    Cute, retro, relaxed, veggie cafe with vegan & gluten-free options. The menu is simple but well crafted. I wanted the bibimbap but sadly they'd sold out (must be popular) so I opted for the weed burger which was delicious! It came with pickles which I'm not a fan of, but I loved the garlic sauce, simple quinoa side salad & sweet veggie fries. The tempeh sandwich was a hit with my dad. Service was quite slow given how empty it was, but the staff were friendly & helpful. I'd have tried the vegan carrot cake if I still had room as it looked amazing. There was a good selection of fresh, homemade cakes.

    (Translated by Google) A cozy living room atmosphere, where my grandson of six could also practice his writing skills and cut plenty. Every year we celebrate our birthday somewhere else, my daughter chose "Beter & Leuk". We have a nice cappuccino with gluten-free chocolate pastries. The service is friendly. The toilet creative and clean. The only downside: watch out with your nylon stockings or put on pants. (Original) Een gezellige huiskamer sfeer, waar ook mijn kleinzoon van zes zijn schrijfkunst kon oefenen en volop zat te knippen. Elk jaar vieren wij onze verjaardag ergens anders, mijn dochter koos voor "Beter & Leuk" . Wij hebben een lekkere cappuccino gedronken met glutenvrije chocolade gebak. De bediening is vriendelijk. De toilet creatief en schoon. Het enige minpuntje: kijk uit met je nylon kousen óf trek een broek aan.

    Nice decoration and friendly staff. I had a cappuccino with soy milk and glutenfree maple pancakes. In my personal opinion it didn't taste good. Pancakes were not fluffy and it was only tasting like ginger bread spice. It was too herb for pancakes.

    We love it! Great vegan options. Smoothie bowls are super tasty as well as the FRESH juices. Also recommend is the cashew cheese.. a dream. Atmosphere is cosy. Staff is super friendly and helpful.

    I'm as far from vegan as it gets, but I thoroughly enjoyed their pancakes, scones and a smoothie. We had a Vegan Break-Fest for two and while it wasn't too much and was a bit pricey (27€) it was still enough for a good breakfast. I'm definitely not turning vegan, but I liked the "home" vibe of the place.

    Had the most relaxing breakfast there. The indian baked beans masala was already the perfect start for a rainy day, however the walnut cashew pie with chocolate was outstanding! Enjoyed it very much.

    The food did NOT disappoint. We had an amazing, healthy vegan breakfast here. The meals were satisfying and delicious which can sometimes be a hard combination to find. We got the buckwheat pancakes and the fig and cashew cheese bread with rocket and walnuts. The open faced sandwich was exceptional and came with a small quinoa side salad that was absolutely delicious. Wish we could eat here all of the time!

    When I did stay in Amsterdam I had a great breakfast here. The coffee was super nice and the pancakes were super tasty. Thank you for the friendly service! Will come back any time I am in the area again.

    (Translated by Google) Hope that some points for improvement are included below before this trend continues: Waited a very long time before we could order, until the food was served and until we got the bill. Lunch was on the table after an hour. The crockery was dirty and sometimes broken off (dangerous). Leave Chai latte because it was not flavored and the cup was filthy and leaking. The mango in the dish looked like pineapple kwa structure and so sour. The straw in the shake quickly faded and could no longer be drunk. The empty plates and glasses were not removed from the table, so the entire table was constantly full. The staff did not look at us and I had to raise my finger several times or walk towards them to get attention. Staff made several mistakes in the orders and was very surly. I always had to close the outside door against the cold because it remained open. So literally disappointed. Except for the delicious pancakes and coffee :) (Original) Hoop dat uit hieronder wat punten ter verbetering worden opgenomen voordat deze trend doorzet: Heel erg lang gewacht voordat we konden bestellen, totdat het eten werd uitgeserveerd en totdat we de rekening kregen. Pas na een uur stond de lunch op tafel. Het servies was vies en soms afgebroken (gevaarlijk). Chai latte laten staan omdat deze niet op smaak was en de beker was smerig en lekte. De mango in het gerecht leek wel ananas kwa structuur en zo zuur. Het rietje in de shake was snel verlept en niet meer uit te drinken. De lege borden en glazen werden niet van tafel gehaald, dus de hele tafel stond continu vol. Het personeel keek niet naar ons om en ik moest mijn vinger meermaals opsteken of naar ze toe lopen om aandacht te krijgen. Personeel maakte meerdere fouten in de bestellingen en was erg nors. Ik moest de buitendeur steeds dichtdoen tegen de kou omdat deze open bleef staan. Viel dus letterlijk vies tegen. Op de lekkere pannekoeken en koffie na:)

    We came here for a vegan breakfast and what else can we say? We had an amazing breakfast! Also gluten-free and everything is selfmade and made with love. The cakes and the options of the meals makes every vegan heart beat faster. The buckwheat pancakes were the best I ever had - and I already had a lot! They are very fluffy and are served with fresh fruit and maple syrup. The list of vegan and gluten free cakes and other sweets is endless. The staff was also very friendly and attentive. We had a wonderful breakfast here. We would definitely come here again. P.S. They also have a little shelf with plastic free options for a better lifestyle with less plastic (shampoo bars, soaps, bamboo toothbrushes, etc). :-)

    Nice cafe with simple menu including some healthy items. Good gluten-free options. Menu items a little small and smoothie bowl was quite runny but had nice toppings. Little shop with clothes and accessories in corner.

    If you're looking for a healthy, authentic breakfast where the locals come, it's here. Just be prepared for a very limited menu based on the availability of local ingredients. It's small and quaint and was a nice experience. But again, a limited menu and all very health conscious. Caters to vegans.

    Great food (all vegan), generous portions and friendly service! They have baked goods, cakes, good coffee and a variety of lunch options. I saw they do high tea as well which I thought was quite affordable. I will definitely come back again.

  • 4/5 Kathrine N. 4 years ago on Google
    Super-super nice food with a Korean twist! Highly recommend. However, make sure you double-check if you receive the food you actually ordered. My friend and I both have gluten intolerance, and inquired about gluten free options upon arrival, before ordering and when receiving our food - yet when we bit into our food it immediately became clear that we had in fact not received gluten free bread. The staff first insisted that the order was correct, but eventually admitted it was not and agreed to change it. We waited a good 30 minutes for the order to come back (although very few others were waiting for food), and honestly, it seemed like the staff decided to take a break halfway through making our sandwich. Annoying, but we decided to write it off as a fluke - that was until we saw the table next to us complaining that rather than getting the vegan egg salad, they had received the only non-vegan dish on the menu containing both egg and dairy. Again, super-super nice food - worth it - but make sure you get what you actually ordered.

  • 5/5 Miglė M. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderfully delicious, best buckwheat panckes I’ve ever tried! And if you take also the smoothie bowl- you have the ultimate brunch combo!

    Beautiful shop! I had a date energy ball and a slice of banana bread with almond butter I believe it was. Very tasty!

  • 2/5 Alec S. 1 year ago on Google
    We really didn’t enjoy the experience here. The woman at the counter was not friendly at all and just stared at us when we walked in, without even saying hi after we greeted her upon arrival with friendly hellos and smile. Then my latte came out hot instead of iced as I had asked for, but they were nice enough to remake it. We had also ordered a croissant which took 20 minutes and two reminders before it finally arrived. It’s a bummer, I used to really like Beter and Leuk when I went in 2019 but the experience today just wasn’t what we expected :(

  • 2/5 Nico C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the kind of place that gives vegan food bad reputation. Food is dry and lacking flavour. Service is very slow and inattentive for a place so small. Wouldn't recommend at all.

  • 2/5 Gabrielle I. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Food is very good and tasteful. Many vegan options. Very unfortunate that the interior is dated and a bit dirty. The service is mediocre. I was once served by a girl who was walking around in her bare belly and another time she was snubbed by a lady at the take-out counter where I wanted to pick up something but apparently not the intention because despite the sign 'open' she still doesn't would be open. In short, a lot of potential that, in my experience, has not yet been achieved. Food 4 stars Service 2.5 Decor 1 star (Original) Eten is heel goed en smaakvol. Veel vegan opties. Erg jammer dat het interieur gedateerd en een beetje viezig is. De service is middelmatig. Ben een keertje bediend door een meisje die in haar blote buik rondliep en een andere keer afgesnauwd door een dame aan de take-out balie waar ik iets wilde afhalen maar wat kennelijk niet de bedoeling was omdat ze ondanks het bordje ‘open’ ze nog niet open zouden zijn. Kortom, veel potentie die er naar mijn ervaring nog niet is uitgehaald. Eten 4 sterren Service 2,5 Decor 1 ster

    (Translated by Google) Food and ambiance excellent, but service was slow, and to order or pay for something we had to put a lot of effort into attracting the attention of the staff. It was not busy (2 tables occupied), and the space is not large, so something more alert service should not be that difficult. Carrot cake and rendang jackfruit were very tasty. We were there last Monday, lunch time (Original) Eten en ambiance prima, maar bediening was traag, en om iets bij te bestellen of af te rekenen moesten we wel veel moeite doen om de aandacht van het personeel te trekken. Het was niet druk (2 tafels bezet) , en de ruimte is niet groot, dus iets alertere bediening moet niet zo moeilijk zijn. Carrot cake en rendang jackfruit waren erg lekker. We waren er afgelopen maandag, lunchtijd

    Great place for vegan breakfast 🥞 we had the large breakfast for 2 hungry vegans and we weren’t disappointed 😊 tasty food, ample choice of sweet and savory. The staff is really nice and friendly too! Great way to start the day. The cafe was really busy when we visited on a Saturday so I’d recommend reserving a table just to be safe.

    Hands down the best vegan/vegetarian restaurant in Amsterdam. Even if you’re not a vegetarian, you should definitely try this place. We had the tempeh sandwich and the vegan rendang, both were delicious. I would especially recommend the rendang. They have a pretty decent Matcha latte as well.

    (Translated by Google) Last Saturday I visited this lunch opportunity, found via a gluten-free blog. No standard card, everything is indicated as being vegan or also gluten-free. Fritz is on the menu as a brand, alternatives to the standard soft drink .. the meals are real gems and gluten-free. Can highly recommend it :-) (Original) Afgelopen zaterdag heb ik deze lunch gelegenheid bezocht, gevonden via een Glutenvrije blog. Geen standaard kaart, alles staat aangegeven wat vegan danwel of ook glutenvrij.

It's worth it when you're around, otherwise not a must.
