Coffee & Bites in Weesperbuurt/Plantage

Very nice staff with amazing breakfast and coffee. You can individualize your food with all the items you want, which is super cool!

Definitely not what I expected when I read the stellar reviews that this place has. I'll start with the good parts: the food is decent, and it's pretty close to the Artis complex, Holocaust museum, etc. The staff is (mostly) friendly and polite, despite us being completely ignored and being forced to go to the counter to order (after a 20 minute wait). But that's pretty much where the good parts end. The place is pretty small and cramped, and definitely not clean (lots of flies and tables were pretty sticky, nobody cleaned them during the whole time we were there). Another weird thing is that tables are made from old yarn swifts, which would normally be an interesting thing, if not for the fact that some of them still have the "wheel" in working condition. When we sat down, my partner accidentally stepped on the mechanism and the wheel spun, hitting my left knee. Not a good start. As I said before, we waited for 20 minutes to place our order but nobody came; not being local I thought I had to get up to order so I did, but then I noticed that other people were placing their orders at the table so no, we were just being ignored. The menu has a lot, and I mean a lot of choices. The tricky part is actually getting the food, since it took us one hour from sitting down to actually leaving. The place was busy but not that busy; if you're in a hurry I definitely cannot recommend this. The wait for the food was extremely long, almost as if we were having dinner; not suited for a quick breakfast. And we didn't even have dishes that needed to be prepared "on the spot", like pancakes or stuff like that. It was just a croissant (just needs to be heated) and a muffin (you just need to bring it to me... doesn't even need heating!). The most complicated dish was a hot dog and that's saying something. The coffee was good but the spoon I got with it was extremely dirty; I'm not talking about lime residue, I'm talking dirty and sticky. I honestly cannot recommend this place in general for reasons I already discussed; this is especially true if you're a tourist that wants to see as much as possible in Amsterdam; we thought we were gonna grab a quick breakfast before heading to visit museums or the beautiful city, but we got stuck for an hour of just... waiting. Disappointing, because this place could be much more with some more effort.

the dutch breakfast & iced espresso banana w/ coconut milk are supreme. and the music - great ambiance.

Place has a very large menu with plenty of options. From breakfast to sandwiches, etc. Friendly staff and easy atmosphere. The barista even tracked me down a block away after I left my sunglasses

Really good breakfast! Very friendly staff!

Ordered a sausage on toast they give me 2 cock tail sausages on a hot dog roll with lettuce 😂😂😂 no butter or nothing just lettuce and cocktail sausages on a hot dog bun please do not give these guys a penny biggest waste of €14 I have ever spent when I asked why there was lettuce on my cocktails peice of bread or what ever you want to call it they said just take it off I took it off and there wasn’t even any butter on the roll I couldn’t recommend this to a dog never mind a person

In the Plantage neighbourhood where we were staying around the corner from the entrance to the Artis Zoo. Visited Coffee & Bites three times while visiting Amsterdam in May with my brother and two sisters … all of us from Canada. Each visit reconfirmed our impression that this restaurant was a great place to stop in for coffee and breakfast … the food and coffee were very good and well priced … loved the welcoming, casual atmosphere … and appreciated the excellent service and the warm hospitality of the owner/operators who seemed interested to chat with us and ask about our travels. Each visit we were welcomed with smiles and cheerful greetings. We were beginning to feel like we were at home, which is a nice feeling when you are ‘on the road’! Although we didn’t have lunch or dinner there, I would think the food and service would be equally good at those times too. Would highly recommend Coffee & Bites… especially for breakfast. Will definitely go back when I return to Amsterdam which will hopefully be soon. A lucky find for us!

Delicious dutch pancake bites! Really fast service too

Didn’t like the iced coffee at all. I don’t think that’s how iced coffee should look.

If you like places with warmth service and peaceful energy, you can’t miss this place. Once I got in I notice this lovely family context that will make your breakfast special!

Cosy, for the Dutch and the tourist with an Amsterdam atmosphere.

Lovely staff and good food, we had english breakfast

A cute little café with a fun decor. We had a great breakfast, the healthy sandwich was delicious, and the gentleman who served us was super friendly! We'd love to come back!

Had a nice breakfast at Coffee & Bites: good spot outside in the sun, great service and good bang for your buck. We were helped quickly, got some water served immediately and food was there in 5-10 mins. Definitely recommend!

Henk and Leanne are very dear friends who have built a beautiful and good business. They serve coffee in many shapes and sizes, sandwiches in delicious variations and much more. Quality is of paramount importance

Delicious food. Good atmosphere, nice service. Highly recommended.

Terrific little place to get coffee and breakfast. The owner/family ae extremely friendly and really added to our experience as tourists. We even talked a little bit about American Football and Kings Day events. Highly recommend.

Lovely little place for breakfast and coffee. The gentleman working was very nice and made a lovely macchiato. The food was also very good with lots of options.

Has soy milk…and rents bicycles.

Cute coffee shop with great tasting coffee. Nice neighborhood and owner roasts his own beans. Great way to start the day!!

Best breakfast in Amsterdam for sure

The coffee and the apple pie are delicious!!

Very beautiful Café with a young dynamic team. The pancakes are amazing, and the coffees also. We are highly recommended it.

The ABC Sandwich is very delicious.

We were waiting almost an hour for a breakfast.

The spicanacas omelette with mushrooms is recommended, I went early and the service was fast.

Very nice place ❤️The atmosphere was cosy and peaceful, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a great meal. We ordered the toast omelette with cheese and spinach, American breakfast and everything was absolutely delicious! The pancakes were especially amazing—fluffy and full of flavor. Our cappuccino and americano were spot on, rich and perfectly brewed. The service was friendly and welcoming. Definitely coming back again.

Came here by way of a recommendation from the local hotel l was staying at. This is such a cool and chill little place. I had a wonderful sausage roll and coffee. The staff were so very kind and friendly. Perfect example of cozy Dutch eatery hospitality. Definitely will have lunch here when I come back in the fall. Definitely try the Pastrami Burger.

The staff was very friendly, the food was exceptional. The ambience is very welcoming, and the local looks very cosy.

I found it excellent: a calm environment; equally calm and friendly staff; pleasant background music (soft flashback) and for those who like a simple and varied coffee/brunch, there is the full Dutch breakfast with wholemeal bread, fruit, jams, natural yogurt and fried egg, which I found very tasty. If you are not a big eater, the full Dutch breakfast serves two people. I recommend it.

It's a quiet, nice cafe, the coffees are good, the prices are normal.

Great Place, kind people and good food.

100% recommended. Very delicious food and price in line with the city. If you are staying nearby it is a good place to have breakfast. Very friendly and helpful. They always serve you with a smile Very cozy and well decorated place

Lovely place to eat. Delicious food and lovely staff.

Really nice little cafe.. I had a chicken burger.. and coffee.. really great atmosphere and really close to my hotel

Perfect ! Everything was great from the welcome to the meal which was excellent. We had the full Dutch and English breakfast it was great

Super friendly, good service, fair prices

Very tasty food and coffee. People are nice and have a very cozy atmosphere 😊

Cozy coffee shop with quality beverages!

Great spot great breakfast coffee etc. Nice cozy place and also having the change to sit just in front of the big window enjoying the rainy weather outside. Full recommended!!

Great spot These were really good: Omelette on toast Dutch pancakes Avocado toast

Small and cozy place near the Holocaust and Resistance Museum. I was pleasantly surprised by the chicken burger because I was expecting a medallion and they are two pieces of very very delicious fried chicken with a very good sweet and sour sauce as well. The bread is super delicious and the service is very friendly and attentive even if it falls short if the place fills up. I recommend and would return!

The cook was very friendly and nice, he went out to chat with the guests, they decided to try and trust their intuition. Are you satisfied? Absolutely not. Damage The coffee is not tasty.

Accidentally stumbled upon this cafe, the interior design and atmosphere was so cozy, and we felt at home. The stuff was very friendly, and joked with us. We ordered the sparkling mint coffee and a cinnamon late, the American breakfast and the homemade apple pie, everything was delicious, a satisfying meal for 2 people, and totally worth the price. the apple pie tasted like heaven and melted in my mouth. We sat near the kitchen, and could hear the chef singing songs in Italian, we enjoyed it so much!!! We had such a great experience, I can't wait to come back!!!

Small little coffee shop, quite cosy, very affordable compared to some of its nearby neighbours. Menu is varied with options for lunch including things the kids will eat like ham or cheese sandwiches. Staff were very accommodating to us tourists, very friendly, water on the table. I had a hot dog- really tasty felt like I'd got what I'd paid for. SO got an egg sandwich with avocado which was deconstructed, like build-it-yourself type deal. Avocado was on the turn too which is a minor issue. Overall, really nice, would recommend. Would come back if we were local again

Very friendly and welcoming staff Cozy atmosphere, not very big but warm Very good coffees and tasty sandwiches with lots of taste, we feel that the products are of quality. I had a chai latte, an ABC sandwich, and a carot cake total €19 Fair price for this very good quality of food

We were staying in the hotel almost next to Coffee & Bites. Thought we would try it and we didn’t look back! Had our daily breakfasts there. Lovely, almost quirky little place. Food, coffee and service all five star, thank you!

Food was great + Thanks for charging my phone.

We just had coffee but they have really good specialty coffees!! I would recommend the java mocha, it was so good! super cozy atmosphere, very welcoming!!

Very varied menu, with options for all tastes. Impeccable service and quality! Very good

I was here for a coffee and those tiny pancakes which we’re delicious. The ambiance is great, I felt relaxed and in no rush. Service was fast, the chef walked around joking with people and made the place feel really warm. I will go again next morning. Thank you Coffee & Bites team for the experience.

Great coffee and breakfast. Friendly staff

We are visiting from Chicago and stopped here for breakfast this morning. 100%+++ fantastic quality food. We ordered a simple toast with an omelet. It was above and beyond what we expected!! Soooo full of flavor. We absolutely will be coming back again 😍

Highly recommended! Delicious coffee with a sandwich. We will definitely go here more often when we are in Amsterdam. Compliments to the staff who are friendly and hospitable.

Great place to have coffee and more ! You will find everything you need for breakfast, lunch or a snack. You will love the classic features but also original recipes with great twists. The chef and waitress are really nice and friendly.

Friendly service and delicious food. Especially the frappuccino, great!

It was really fun here, great food and also enough even for a rather big guy like me. I had a full English breakfast, and that was good stuff.

They are very kind. The cookie is great.

Great local coffee shop. We had breakfast here everyday of our stay in Amsterdam. The staff and owners are amazing and the food is just bellissimo! Homie atmosphere adds to the experience!

Top tier service! They were so amazing with our baby! Very family friendly.

The personal are so kind and you can enjoy a good breakfast in here. I'll come back.

Everything was perfect the service, the ambience and also the coffee. We can only recommend it. Definitely gonna visit it again :)

Almost 32 Euro for a full English breakfast plate, an orange juice, a cappuccino and a piece of carrot cake. While the full English was quite good (except. cold toastes), coffee was actually not. The carrot cake was warm (for some weird reason). And it took ages for it to arrive. Comment from a team member: "Everyone comes at the same time, so..." All-in-all, one can have a much better breakfast experience (at any hotel nearby) for this money. I do not recommend.

The staff were shorthanded but that didn’t change the taste of the food. They were very nice and polite.

Had a great brunch at this place! Nice service and owners. I made a reservation via the website but I did not receive confirmation. When I called, it turned out that the reservation via the website no longer worked. Despite the busy Saturday, we were still able to make a reservation for 6 people. Top! The food was delicious and you can tailor it to your own wishes. Very extensive map. We come back!

Great food. Careful of your food and dietary needs. The omelette is highly recommended. Coffee was perfect.

Really good food and GREAT service! Some of the tables have movie theater seats. We had the Full Dutch Breakfast. Everything was delicious. Fabio is fantastic!

Fabio (who I think is the owner) and his team are just wonderful! They really made us feel welcome! We're visiting from the US for the Eras Tour and staying at the lancaster hotel. The food was amazing, the coffee was amazing, but even if it weren't just having Fabio here makes it worth it 🥰

Cool place to get great coffee and chillout

Visited three times during a 5 day stay in a nearby hotel. Excellent breakfast/brunch and one of the best apple pies I've ever had the privilege to eat, all at really good prices. The coffee is lovely too, and the staff are friendly and relaxed, as is the atmosphere. Genuinely fantastic place, with great veggie and meaty options, excellent vibe and yummy coffee. Give it a go!

Came for a coffee and breakfast. Coffee was perfect and pancakes came out great. The waitress was super friendly and had really great vibes—her positivity put me in a better mood for the rest of the day!

Had brunch here with two friends. We were cramped in a corner. Also the place was pretty unclean. There were some dead flies on the walls, stains in the cushions and dirt on the floor. Despite that it was not busy (more than half of the tables were empty), we had to wait 20 minutes for our drink. The portions were small. I also additionally ordered a carrot cake, which tasted as if it had been unsealed in the fridge for too long. The person serving us was friendly.

Just a great breakfast cafe. Very nice service and a good start to the day. Both Americano, hot chocolate and the food are highly recommended 😊

Stopped in for an hour to read a book and have a coffee before leaving Amsterdam - and left annoyed that I'd only found this place as I was leaving! It's a lovely independent place which clearly draws in the locals - overall a great vibe. I ordered a flat white (which was great) and the apple pie (which was a good sized portion) - came to €9.10/£7.78 which for Amsterdam seemed perfectly reasonable.

Oulala what can I say 😂 just a killer great team very good understanding 🤩 great atmosphere the boss is great the cook is also great the service is great 🥳 the breakfast wow😋😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤 so good I had a little white with it 😂 a pure treat really greatrrr thank you very much for the welcome the service we went there 2 days in a row 😂🤤🤤😋🥳

The Dutch pancakes are incredible. Great coffee too, this is an excellent place to sit down for a bite and coffee after visiting the zoo!

Great breakfast, very tasty, lots of options

Beautiful, super well looked after both inside and out, very kind staff and delicious food! A deadly combo!!

Good coffee and pleasant staff. Waited almost 40 minutes for food, and the dinner burger came too salty and dry. Full English breakfast is bit pricy and based on pictures in reviews, sausages are getting smaller and smaller every year.

Small portion of food, I ordered tuna melt and there was barely any tuna. Also the coffee was quite flat, not good quality.

Cozy place with good service and nice staff! Definitely recommended for a tasty breakfast!

Spotted a mouse inside twice, hiding under the fridge.

This cute place was perfect for our lunch stop! The menu is quite extensive for a small cafe, yet everything was very tasty. The staff were incredibly friendly. I ran into one while walking in town later in the day and they recognized us and said hi and thanked us for coming in! It is family run and you can tell they take great pride in their cafe.

Cozy place with great atmosphere. Food is delicious, staff is friendly its a great place to start a day ❤️

Very good food and coffee. We will be definitely back!

Amazing food. Best breakfast food (all day) in Amsterdam. BLTE sandwiches were great, American breakfast was amazing, ABC sandwich was also fantastic.

10/10!! Went there after visiting the holocaust museum and the staff were super friendly! The food was absolutely delicious (completely recommend the mini Dutch pancakes) we got it take away because we had to catch a train and it was super speedy and it was so nice, also amazing coffee!!

Great place for any kind of breakfast, excellent food, good quality and at a good price. If you pass through Amsterdam you can't miss it

This place is one of our stops every time we're in Amsterdam. The owners are friendly and take great care of their customers. The food is excellent, and you can get breakfast during all their open hours. It's also located in a lovely area of the city, across from Artis Zoo and near the botanical gardens.

Good coffee, very warm welcome and good croissant

Worst Cafe Ive ever been food was cold an took ages

Lovely breakfast and cozy place for a relaxing coffee owners are friendly family run coffee shop

Wonderful! Very nice little cafe with a very large selection. Always my pleasure.

The best coffee I've ever had, the staff was so nice, and the atmosphere of the place was just so relaxed!

I recommend the bar to anyone who is nearby: it's very good, informal and doesn't cost too much. Very good cappuccino! The place is very particular and well-kept and the staff are friendly!

Exactly the type of breakfast place we were looking for. Excellent portions for a reasonable price. Service was fantastic and even offered to look after our suitcases while we explored the city

You will not get a better fry up in Amsterdam

Very delicious breakfast toppp 👍👌

We found this right next to our hotel and had breakfast here every morning. Coffee was so good, we brought a bag home with us. Great little local place to eat and drink if you're in the area. Highly recommend the Sandwich Michael or the Dutch pancakes 🥞

Authentic location for snacks. Simple kitchen. Friendly service. Price performance ok.
