Cafe Schuim in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

We were unruly ejected from Soho house. A snob factory. We found friends in Tea and Cahravan and the gang. Up the Schhhumbags.

Cozy!!! Friendly, still completely genuine, it can be this relaxed

Was walking past and saw a friend inside, then another friend, then another friend who was also DJing, an amazing random night at the schuim like always

Friendly staff, good food, great beer! And the locals go there, so that speaks for itself.

Good atmosphere, reasonable prices. No terrace service.

My grandmother and I had a wonderful aperitif, a place frequented by locals, perfect if you want to experience the real slow life of Amsterdam!

On a great street in Amsterdam. The prices are in line with the area, and the quality is excellent. However, the woman who ran the place was incredibly unpleasant. You have to go to the bar to order, and she makes a fuss and acts like she doesn't understand. And to top it all off, when she came to clear the table, she took one of the diners' plates away, forcing him to finish it quickly. We took it in stride because it was surreal. But the place itself is very nice! Except for the woman's attitude, of course.

Very nice bar for young people with resonable prices, nice indor decoration Nice choices of liqueurs and spirits.

He charged us much more money just because we were foreigners. I don't recommend him.

Really rude staff especially the one in the picture (she’s putting up her middle finger)

Good place to sit if you are in the neighborhood

The owners are very friendly and helpful. They have a warm, family-like atmosphere.

Fantastic staff. Excellent food.

Very nice cafe, with delicious homemade cakes and pastries. Relaxed atmosphere.

This bar is great for the atmosphere, but the waitresses are very rude, they give you dirty looks and serve you reluctantly. The customer service is awful! The atmosphere is great with other customers, and my review would be 5 stars if it weren't for the poor service we received, especially from the waitress with long hair, who was very rude.

Terrible service, not recommended at all. They tried to rip us off by overcharging us 25% (almost €30), and it was clearly intentional because they refused to give us a receipt. When we complained and asked for a review, they refunded the overcharged amount, but with an obvious intention to scam tourists... and then they pretend to be an alternative and socially conscious place... what a contradiction! The woman treated us very rudely. When our son asked how to say thank you in Dutch, she told him to look it up on Google... while she treated the rest of the clientele, who were mostly Dutch, with great cordiality. We were left with the feeling that tourists aren't welcome in that place, or perhaps they have some kind of racist prejudice. Not recommended at all. Terrible service, not recommended at all.

Very rude staff. The waiter refused to give me receipts and I needed them for work. In the end he gave me a random receipt and called me annoying. I don’t recommend this place at all.

Great food especially vegan and veggie burger and good selection of beer. Friendly relaxed atmosphere

Nice place that we stumbled across. Relaxed place with a good atmosphere and friendly service.

Nice place, nice people, a terrace but also cozy seating inside. I'll be back!

A really cool place to have a drink; the bar's decor is super charming.

Good spot for breakfast and friendly staff. Fun atmosphere

Delicious burgers, including vegetarian options! A great alternative to the Burger Butcher next door – the seating here is much nicer! The price is right. Dog-friendly. The only downside is that they could sweep up all the cigarette butts in the outdoor seating area for the sake of the atmosphere.

Great and friendly bar with interesting art.

I asked them to burn my eggs and they did! ❤️ Thank you

Super cozy international free catering tent

€9 for half a glass of drink? Vodka lemon in a small glass for €9!!!! Seriously

Barmen was an awesome guy, knew things about the drinks served.

Nice and quiet place for a beer☺️

We had Royal Hamburger with chips abdxa small salad. The hamburger was pretty tasteless and the fries would have needed more salt. Friendly service too. Very OK for drinks, not for food.

Cool , artie place to grab a beer and also listen live music (sometimes). Place of artists and musicians not far from Dam square, go check it out!;)

Not bad for a.break during the day. Service was very slow, but I guess this is typical Amsterdam Cafes?! Food was good yet portion on the smaller size.

Cool little bar/reetaurant in downtown Amsterdam. “Bohemian” feel with totally chill vibe. You’ll come here more than once.

Waiter is pressed for no reason, meatball was NOT good

A fantastic and unique café with delicious food, a cozy atmosphere, and friendly service. Even with our large dog, we received a very warm welcome and had a lovely afternoon. The walls are adorned with large pictures, chill music plays, and it's a truly wonderful spot. The food was also delicious. Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Great food for a bar, wonderful staff and lovely interior design

Best bar in town for a quick beer!

Didn't eat but, a friend had his BD party here. Great memories were made here years ago glad to see it still is up and running.

Don't be in a hurry once you're there. We received our food about forty minutes after ordering. There were three servers. Two of them, including a woman, were extremely unhelpful, to say the least. As for the food... we couldn't finish it because it was far too salty. We should have heeded the negative reviews; it would have saved us time and money. P.S. Remember to check all the dishes you order to avoid any unpleasant surprises on the bill. In other words, avoid this place.

Had the best cheese toastie here! Also a wide variety of herbal teas if you don’t want to drink alcohol. Very polite staff. The only thing that would improve future visits would be to get a door on the entrance to the toilets

Awesome bar, cool atmosphere, relaxed people. Great acoustics, it was quite full and I could easily have a conversation. I love the extra-large tables!

Nice place reasonable prices and quirky.

Great chill place for Drinks... enjoyed ourselves love the decor

Great spot, bartender/waitstaff is a blast! Very helpful and full of energy---

very nice music, comfy sofas and the underground vibes that's so rare in amsterdam

Made a reservation on the phone. But when we arrived there, they told us that there are no free tables and we left without a table. Awful

We came twice to Schium and both times the beer was lovely, the service was great with a nice atmosphere, well worth a visit in our opinion.

milk in the coffee was burnt and staff was not nice

Cool young crowd. Very friendly staff.

A lovely café in Amsterdam with friendly staff and good drinks and snacks. Definitely recommended.

We had a delicious lunch here. The staff were super friendly. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely be back!

The most authentic bar in Amsterdam. Centrally located, with a great atmosphere and a meeting point with great people. 100% recommended.

Stopped in here for lunch on my first day had a lovely burger and a beer with my parents. We all loved it and the staff were very friendly

We both ordered and enjoyed a delicious and well-made croque madame with a glass of milk. Delicious! Great place and friendly staff.

A very nice and unique place. They serve small meals and a wide variety of drinks. The interior of Cafe Schuim is very uniquely designed (see pictures), and when the weather is nice, there are also a few small outdoor seating areas. We wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam for a while and found the perfect place. With a cold Coke and a ham and cheese sandwich with ketchup (typical for the Netherlands), we were able to recharge our batteries before diving back into the hustle and bustle. We were also impressed by the friendly service from Bavaria, who was really funny and kept us entertained. We'd love to come back sometime.

A pub like no other. A world full of birds of paradise. Enjoyed spending an evening here.

Very friendly service (waiter or/and owner?). Definitely very nice, and even in German. 😋 It was fun with our kids too. The atmosphere was also very unique...something different. We were here at lunchtime. The food was delicious and arrived quickly (burgers and fries). We'd love to come back...should we ever be back in Amsterdam 🙈

Good place for a beer, the guy at the bar is really nice

I had been walking around for hours, trying to find a pub for a pint of something wasn't trash... and a crowd that wasn't a bunch of loud kids full of Becks. This place drew me in... initial vibe check was reasonable and they had Punk IPA on tap... good start... but it was too late that I realized I had made the classic mistake of walking into a hipster bar and not being a hipster myself. Euro hipster have fewer silly mustaches per capita than other hipster enclaves, it seems. I'll have to figure out a new giveaway. I had my pint. It was lovely but lonely. Guess I didnt need another... I mean... there I was. At the bar. Empty pint glass... place was pretty empty. Fair enough. Off I went. I would have had at least one more drink and some food, but I guess they are doing such awesome business that they didn't need mine.

HORROR!!! We ordered Caesar salad. Waited 45 minutes. The service seemed drugged and slow. We've never eaten anything so disgusting! Cold, cheap ham, no Parmesan, no croutons. The bottom line was €4 wasted. €17 was thrown in the trash. Disgusting toilet. The first review I've ever given. Save your money!! The kitchen was closed after the fifth table ordered. No service, overpriced, and unprofessional. We ate two forks and got up and left.

A very nice little café, highly recommended. The food is also delicious. The staff is excellent. A definite must-visit.

Fun bar, good feel inside. Food was decent. Can’t complain

My food was given to others because they didn't like me, and I had to reorder and pay. No one called my name, even though I was sitting right in front of them. Only after threatening to call the police did I get my money back. No apology, just rude behavior. What a shithole.

Nice atmosphere. Had a good beer.

I really like this spot, cool atmosphere and nice mix of people. A little gem hidden in the city center

The place is fine for a quick drink and snack, but food options are limited. We had nachos—they were okay. It’s self-service, so expect to wait in line at the bar. Card reader didn’t work during our visit, so bring cash. Nice interior design, though!

Enjoyed a nice beer and a bitterbal

Very nice place, good service and atmosphere. I recommend the tomato soup, it's exquisite.

A unique place. Very nice for a drink. There are tables to share and frescoes on the walls.

Located on an iconic street. The price-quality ratio is a bit steep, given the area. Recommended if you're looking for a leisurely drink. The interior has African decor. Two beers for 12 euros!

safe to go to! 🏳️‍⚧️ (waving the trans flag if you can’t see the emoji)

It was a real pleasure. The food was very tasty, the staff was excellent and the atmosphere was fun.

While looking for something to eat, we found this gem! Incredibly delicious food! The burgers, toast, and club sandwiches are simply divine!

Very good, cool location with delicious food. 🫠

Good place, with good music, for a stop to rest and relax. Lots of variety of drinks for new experiences.

We only had beers with friends here, but the vibe was just right. Loved the murals.

Really like the vibe of this bar, we visit whenever we are in Amsterdam. Friendly staff, great selection of drinks.

This place was cool once, I visited it on Thursday evening and it was full of dodge people, everyone is sitting only outside, the place was empty inside and it felt weird. They have no cocktails but at least the lady at the counter is willing to give you the ingredients and do it yourself (ofc only simple cocktails or just a simple mix rather than a cocktail). I never tried the food . Very limited draft beers offered.. No music that attracts you. I remember this was a lovely place with djs even sometimes. The only thibk that remains nice is the interior decor. Pity, it was a kind of gem in the past

did not eat but had drinks. nice atmosphere. disorderly. just as one would expect a location with an 'undergound - punky' look should feel like. nice people. not your average tourist trap. where real people from amsterdam come. not the rich and would be's of this world.

It's a bit outdated. Has/had potential, but with that many tourists daily, no one cares. You can have a drink and some snacks

Not a bad place to drink something but it's now worthy to exclusively for this. It's an option if we're going and decide to grab a drink

it's where I like the staff more than the visitors.

Beautiful tent, nice and raw, fortunately not an average tourist hut

Very nice place to go and have a drink with the friends. Also very nice prices

There is little attention paid to customers. We had to wait a long time before we were helped, while we were sitting at the bar. It was not busy and the bar staff was more concerned with each other than paying attention to the clientele.

Excellent place for good beers, good service and good atmosphere

Very cozy, chill chair, authentic vibe. Recommended for a beer with their delicious fries!

Nice place to have a drink, it can be busy but there is always a seat available. Unfortunately no cocktails, but otherwise a great place. I like coming there

bartender was very intoxicated at 2pm on a Sunday (couldn't stand anymore). Sad for the girl who works there.

Super friendly waiters, great atmosphere and music… out of 10 😍

Don’t get food here. When they don’t bring it to you they blame the costumer for not paying attention while they should be the ones who know where the food needs to go. I work in a cafe myself and this is not acceptable to blame the costumer for that. It the waiters job. I even asked if my food was still coming and the waiter said yes and than still puts the food on another table 5 min later and blames me when I asked my money back but did not get my money back because they said it was my fault. He just said you should have taken it from the other table. How inappropriate is that? I’m not going to take food from another customers table what do you expect?

Nice casual place to have drinks

Nice in Amsterdam we liked it very much Crazy

Lovely place, the manager is adorable ❣️

Like the decoration inside, its very atmospheric! Also mamy beers to choose. Nice food too.

Very very off the beaten track coffee shop, affordable prices and really good cakes. The place is full of history and character too

Cozy bar, you can drink many different drinks

Pleasant place to eat. Nice interior, for those who love art. everyone joins everyone else. You can order at the counter. Bouncer with ham and cheese is recommended. You've eaten more than enough for €10.50. Management needs work. You have to be patient. Of course, time passes faster in good company.

Very friendly cafe with a very good atmosphere. Friendly service and good food.
