Benji's in Weesperzijde

Love this place. Best breakfast in Amsterdam! Every time I'm in the neighbourhood I must go there. Love their coffee. The service was always kind and with a smile. It's just above a metro station so it's worth the travel.

Benji’s in Amsterdam is a nice little spot with a cool vibe, but honestly not really worth all the hype. I ordered a matcha and the egg brioche sandwich. The food was ok, nothing bad but also nothing that really stood out. I ended up walking 45 minutes to get there, which made it feel a bit underwhelming in the end. That being said, if you’re in the neighborhood it’s definitely worth checking out once. The place has a nice atmosphere and it seems like a good hangout spot, especially if you live close by. But if you’re planning to travel far just for it, I’d probably say skip it ; there are plenty of other cafés in Amsterdam that are just as good if not better.

Good spot for breakfast/brunch. I got the ceaser toast, found the bread to be rock solid and no butter, chicken was pre cooked a heated up lewkwarm. Dish looked great but lacked in flavour and taste. Fresh orange juice was great and staff were lovely

I went today at noon and ordered the guacamole and egg toast and a cappuccino. Everything was spectacular, as was the attention of the tall waiter who served me. I just wanted to say that I'm an Argentinian in love with a Dutchman, haha. Whenever I want to go to Argentina, I have company for a tour of Buenos Aires.

Bali Cheese Steak from the specials menu was a 10/10 burger. Perfect amount of spice, and extremely flavourful. I considered getting a second one but my stomach declined because it had no space left. Highly Recommend ✅✅

One of the best breakfast restaurants in Amsterdam

One of the best breakfast places in Amsterdam and worth a try.. Taste, quantity, cleanliness and the place is clean and tidy but a bit far from the center

The restaurant has very delicious food. The price is a bit high.

Great place! Very friendly waitress. The French toast is excellent and we recommend the Miso Cesare toast!

I came here for breakfast. The atmosphere was nice and the staff were friendly, but it took quite a long time for our order to be taken and for the food to arrive. The food itself was just okay—not bad, but nothing special.

I had the truffle mushroom scrambled egg. It was tasty though slightly difficult to eat. The place was cute with lovely staff.

You're only allowed into the building/patio after a (long) wait until one of the staff members sees you and comes to the entrance. Multitasking and a warm welcome are difficult. There's also a long wait for further service. It's more pleasant to chat at the coffee corner. The service is also curt. This was Friday, September 5th, around 12-13 PM.

The restaurant ,atmosphere and the staff was awesome and very friendly The food was amazing especially truffle mushroom sandwich just made my day i fully recommend to visit and eat in this branch God bless them all Dr. abdullah from Kuwait ♥️

The food is good and so is the menu, plenty to choose from. However, service is sometimes very slow to the point of leaving the place. I went here more than 10 times in the last 6 months, sometimes service is quick and attentive, sometimes it takes 5 minutes to be seated and after 25 minutes no one has taken our order, even though I have flagged staff multiple times. This very long wait time happened multiple times, every time we chose to leave. This is brunch, it shouldn’t be a gamble and I shouldn’t have to beg staff “please take my money”

Such a great spot, the service was amazing, so thoughtfull and kind. Food was super fresh and the vibe was cosy and calm. Perfect way to start the day! Thank you 🤍

The food was delicious!!! But the service was truly awful. What an arrogant waitress! Absolutely awful. She couldn't crack a smile. And she didn't seem to be in the mood. Not good for a restaurant where the food is excellent.

Liked the food. Unfortunately, no pictures . Got deleted. Had their Eggstraordinary with Mango Matcha I think and Dirty Chai . Lovely ambience, friendly staff but a little impatient I guess but sweet over all and excellent food. Definitely, worth the distance and walk.

It was 3:18 PM when we arrived looking for something to eat, thinking we'd still be able to make it since they didn't close until 4:00 PM. But we were turned away because they were already closing… So I have no idea if the food is good, just that the service is terrible…

Moody waiters with really bad service

Delicious food and great service

Good place for a savory breakfast

Nice atmosphere, good breakfast, the only shame is the wait for service.

Nothing special for a family brunch.

Excellent brunch, nothing to complain about. The staff is quite friendly and the salmon burger bun was really delicious. The croissant seemed a bit expensive for what it was, but that's probably my French side talking. Thank you!

Great orange juice Great Belgian waffles Fantastic smoothies 5 stars 🌟

A very, very delicious breakfast restaurant... filling and with distinctive flavors... The place is large, elegant, clean, spacious and very quiet.

A beautiful, fun, sunny, and large place. The breakfast is amazing, delicious, and worth a try.

We visited this breakfast spot and had a mixed experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which we appreciated. However, we had to wait about 30 minutes for our food, which felt a bit too long given how early it was and that it wasn’t overly crowded. When the food arrived, it tasted good, but the portions were surprisingly small. My child finished their French toast quickly and actually asked for a second breakfast, which is not something that usually happens. Overall, decent food and nice service, but we left feeling a bit hungry and unsure if it was worth the wait.

Went to Benji’s with two friends and had a great time. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Lately I’ve noticed that the more popular spots tend to have higher prices, but I get it, it’s an expensive city. Still, worth it for the quality and the vibe

Everything was delicious. Very young staff.

Found this place on google maps as it was close to our hotel (a 2 min walk). Really great seating arrangement and friendly, helpful staff, especially when it came to allergies. Food and coffee was delicious and I will definitely be back soon.

We liked the food and the atmosphere

We went for brunch on a Friday. Very friendly staff, a pleasant atmosphere, and delicious food. It was a bit noisy; a little investment in soundproofing would be nice; with moderately busy tables, it's difficult to have a conversation at a normal volume. We highly recommend it.

Muy buen servicio al cliente. Tenía el pan de mashedavocado e IT estaba fresco y bien sazonado. El lugar está en una buena ubicación, justo cerca de la estación de metro.

The only negative point is the wait...but it's so good!

Perfect brunch spot! Well executed classics with a twist, good quality ingredients and lovely service! I’ll be back

Het eten is heerlijk, maar wij moesten vrij lang wachten. Het eten was het wachten echter zéker waard. Alles was goed op smaak en vers. Daarnaast is het personeel ook erg vriendelijk en kan je hier gezellig binnen en buiten zitten. Echt een aanrader voor ontbijt of lunch!

Good sandwiches, cozy place and fast service.

I think the service just wasn't in the mood to work today. For a 14-euro double toast, you got a small piece of bread... It's kind of a shame, because the café has so much potential, and the coffee was bland and cold.

The food was very delicious! Good service and vibe.

Food was Super delicious, has great vibes, staff were welcoming, perfect for a brunch

Love it, simple and yummy. I personally really like the avocado toast, service is good the place is beautiful

Food was good, not what I expected based on pics shared. The cook was opening the smoothie bags with his teeth which is very unsanitary. Also if you eat with a group of friends they don’t allow you to split or separate the tab.

I loved this place, after going through multiple places for breakfast, this was one that was clearly above the rest, reservations available, staff was super polite and professional, I cannot wouch for the avocado salmon toast enough, that was amazing. If you happen to pass by, go here. 😊👌🏼

Lovely place for brunch with a good price quality balance. Great cocktails too if you need it for that hangover!

The food was delicious, service was good we were helped right away. And the atmosphere was nice!

No wait Ordered our order 1. Bun Truffle Mushroom 5/5 yummy 2. Croissant 3/5 too much oil 3. Belgian Waffle 4/5 too sweet 4. Cappuccino make sure to order it extra hot then it’ll be perfect they ordered it extra hot 5. Iced Matcha nice 4.5/5 sweet 6. Mango Iced Matcha 3/5 too sweet The staff are all so kind who work there are nice I would come back

The food is so so good, the smoothies are fresh and the service is beyond amazing. They're fast as well, despite how full the place can get. I would happily eat here every day.

There's a wide selection of food. "EGG EXTRA ORDINARY" is my favorite. The staff is very friendly. The atmosphere is great. The prices are reasonable; if you want good food, you'll have to dig a little deeper into your pockets ☺️

The food is delicious, the service is so slow

Avocado toast with 2 eggs sunnyside up. 3 days in a row. Should have taken a picture. Forgot camera 2nd tome in a row. Don't worry, there is nowhere else in Amsterdam as good.

Everything you can order here is sooooo delicious! And the presentation is also beautiful to see! Furthermore, very sweet service, even when it is very busy. Cozy atmosphere!

Nice place for a brunch, the food is really delicious! The choice of each ingredient makes the difference, I was pleased to see that everything is 'homemade', even the burger bun. On the negative side get ready to pay the price of Amsterdam tho! The glass of latte for example was soooo small and expensive for that amount :( hope they will improve it

Lovely staff and food. Very spacious place.

Nice place only the matcha was pure milk and 1 euro extra for syrup that you don't even taste :(

Beautiful space with helpful, friendly staff and a superb brunch sandwich what’s not to love? Perfect if you are staying close by at the Volkshotel like myself

We went there on a Saturday around 12. We only had to wait 5 minutes until we were offered a table inside. The staff was so friendly and forthcoming. Service was quick. We ordered the French toast and the avocado on sourdough bread. Bothe dishes were delicious. I can only recommend stopping by this place when you are in Amsterdam.

Let me tell you something. If you live in Amsterdam and haven’t been to Benji’s yet… what are you even doing with your life?! Seriously, cancel your plans, grab your tote bag, and RUN—not walk—to this slice of brunch paradise. And now. Let’s talk about the queen, the legend, the one and only… Sara. WITHOUT AN H. That’s right—because she doesn’t need an H to be an absolute icon. This woman isn’t just a waitress. She’s a culinary fairy godmother, a brunch sorceress, a beam of radiant human sunshine with the speed of a Formula 1 pit crew and the comic timing of a Netflix stand-up special (even wore a ferrari t-shirt). She was: So nice, we wanted to invite her to our wedding. So fast, she practically teleported with our food. So funny, we laughed like we were at a Kevin Hart show. The vibe? Aesthetic overload. Plants. Sunlight. Smiles. It’s like your Instagram feed had a baby with your dreams. We literally had to hold back tears. Yes, it was that good.

Delicious food. Beautiful space

The place has a really chill and welcoming vibe, which makes it great for hanging out. But what really stood out was the food — it was perfect. Everything was super flavorful and clearly made with care. Definitely a spot worth coming back to

I was in this café 3 years ago and I was really impressed. My current visit was the exact opposite. We waited almost an hour for our acai bowl, which ended up being the opposite of fresh. No fresh fruit, consistency was like a smoothie and had an oily aftertaste. When we asked the service about our order, they said it took so long because everything was fresh, but it wasn't. We also had to wait over 40 minutes for the drinks. Compared to my visit 3 years ago, I am more than disappointed.

The food was great! The experience was sadly narrowed by service, it was very slow and another person and I waited for up to 40 minutes before our meals arrived. There was no information unless you asked or even went inside to check. We didn’t feel very tended to. As said, food is great - do make sure to plan in plenty of time for that visit, otherwise you might be running late to somewhere else. :)

Was slightly empty when visited. But it may be fun when full. Advised to visit morning, early noon.

Everything is perfect My orders are so light and tasty Truffle Mushroom hummus mango toast with chicken

The avocado toast was nice and I love everything

Nos topamos con este lugar mientras buscábamos el desayuno. Había una pequeña cola afuera, pero esto se movió rápidamente. El personal nos recibió con una sonrisa y todos fueron muy educados. La comida era fantástica con un montón de opciones. Las bebidas eran deliciosas también.

Nice place and amazing food. For larger groups book in advance.

The breakfast is delicious, and I think there is a difference in prices between it and the center branch

I can only recommend a very good shop, French toast was very tasty

I went early on a weekday. Even though it was very empty, the service was a little slow. But the atmosphere was nice and what I ate was delicious.

Went here for lunch and the food was really delicious. We had eggs and acai bowl. Staff also very friendly.

The food was very delicious. The order was Bali Steak and Egg Strawdner and the best breakfast restaurant for us in Amsterdam 🤍🙏🏻

Spent 45min there waiting for food which I never received. Unqualified staff or poor organisation, I don't know.

Tasty!! We didn't have to wait long and the staff was friendly. Smashed avo toast was delicious

Delicious smash avocado with egg

Wouldn't really know about the food, never got it after 40 minutes of waiting. Abysmal service, incompetent staff. Avoid this place

Very good brunch in Amsterdam, peaceful place with friendly workers

Special thanks to Laurens! Super friendly welcome, Super quick service, Super delicious food and great atmosphere! Keep it up! 😊

Das Essen war sehr lecker, der Matcha war eine 10/10 und die Einrichtung könnte nicht süßer sein, kann ich nur jedem empfehlen

Very charming place with lovely waiters, good food and drinks, nice decoration and cool vibe overall! 🌷☕️

Didn't even get to try the food. I cannot stand bad service. Plenty of empty tables, after waiting for a minute or two with no acknowledgement by staff I was told to go back and wait to be seated. Clearly understaffed or rude, I cannot decide which but so happy I decided not to stay and I got a warm welcome at Florentin Brunch. Service poles apart.

The cheese steak is so unique, spicy and recommended.

Just perfect! Nice dishes, a lot of choices, beautiful space!

Pretty decent little place this. Food very good and service is okay as well. Sat on a window seat, mind though as the surface (table/shelf) is not level and your coffee/breakfast may end up on the floor. Asked for poached eggs, not done there apparently. Always makes me worried when they cannot vary the menu!! Overall good place to eat.

There’s something for everyone! You’ll find everything you want to try for brunch. We tried the French toast—absolutely amazing—and the baked salmon, paired with a glass of Prosecco and an Americano. Just perfect! 👌

Good toast, nice decoration and atmostphere

Amazing breakfast restaurant! Specific the French toast.

Not bad but also not so good. Average taste just like any other places. Vibe is nice. Thats it.

Very good brunch in Amsterdam, the dishes are very good and there is a choice You should think about booking before

The rendang/cheddar/brioche sandwich is out of this world. Best sandwich in Amsterdam

The food is so, so good and the coffee is great as well!

Nous avons réservé pour 6 personnes une semaine à l’avance. Les plats que nous avons choisi étaient vachement bons. Mais il y a très peu de choix et la moitié de ceux ci était « sold out » à 10h15 du matin. Ce qui restreint l’expérience puisqu’il reste 3/4 plats et 2 desserts que nous pouvions prendre. Beaucoup de supplément : 2€ pour du parmesan râpé au dessus d’un toast quand même.

Food was super tasty but I feel that there are many tables there and the tables are so close to each other that you can't even walk past. When you are having a conversation you hear everything from all two tables next to you…

I used to enjoy Benjis but the new menu has become so limited. It's basically just a sandwich oriented shop now.

We stayed just up the street from this place for three nights and had breakfast there every day. There’s a very cool urban vibe and the food is fresh and delicious. Highly recommended.

Amazing dishes Fast and friendly service Highly recommended

They have plenty of food and an amazing area for brunch. Their drinks are great!

It’s my first time here at Benji’s! We saw it online and the food is good! 😁 I thought they were more choices for brunch but I guess I got overwhelmed of the other videos 🤣 though I got the avocado toast with extra salmon and egg 👍🏻 I loved the mango iced matcha, something new for me.

Nice place for brunch but it tends to get very loud as they is mostly full on sunday morning. No acoustic installations to damp a bit the noise & the noise of the chairs when people stand up. No decaff coffee was available on that day. Not possible to reserve up front and you have to queue in a line (expect 10 to 25 minutes).
