Berensen in Centrum

My partner & I visited the wonderful Arnhem. We came across this place whilst wandering around and it did not disappoint. The staff showed that great Dutch welcome and the food was great. If you're in Arnhem I would recommend a visit, it will be worth it.

Nice place to relax for a bit with a bite to eat and a drink. It's always pleasantly busy and lively.

Good day, The service at Berensen was lightning fast⚡️⚡️, practically a surprise: within 3 seconds we were already asked what we wanted to drink. Unfortunately, we can't read that fast 🤓. My wife R. Nigerova went for a Chai Latte cinnamon and I chose a black coffee, as always, really. The coffee was fine and my wife enjoyed her Chai Latte, which is truly highly recommended. Given the location, there is also quite a bit of entertainment on the square in front 🎪. For instance, there were people from India standing with signs encouraging people to come and eat a bite in their tent (my wife and I obviously didn't do this for the sake of our health🇮🇳) and there was also a concert by a man cycling around and loudly singing a song that I haven't been able to identify to this day🎶. All in all, a great place to sit for a while and people-watch with your loved one. Kind regards, R. Nigerov.

We visited spontanoeusly on our day trip to Arnhem. The location is cute and the service is really nice (even got some eater for our dog). I had the loaded fries and wow, I have to say that for 9€ the portion was amazing and worthy. The matcha was also pretty decent.

Cozy terrace and we were served quickly. Nice spot right on the corner, great for people-watching. The cappuccino was a bit mediocre but the coffee was very tasty. ☺️

Had a delicious latte on this beautiful terrace right in the city center. The toasted sandwich was also tasty. The service was friendly and efficient. A nice place to relax for a while and enjoy what they have to offer here.

The only place where my girlfriend eats the salad on the premises.

We sat here on the terrace with 4 adults and a 4-year-old child in 35-degree heat. Our daughter had brought her own drink. The waiter came to tell us that she wasn't allowed to have her own drink, and later he came back again (after consulting with his manager) to say that it was absolutely not permitted to drink beverages on the terrace that hadn't been purchased from them. Mind you, this involves a 4-year-old girl on a 35-degree day who really wanted to have her own drink. With 4 paying adults included. Truly incomprehensible. We ended up eating somewhere else.

Ordered a cappuccino... I got a cup that was an espresso cup with two sips in it for €4.20. SHAMEFUL! So I'm never going here again.

The waiter was very pushy; I hadn't even picked up the menu yet and said in a very irritated tone that I couldn't order food. I did wish him a nice day, but he just ignored us. The price was also very expensive.

The menu is not in English. After asking politely, The host told us several times that menu was in English online. No. It is not. We should have left, as the service was rude. Tourist beware.

Great place to eat and drink. The tables are a bit small for sitting with 4-5 people. The food is good and the service is also quite good.

What a lovely little luncheonette. The coffee was genuinely one of the best I’ve had in a very long time. Friendly service, a warm atmosphere, and somehow both spacious and wonderfully private at the same time. A quiet little pocket of calm in the middle of the day.

I had ordered rustic bread with croquettes, but what I got was just bread. It was exchanged and I said yes, rustic bread wasn't delivered... she comes back with thicker sliced ​​bread of the same type that is supposed to be rustic bread... I say to her colleague yes, that's right, it's not there, but your colleague just said it was .. Asked for compensation for not delivering what is on the menu... no, that wasn't possible They do lie

Phenomenal place. The food was served super fast and very tasty.

What a wonderful atmosphere on the terrace, we enjoyed a delicious beer 🍺 and a snack. And the ladies were so friendly and helpful! The owner is a ray of sunshine. Thank you for your hospitality, see you in Lage Vuursche (Kastanjehof). Kind regards, Karin and Erwin

Not great, but okay. Service is mostly poor. Inexperienced staff who consider themselves more important than the guests.

Cozy café with delicious coffee and a lovely terrace. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Definitely recommended!

Best service, tastiest food, and friendly staff.

The wine is far too expensive for this poor quality.

Had a lovely meal with my daughter before going to the Harry Potter show. Highly recommended for a delicious lunch!

There were two of us, and the food was delicious. The staff was incredibly efficient, and it was a great place to stop for a bite during a winter stroll through the city! We would definitely go back to "Berensen" anytime!

We had a delicious lunch here during our weekend in Arnhem! Lovely outdoor patio, perfect for summer! With the snow, I wouldn't have sat there :)

I had a quick coffee and cappuccino here today. What I paid for it was unbelievable. €15.50. Well, we didn't even pay that much in Paris. It's unbelievable. We won't be back.

This is a very cute eatery, The staff was very lovely and attentive even though it was busy and my cheese and ham toastie was delicious. Having said all of that and It’s a beautiful place that I would recommend. however, it is not the cheapest But on my visit, the quality back that up.

I really liked it. Stuffed Avocado sub is delicios. Very pleasant experience and friendly waiters, steep stairs to the wc might be a no-no for some.

Had lunch on the terrace today, and the service was very pushy. The lunch was awful: a schnitzel as fatty as bacon, with a small salad that had been ready for at least two days. The tomato soup was lukewarm, also awful. Not worth going back!

Very expensive and bad service. We had a beer outside, and we ordered a second round as it was their last call a few minutes before 6. After we got the second round they started building down the tables around us, turned of the heater and the lights right after we received our drinks. The price is also unreal, 4.80 euro for a regular 0.25cl beer.

Bad service, came back twice to ask what we had ordered for drinks, staff did not know which table they had taken, very expensive for what you get, the lettuce was very wilted, bread had tough crusts and croquettes were almost burnt

Food was very mediocre, drinks and staff were fine

We go there regularly. The prices are a bit high, but hey... I find that in all restaurants these days. We love going there. The food is excellent, and the staff is always friendly. Nothing wrong with that!

We had a drink on the terrace while shopping...cozy. The carrot cake was delicious and from the Holtkamp bakery, which is known for its quality and delicious flavors. The service was friendly, but nothing more.

The food is super delicious! And the wait isn't too long either. Highly recommended.

WARNING... check the prices carefully! They're incredibly expensive! I paid less for my coffee and pastries in New York. And as an owner, you should also ensure the staff is dressed a bit better. Red velvet pastry €7.10 Apple pie €6.70 with whipped cream 2 coffees €8.20

We wanted to grab a coffee in Arnhem, outside, but covered. Berendsen is a nice, central spot in Arnhem with a lovely terrace. The coffee was definitely overpriced for the mediocre quality.

Lovely terrace with plenty of sun and shade, but unfortunately there's a €0.90 surcharge for oat milk (you can buy a whole carton for that) and no toilet on the ground floor. In fact, the stairs to the toilets are steep and narrow, making them not only impossible for wheelchair users but also for anyone with limited mobility.

'Bad vibes', a sum of bad downright unfriendly service (from several people) and a small cup of cappuccino for €5, which I didn't like as much. I never write a bad review, I'm making an exception now. There is enough room for improvement, hopefully that will work.

Before we continued shopping in Arnhem, we went here to eat something. The weather was very nice and then a terrace is nice. Everything was fine here, but no more than that. Standard service that only wants to order and bring and does not want to invest in 1 on 1.... well, you have that too! Boring!

We went there on Sunday afternoon. It was nice weather so we would like to sit outside. A bit busy there but still have seats outside at their terrace. There are menu for drinks and lunch at the table. So when waitress came by we can order immediately. We ordered drink and lunch. Tosti with salmon and bread with some meat (forgot the name) Not too long wait even they busy at lunch time, our foods arrived. Tosti with salmon and some cheese, nice and warm. Come with small bag of ketchup and small salad.I think it's yummy but my partner not think that. Bread with meat(I think it's pork) it's big pieces of bread come with meat and Sate sauce, topped with fried egg. Sided with small salad. Also nice and warm, well prepared. There are toilet inside restaurant that you can use. It's clean and free for customers. We enjoyed food there and sitting out for nice weather but what we didn't like is people smoking around. It's terrace so many people smoking while sitting there. I think it will be better at restaurant to have a smoke free terrace, at least can have zone for that. I do like sitting outside but hate smoke smell.

Carpaccio meal salad and hot meat sandwich highly recommended. Always fun there!

This morning we thought we would have a nice cup of coffee. The terrace is always packed here, so it must be good, right...? Ordered a coffee and added a cake. My glass had not yet been empty or they were already at the table, can I take the empty glass with me? Eh.......🤔 It wasn't that it was very busy at 11 o'clock. When one was put in, I had to immediately clear the table when I went to pee with our daughter. Again it was still not busy. And then..... Then I went to pay and had a heart attack. What an expensive tent. Apple pie: €5.70?! Red velvet: €6.10. Almost should have been made of gold. In any case, we will NEVER go there again. And I would advise everyone to go one step further. We hope that the people we advised to go elsewhere enjoyed their stay with their neighbors!

Berensen Arnhem We had a lovely time on the terrace in the spring sunshine, early March. It was fantastic. Young, efficient service, delicious drinks. A great spot in Arnhem's city center.

Croquette sandwich. Croquette was fried too long. Bun was soft and too much baking powder. Not a second time for us…

Quite good place to have breakfast but the staff is a bit rude and if you take your breakfast inside while crowded it can get pretty annoying as there is a lot of echo.

Always friendly, fun and good food! A regular spot for us when we are in Arnhem.

Nice terrace, nice view, good and fast service.

It is a great and very nice place to enjoy a delicious menu of different and tasty dishes and delicious espresso which is served by friendly and sweet staff and also welcomed by very nice owners.

Sunday outing... nice terrace... tasty drinks, snacks and food... but what's even nicer is that the service is super nice and interested in you. Always enjoy coming here! Greetings Dick Bernadette and Puk, our labradoodle who is also very welcome 👍🏻

Sitting comfortably! Delicious coffee and cake! ☕️

Very tasty food and the staff is also hospitable!

Delicious food, lovely staff and our food arrived quickly! Highly recommended

Nice place to stay, active staff, highly recommended

Full inside, so sit on the terrace. In itself a good place and heaters have been installed under the parasol, so it is doable. There was a lack of atmosphere here. Fancy a snack and a drink, but what a very pricey menu. When I order a brie sandwich for 11.50, I expect something from it. But alas, the honey could not be found. A glass of soft drink for €3.90 is also absurd. Fries and croquette were dripping with fat and overcooked. Luckily I was with good company which made it worth it, but I won't be back.

Cozy place to have a delicious cup of coffee. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Cozy atmosphere, tasty food. The table was a bit cozy for 4 people.

Great lunch, fast service. Nice girls

Good service, Served quickly Great food.

Very good food, nice place to have lunch

Great winter menu, with cinnamon latte. :)

I fully identify with the negative reviews here. Ridiculous prices for substandard food and drinks! How dare you charge ten euros for a portion (ten pieces) of the lowest quality factory bitterballen (you could even call it bitterballen, never seen such small ones before). The fat dripped out. Which was extra difficult because there were no napkins. Apple pie, same story. Very mediocre, I think even from the freezer. The piece was on the small side. And simply ask for more than six euros (including whipped cream). We received the coffees (lattes) quickly, but they were really very lukewarm. How? Were they already there or was the milk not heated long enough? It is really incomprehensible that if you are in such a beautiful place in the center of Arnhem, you would run a catering tent. Adjust your prices to the level of your kitchen, or think about delivering value for money. But this doesn't make sense. I also post bad reviews, but I just had to say this. Also one of the only times that I reported this to the waitress on the spot. The plus point is that the staff is friendly and fast.

We arrived at 4 p.m. and were asked what we wanted to drink and whether we wanted to eat something. We ordered drinks, unfortunately we could only choose from the drinks menu. It would have been very nice if we had said this before we ordered our drinks. Not very customer friendly, we had the feeling that we were being swept out, which is a shame

Lovely place for a Coffee or Beet between a Shopping Tour through Arnhem! Tasty food and drinks! Service could be more friendly. Service make an annoyed impression and it takes a long time to be served or get your bill.

If you wait patiently, it's a great place. Latte was unfortunately lukewarm. Toilet not very fresh. Only enjoyed a drink, nothing more. Service not bad but not very friendly either.

On Saturday, while doing some shopping in Arnhem, we thought we would have a nice sandwich at Berensen. The terrace was full and I thought it was a good tent and had found a spot. I placed the order. Prices for a loaf of bread were quite pricey, but then you expect something.... the order was a Carpaccio sandwich and a homemade tuna sandwich. 2 cokes all for almost 35 euros 😮 you get a cheap Turkish sandwich that was also dry and literally everything was just thrown on it. price and quality were far apart. For 13.50 euros per sandwich you can expect a bit more. waitress asked if it tasted, she answered honestly..... response yes, that is possible.. WE WILL NEVER COME HERE AGAIN!!!!! it's not worth a single star. Gave 1 star otherwise you can't rate it!!!

Dirty coffee, for which the top price is asked.

Inviting terrace and friendly people. Unfortunately, the rosé and appetizers were disappointing. Rosé is somewhat acidic and less quality. After the garnish you are left with greasy fingers (is grease OK?) and no napkins. The quality of the garnish is basic supermarket and for 16 euros you expect a little more

With my ability to save money because I worked in the hospitality industry for a long time and see some reviews that it is so expensive, people shouldn't complain, they have a card with the prices and then blame the business afterwards? And then about the closing time if there is nothing to do, the owners decide whether they close earlier and not be negative afterwards, but just say it and not through the reviews, that says more about the people who are negative. I have been coming there for a long time. I have no problem with them and if I don't like something I just talk about it as it should be There are few businesses in Arnhem where the owners are better for their staff than for themselves, keep it up Moon and Martijn, you are an example for other catering establishments that can learn a lot from you👍👍👍👍😄😄😄😄🐝 you have been awarded!!!!!!!!!

€5.00 for a glass of orange juice, €4.70 for ginger tea. What kind of prices are these? Just act normal. You don't even get a full glass

What a bad tent. We wanted to order bitterballen on Monday at 4.45 pm, the kitchen was already closed. While they are open until 6 p.m., it says on the site. They came to pay at 5 p.m. because they closed an hour earlier due to the warm weather. Girl said we've been working since 9 o'clock and we're hot. It doesn't matter that the terrace is still almost completely full and is being sent away. Oh yes and the owner's response to this review is.....thanks for the review

At a quarter to 5 you can't order anything anymore because they close at 6 o'clock 😭

Had a nice lunch. Had 2 good sized sandwiches.

Had a delicious lunch at Berensen! Very nice service!! Recommended!

Great establishment with extremely friendly and professional staff! The best coffee in Arnhem. Highly recommended to enjoy!

One star is too much, bad service, no Dutch speaking staff, sit on the terrace next to it, much better service.

Got dead beer. If I wanted a new one. -Yes please. But the barrel was probably out of carbon dioxide so it probably wouldn't get any better. Awkward silence.. Then the question is of course -what do you propose, Mr. Waiter? -Yes we do have other beer. - okay for the same price? - Yes, that's true. - beer really smelled of spoilage and was undrinkable. Jack Daniels with coke was only possible with 'unknown scotch for 4.50 per glass' which I had no idea but it tasted nice. Ice was not included. We asked for it but it took so long that after asking again we decided to leave it alone. The appetizers were extremely poor with fried worm-shaped something and air-filled spring rolls for 10 euros. When we wanted to pay we were asked if we were in a hurry?? It was a fun experience, we still laugh about it sometimes, but we will never do it again.

Fantastic place to drink a nice cup of coffee or have a delicious lunch, delicious sandwiches! There is a nice terrace where you have a good overview of the busy square in the center. Highly recommended.

A really great place to have a delicious lunch or something to drink in the atmosphere of the city center. The owner recognizes us every time and always comes for a quick chat. Food tastes great and is beautifully presented and presented on the plate. The specialty coffees (ice coffee, caramel latte, etc.) are also delicious!

Food is really expensive and not even good. Boards are chipped too. Got the Ghoulash soup and taste straight out of those unix soup packages. Would not recommend…

2 drinks and 2x croquettes with bread. Would be about traditional croquettes with traditional bread. The result was the simplest croquettes without an ounce of meat and indeed ancient (stale) bread (just white sandwiches from the Plus?) That's fine if you were to pay a normal price for this, but if you consider that you would pay the equivalent of 75 guilders for this today, people would have laughed at you at the beginning of this century. Next time we'll go to Apollo again :) Service was friendly and very fast (a bit too fast).

Full place around lunch time. My friend's healthy sandwich was a tough roll without sauce. Ordered tuna toast on white bread, received it on brown bread with a disappointed look from the waitress. The tuna salad was the worst ever. Not spicy, no onion or pickle, just mayonnaise and tuna. In short: not tasty.

Two cups of coffee: fine 2 warm (rock hard) brie/goat cheese sandwiches with a little lettuce of moderate quality.. All together for 30 €, bit very expensive

I don't often post negative reviews on Google, but this one caught my attention. At a time when it is very common to have multiple alternatives for vegetarians and vegans, it seems obvious to me that there is also at least one gluten-free option. To my great surprise, that is not the case with Berensen, not an option at all. And when asked whether omitting parts of a dish creates more options, we did not receive a clear answer. The most annoying thing was that on the menu there is a symbol for gluten-free in the legend, without that symbol appearing anywhere else. Apart from that, the atmosphere is good, and despite the crowds, the service was quick to take and deliver our order.

Delicious lunch and a cup of coffee. Nice and kind staff!

Sat outside on the terrace for a few nice coffees. View of the square where some Christmas activities were taking place. Cozy place and the coffee was great!

Nice and tasty food, but when I was there it was very busy inside and the noise couldn't go away.

Food was great, atmosphere is very wormy especially outside, and the service incredible! Worth it to visit it

Cozy tent to enjoy something to eat and drink. You can also sit on a nice terrace in the middle of the city. Friendly people

Service is good. This time I just ordered a cup of tea. In the cold season, there are heating elements outside - it’s really nice.

When we came in, there is only table available in front of the toilet. You can smell something definitely. People who work there is nice and kind. Food is good.

Sehr nette Bedienung und schönes Ambiente

Fijne plek om te lunchen, vriendelijke bediening. Gaan we vaker heen !!

Propere zaak ,beleefde jongeman die de bestelling opneemt, vers en lekker,mooi gepresenteerd en warsteiner pils

We komen hier vaak… erg gezellig…bediening zijn top meiden…!! En het broodje warm vlees is de beste die er is…!!

Het is leuke plek om wat te eten en drinken het personeel die daar werken zijn altijd vriendelijk je wordt er ook snel geholpen

Leuke plek, en prima bediening. Maar het eten wil ik afraden. Het broodje geitenkaas was erg slecht. Ook was friet niet goed: slap, smakeloos en gewoon vies. Dus ik zou iedereen aanraden hier alleen iets te drinken. Ga ergens anders eten.

Hier lekker geluncht, werden gelijk geholpen en de broodjes waren heerlijk. Bediening is erg aardig en het eten was erg lekker. Ook een mooie locatie lekker in de schaduw met het warme weer.

Très bonne nourriture, service au top!!! Je recommande vivement

Voor tussen het shoppen, effe bakkie super,👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Gezellig om ff lekker bij te komen van het winkelen met een lekkere kop koffie

A good spot looking out onto the cross roads of the small streets. The service is fast and kind and the coffee very nice. Great spot to sit and relax and people watch.
