👍👍 What a wonderful little pub. Great selection and delicious food! And the staff was so nice and accommodating. We had a warm seat by the window while it was rainy and chilly outside and it was just lovely. You have to go!

    Wonderful experience at Waterloo. The warm salmon scrambled eggs sandwich was absolutely delicious. The latte was also very good. The place was packed for breakfast but the service was superb. Recommend to anyone interested in good quality food at reasonable prices

    I liked this place so much I am back twice! Lovely friendly staff, great food and cool atmosphere. They have the best croissants ice ever eaten and the apple pie is delicious. They also have a reasonable black tea - something I've found incredibly difficult to find in Europe!

    This restaurant seems a place for some clientelle who are frequent here. The ambiance is very cozy and looks like everyone knows everybody. We came here to have a quick breakfast before going to our day trip. We are basically the first customer of the day, so I cannot say if the service here is fast, but I must say, the food was great. They have indoor and outdoor tables for everyone. The plate quantity is worth the price. Coffee was great. We will definitely come back here if we ever visit Amsterdam in future.

    Got an iced cappuccino that was maybe the best drink of any kind I've ever had. It was like a milkshake, I think they blended the ice into it - it was so good.

    After 3 weeks traveling from Budapest to Amsterdam we finally found a great coffee shop. The best coffee in Europe and great place for breakfast. Also close to Eaterloo market and the Metro station

    I had the best Club Sandwich of my entire life. I am now confident that I have tasted literally the best Sandwich in the entire world. I wasn't even looking for it, and yet I found this wonderful place and knowing this exists has changed my life forever.

  • 5/5 Julia R. 10 months ago on Google
    SUCH fresh food and generous portions, as well as friendly and attentive service. I loved it so much last time, I’m already making plans to go back!

  • 5/5 JP B. 11 months ago on Google
    We had breakfast here because it opens early and it is conveniently located near the Waterloo metro station. I had the granola with yogurt and my girlfriend had the traditional breakfast. The coffee and the food were excellent and the staff is friendly.

  • 5/5 John S. 7 months ago on Google
    Friendly neighborhood restaurant with outdoor sidewalk seating. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We heard when in Amsterdam you should try croquets. We did and we loved them.

  • 5/5 julie g. 4 months ago on Google
    I went there for lunch and got the split pea soup with a ginger tea, it was simple yet fabulous !! The athmosphere is really cozy, and the waiters are amazing !! I would 100% recommend !!

  • 4/5 Ben H. 7 months ago on Google
    Good spot for breakfast away from the busier streets. 'English Breakfast' was different with salad, but offered decent value (compared to other places in the area) for €11. Large coffee was €4. Staff were friendly too

  • 5/5 Batuhan O. 4 months ago on Google
    A warm shelter from the weather to eat great food. Loved the pie and the philly cheese stake! The prices are reasonable and the interior is comfortable. Thanks again!

    Lovely pistoletje Philly Cheese Steak and Koffie Verkeerd. Very nice place right by the Flea Market Waterlooplein. Staff friendly and cheerful. A nice place, indoor and outdoor seating. Wheelchair accessible. Recommended.

  • 4/5 Anushka K. 3 years ago on Google
    Pea soup as advertised was great. The small bites were delicious. I was happy with my toast as well :) Decently priced.

  • 5/5 Gregory K. 4 years ago on Google
    Easiest 5 star review I've ever written. Can't recommend this place enough - great food, great services, great prices. The pea soup is a perfect antidote to the windy Amsterdam afternoons! If you're in the area, definitely give this place a shot.

  • 5/5 Michael H. 4 years ago on Google
    Excellent out of the way restaurant/pub serving beautiful food and good strong local Amsterdam beer. Service second to none with a brilliant owner. Couldn't do enough for his customers. A definite return essential.

  • 5/5 Ms G. G. 2 years ago on Google
    The food here is delicious with high quality ingredients and meats, very nice staff - highly recommend. My husband stopped here twice and plan to stop for breakfast as well. We had the split pea soup, hot sausage sandwich, Philly cheese steak, and ginger tea.

  • 5/5 Yngrid C. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place with a very kind staff. It's like a familiar business which is a plus for me because they take care about quality and service. They have wheelchair access which it's really nice! We ordered a chicken club sandwich, philly cheese steak sandwich and waterloo sandwich, for sharing we ordered fries and sausage, everything was food, ingredients felt fresh. They even have a lunch menu. Definitely coming back to this place!

  • 5/5 Lais B. 2 years ago on Google
    Waterloo is a cozy and pleasant place to have breakfast or drinks. The staff was so lovely and friendly. My husband and I felt very welcome! Unfortunately, there is construction going on right in the front of the building, but this was not a problem. We even forgot about it when we were there. I highly recommend the Poffertjes for breakfast. It's delicious!! Price is fair for the location.

  • 5/5 Nando M. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing place in such a busy city. Out of all the breakfast joints/ pubs this is the one you gotta see once and youll always be back. I love their food , the people working there, the location. Its a bit cozy in there but you feel that in the service as well. Gezellig!!

  • 5/5 Michael M. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious and the Waterloo baguette was stellar and the food just complimented each other. The flat white was smooth and creamy so I’d say worth the visit. Minimal spending and maximum result, staff is super friendly and more than understanding. Keep up the amazing work🙌🏾

  • 5/5 Jimmy P. 2 years ago on Google
    Very welcoming staff, fast service and tasty food. Had a smoothie and sandwich! Would recommend.

  • 5/5 Felix 1 year ago on Google
    Very cute Cafe with friendly Bilingual Servers. A diverse Menu with reasonable prices. I had the Smoked Salmon Sandwich which was very tasty but overloaded with Mayonnaise, my Girlfriend had an Omelette with Cheese and Ham can recommend both dishes. The Orange Juice was great the Coffee was not out of the Ordinary. Overall a very pleasant experience i can recommend to others.

  • 5/5 LeBrie R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great sandwich shop that’s always packed with locals and visitors alike. Love that the sandwiches here have tons of veggies and the meat is fresh cut on the slicer. All the food is made by hand, the staff is SO nice, and the prices are good. A gem in the center of Amsterdam!

  • 5/5 Jordan C. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Timea C. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little place at the centre of Amsterdam. I had a vegan burger with fries, it was made of chichpea, but it wasn't tasted like chickpea, it had a strange consistency but I liked it. The amount was more than enough. My partner had satay chicken, he also liked it. I recommend this place!

  • 5/5 Murderino 1 year ago on Google
    Best coffee in Amsterdam. It’s HOT, perfect espresso shot, perfect foam. Every one should learn from here on how to actually make coffee. The food is also a must! So good so spoiled

  • 5/5 Mounir B. 2 years ago on Google
    Generous portions served with smile. The owner speak several languages, it is very nice to discuss with him

  • 5/5 Sophie M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to stop if you've been visiting the botanical gardens, about a 5 minute walk. Lovely atmosphere, staff were very friendly and food was beautiful, and the coffee too!

👍👍 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-...
