Bakery&lunch Cafe Mensink in Van Lennepbuurt

Delicious sandwiches and the cafe has recently been renovated, very nice atmosphere

A warm welcome from very friendly staff! Very helpful, and the sandwiches were delicious. Just what we needed after a long day of moving.

Thank you very much to the chef for a warm accueil and great food!

The food is a 10/10. All the ingredients are fresh, and you can watch it being prepared. The staff is very friendly. Highly recommended.

Fabulous friendly staff and super speedy service!

It's a very pleasant place to be, the coffee is exquisite and the service couldn't be better ❤️‍🩹

Sandwich boy making the sandwiches was very sassy for no reason - just make my sandwich bro, if you want to be a big boy get yourself a big boy job

Fantastic! I had jaw surgery. And they still found a solution for me! Really great. And… Amsterdam is turning 750 today! Wonderful!!

Great experience and atmosphere! The sandwiches and the coffee were delicious 🫶🏼

Super nice people and good sandwiches :)

When I went in for a veal sausage roll, it was stone cold. I politely asked to have it warmed up a bit, and 5 minutes later, my sausage roll was brought back to me from the oven at 120° Celsius, with a bite already out, and no cutlery. Good luck with that, what a shame!

Peoples are very nice, cafe good

Great food and very nice staff :)

Freindly service, tasty food, good price!

Really nice, we were here for a weekend and the breakfast was lovely staff were nice and accommodating for kids

Terrible expensive coffee. Don’t get tricked by the Italian coffee machine, they don’t use it, it’s a lure.

Food was so fresh, sandwich’s were delicious and bread was perfect, crunchy and soft

Dubious business, dubious way of responding to reviews, be warned

At checkout, the medium coffees we'd ordered, which should have cost €2.95 each according to their menu, were actually billed at €4.50 each. I saw that amount flash by twice (everything was quickly typed in manually on the cash register) and knew we hadn't ordered anything for €4.50, but it could only have been for our coffees because the rest hadn't been ordered in duplicate. I immediately asked what he was charging for the coffees. He said: "large coffees." When I said we'd ordered medium coffees, the response was: "Yes, that's large for us." Huh? Then why do you put a medium and a large coffee on your menu? A large coffee doesn't cost €4.50 at all according to your menu, so I don't understand it. However, it turned out we overpaid not only for the coffees but also for other things, because the total was a full €4 higher than it should have been, which only became clear after checking the bill. So, it was just 10% of the total bill. Apparently, they're charging random amounts that don't match the prices on the menu at all. You don't get a receipt, so there's nothing to check. A fun way to make money. Update after comment: Excuse me?! We didn't have any oat milk; we don't drink it at all. You're confusing us with other guests; what a disgrace. We had black coffee and sandwiches and enjoyed a leisurely lunch with our child. Good luck with your business.

The lunch was okay, the location was fine, but the coffee was absolutely awful. However, after calculating the cost, it turns out we overpaid by a whopping six euros. We also never received a receipt.

A Warning About Fake Reviews and Overcharging Potential customers should be aware that this establishment appears to use fake reviews, as many 5-star ratings are from bot accounts with only one review. My personal experience was sadly abysmal. The coffee is terrible, and we were grossly overcharged for it €4.50 for a medium black coffee that is advertised on the menu for €2.95. Upon checking the menus later, we discovered that we had been overcharged by more than 10% for our entire okayish lunch, including these subpar coffees. I cannot recommend this place.

Needed a quick bite on the run and the bltc sandwich here was perfect, will definitely be back and would recommend to a friend!

The perfect breakfast, the "Large Breakfast," an excellent bacon omelet in a sandwich fresh from the oven. Fresh orange juice, full of pulp, everything you could want! Affordable prices, two really nice waitresses!

You stand there waiting in an antisocial manner and you are simply not helped while only one person was paying and tourists are being ripped off and tourists had to pay more for their coffee than what was on the menu.

Absolutely delicious sandwiches and service was amazing!

Amazing food, was very filling. Staff are so friendly & that atmosphere is great! They play nice music whilst you eat. Will definitely be back

By far the best breakfast we had in our trip visiting Belgium, France and Netherlands. Both the attendants were so charismatic and the food was impressive!

Café Mensik is a truly cozy café, and the staff are incredibly kind. ☺️We actually wanted to try out a few different cafés, but ended up coming back here, simply because it was so delicious and pleasantly quiet inside, but also great for gazing outside :)

Amazing crunchy kaas croissant, tastes and feels honest this pace

Great, breakfast, lovely staff!! Thanks guys ! ❤️

Tasty breakfast and truly excellent service. Highly recommended 👌🌟

I can only say that this place is truly fantastic. A solid 10. The food and coffee are delicious, and the staff makes it perfect. Super friendly and service-oriented. Thanks, and see you soon!

lovely place, lovely workers and delicious food (: me and my friend are so satisfied

We sat by the window, eating while watching the view.😍 The workers there were super kind and mindful. They have amazing breakfast and lunch there, and they make freshly squeezed orange juice 🍊🌞100% recomend!

Delicious food and great staff, and the view outside gives super amsterdam vibes. Love it 💜

I had an amazing time eating here ❤️ the food and dessert was delicious!

Delicious brownie and juice!! Very nice people working there

Very tasty and very nice people!!

Good selection of sandwiches and a very friendly staff! Casual atmosphere, good for solo traveler or small groups 👍

Actually the food was very tasty and the prices are reasonable. But for me as a customer the service is also super important. The way the staff treated the customers was very bad unfortunately.

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had and for 10€ definitely worth it

Came here multiple times for breakfast during our trip in Amsterdam. Very good sandwiches and friendly staff.

Very bad business you order something and then suddenly they say they don't have it anymore while it was just there People are also very rude and the woman behind the counter is also not customer friendly

Ridiculously overpriced l, 3,75€ for two sips of orange juice

Price performance ratio is good compared the other places in Amsterdam

Lovely cafe with a family-run feel! Came in this morning as a place across the street was gonna take 45+min to get us a bite. We sat down here at Mensink and got amazing sandwiches (with reasonable prices) in few min! Everyone was so kind! Will be back :)

The most important thing that I loved about this place was cleanliness! The area that they prepare the food is visible and was so clean and there was no sign of burnt oil smell:) although the cashier wasn't so friendly, the rest was great^^

Very disappointing. It was always a nice location but today I was helped badly. You enter and the staff is sitting with earphones in, talking on the phone. They don't look at you at all, unless you stare at them or walk over to them. Too bad!

A great breakfast option near the hotel we stayed at. Varied menu, excellent food, and exceptional service.

Me and my friends came here for part of our interrailing trip and had such a lovely experience. The staff were very friendly especially peter he was my favourite he gave excellent service!! Will be going again.

Very reasonably priced brunch (around €15 for 1 drink and 1-2 dishes) Absolutely lovely staff Fresh and lively Great for families

Do not buy orange juice here. Its just water with orange flavour. The color of it it's weird too. For sure it's not fresh...And all this for 3.75€ !!! Ridiculous. Too bad i can't post pictures of it.

Best croissant in Amsterdam? Mensink! Flaky, buttery and fresh from the oven. Delicious with coffee or as a quick breakfast. Friendly atmosphere, top address on the Kinkerstraat. Don't miss it!

Super nice and soooo delicious bakeries!

Exquisite coffee, and delicious carrot cake. Nice corner full of people and movement

Ideal cafeteria for breakfast. Very nice.

We had Chicken Pesto and Chicken Avocado. Both were 7.25€ each and simply amazing. Wish I could stay one more day in Amsterdam to only have brunch here.

The best breakfast café I've been to in a long time, and the prices are great. There are so many options that I could hardly decide and wanted to order the entire menu. The Old Beemster sandwich came with high-quality ingredients, plenty of Old Amsterdam cheese (they don't skimp on it), and it tasted amazing! I also ordered an omelet, not knowing it came with bread. Afterward, I was so full that I couldn't eat any more, even though I would have loved to try more of these delicacies. The service was also very friendly and quick!

Delicious sandwiches and one of my favorite places to get a latte😇

Ignore cheese croissants and sausage rolls. In that respect: little bakery and craft, a lot of bakery of cheap factory products. Friendly people, by the way, but you don't eat them.

Coziest place on Kinkerstraat, top staff, delicious sandwiches at Amsterdam's best

Sandwich is good, but coffee is terrible 😫. If you want coffee, do not try this place

Very cozy bakery with delicious hot and cold sandwiches

Delicious food! And the service is excellent. The club sandwich is highly recommended! 👌🏼

Cozy atmosphere and nice staff. Nice lunch. Unfortunately, only the chocolate croissant was disappointing. Otherwise great

That was the best coffee in my life ❤️ made with love 🫶

Very sweet lady and gentleman! Gave good advice about what is possible and what they recommend in terms of cake. Very nice atmosphere and locals who will happily start a conversation with you. The only disadvantage for me personally is the offer of Latiz instead of regular milk. Tastes really different, but understand the choice that they work with this and is not a stumbling block for many people. Definitely recommended!

What a delightful way to start the day! Bakery Cafe Mensink exceeded all expectations with its warm and welcoming atmosphere. The service was absolutely splendid—attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring. Every detail, from the beautifully presented pastries to the perfectly brewed coffee, made for an exceptional breakfast experience. It’s clear that this café takes great pride in both its food and hospitality. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful morning moment or a great spot to enjoy fresh baked goods, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

We came here for breakfast, and it was an excellent experience. The place is really cozy and offers a wide variety of options, including halal and vegetarian choices. The coffee is simply delicious, rich in flavor and expertly made, and the latte comes in a generously sized cup. The sandwiches are fresh, well-filled, and made with high-quality ingredients, making them even more enjoyable. The atmosphere is perfect for breakfast, whether you’re alone or with company. The warm and inviting ambiance is further enhanced by the relaxing pop-soul music playing in the background. Without a doubt, this is a place we’ll be coming back to. Highly recommended!

Always tasty sandwiches, nice atmosphere and very friendly staff, definitely recommended!

Always great food and staff are top notch

Everything was delicious. The atmosphere is really cozy, and the staff is very welcoming. 🤗

You can get delicious fresh bread at Mensink and I recommend it to everyone 😊 Last year I even got croissants and bread for free, probably left over, but it was still fresh❤️

Friendly service, tasty sandwiches

Muy bonito sandwich y encantador “Panini” Me encanta este lugar, también un personal amable y propietario encantador. Recomiendo encarecidamente! Gracias 🙏🏻

No idea why they have such a fairly high rating, atmosphere is oppressive, service slow, food nothing special. Special reaction also from the owner: I can't do anything with it, but I will still give some advice to the reviewer. 😅 In return: accept the review and focus on the positive reviews. We're not going to give each other any more chances.

Super delicious pastrami sandwiches and friendly atmosphere ❤️

We just had a lovely lunch here. Everything was delicious and staff were amazing. Definitely come back

Cozy place with good food and drinks. Friendly staff
