Broodbakker Simon Meijssen in Zuidas

One croissant is 2.55 super over priced and shopkeeper is not happy to talk to you. 12/9 thursday morning 9am shift fyi

Very unpleasant experience, came there every day for my breakfast, but today I miss the mark, bought a sandwich and a currant bun, amount 8.40. I ask if it is true that a sandwich is so expensive, and she looks at me as if I am a stupid child. , another customer also says that you should go to the AH if you think it is expensive, in the end the lady had bought the wrong product and it was just her fault, and this lady in question is always sullen while citizens spend a lot of money for a sandwich , she had no money to pay this back so was forced to take something else, very unpleasant, and now definitely go to the AH!!

Unknowledgeable and unfriendly staff, just say what ingredients might or might not be in it. This can have serious consequences for allergy sufferers. Moreover, the cake was also moldy 🤮

Terrible service and croissant €4.25

Croissant way too greasy with oil or butter. I also asked if I could choose a healthy sandwich without pork, the dark-skinned employee who was making the sandwiches responded irritated and curtly that she was busy making sandwiches. Since she is already making sandwiches, it seems to me that she could take 2 minutes to make a healthy sandwich without pork. Such a shame for such an experience! (Also very expensive)

The umpteenth time that the lady behind the counter didn't think I was worth a look, word or smile. Not one word! It's a shame, as it made me feel considerably less cheerful. Never again for me.

Good products but pretty bad service.

I didn’t have the same experience with the service as others mentioned in their reviews. The staff might not have been extremely friendly, but they were perfectly fine for a quick interaction – just a simple "I want this, pay for it, and that's it." I liked the taste, and I came three mornings in a row for pastries. The croissants and pain au chocolat were very nice. I also liked the variety of sandwiches, but I wasn’t in the mood to try them.

€4 for a sausage roll. Are you not quite well or something? For that money I demand that it be made of gold and be wrapped by the nicest waitress on earth, but nothing could be further from the truth! You get an ice-cold sandwich (not even offered to warm it up) from the grumpiest person who found it just a little too difficult to say a simple 'good morning'. Whole morning ruined. What a rotten place.

I visited your bakery this morning, excited to try some treats. Unfortunately, my experience was far from pleasant due to the extremely rude and xenophobic behavior of a red-haired lady working there. I greeted her with a smile and a "good morning," but was met with rudeness instead. As an expat, I responded in English when she spoke Dutch, asking for a soft cookie and a chocolate muffin. She curtly told me the cookies weren't soft (which they clearly were). Despite this, I still ordered one along with a muffin. However, when I got home, I discovered she had given me a vanilla muffin instead of the chocolate one I ordered. To add to the frustration, the cookie turned out to be soft, exactly as I had asked! I urge the management to address this issue. This employee clearly needs training on both the products and, more importantly, customer service. Customers come to spend their money and expect a basic level of courtesy and competence in return. A simple "thank you" isn't too much to ask. Given the number of similar reviews, it's disheartening to see that many others have also had negative experiences, especially with this same employee. I hope this feedback is taken seriously and leads to improvements. IF I COULD GIVE LESS THAN 0 STARS I WOULD DEFINITELY DO THAT!

Came here half an hour before closing time, worker was filling a big trash bag with food that was not sold to throw away - she is not allowed by the owner to give it away, only to throw it away in the trash. This practice of extreme food waste should be criminalized and the owner should make an effort to donate her excess food instead of throwing it away.

Beautiful place and beautiful shop, tasty sandwiches, but anyone who works gets feedback...! You should not react like that to customers, absolutely disrespectful, they already give an impression with their face, very grumpy irritated!!! Customers are your everything.. without them you are bankrupt.. it can be busy but you can ask the customers nicely if they can wait for a little while, it is completely normal! But if you say “no, I don't have that right now, just choose something else here, I can't be too busy right now” then you go to other people and still react unkindly to them... absolutely worthless! I will never buy bread from there again and I will absolutely not give any advice to go there! I hope they change employees otherwise they won't stay open that long.. bankrupt soon..!

Very prompt service, the red haired lady was extremely nice. We showed up and she offered the kiddos each a small raisin roll to snack on. We grabbed some chocolate croissants and were on our way

The food is good, quite expensive for basic stuff. It would not be so bad if the customer service was good. Unfortunately service is horrible, the ladies always look mad and irritated. Especially the old one. I don’t feel welcome at all.

I never leave reviews but I will make an exception. This morning I went to get a quick bite for the road to work. I came in and said in Dutch Good morning. My presence was not acknowledged. I stood by the counter for couple of minutes. Nothing. Two ladies ignored me. Then something unbelievable happened- a man walked in and got served before I did. I laugh at it now but that is one of the worst customer experience I have ever encountered! Rude! If it was my business these ladies would get fired on the spot! I won’t be returning.

Unfriendly service, you get the feeling that you are bothering them if you want to order. In particular the Zuidplein location, a female staff member with red curly hair. Hospitality is absolutely not an issue in this case. And that at such high prices. Outdated these days.

The bakery is open from 7:00 am however you go at 8:00 am you don’t get a reply when you say good morning and can’t get any additional pastries until 9:00 am. If you need pastries for a birthday you need them early, before arriving to the office. If it’s open so early why not everything is available, which probably I could understand if the 2 persons working were a BIT friendly. All the expectations are gone. After reading the reviews, I’m glad I am not the only who thinks that the issue here is the unfriendliness of the or a person working there! Other than that I wish the bakery to keep having the great success tot nu toe.

All very tasty. Croissants fantastic.

Very unfriendly service, there is one specific lady almost hostile to the customers

I almost considered not going due to the low rating, but I am glad I went anyway. It appears most of the low scores correlate with poor customer service a year ago. Today, no complaints. Workers were helpful and nice, and the food was delicious! No complaints here!

Just get a quick sandwich. I chose a cheese sandwich. And I was very pleasantly surprised. Very crispy and tasty even though it was already cold. Highly recommended!

They are really good but today I saw the lady use her hands (no gloves) to handle the products and that freaked me out a bit, so I ran away today :D

Very greasy cheese croissant for 3.65

We werden uitstekend geholpen door een vriendelijke dame met een licht Duits accent. Mijn collega en ik zochten 14 gebakjes, bedoelt als gezamenlijke verjaardagstraktatie, waarbij kundig werden geadviseerd. Volgend jaar, mits onze opdracht wordt verlengd, komen we hier zeker terug. Let wel: Deze review is geschreven voor het nuttigen van de gebakjes. Duurzame groet, team Ritse.

Een super geweldige bakkerij met overheerlijke croissants, brood en andere versnaperingen.

Ottimo per una colazione all’italiana, con una buona scelta di cornetti e cappuccino.

It is that I paid 3.70€ for a croissant with cheese - I can still stand because it was really delicious, but the behavior of the lady who served me this morning really was not nice, open at 7:00 I was 7:05 and the lady clearly was offended at me that I wants to buy something when she has something else to do (spread the goods on the shelves) such people should not work in public places because they can spoil someone from a day wound, she didn't even answer me bye goodbye. There is still a young girl working there who is very nice and I like to shop then

Great croissants and a small table to have a coffee. Expensive but very good quality

Kaasbroodje is very good, but everything is ridiculously pricey. It used to be 1,90 only 7 years ago, now almost double. THAT IS NOT INFLATION

Heerlijk belegde broodjes en gebak. En goede koffie. Ieder pauze weer een feestje

Wat een arrogante, klant onvriendelijke bediening. Was vrijdagmiddag, was de enige klant, na 5 minuten gewacht te hebben werd ik dan geholpen. Mocht niet meer aan tafel mijn broodje nuttigen omdat het net was schoongemaakt... was 14.00 uur! Volgens personeelslid had hij nog veel te doen en het was paasweekend...

Good quality, but service is terrible and way too expensive

Bread is alright although bit pricey, but the service is terrible... been few times because is convenient coming to work, but I’ve promised myself not to comeback. The old lady that attended me, was coughing over the bread exaggerating with a really bad crest cough. Almost through the bread over the counter....I said “thanks and good morning” and she looked the other way and walked away... Lovely way to start the day Miss!

Delicious pastry’s!! Presentation and taste are great 😋

Jullie kaasbroodjes zijn mijn favoriet, andere brood is ook altijd lekker. Oh ja probeer de madeleines!

De croissantjes zijn vele malen lekkerder dan die van HEMA en Appie

High quality stuff. A bit pricey but then you get what you pay for.

Beste krentenbollen van Nederland! 👌

The chocolate cake was delicious. Best I've tasted in a long time. Fresh from the oven and just sinful.
