't believe me? You be the judge.

    They have a variety of vegetarian dishes, a few vegan ones. Good latte, free water, tasty carrot cake.

    As we had to use Amsterdam Central station this place was a perfect pit stop for us in every way..The staff : well we have seen all the staff who worked there as we dropped in 3 time at different times..they were all helpfull and pleasant..The Service : it was very nice and quick ..The Cakes and sandviches : cakes were delicious..me and my wife had different cakes every visit and they were great..so was the coffee.. The Pricing : well wasnt really over-priced but was worth every cent...the place is always full and can be a little hard to find a place to sit but well we manged somehow..definetly a place to visit for the next trip..

    Tried risotto curry - on the fan (seems vegan version, there was no creamy taste, there were no bright accents, I definitely won't take it a second time). I can recommend ham-bacon-emmental with mozzarella: a simple dish, soft dough, understandable and tasty ingredients- it is difficult to cook tasteless with them. Prices are average. Nice polite staff. There is a promenade nearby, so it is convenient to take something with you and walk along it.

    Nice and clean with a nice location by the water. Suitable for travelling people, while waiting for their trains or for quick meetings without need to go faraway from the train station! Friendly staaf and good coffee 👍

    Visited on 03/10/23 at 15:30. Ordered Chail latte at €3.90 and chocolate cake at €3.50. Decent taste, excellent environment and they even serve hot drinks with small chocolate bar. They have options for healthy drinks as well, instant smoothies of your choice.

    Ordered cheesecake and cappuccino. I liked the cake but not the coffee that much. It was too bitter for me. We had a protein bowl, and that was quite nice.

    Falafel hot meal with cinnamon rice. My daughter had a goat cheese walnut and dried tomatoes salad. Pretty good. Minus, warming the meal in the microwave made the falafel soft and sticky. Nice ambience friendly waiter.

    The soup was pumpkin and it tasted like gherkin water. The bread was stale. Ended up leaving it after a spoonful as shown

  • 2/5 Lee 1 year ago on Google
    For a place that boasts sustainability, they have barely any vegan offerings. I was here in the morning, plenty of sandwiches, all of them with dairy or meat. My options were a pumpkin soup or some cold lentil salad. All the sweets were with dairy or eggs too. This place should get with the times…

    I think this is the best place to have a coffee or a snack at Central Station Amsterdam. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly and I enjoy their coffee. They also have nice soups and a good view to the ferries.

    I paid 5.50- for a frappe, and the cashier did not say the word how much was it and thank you. Not smiling at all. not encouraging to spend more money. What do they think of. I have come here many times for snacks, lunch and drinks. Bad hospital attitude. The “boss” he is chastising one of his crew in front of customers in the middle of operation. Bad sphere. It’s just conveniences people use this store, otherwise nothing. Shame on the great brand value of Exki. And frappe was not really a frappe, it was just iced latte. They can improve the quality of service.

    I visited this place today and had one of the best carrot cakes ever! Coffee is also very good and the prices are fair for the quality. The personnel was very kind and helpful (Sara)

    I tried strawberry 🍓 mint smoothie here and it was quiet nice and refreshing. You can choose your smoothie pack and they will blend it in a way you like, which was great 👍

  • 5/5 Sai W. 2 years ago on Google
    Tremendously friendly and so so delicious food and coffee, with alternative options too!

  • 4/5 Kimmeng C. 4 years ago on Google
    At the Amsterdam Central station, Exki serves organic food and opens early so you can have your brekkie before getting on your way. From healthy granola and yogurt, hearty tomato soup, apple strudel and beguette with jam and butter. Fresh juice and coffee rounds up a hearty breakfast.

  • 5/5 Ankit K. 1 year ago on Google
    If you like working in cafe this is one of the best place in Amsterdam central station. They open quite early at around 7 AM when rarely any cafe open up so you can start quite early. Lot of space and corners for you to setup your laptop with charging You also get a lot of food and drink options

    Very friendly service but lids don’t fit the take away cups which is dangerous for hot beverages

    Love this place in the train station. Cosy and comfortable. Great EXKi food and super friendly staff. Not even mentioned the view on the river.

    Service was excellent. Good brunch!

  • 3/5 Fatin Ibn S. 3 years ago on Google
    Had such a good time here! Staff were friendly and chatty but not over the top. They accommodated my strange order with no problem. Credit to the chefs and the service team. Our two dining experiences were after two very stressful days and were a fitting end to both. Recommended.

  • 4/5 Shahrukh K. 6 years ago on Google
    Great food and coffee place! Love their assortment of baked goodies, selection of salads and fresh juices-take away and eat in. Their chocolate cake is the best so far in the city! Tiny brownies are a must!

👍👍 The perfect place to enjoy high-quality seafood at a reasonable price. Was surprised to see this large restaurant buzzing at 5pm (both inside and outside!) but after seeing the fresh fish on display and trying the sashimi which just melts in the mouth I understood why. The staff were also very well-...
