Benji's in Weesperzijde

Good food, good staff, will be happy to visit again.

I had the Eggstaordinary while my husband went for the breakfast burrito, and we both absolutely loved our meals. The portions were incredibly generous & satisfying. The place itself was also beautiful, with lovely decor and such a great atmosphere and vibe. Definitely a spot we’d happily come back to and recommend to others!

Excellent food… particularly the French toast… MUST TRY

Love this spot for brunch! Excellent vegetarian options - highlyyyy rate the tempeh sourdough, omg! And the matcha 💚 Staff were really lovely and I liked the open, industrial/plant vibe of decor! First time we visited the service was so fast and second time it was slow but we visited at different times so expect delays in busy periods. You can tell great care is taken to make the food though so worth waiting for :) Nice space for coworking, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Also v near the metro station for easy access. Would highly recommend!

Lovely brunch place we stopped by, staff were accommodating, food was efficient and tasted yummy. Not too loud. We were sat by the window, nice and spacious

A nice and cozy atmosphere. We had a delicious meal. The granola bowl is highly recommended!

Excellent breakfast spot with plenty of egg options. Great coffee, fast service and friendly staff!

I got the scrambled eggs with avocado and caramelized onion and my scrambled eggs with avocado toast. It was really good. Love the atmosphere.

My first meal in Amsterdam it was nice.

We had breakfast and it was very nice

Good breakfasts – classic but tasty and fresh. The coffee is also good (though small), and the service is very friendly.

We were here twice during our vacation, it was delicious, it's quite nice to sit outside, but the tables are small and a little wobbly, which is not very comfortable. Because there are quite a lot of people, you may have to wait longer than you would like for your food and for a drink. The food was delicious, despite the fact that I'm not a fan of breakfasts in general, this place was near our hotel, so if you're somewhere nearby - feel free to stop by!

Levi was great! Hospitality and service on point. Delicious food, beautiful environment and incredible iced matcha mango latte. I would definitely go back.

This is a very cute place. The coffee was good and the food was bombbbb

5/5 ⭐️ A really lovely breakfast spot! Everything was fresh, nicely prepared, and tasted great. We especially enjoyed the granola with yogurt and fresh fruit, as well as the sourdough toast with scrambled eggs and avocado. The coffee and tea were also very good. The portions were generous and overall everything felt well balanced. Price-wise, I would place Benji’s in the mid-range, but considering the quality, it was definitely worth it. Highly recommended for a relaxed and delicious breakfast! ☕🥑🍓

Food was delicious, incredible attention, nice location. Highly recommended

The best French toast EVER. Nothing to change 100/10, please never take it off the menu!! 😻💯

The place is very beautiful and elegant, and the food is delicious.

Love this place! Waiter is kind and friendly, food is increíble, the vibes are also super nice.

Fantastic breakfast. Food is amazing and staff were very friendly. Great place!!!

Delicious, filling and pleasant atmosphere.

Great brunch spot! Lots of different options. The staff were very welcoming. Thank you!!

I actually really like this place! But please learn how to bring coffee together with the food or later:( now I come at your place hungry, order food and coffee, and stare at the coffee and wait for for the food while its getting cold. I don’t wont to drink coffee while I’m very hungry.. Even if I ask to bring it later, it doesn’t help..

Benji's in Amsterdam (Grachtengordel-West): good quality brunch and a nice little terrace. An important point if you are celiac or intolerant: gluten-free options do exist, but they are decent rather than memorable; it's clear that gluten isn't their main focus. Note that...

A really great little restaurant for brunch! The food was delicious and freshly prepared. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive, so I felt very comfortable, even as a solo traveler. I highly recommend it – I'll definitely be back!

We went for breakfast, it was nice but crowded, it's best to go early.

Delicious food and great ambiance.

A fantastic café with a relaxed atmosphere and stylish ambiance. The breakfast was fresh, creative, and delicious. The coffee was especially good, and the service was friendly and attentive. Perfect for a leisurely brunch or a relaxed start to the day. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Amsterdam – I'll be back!

Perfect place for family breakfast or brunch, lovely atmosphere and delicious breakfast options, we really enjoyed.

I am a big fan of Benji's. The food is fantastically delicious, the coffees are of high quality, and the staff is always very friendly and helpful. However, I find the matcha at Benji's to be very disappointing... For anyone looking for a nice lunch, Benji's is definitely highly recommended!

Had a delicious meal, friendly service, trendy location with atmosphere.

Cute little terrace with good vibes, lots of seating inside and umbrella covered seating outside. We got iced strawberry matcha and and iced latte, both were very tasty. The breakfast burrito was one of the best I’ve had, and the Caesar salad with fried chicken was abnormally good. We also shared the truffle mayo and Parmesan fries, and having had Fabel just yesterday, I can say that these are just as good. Honestly you get more fries so I would prefer these. Excellent all around!!!

Ordered the breakfast burrito. Crew was really nice and friendly For outdoor seating we waited about 10 min

The food is so delicious, I highly recommend

Exceptionally friendly and nice people

Good food, very good service, and a pleasant place.

Lovely staff and tasty food. No full marks because they didn't clean the table and we had to wait a long time for both drinks (smoothies) and food (smoothies almost gone by the time it arrived). I understand it's lunch time but you should be ready for that, especially as a lunch room.

honestly i don’t know, the food is amazing, the prices are very reasonable, but the waiting time is quite annoying, i waited at the front for 15 minutes, while half of the place was empty and i was choosing from at least 10 available tables outside, other than that the service provided by the waitress was good, just i don’t understand where the waiting time comes from, no one came to me and said something, i was just ignored for 15 minutes

We had a wonderful meal! The food was delicious, the selection was varied, and the staff were incredibly friendly. It's a shame the dining room was so noisy, even when it wasn't very full.

it was just amazing!!! highly recommend to stop by 😍

Amazing café! The food was delicious, everything tasted fresh, and the service was very quick (considering it was quite busy). The service was incredibly friendly and attentive, so everything was perfect. I would definitely go back.

Really tasty, we especially liked the yogurt and granola bowls. Everything is delicious and high quality. A little expensive in my opinion but good... *When I asked for acai they said there was no more, Update this in the advertising content. I came specifically for the acai and there is none. Still a really good place, thanks

A great place for breakfast. The food is very good. Highly recommended.

The Staff was amazing, so was the food. I had the Breakfast Burrito and was greeted by a full plate. The meat was Tender and nicely seasonend.

Loved this cozy and hip brunch cafe! Great service and charming waitress! I ordered a granola bowl (which can be made vegan) and it was absolutely delicious! The coffee was great too! Would definitely recommend coming here!

The food was amazing and we will be coming back for sure. The beef burrito is out of this world 👏🏼👏🏼 I thought my iced matcha could be slightly better but overall a 10/10 food place 😍

Excellent for breakfast/brunch, the menu is varied and offers many options. However, the service was a bit slow (30 minutes), but the food was excellent!

A little gem! Cozy, delicious food, and friendly service. Parking is easy behind The Social Hub and a 3-minute walk.

Friendly and chilled place with fantastic food.

It is an extremely dog friendly place. You can find a place at any time without any reservation. We had the Beef steak sandwich and Pandan french toast. Each dish tasted amazing. The beef was juicy, and went quite well with the spicy mayo. The pandan cream complimented the french toast. To end we had a coconut sorbet affogato.

Visiting the OG Benji’s Having been to the Amsterdam-West branch before, I wanted to see how the original on Wibautstraat compared. The vibe is exactly what you expect: a relaxed, jungle-like interior packed with greenery. What I ordered: 🥑 Smashed Avo: Served on tasty sourdough toast with everything-bagel seasoning, lime, chili flakes, and microleaves. Balanced flavors and a generous portion. - Sides: Added the creamy, cheesy scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. Which were great additions. 🍋‍🟩 Iced White Tea: Infused with lime and mint. Light, refreshing and not too sweet. The Verdict: - Quality: Consistent presentation and food quality across branches. - Service: The crew is friendly, quick and keeps things running smoothly even when the place is packed. - Overall: It gets busy for a reason, but the team handles the rush well. Consistent with their other locations.

We didn't go for lunch; the line was long even though there were tables available.

We loved this place so much we came here two days in a row! We tried a huge variety of the menu: the breakfast burrito, salmon avocado teriyaki, Bali cheese steak, prawn egg toast, pandan French toast, and the scone. Visually, every single dish was stunning and Instagram-worthy, and for the most part, everything tasted amazing. A couple of dishes could have used a touch more salt to really make the flavors pop, but it didn't take away from a great meal. The coffee is also excellent. Highly recommend checking out the Benji’s Oost location!

Great location with a fantastic selection. Very friendly service. Everything takes a little longer and is unfortunately a bit noisy.

First of all everyone is super friendly, welcoming and helpful. And the food was really incredible! We took two salmon options: toast with marinated salmon and bagel with smoked salmon and they were both 10/10! We will definitely go back!

We came in at 12:55 and needed to track down the waitress because she didnt come to us for between 10 and 15 minutes. After that we ordered food and drinks but got one coca cola after 10 minutes!! Also food was awful, looked okay but tasted bad and not flavoured with any spices. Pommes with truffle and parmesain was not salted at all. Also we ordered food at 13:10 bit got the food at 13:45. Also bread in the bali cheese steak was old and because of that was hard as a rock and then it was toasted and became too hard. All together it is very understaffed and for 70 euros very nad experience

There was a queue at the door. I think we waited around 15 minutes. I don't usually prefer avocados but I wanted to give them a try here and I really liked them 🌟 But I think the portion was a bit large.

We came here every morning Just Perfect! The food is fresh and clean.

Breakfast options were very varied. The food itself was truly delicious and filling. The price was a bit high, but the service was very friendly. The seating area was also exceptionally pleasant.

The people working are nice! The food was good, the matcha was not very good quality, but overall we enjoyed it a lot :))

Very friendly staff Breakfast was incredibly delicious I can definitely recommend it Cool location

Very good, but be warned, there's very little sweetness...almost none at all. The service, however, is lacking... a long wait (20 minutes outside the restaurant even though tables were available) because the staff are chatting amongst themselves and with their friends, ignoring the customers waiting to order. Too many staff, but not enough efficiency. A shame. Kudos to the kitchen staff.

The Dirty Chai Latte was amazing! But the breakfast was also very good! Great industrial design inside.

The breakfast was incredibly delicious and the staff was very friendly.

We had breakfast burger, avocado toast and coffees. Very tasteful brekkie and pretty well coffee! I liked the bread for the burger🥯 but I prefer toasted sourdough bread for smash avo, I’ll ask them to toast it next time 😊

Shocked & upset with the service at Benji’s. Had to visit twice within 1.5 hours as granola was not available on my first visit. I came back when they said it would be ready and guess what? Still no granola. Ordered the bowl with peanut butter and paid extra. Guess what? No peanut butter. Not going back a third time today to chase a missing add-on. At €18 for an açaí bowl with nothing in it, the least you can do is try to accommodate the customer. This didn’t meet that standard

Cozy spot on Wibautstraat, easily accessible by metro Tasty lunch menu, we had the scrambled eggs and eggs extraordinary What is a bit of a shame, though, is that they don't have real cake

I have been to Benji’s West many times, but this one in the Oost is Superior!! In every sense!

The granola and avocados were amazing, and the staff is really nice. We didn’t get to sit inside because it was full (Sunday morning) but the terrace offers a pretty nice atmosphere as well.

It's a great place and really delicious. The waitress was so kind and attentive. Thank you!

The order we placed arrived incomplete, and they didn't acknowledge the error. We ordered two full brunches, and each one only had one ingredient, missing more than half of what the menu listed. The coffee was very good, but it arrived before the food. The service was good.

We went with my girlfriend, the order arrived incomplete, but we only received an apology, and paid the same.

I don't recommend this place. The brunch I ordered arrived incomplete and the coffee was late. They only apologized for the mistake.

Benji’s is undoubtedly one of the best brunch spots in Amsterdam and, for me, an absolute must-visit when in the city. The moment you step inside, you realize this restaurant is more than just a classic café – it's an experience. Benji’s concept combines a relaxed, almost tropical atmosphere with urban style. Plants everywhere, warm colors, and a thoughtfully designed interior create the feeling of a little urban jungle oasis – a perfect contrast to the hustle and bustle of city life outside. The menu is incredibly diverse and internationally inspired. Here, classic brunch meets creative, modern cuisine with influences from around the world. The selection of fresh bowls, unique toasts, and hearty dishes like chicken katsu or truffle eggs is particularly impressive. There are also numerous vegan options, making the restaurant accessible to everyone. In terms of taste, Benji’s is a winner all around: The dishes are not only visually stunning but also perfectly balanced. Fresh ingredients, exciting combinations, and a loving presentation make every dish special. Add to that excellent coffee from local roasters, fresh juices, and creative drinks – ideal for a long, relaxed brunch. Another plus is the laid-back, uncomplicated atmosphere. You can simply drop by, often without a reservation, and immediately feel welcome. Whether with friends, as a couple, or even working with your laptop – Benji’s offers the perfect setting for every occasion. Prices are in the mid-range, but absolutely justified given the quality, portion sizes, and overall experience. **Conclusion:** Benji’s is much more than just a brunch restaurant – it’s a stylish meeting place with excellent food, a unique ambiance, and a truly welcoming atmosphere. Anyone looking for brunch in Amsterdam simply can’t miss this spot.

Lovely find, food is tasty and great selection, clean and nice atmosphere, and the staff are very friendly, highly recommend

Solid brunch spot. Even with no reservation on a Sunday at brunch time was able to be seated within 10-15 min. Friendly staff, good food. My “go to” last minute brunch spot

Great breakfast spot! Delicious dishes (something for everyone: from special salmon teriyaki sourdough bread to basic Nutella croissants). Stylish local, friendly service.

Spacious breakfast place with a great atmosphere and stylish interior. There's plenty of room to sit, which gives you privacy and makes the overall vibe very relaxed. The food was good, though at some point it felt like a special touch was missing. All in all, a very nice place with | good food, coffee, and matcha.

Lovely place! The staff was super sweet and welcoming. I got the avocado toast and it was quite good. The matcha was made too strong for the size, but a bit of sugar evened that out. I loved the atmosphere. Even on a rainy day, it felt bright and cheerful inside.

Great food, but super cold inside. The ladies are very friendly!

Been here several times. Highly recommended. This time we had to wait a bit for a seat, but after that, everything went smoothly. The food was served quickly and was delicious. The Philly steak and chicken are highly recommended. Definitely worth it!

Great brunch. I had a very delicious yogurt bowl with granola and fruits, generous portion. The place has an interesting mix of NY loft / modern with greenhouse vibes. The sound system is very good, but the volume could be lower to create a more relaxing atmosphere.. but overall, super nice

Always SUPER DELICIOUS!! Top top top.

First of all, it's very expensive. After paying 54 Euros for 2 sandwiches, 1 serving of fries, 1 iced tea, and 1 coffee, the product you receive doesn't justify the price. The food is tasty, but the prices are almost 50-60% higher than what you'd expect in the city.

Went here for brunch. The place was packed but we we didn’t have to wait very long for a table. The food presentation was nice and the food tasted allright. The atmosphere at the restaurant was allright, it was kinda noisey and the seating is cramped. But it’s a good place to grab a nice looking bite. The staff was friendly.

Benjis is a small chilled bristro that has a variety of delicious foods. I ordered the Avo smash and the salmon teriyaki and it was by far one of the best breakfast places in my opinion.

For me, it's a must-try. Every time I visit Amsterdam, I come here for brunch. And every time, I order an Eggstraordinary 😋. This dish is simply perfect! It alone justifies the queue. In fact, the queue is a testament to the quality of the place. Aim for 11:00 sharp because after that it gets crowded. I would also add the friendly and welcoming staff. I highly recommend it!

Best brunch in Amsterdam… I highly recommend it!

Food is plain and very simple. Portions are small. The service is a joke, i felt like the waitress was bothered that she has to take our order. They just talk between themselves and you wait 20 minutes to order drinks... it was not even that busy.

Nice place to have a breakfast.

Very Taste Food and Drinks, good prices.

Katsu chicken sandwich 10/10 Mushroom Truffle Egg Sandwich 8/10 Teriyaki Salmon toast 9/10 Breakfast burrito 10/10 French toast sticks 9/10 Amazing service and food!

Everything was great about this brunch spot! We got the bali steak, egg mushroom brioches + truffle parmesan fries, the service was amazing as well, many thanks to Noor she was really nice! 🩷

meh i didnt like the design, and food&drinks are not quality and expensive

The food was good, but not wow. Extremely overpriced for what you get. One waitress was incredibly arrogant; if you don't like your job, quit. I won't be back. It's a shame, but it's a great location.

The food and drinks are good, and the staff are very friendly. The decor and style are also good.

The food was great and it was cozy, but it was very warm inside

We had a disappointing experience during our visit. My chicken katsu sandwich was excellent, but my partner’s Bali cheese steak was served cold. Unfortunately, while cutting into her sandwich, she also found a long strand of hair in the food. She was very hungry, so she continued eating, but when we brought the issue to the server’s attention, our concern was completely dismissed. The server went to the kitchen holding the hair and appeared to be laughing about it with colleagues, which was quite unprofessional and uncomfortable to witness. It’s a shame, because the food itself had potential, but the service and handling of the situation left a really poor impression.

Tried it for breakfast and approved, except for the price, which is really too expensive (around €13 for a hot drink and a pastry). There are vegan and vegetarian options, the setting is nice, I recommend it 👌🏻

Cute place with nice atmosphere. Can get pretty busy
