achterstraat snack in Wijk 01 Woerden-Midden

Because of a visit to the orthopedic surgeon we went here for the first time to drink a cup of coffee. The staff is friendly. The coffee tasted good, but because it is self-service and you don't even get a cookie with your coffee, according to good Dutch custom, and you are expected to return your tray to the designated place when you leave, it is still quite expensive. The shop looks neat and reasonably cozy.

Delicious food, plenty of space, unlike other branches where seating can be cramped. It does take a really long time for your food to arrive; we could easily have gotten another round, but then they told us the kitchen was closed. Even though we were there really early. They probably don't want to overcharge you ;-)

Friendly people and they don't make things difficult if you arrive early.

My boyfriend and I were planning to have a nice dinner here, but we left feeling dissatisfied. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed and shown to a table. We had a choice of three tables. However, these were behind a wall, making us barely visible to the staff. We chose a table, but after fifteen minutes, no drinks or menus had been offered. Overlooked? It happens! I politely approached a staff member and told them we'd been waiting a while. She then came to help us, took our drink orders, and ordered the three-course menu. Unfortunately, it took a very long time for our appetizer to arrive. They had ordered at 7:15 PM, and it didn't arrive until 7:50 PM. It was delicious, though, so we held out hope. For the main course, my boyfriend and I both had the Bregje Burger. It took a good 45 minutes from the appetizer to the food... which is quite a long time. The food arrived. It wasn't a huge portion, but oh well, we still had hope. Until I touched the buns and they were very cold, just like the rest of the burger. The cheese on the burgers hadn't melted, and the burger was very soggy. As my boyfriend said, "What a waste of a cow." I normally don't like to comment on things like that, but this felt unacceptable. So we decided to skip dessert and eat it somewhere else.

We had yet another wonderful dinner at Heinde Woerden. There was a busy but festive atmosphere, and we truly wanted for nothing. We started with a glass of cava, tried several new things on the menu, and they were all delicious! Our orders came quickly, and we were regularly asked if we wanted anything else to drink. We found all the staff friendly and helpful, and we rewarded them with a generous tip! Keep up the great work, ladies and gentlemen, and we'll see you next time.
