BackWerk in Centrum

Good and reasonably cheap sandwiches, coffee is good, friendly staff, clean place

Very pleasant for lunch. They will heat your sandwiches. Bright and cheery.

Great value for money, delicious bread, comfortable seating, it's a chain store. Self-service. Savory breads are more expensive than sweet breads. I think the apple bread is the best. A must-try. The price is very reasonable. The picture shows mushroom soup.

It's perfectly fine to just grab a sandwich.

We had a delicious meal; they have tasty sandwiches and snacks.

Tasty, simple, and very friendly. Would definitely come here again for a quick lunch.

Excellent value for money. Delicious!

Delicious sandwiches and affordable too😍

Delicious snack sandwiches self-service

Had lunch yesterday with delicious fresh rolls and coffee. If you're looking for a great sandwich at a reasonable price for under 5 euros, go ahead and eat here! Delicious and affordable, but self-service and no cutlery. Friendly staff at the counter, and they'll happily cut your sandwich into bite-sized pieces upon request. A must!

About an hour and fifteen minutes before closing, some fresh drinks were gone. The fresh orange juice too. They didn't want to make a new one. So customer-friendly. Too bad. Atmosphere good. Sandwiches pleasant.

What a cool place for breakfast and a snack time. Variety of pastries and sandwiches with drinks. We dine in twice here. Everything is fresh and tasty. Especially thanks for free toilet for customers. Also free wifi was very helpful. Thank you

Clean place. Delicious sandwiches. Friendly staff. We were there around lunchtime, and they were working hard to replenish the sandwiches. Clean restrooms. Good value for money.

Delicious food and fresh drinks!

I have known this excellent concept for years, which can be found in almost every major city in Germany. In the Netherlands, we can also get to know a slightly modified concept. In Alkmaar, we enjoyed delicious sandwiches that were also very affordable. They were also very customer-friendly.

Tasty sandwiches and friendly staff

Tasty and good price good service

The store is clean and bright Affordable meals The quality is also good Staff service is polite and fast

Friendly staff who are happy to help you or provide something extra if the desired option is not available. Price to quality ratio very good

Tasty sandwiches. Only large cappacinos available. Don't sit by the window, there is a lot of noise from the orange machine. Very disturbing when you are talking.

Affordable eating near town center pastries,drinks etc

Compliments on the nice girl in the kassa (9/2/25 15:30)! Very polite and professional

Delicious fresh sandwiches, good price-quality ratio

Was there for the first time but definitely worth repeating.

Easy accessibel place for reasonable priced snacks. My favorite is their mushroom soup with egg and bacon Sandwich . Simple and filling. Other pastries are nice too. I keep on visiting them whenever I’m in the centrum. my husband loves their brownies but I guess they recently discontinued (I couldn’t get them every time I visited them in Alkmaar )

Clean shop, very friendly staff, pleasant stay 🥰

Good coffee with something tasty

Class! Baked goods in Germany are absolute crap - here, there is no comparison! Delicious food and drinks and the prices are fair. Definitely recommended 👍🏻

Even een broodje eten, met koffie en thee. Het ziet er open en modern uit, maar je schuift 'gewoon' met een dienblad langs de broodjes. Pakken en betalen. Er was niet veel meer, dus twee Mexicaanse broodjes genomen. Bediening heel vriendelijk, wilde het broodje wel warmmaken. Dat ging in de magnetron waardoor het brood zacht werd. Er was ook geen bestek!! De aardige bediening kon de broodjes bij de kassa nog wel in 2en snijden. Dat maar niet gedaan. Het management heeft op het hoofdkantoor nog heel wat te vergaderen over praktische zaken binnen de winkels. Op zich vind ik de naam wel goed, laat de rest dat ook zijn.

You can certainly sit comfortably here...

Very delicious food, easy self service and a friendly vibe. The portion sizes are generous enough to fill you up and the sweet pastries are also very good. Nice clean bathroom.

Few options for people with dietary requirements or allergies. Staff was very friendly and service was good. Nice atmosphere, clean, beautiful place. Have a nice seat!

Delicious and healthy breakfast There is soup Enjoyable atmosphere at lunchtime

Good food. Not very friendly staff

The wonderful hygienic food, pleasant and polite staff! The owner is very receptive! I recommend it....

Easy, inexpensive, fresh meal. If you are in the area this is an easy grab and go or sit and eat meal. I got the Mexican hot chicken sandwich. It was fresh and quite satisfying. Lots of fresh options.

What a great place, very clean and super delicious!

Nicely located in downtown Alkmaar. You can sit very comfortably inside in the air-conditioned room. There are also a few tables and chairs in front of the entrance, although they are not on a flat surface. You can have freshly squeezed juices made. There were 2 different soups to choose from, sandwiches, hot dogs, etc. Everything was very clean. We'd love to come back.

A tasty sandwich, wide choice. And it's nice that there is also a wide choice of vegetarian and vegan...

Super tasty sandwich, convenient service and nice employee

Very cozy and very convenient for a quick snack in the perfect location after a on day of shopping

Delicious sandwiches, and for a reasonable price.

To drink a cappuccino and a vanilla sauce quickly and cheaply for €3, ok

A lunchroom for a quick bite, but with delicious and well-filled sandwiches, soup and drinks. Very good price/quality ratio.

Soups are always delicious, just like sandwiches 😋 My favorite lunch spot in Alkmaar! Always fresh, there are many types of delicious sandwiches and snacks. The atmosphere is nice and the service is always fast. Great 🙌🏼

Coffee tastes burnt, the mushroom soup is too weak and takes a little getting used to. All in all a bit too expensive and too small a selection.

You can get a delicious lunch here! I come here very often and it never disappoints. also really reasonably priced. For 2 well-filled sandwiches and 2 large smoothies you pay less than 16 euros (I think it is even less than that)

Delicious sandwiches, fresh and well prepared for a good price.

Delicious coffee and sandwiches, always fresh or freshly made for you. Tip: Stamp card for coffee if you come often 🤗

Relaxed atmosphere with 1st class products for a reasonable price.

Nice employees. Tasty food and drinks.

Staff needs guidance, it's nice to have all young people together. But no one cleans anything. Coffee was delicious and affordable, but the tables and trays are not cleaned. This was a one-off for us. Source of bacteria.

I wanted to pay for my sandwiches, it went wrong, they put extra sandwiches on the receipt and then the owner's name is Jaquline, she said that I came every Saturday and had sandwiches from her, but I was in her store for the first time and she thought I looked like someone, so false accusation and rude next to my wife and children, I was spoken to, everything was because I indicated that they had taken extra bread and that I wanted my money back, very bad and rude that they still give you, you look like an owner, you should Do I think they are customer friendly or not?

Delicious sandwiches, lots of choice... good price

I have already noted that the food always is cold, the owner of Back Werk replied, order and they will warm it up. The problem is that your dear colleagues always have an excuse not to heat up the food.😒

Bins of sandwiches were almost empty at 2 pm on Saturday. Delicious coffee, friendly service and tasty sandwiches. Recommended.

I have eaten here many times, but every time they have a new rule, one time they heat the round bread and the other time they say that we are only allowed to heat the baguette, and every time they avoid heating the sandwich and we have to eat the food cold 🥶 And the funniest thing is that they carry the sandwiches to the dining room with gloves, to show that they are very hygienic, If the place where the sandwiches are placed is available to everyone and usually everyone coughs or sneezes directly on the sandwiches and there is no cover.🤒 I don't recommend it to anyone.

Great cappuccino and baked goods 👍 ...keep it up 👏

Good and fresh baked goods. The prices are completely okay. The atmosphere is good and the employees are friendly. People like to go there.

Fresh, excellent and friendly staff, affordable

Delicious sandwiches that are prepared for you on the spot if they are not ready yet. Price/quality ratio is good. Staff is friendly and helpful. It can be a bit noisy at the front of the store when they are busy making smoothies

Good, fresh products. Was there early in the morning Still quiet there You can also sit outside.

What a negative review I read below! Don't recognize this at all! The staff is always very friendly and if you ask for something that is no longer on the shelf, they will be happy to make it for you. We come here often and also have the savings card for free coffee or tea. We love !

Very neat and clean lunchroom. A little more variety in sandwiches is desirable. You can also quickly pass by the soup at the front...

Cozy tent. Affordable and everything nice and fresh

Price-performance ratio unbeatable. Baguettes taste excellent and are really well topped. The pretzels are crispy and fresh.

Ideal for a short break and a delicious snack or a freshly squeezed juice. Price ok. Comfortable seating options.

Kreeg een geïrriteerde houding van de medewerkster nadat ik aangaf dat het broodje niet in orde was. Vervolgens een grote mond en geen oplossing. Rare vrouw

Strange saleswoman Alkmaar. After I indicated that the sandwich was missing bacon, she was annoyed and convinced that that was not the case. Sandwich just wasn't right and got it back with three extra pieces of bacon I paid for it. Then I expect you to get what you want. and not a big mouth. I told her that I don't like her tone and that she can keep the sandwich.

Nice staff and tasty sandwiches and drinks

Nice place to stop & have a light eat & coffee

A delicious sandwich for a quick snack. Wide choice, tasty and reasonably priced.

Very tasty product’s. I love this place

Delicious sandwiches, great staff, a great place

Absolutely delicious food! I havent had sandwiches that good in ever! Seriously. The staff is also super nice and tidy. Would go again, 10/10.

Delicious baguettes, soups and coffee, good seating, inexpensive, would be recommended again

Great coffee, sausage roll. Friendly staff. Real prices.

Delicious sandwiches... very wide choice

Visited for the first time on Friday afternoon, 2023/04/22; we ordered tomato soup; the soup was rich and the bread and egg burgers were there. We took a short rest here before continuing our day trip to Alkmaar.

I'm a fan of BackWerk... nice concept. The choice of products is also more than sufficient. And the quality is also excellent.

Good selection on the first day, but the full range was not yet available on Easter Tuesday. Fresh orange juice was delicious. Coffee good 😊

The atmosphere is great and the staff is friendly. The snack we chose was super tasty.

The owner came to tell his story after reading the message below. Normally these are cold sandwiches, he said. Perhaps the message from his staff was not received properly 🤷🏼. I think communication within a team is very important. I like coming to backwerk and want to keep it that way. I appreciate the owner's initiative to discuss it. So maybe until next time. You ask for a white sandwich with egg. Yes, that is possible, but just wait 10 minutes. Then it's done, says the girl. Okay. We are waiting. After 10 minutes we get another sandwich with COLD fried egg. How is it possible? The colleagues are laughing among themselves, which comes across as VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. Just because I ask for a hot egg. I think this is really bad service. My sandwich is warmed up with effort and resistance. Truly unbelievably UNPROFESSIONAL!!!!!

We order a warm round bread with egg, like old times. Weren't there. They arrive with an egg salad sandwich. I say, no, I didn't order that. Want a round loaf with egg on it WARM. They arrive with the attached package, see photo, also still cold. There is no listening at all. You don't feel appreciated as a customer, and then you are also laughed at. IT COULD BE WORSE. SO NOT NICE. WHAT A BAD EXPERIENCE After 10 minutes the owner came to give his explanation. Although we as customers do not feel completely understood, we accept it. So you see again that communication IS VERY IMPORTANT. Everything depends on that. Still, I appreciate his attempt to make things right.

Great location highly recommended

Getting more and more expensive. I understand that prices have increased somewhat. But I don't think the kind of death eaters who "lived under a rock" fit. 2 very customer unfriendly. Anyway, if this is customer policy, fine. Then we go one door further for a coffee, sandwich or a soft drink.

For the price, more toppings can be added to the sandwich! A compliment to the staff

Always fresh sandwiches and something for everyone. Always well attended, so it is often difficult to get a free table.

Enjoyed the falafel sandwich and mushroom soup. Unfortunately the mushrooms had flown over it. So I would like to have more mushrooms in the soup in the future.

Great place for a coffee or a sandwich

Great selection. Very delicious

Great lunch spot with nice prices

Delicious sandwiches and drinks! Sometimes I wish there were more options regarding... allergies, I am lactose intolerant myself and I feel like I can only choose from 2 things and then I have to be lucky that those sandwiches are still there. Furthermore, it is a pleasant place to eat!

Affordable food & drink opportunity! 👍

We had a delicious lunch there! Everything was available. Price-Quality Toppie. Highly recommended.😋

Nice sandwich shop. I understand the concept but miss the cutlery.

Fine, very tasty sandwiches, acceptable Espresso (!) just no espresso cups, they answer that there are cups, that's right, throw away the papers... I would like to see stone cups, especially with such a good espresso...

Allergies are not taken seriously here, I indicate that I cannot tolerate orange, which is not in the muffins according to the saleswoman. Bought a muffin, 1 bite, stomach ache all day and a clear taste of orange. I will go back a few days later to discuss it with the branch manager. No understanding or listening ear, according to him it only contains citrus fruit and that could not be an orange. Google: The orange is the fruit of the orange tree, which belongs to the Citrus genus It's a shame that as a customer you are not heard and there is no point in asking what the ingredients are if you have allergies.

Super tasty sandwiches. Very clean premises and after we sat down we saw that everything was freshly prepared in the shop. The prices are also great compared to a bakery in Germany. My barbecue baguette and the tuna baguette were very tasty. Clean restaurant with freshly prepared bread rolls and nice staff = 5 stars+

Nice place to have a quick sit down and not too expensive. It would be nice if there were more vegetarian, preferably vegan, options. Oh yes, whole wheat and spelled bread on time would also be a plus!
