Anne&Max Leiden in Binnenstad-Zuid

Took a tasting. No price quality ratio. Tasteless bite of old scones. Scraped together a few leftovers. The wait staff didn't know what it was either. Cappuccino was a weak coffee.

We had a breakfast board. Was a lot. Bread was not quite to our taste. Variety was nice, but too much for 2 people. It would be nice if you could indicate what you want on the shelf to prevent food waste.

Very warm, atmospheric place. Child friendly, service is excellent. Enthusiastic and customer-oriented staff with knowledge of their products. Lots of tasty vegetarian and vegan options, highly recommended!

Broken sofa upholstery, croissants that are too soft, boring simple salads, the price-quality ratio for the food is quite poor, because it is not cheap.

Had a lovely lunch with my parents. Service is very friendly. Perfect location to enjoy a drink on a terrace.

Very disappointing place. The breakfast was expensive, tasteless, and almost nothing was in the plate. There is some amazing bakeries around, just gor for one of these instead. This has been the most disappointing place we have been to during our whole stay in the Netherlands..

I took a winter bowl ( a bit of dehydrated salad and some traces of vegetables with a bit of sauce) and a tasteless infusion ( cinnamon, anis..). I think it's a nice spot to have a coffee break and nothing more.

Had a delicious coffee with a delicious pastry. Top!

Very good breakfast Unfortunately you could almost see through the bread. (Very thin) It's a shame because it tasted very good

I regularly have breakfast/lunch at Anne&Max. I walk away with every lesson feeling satisfied. For those who have never been there: highly recommended!

It's a cafe with polite staff and a nice atmosphere. I'll come again, just I don't think I'll eat the chocolate-caramel cake again. It didn't quite suit my taste.

Ordered via the QR code... 15 minutes later nothing and it wasn't even that busy. When I looked around, an employee looked at me questioningly. I decided to wait a little longer and then she came to me. Or “coffee x from table y was my order?”. Well, I'm sitting at table y, so yes? Then she went to see why the order was still there. Well, okay. Thank you for doing that then? 10 minutes later I got a drink that didn't even resemble what I ordered. It wasn't bad, not that, quite tasty. But it was missing the syrup mentioned with the coffee and it contained a random cookie that didn't even resemble the cookie crumbs in the photo. Now I didn't feel like complaining and at this point I just wanted to go home, but it was extremely disappointing. Not worth the money at all. :/

Very noisy and packed. Silly plates, mostly sandwiches and cakes, no real hefty dishes.

Cozy terrace Nice big capuchino

Delicious food and drinks, super nice service, with a terrace where you can sit in the sun when the weather is nice.

October 3 is always good in Leiden

The coffee is really delicious.....the service is also great And the location is also very cozy

nice food, not a great fan of the qr/app ordering and it will sometimes not get out thru... Personel is nice tho!

Nice place to work while enjoying good coffee!

We no longer serve normal food and order via an app...

Fantastically located at the nicest intersection of Leiden with the tastiest espresso in the key city - fantastic aroma, with lots of fresh fruit. The Annen and Maxen have a warm eye for their guests. Highly recommended!

Anne&Max café was a major disappointment and is one of the reasons why we don’t bother eating out in the Netherlands. The food was shockingly overpriced for what we received—bland, uninspired dishes that felt like they were prepared with minimal effort. I was hoping for a pleasant café experience, but instead, we were served meals that lacked flavor, creativity, and any sense of value. It's frustrating to spend good money on food that doesn't even come close to what you could make at home. Unfortunately, Anne&Max is a perfect example of why dining out in this country is often not worth it. I ordered the Dream croissant and paid 10 euros. What came is a small croissant, so small it for on a 150 diameter side plate. The scrambled eggs had no seasoning and it the smoked salmon were just flakes. On top of that there was ketchup on the croissant. I wish I had taken a photo. Don’t go there go to Mamie Gourmand just down the street and get two authentically French croissants and a coffee to go and sit on the bench along the canal.

I have been visiting Anne & Max in Leiden for years. This time I took out my laptop and was told that I can only use the laptop from a stool at one of the bars. I am in my late 60s and told them that I can't use the stool due to a bad back. I was told that this time only I could use the laptop at a low table. You have just made a policy that harms older people.

Nice indoor deco and friendly stuff. The ice cappuccino was very delicious!

Coffee is fine. You order via a QR code and pay at the counter. We ordered an entree, which was simple but tasty.

Great coffee and banana cake outside on the terrace, just steps from the great Saturday market on the canals. Great coffee, cake very dry, you didn't have to pay for it!

Nice place. As with every Anne&Max, delicious fresh food. And a pleasant 'cosy' atmosphere. At the Mall you can choose sizes of coffee and brown or white bread, but you don't have this here. So that was less. We were very late in the afternoon, so that must be the reason.

Nice to sit down with a newspaper and a cup of coffee. Lovely people in the service.

Nice place to have a cup of coffee and a pastry in the sun.

The coffee was good, but they brought half of our order. We went to tell them multiple times a coffee was missing. After 40 minutes I got my flat white with some apologies. I had high expectations and it was such a disappointment

The food was good, nothing spectacular. The staff were very friendly and the food was served quickly. QR code to order.

Great place for breakfast or lunch. Dishes are well prepared and delicious. The service sometimes took a while, but was very friendly.

Super nice people, tasty food and good choices if you have dietary requirements.

We got the Apple cake, scones and coffee. This review is not about the food. The menu was adjusted for the Marathon. My partner got a half of biscuit with her Latte. The “ijscappuccino” was a disaster. What I think a small glass of fridge coffee. Or change the name. The rest of the order was okay. The view of the participants was perfect.

Food was way overpriced and disappointing for what you got. Drink coffee and leave it at that.

Old bread in a sandwich... an not fresh slice of orange was put in the tea .. 15 € please 🥲

Way, way too expensive for what you get. Mediocre lukewarm coffee for 4.50 is really not ok.

Nice cozy restaurant. Good service with friendly staff.

Had a delicious breakfast to share. More than enough and nice and varied. Friendly staff, we will come back this summer to sit on the terrace!

When you enter you are not greeted and staff shuffle around with their eyes on the floor, unlike other places in Leiden they all speak Dutch but otherwise they are unsuitable. You have to order via the app, but what was in there did not match the menu on the table. When we started asking how and what, a more experienced person came along, but we got a big mouth... we were last there a year ago, we thought we would give them another chance, but we are now really done with this tent.

Reasonable. It was pleasantly busy, nice decor and nice building. Dishes from the previous guests were still on the table. As I often read in the reviews, the bread with the vegetarian omelette and sandwich is indeed an ordinary slice of supermarket bread. The children liked the sandwich. Scone was really small and dry, and the clotted cream and lemon curd were not that exciting. Service did not come by after serving. Ok, but could be better, especially for the price.

Nice coffee and lunch. Furthermore, the staff is hospitable and pleasant. There are plenty of options if you are vegetarian, vegan or have an allergy.

Good spot for a short stopover. Its fresh juices are amazing. The soup we ate very tasty but small portion. Courteous service.😊

Cozy space, friendly service. So far we've only had a few drinks here and we've enjoyed it very much. Beautiful view in the heart of Leiden.

Handy location with great views over the canal and for people watching. Genuine and spontaneous staff and the best chai latte I've ever had. They also have incredibly tasty banana bread and good toasted sandwiches

The quality of the food was really disappointing for the price. Two normal slices of bread (not toasted), slices of chicken fillet, tomato, a little bit of arugula and curry mayonnaise. And a bowl of chips. Before 2.50 pm. Everything from a bag, but then stacked, has nothing to do with fresh food, especially for such a price! The service was excellent by the way.

Keep coming there because of the nice place. The food is often tasty, but could be better (especially for their prices 😮‍💨). The service is always really bad unfortunately, you often have to wait so long that you just walk to the counter. The toilets are always pretty gross too. Furthermore, a nice place with nice coffee :)

Lunch platter for two was more filling than expected. Definitely recommend! 😁

Last week I had lunch with Anne and Max. This was very tasty, we ordered the lunch plank. The shelf was well stocked and it was indicated that we could always order extra bread, etc. free of charge. Staff was also very nice.

Had to wait a very long time for a much too expensive focaccia. It was cold and chewy.

Never had such a bad Matcha Latte before. The dosage of the Matcha was extremely strong, no latte art and there were large lumps of Matcha powder in it. I had filed a complaint, but there was no real response. It's that I was in a hurry so I couldn't return it, but I will never come back here again. How bad! A world of difference with the branch in Utrecht, at least they provide good service there. For the service, the branch in Leiden is really not worth the price you pay.

Not a fan! You pay too much for what you get and I think that's a shame. Coffee and tea have little taste, and I found the service mediocre. Plates from the previous one were just left on the table, delivering uneven dishes. No, not again

Ordered Sloppy Joe, which had too much cheese and hardly any minced meat with tomato sauce and lentils. Sandwich also does not match the picture online, which mentions rich instead of sparing sauce? I really feel ripped off for the price. Too bad, because I have enjoyed having breakfast there in the past in Amsterdam. They will never see me here again.

I always like coming to Anne & Max because of the nice menu with special teas, tasty juices and other funny drinks such as the 'today-I'm-staying-in-choco'. Today we came for lunch with six people. Because we had something to celebrate, almost the entire table opted for the extensive lunch platter at €18.50 per person, but unfortunately I found this very disappointing. The 'focaccia cheese stick' is a thin strip of dry focaccia and the 'different types of bread' was half a white sandwich and half a brown sandwich per person. And not that thick, freshly baked special bread, but it just looked like a slice from the supermarket. I think one sandwich per person is very poor for such an expensive lunch platter. The soup was tasty but very little, and in terms of toppings you really got a tiny slice of cheese and chicken fillet, and two very small bowls of 'dips' that were honestly just not tasty. The salad was a small bowl filled mainly with arugula and spinach, three tomatoes and a scoop of julienne beets, which we had to share with three people. You were given the choice between 'scrambled egg bacon' and 'scrambled egg salmon', but strangely enough the salmon was served without the scrambled eggs: you only got a bowl with a tablespoon of salmon. All in all, it was not the festive, special lunch we were hoping for for this price and we were still hungry afterwards. It also took a long time for our lunch to arrive, but I can imagine that because there were six of us. Furthermore, the acoustics in the room were not good and it was difficult to hear each other. The staff was otherwise friendly, but I don't think I'll be coming back here for lunch anytime soon :(.

Nice place to drink a good cup of coffee with a nice piece of cake (or "gebak").

Friendly staff, wonderful place to relax with a cup of coffee or a delicious lunch

Nice place to sit, but others know that it is always very busy

Nice meal. A small problem with a dish was immediately resolved with a free drink, even though we didn't have to. Very nice!

Very good breakfast and service

I celebrated my birthday here with high tea. I have quite a few allergies and a difficult diet. The staff was very helpful and the food was delicious! Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. I will definitely come back 😊

Vrij chaotische bediening. Waarschijnlijk veel studenten. Je moet vooral lang met een vragend gezicht om je heen kijken om bediend te worden. Daarna duurt het erg lang om een simpel kopje koffie te krijgen. Dit was niet de eerste keer dat mij dit overkwam. De zaak mist leiding Jammer want de zaak heeft wel een leuke sfeer.

Espresso was te koud, zagen dat deze al even klaar stond maar niet werd gebracht. We wezen hierop maar er werd geen nieuwe gebracht. Mocht hij te koud zijn dan moesten we dit maar melden....

Gezellige sfeer. Gezinnen met kinderen vanwege de optocht van sinterklass daardoor super druk. Vriendelijk bediening. Lekker eten. Vlakbij de markt met uitzicht op de kraampjes.

Super lekker bakkie koffie Kurkuma. Sfeer is heel chill.

Bediening neemt vuile kopjes van vorige gasten niet mee. Eerst kwam club sandwich, kwartier later de thee. De sandwich zag er niet uit, was wel goed van smaak. Meubels zijn afgeragd en overal troep op de grond

Veel personeel maar slechte service. Alles gaat langzaam en duurt lang. Ze zijn vriendelijk maar het schiet gewoon niet zo op. Ik vond de club wel erg lekker en op lekker brood!

Op een zatermiddag lekker aan de borrel bij Anne en Max. Al het eten wordt gebracht, behalve 1, ze 'zoeken' de ingrediënten, maar hebben ze niet. Tjonge wat een deceptie. Je betaalt 6 euro voor 1 glas wijn en je gaat ook no weg zonder je eten. Bedankt. Hier komen we niet meer terug.

It takes 10 mins to waitresses to see you and another 10-15 minutes to get your coffee in the weekend. I have been trying different days and times in the weekend, but it looks like they also don't have a good barista. No latte art, not so good coffee, but it's the only cafe in the city that doesn't charge you extra for plantbased milk.

Wifi is super bad - it’s important since the place has a sign in front that welcomes studying and working. Drinks were ✅

De koffie was niet geweldig en het eten was....ok. Het zag er lekker uit, maar voor ontbijt zou ik het fijn hebben gevonden als je een gewone omelet kan bestellen met iets, bacon, zalm of iets dergelijks. Superaardige bediening, dat dan weer wel.

Great food and plenty of it. Lovely shared breakfast platter.

I love the menu idea but it's a little off we ordered the vegan lunch for 2 soup is super yummy, but the salad could have had dressing and the tofu brand they use is incredibly salty ( as a vegan I really recommend you use a different brand it will make all your tofu dishes so much better) Or serve at least tap water with each meal that really elevates the experience. Servers where lovely and bathrooms clean

Excelente lugar para trabajar, con comida muy rica. Me encanto la vista que se tiene a la locura del tráfico de bicis es interesante mirar un poco mientras se trabaja. La amabilidad y la sonrisa está en todos los empleados 😊😌

De lunch was erg lekker en was goed verzorgd. Koffie was te slap, geen aanrader. Bediening was redelijk, duurde lang en waren vergeten drinken te brengen.

A family friendly cafe. The food and coffee is ok. Pictured is the ‘planet friendly start’ a vegan egg salad made of tofu and cauliflower with two slices of bread- one with a pea spread and another romesco. The egg salad is as close as a vegan dish can get to eggs., however the bread slices are tough and unseasoned. It may be better toasted. The service is good as long as the cafe is not busy. Once it gets busy, the service gets sloppy and forgetful. The plus point is that they accommodate the needs of kids.

Even gezellig de markt beginnen met een goede cappucino

Vieze toiletten en ongeconcentreerd personeel.

Very friendly cafe, with great coffee and excellent apple pie

Eten is hooguit OK qua smaak, hoeveelheid en prijs. Drinken is prima. De bediening is vriendelijk, maar het duurt allemaal erg lang. Drinken besteld voor het eten, maar we ontvingen onze drankjes nadat het eten op was. Dit terwijl het een rustige zondagmiddag was. Rustige sfeer op een mooi plekje.

Frühstück war gut. Nicht sehr gut, aber gut.

Nette Bedienung, gute Zusammenarbeit der Mannschaft. Mittagsvariationen für 2 waren mit Suppe, Brot, verschiedenen Belägen und einem tollen Saft sehr lecker. Brot wurde nachgelegt.

Very comfy atmosphere for the mornings and for studying in the café. The chai latte was good but the açai bowl wasn't great. The smoothie part of it was way too liquidy and the ratio between smoothie and the other food components was too uneven for my liking.

We dronken koffie op het terras vlak voor de 1/2 marathon begon. Heel veel mensen, maar het personeel was en bleef zeer gastvrij. Complimenten!

Wonderful cafe with many gluten free options. Light, airy, quiet, even at a busy times. Lots of tasty treats await your taste buds in a location that is very central too

Very nice place for the breakfast, lunch, borel.

Fijne zaak en herkenbaar concept.

Great spot for people watching while enjoying a nice coffee with treats 🤗

Alleen iets gedronken want de keuken was al dicht en wat we wilden bestellen was allemaal op.

Our fav to go in Leiden, casual and cosy

Perfectly ok food, coffee was alright and ambience was good. Nothing extraordinary about this place however and while the service was perfectly fine, it was a little slow and disjointed alas.
