Brasserie Bâton/ Espressamente Baton in Grachtengordel-West

Relaxed, good atmosphere and delicious food

Stopped by for coffee and to check emails. Decent Illy coffee, plenty of tables and laptop-friendly. Staff were nice. Right on the canal in a nice neighbourhood.

Very nice coffee and pancakes by the water

Loved this cafe! The best latte I have had in Amsterdam. The mini pancakes and granola yogurt bowl were very tasty. Very kind service. Highly recommend

We came here 3 times, twice for breakfast and a late lunch. The gluten free bread is very good. We had the healthy breakfast with wonderful fresh ingredients. Our lunch was also delicious and they were happy to change my bread choice. Cappuccino also good here. We wish we would have found it sooner.

We've been coming here for many years, and it's our favorite café in Amsterdam. Whether it's breakfast or lunch, everything tastes wonderful. The cheesecake and coffee are our favorites. The staff is also super friendly, and we've become friends over the years. The building is wonderfully cozy, and it's also lovely to eat in such a historic building. The view makes a perfect Amsterdam vacation, as you look directly out onto the canal. An absolute recommendation.☕️

The atmosphere is well-maintained and the service is good, BUT THE BREAKFASTS ARE DISGUSTING. The prices are outrageous, and for what you pay, you'd expect at least a decent meal. Instead, the result is: defrosted croissants, fruit juices passed off as fresh, coffee bitter as sin despite the sugar packet, and if you ask for a croissant with Nutella (which cost €4.50!), they bring you a 15-gram packet of Nutella to spread yourself on a croissant that feels like cardboard, the same goes for the jam croissant. In total, we spent €17.40!! This is truly shameful.

Great breakfast place! I recommend the roasted chicken sandwich.

My absolute favourite for breakfast when I’m around the area!

10/10 Food, vibes, view… everything was great

You order at the table mobile phone and the drinks/food will be delivered. We had a great time with friendly service in a lovely spot

You're greeted as if you've been a regular for years. The staff radiates warmth and makes you feel right at home. While we enjoyed a delicious pastry and poffertjes, our table was served with warmth and smiles.

A familiar place we've been enjoying for coffee or lunch since 1998. Consistent quality, delicious, and in a great location.

A lovely spot with a great vibe by the canal. The atmosphere is peaceful, and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. I only tried their coffee, which was really good — smooth and well-balanced. With outdoor seating and a beautiful view, it’s a perfect place to enjoy a relaxed morning coffee by the water.

Good value for money with good quality. We liked it.

Perfect for a waterfront lunch Very good salads! Good value for money.

Recommend by our local guesthouse. It didn’t disappoint us, great breakfast, amazing atmospheric spot, friendly staff. Great starting point for further exploration of the city center 😌

Very suitable for breakfast, there are tables by the canal. The staff was good, thank you

I added mint tea hot water and they charged me 1 euro

Excellent food and service. Nice seating both inside and outside by canal.

Delicious sandwich. Fast good service

Nice place with a lovely terrace on the canal

The breakfast was delicious, the toilet served its purpose, but nothing more.

We came across this and the atmosphere immediately appealed to us There are plenty of tables outside. It's a bit tighter inside. The service was very nice and the lunch was fine.

This place is perfect for brunch, the servers are very friendly, especially a server who spoke a little French. The products served were very good, I highly recommend.

Great little restaurant on the edge of a canal. The dishes are simple and very good. Prices are expensive, but affordable. We had a great time.

we came for breakfast and had tomato soup and thai soup (soup of the day) both came with a lovely generous helping of brown seedy bread! the soups were nice and warm and settled in our stomachs very well. our coffees came with a delicious little lebkuchen slice too. lovely to sit outside and watch the toings and goings. thanks!

A really nice place by a beautiful vibe of the canal, very friendly staff and good quality fresh ingredients food, They have indoor and outdoor seating.. The coffee was good too.. nice place for a breakfast and coffee

Staff were friendly and approachable . Breakfast was so tasty . Breakfast healthy , roast chicken ciabatta and soup of the day mustard, mango smoothie all were great . 1 downside the other side of the Breakfast healthy ciabatta would be nice to have cream cheese on it . That's it

Amazing view, amazing service amazing everything

Nice environment, in front of a canal, kind staff, nice music, tasty pies, delicious coffee. I highly recommend it!

Great place by the canal, for work online as well as a cupper & a bite.

Great place for coffee and breakfast by the canal

Really cool and friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, delicious coffee.

Netter und freundlicher Service, leckeres Frühstück und Kaffee, gemütliche Atmosphäre mit sehr schönem Ausblick. Empflehnswert!

I don’t like complaining but my experience today in that place was outstandingly horrible. I walked into the place and asked if they had something savory to eat, the lady offered me the menu and I saw that all the dishes there required some time to prepare/ eat while I was looking for a snack. I asked her if they had something to take away and she said “Yes, we do” and gave me a different menu. I decided to go for a sandwich and what they brought to me you can see in the picture below. How I can walk with that bread? Does it look like a snack? I was really upset since I had a meeting and didn't have much time to eat. However, I already paid, and as you can see from the picture this sandwich is completely untransferable. I decided, ok, that sucks, but I'm going to eat it quickly inside and go. At that point lady came to me and said “No, you can't eat it inside, it's only for takeaway, if you want to eat it here, you should pay 3 € extra”🤡 Seriously????? You sold me a product that I can't put in my bag and I have to pay extra if I want to eat it???? On top of that the bread was stale and I couldn't cut it with the knife that they provided to me for 3 €. However, the guy in the kitchen was very kind and cut it for me.

Stopped in for a quick coffee to start my day and loved this adorable spot! I sat at the bar along the windows to overlook the canal as I enjoyed my tasty latte. Staff were insanely friendly as well! 10/10 experience!

a very unique place for me. We ate our brunch here in our honeymoon, and 11 years later, we come across this place again with our kid. Only when we entered it, did we recognize that it is so familiar. What a coincidence!

Amazing coffee and delicious apple pies) 😋

We went for breakfast several days. Very good food and large dishes. Good coffee. Somewhat expensive

Lovely friendly staff, pancakes great and reasonable prices 😋

Very nice cafe with delicious breakfast.

Lovely coffee, great breakfast, friendly staff and dog friendly! A nice view of the canals. Thank you ❤️

Lovely staff and delicious food

delicious coffee, attentive staff, quiet environment and excellent background music

Very tasty breakfast and coffee :-) Nice location and friendly staff

Windy little cafe. Café is good and the salmon roll tastes good too. However, it is not unusual either. The smoothie, however, was very good.

It was a friendly brasserie at the heart of the Jordaan. You can enjoy the sun outside. It made our sunday. The coffee was so good and the sandwich as well

Great address for an inexpensive little white wine! Impeccable service and friendly place.

A great spot for an Amsterdam brunch. The granola, yoghurt and fruit was the best I have had in a cafe.

Great Cafe, with very good coffee. Very friendly staff. Great experience.

The soup is very good! Very quiet and pleasant place for lunch after a walk in the Joordan district.

What a cozy restaurant on the canal. Were here during the Amsterdam City Walk on October 19, 2024 and sat outside on the terrace. It was nice and busy so I ordered with the QR code on the table. This worked very well and our lunch was delivered very quickly and tasted delicious. Only praise for this restaurant. The service is very good, very fast service and friendly staff. It also looks very cozy inside.

Had a delicious truffle chicken sandwich. Good service. Very warm upstairs. Recommended!

Best sandwiches in town, for a real fair price we go there very often and pick one of several available Sandwiches. You can choose different kind of bread and multiple versions of fill ins salmon, pastrami, tuna, cheese, omelette and so on always included fresh vegetables 🥗 Changes are happy to be made from the service

Nice and quiet and warm. Pleasant. Fine food and nice service.

Scan the QR code to order, super convenient, the truffle mushroom pasta with green onions is a perfect match, super delicious😋, the soup is also delicious, and the tuna salad is also very rich, I recommend it to everyone

For me, this is the best restaurant in whole of Amsterdam. Food is great, good portions. Relax by the canal. Service is fantastic and friendly. Will be back. Amazing open sandwich and coffee.

I stayed a hotel down the street for almost a week, and this became my go-to breakfast place. The staff were friendly, service was quick and the coffee was delicious. The croissants were perfect.

It was so nice to sitting outside and enjoying the view. We had coffee and cakes and everything was delicious and fresh. I would really recommend this place in Amsterdam!

Amazing place for breakfast! Right next to the canal, great atmosphere, and very friendly staff!

Very good meal, good value for money (get the grilled vegetable sandwich), nice staff.

Very delicious sandwiches. The prices are more than fair (quite big portions) also the staff was very kind and helpful. Hundred percent recommend! 👌👌

Very very good sandwich, which are fairly priced and quiet filling. I can only recommend the pastrami sandwich.

Nous avons mangé un goûter, c'était très bon. Les boissons étaient bonnes aussi. Le tout préparé rapidement. Le personnel était serviable et sympathique !

Extremely rude waitress, €5 extra per person to sit at a table! AVOID Edited in response to cafes reply - yes it’s meant for you, the waitress tried to charge us €5 extra each per person to sit on the tables by the canal, very rudely too!

Great cafe with super food. We sat outside, and people watched.

Great place in a great area. Good coffee with many locals. Vaggelis Greatn guy.

Sehr schön gelegen, im Sommer Möglichkeit zum Sitzen an einer Gracht. Netter Service und wirklich gutes Frühstück. Auch der Kuchen ist hervorragend.

Excellent cafe. Great food. Highly recommended.

Nice view when the weather is nice:)

Preciosas mesas junto al canal con vistas. El personal era muy amable y atento. La comida era muy razonable y bastante buena.

Nice friendly service. Coffee latte and delicious apple pie.

Adorable little atypical and pleasant restaurant, well located, and very friendly staff

The staff very friendly & service is very good, the poffertjes taste & the atmosphere is relaxed.

Great food, service was friendly and helped create the best vibe!

The only thing better than the food was the server!

Baton se encuentra cerca de nuestra oficina en Amsterdam, así que comimos aquí dos veces. Una vez para el desayuno y otra para el almuerzo. Para el desayuno, tomé un croissant con queso. Era básico pero bueno. El croissant estaba fresco y en escamas. Me hubiera gustado que el queso se derritiera, pero estaba bien. Para el almuerzo, comí un sándwich de ensalada de atún. Estuvo muy bien. Había mucho menos mayo en el atún que en los EE.UU., lo que no era un problema. El menú decía que era Wasabi mayo. Personalmente, no probé ningún Wasabi. El sándwich estaba en un buen rollo e incluía huevo duro. Estaba llenando pero no demasiado pesada.

Delicious salads and sandwiches. Cute terrace viewing the canal. Recommend the Chef Salad (photo) and tuna melt.

Impeccable service, brunch and sandwiches at the top.

Clean, great food, fast service for a pleasant break. Cozy interior space. For a recharging break. Advise!!

The place is very nice, the sandwiches are very good. The tomato soup is delicious, ideal for a rainy day

Very good salads. Kind service. The best Italian espresso in town

Very nice food! Carpaccio salad and Dutch pancakes! Very recommended! Friendly staff! You eat out by the water

Tasty and not overpriced for the center of Amsterdam

Excellent and decently priced breakfast.

Encontré este lugar por accidente. ¡Qué hallazgo! La comida era genial. Personal de espera fantástico. Precios excelentes. Mi esposa y yo comimos aquí 2 veces durante nuestra corta estancia. Maravillosa experiencia.

Bon restaurant à sandwichs. Le carrot cake est excellent et les pancakes typiques. Variété de sandwichs, salades et soupes.

What a find! Lovely relaxed vibe. Had an incredible brunch here (the smoked salmon on ciabatta is highly recommended). Lovely, friendly staff.

Great place with a cozy terrace next to the canal. Excellent Amsterdam experience ✨

Great place for coffee. Even better people! Forgot my gf phone there. They charged it, waited for the call and returned even after closure! Thanks!

Very tasty breakfast, excellent coffee, good value for money

I come here often, what a beautiful place, delicious food and lovely staff. All sandwiches can also be ordered on gluten-free bread, very nice that they have taken this into account. The music could be a bit softer, but otherwise a great place!!

Excellent quality of products, very fresh. The terrace is beautiful.

Just a very good mocciato coffee

delicious slice of carrot cake and charming terrace by the water

Great coffee and great apple tart. Have been coming here for years. Quality is still like on the first day!

Great little spot, the chicken sandwich and apple tart were great, also a great service

Cozy brasserie on the corner of Herenstraat/Herengracht. From the 1st floor you can look outside at everything that walks and sails on the Herengracht. Service was smooth, perhaps I could have walked by a little more often to check drinks. For the rest 👌

Very pleasant moment today. We took our lunch in family with our two kids. Simple, copious and simply very good. Service also very pleasant. Thank you !
