De Volkslust in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

I really liked the omelets that come with a small salad and whole wheat bread. The sandwiches and pastries also look good and the price is relatively lower than in the city center. The waitresses are very nice and helpful. In the week I was in the city, I visited this place twice because I enjoyed it.

In the morning rush time waiters will stand there idling rather than helping customers lining up for a quick grab of pastry. It’s very annoying, inconsiderate and lack of respect for customers’ time. So I stopped buying anything there. Seems like you pay your waiters to finish catch up conversations other than to get customer requests delivered.

Very relaxing nice and clean Sausage roll delicious

The service was excellent. The food was okay, but I didn't really like the bacon. It's a bit expensive, but that's to be expected in the center of Amsterdam. It's a good place to wait for your train.

I had a great experience. I was actually looking for another café for matcha, when the gentleman offered to let me get a matcha from him as well. He whisked it fresh and it was a very tasty iced matcha, and above all, the service was friendly! I will definitely come back here again.

Really nice staffs. Very warm welcome and friendly. Coffee and cakes very tasty

The place is Awesome and people are friendly, good food. All the best!

Lovely service by Fozia. She was very warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our visit. The entire staff was friendly, always smiling, and made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The café is in a very convenient location and offers a great variety of sweet and savoury options. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Perfect breakfast. Friendly staff, tasty food and delicious coffee. Highly recommend!

The friendliest and most smiling waitress in Amsterdam. Delicious food.

Excellent, the food is delicious, but the staff's attention and the coffee they serve are exceptional.

I love the place they serve food fast and it’s super good for a nice salmon bagel

Amazing service and very kind people. An amazing location if you’re looking for a treat near the area of central station.

The Atmosphere was nice and the staff was very friendly. Treated very well. I went 9th of this month, it was busy but the barista work so faster.

It’s the best place in the central station. Coffe is really good. I come here very often and the people are always super friendly and kind. Sometimes they are very busy so I hope they can have more colleagues to help. Very recommended

come here often for coffee and lunch. servers are all super kind and friendly they go above and beyond for you. nice view of the IJ river I would highly recommend

One of the best warm place in Amsterdam!

To be avoided. Ordered a beer and a sausage roll, beer never came, sausage roll was a greasy breead with some dogfood-like content. They still really tried to make me pay for the beer. Go anywhere else would be my recommendation.

We tried Muffin , and it was below average and a bit disappointing. Also, please add more vegetarian options for pastries and sandwiches.

Lovely staff and great food overall. Highly recommend it.

Friendly and attentive staff. The bagels were tasty.

They stopped making fresh sandwiches more than an hour before closing. Bit lazy. I had to make do with one of 2 stale looking ham bagels left.

Giovanni the chef, it's the only reason why im doing the 5 stars. He was so helpful with customers, as i witnessed it and the food was amazing. He deserves a shout out! 🙌🏼

The service was extremely slow; our prepared plates waited 10 minutes at the counter before being served. The taste was so-so. The location is central.

Michelle and Elias are the best but also Mia and the rest of the team! Good great food and amazing service

Says open from 7am. Went there at 7.20am. Nothing was ready and staff were pretty rude and unhappy that I walked in at 7.20am

Conveniently located in Amsterdam Centraal station, this Belgium restaurant was where we got breakfast most mornings we were in Amsterdam. With a nice selection of breakfast options, and pastries, this became one of the constants on our trip.

Nice breakfast spot on the NE end of CS. Go to spot at the CS.

8+ euros for a small cappuccino and a microwaved “ham and cheese croissant” is really not ok. Save €6 and get a much better meal at Albert Heijn a few doors down Very disappointed

Ordered a cappucino, came very late due to unforeseen discussion between co workers. It's a station work fast. We missed our Pont. Cappucino came without foam. Price is too high. Concept is too socialist for this highly neoliberal place.

A sausijzenbroodje (Sausage in pastry) is something you can get anywhere in Amsterdam, and there is usually nothing you can say about it, but here (at the back of the train station) I was impressed. Flaky pastry that was actually flaky, instead of oily. I now want to go back and try their English or American breakfast, their large array of sandwiches. Nice people, nice place, and nice view of the river,

I go quite often, and to sit in is absolutely fine but they have a terrible system for To go coffees, there is almost always only one barista doing both to go and dine in coffees. Today I waited 15 minutes just to be acknowledged at the to go counter. I watched 3 people leave the queue because wait time was too long. Can be a really nice place with nice bakeries but they need to make a concrete system for Take away customers. And maybe hire an extra barista to do shots so the turnover is quicker.

Looks like a great place, a bit pricey. I ordered a chai latte. Very tasty; too bad it had a beer cap in it😦 How does that happen???

We went there twice and really enjoyed it. The breakfast was delicious. We would definitely come back.

Very bad coffee and impolite service. They have no idea about how to make a decent cup of coffee. Lady behind the counter was rude, i throwed the coffee away.

This place is in a very quiet part of the station. Right at the beginning of the IJ passage, a relaxing spot to enjoy a cup of coffee.

Very nice cafe, everything is delicious and served quickly, nice service and a quiet, cozy place

Great chill place in the station. Salmon Baguette was tasty and cappuccinos are perfect. Friendly staff and great service. They have a customer toilet as well which is not something common in the station for most places there. Complimentary little waffle adds a great touch as well.

Excellent fresh food and parties. Friendly service and fairly quiet. Good place for lunch!

Delicious and simple place for fresh sandwiches and meal, especially for travellers

Amazing service and great food and coffee!

Decent takeaway sandwich for train. A bit pricey for €9 in 2025

Service is excellent. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed. Wifi and washrooms. Food choices are good.

Broken toilets, simple products, and music that is too loud. Coffee was fine.

The waiting time at the table to place the order is quite long. You have to look for the waitress to be noticed ;) We ordered coffee and muffins. The cookies turned out to be frozen inside!!! We asked for a replacement and got a new one... also with sparkling ice inside. I ate what was "warm", my partner left almost all of it intact... We didn't ask for another replacement, because it would probably be put back in the microwave, and that doesn't solve the problem. Tasty, strong coffee. Toilet available on site.

If you can, choose elsewhere. We only went here because we were short on time to go elsewhere. Loud music. Service was slow and the waitresses were very unbothered by the customers, never said anything more than “ok” and then walking away. Touched our foods with their bare hands and then served it on napkins instead of plates? :s would never go back here..

Ik ben zelf paar keer geweest, het was fijne rustige plek. Tot dat ik met met z’n tweeën komen. Ineens in achter grond harde muziek. Met beleefd gevraagd om de muziek wat zachter gezet kan worden zodat wij normaal gesprek kan voeren zonder te schreeuwen, antwoord ( engels sprekende) serveerster, no we can not do that. Oh fijn.. maar niet heus!!! Ik vraag beleefd om muziek wat zachter niet uit te zetten. Het is restaurant/cafe, geen discotheek… helaas!!!

The products are of excellent quality. However, the service is very long. Plan widely in your schedule

Ilusorio y el almuerzo arruinado, porque claramente pedimos un desayuno sin tocino, lo recibimos con tocino. Pedimos hacer uno nuevo, en este punto solo trajeron el plato de vuelta, quitaron el tocino y lo trajeron de vuelta un minuto después. Nos fuimos ya que este comportamiento es totalmente irrespetuoso, esperamos que esta revisión ayude a encontrar personal que realmente se preocupe y escuche respetando a los clientes (todos ellos).

Pleasant staff, quick service, lovely food. Best hot chocolate in Amsterdam?! Yum! Sadly, though, no vegan options on either of our visits.

Een yougurt met granola voor 11 euro, was neergekwakt in een bak, twee scheppen youghurt. Schandalig voor de prijs. Bovendien verveeld en ongemotibeerd personeel. Ik ga er niet meer heen.

I am very picky about the coffee quality and preparation: every single time exceptional + client service! unlike the “dutch recklessness”, always welcoming and warm. ✨🧚🏻‍♀️💯recommended!

I was drawn in by the food in the window, and was a little worried after checking the Google reviews, but was completely relieved when the food was delivered. The breakfast was delicious and the service was very friendly.

I worked at Centraal for a few months and Volklust was always my favourite place for a coffee or pastry - definitely the best quality in the station. Very friendly staff, varied menu and welcoming atmosphere.

The food and service is perfect. Eggs were done to perfection. The staff are friendly and attentive. The background music makes the atmosphere better than I would expect.

Looks cozy. But it always takes forever.

Cosy restaurant with good service

Nice cafe, friendly staff and good service. Nice and modern furnishings, with plenty of seating. The menu is excellent, well prepared dishes and beautifully presented. We will definitely come back to the nice cafe Volkslust in Amsterdam.

We had the American and English Breakfast. Matcha latte and Hot Chocolate. All very tasty but the egg was very salty 🍳

Very nice restaurant, nice people 😁👍

The macha was amazing super nice variant happy to finally see it on the menu

everything is great! Highly recommended are the bagel and the omelet with vegetables and the one with bacon. The smoothie rouge is also super delicious. the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. Of course it is a little more expensive, but it is also tasty and filling. ideal for breakfast or brunch.

Quite overpriced for a mid-low quantity breakfast

Undercooked Paid €7.50 for a spinach feta twister and a chocolate chip cookie. The twister was undercooked on the inside. A bite of raw dough.

Quick and friendly service. Beautiful and tasty food with excellent cappuccinos. Great surprise at 7:30am on a cold Sunday morning waiting for a bus. 👌

Sicuramente un posto accogliente dove fermarsi per fare una colazione dopo essere scesi dal treno o dalla metropolitana. I camerieri sono gentili e accoglienti. Ci sono diverse varietà di cibo, anche per chi vuole fare una colazione salata invece che dolce. C'è anche la possibilità di prendere il take away. Il prezzo è ragionevole, tenendo sempre in considerazione che ci troviamo ad Amsterdam.

Why does the avocado come out of the freezer and taste like vinegar? Don't eat this. And then ask 11 euros for it. What do you think about your customers? They have no taste...?!?!?!

I had an incredibly nice sandwich here. It was a bagel, mildly sweetened and i think it was corn based. It had some meat on it, with an extremely outspoken flavourl. It might have been smoked i dont quite know. Further on the staff was very helpful. The service was quick and it had a nice atmosphere.

Good spot for a hearty or light breakfast in Central Station. We were a group of 7, looking to run out of the rain. Enjoyed coffee and food at a fair price. Highly recommend.

Absolutely terrible cappuccino for 5 euros.

Parada aquí mientras esperaba un autobús, tuve sopa de tomate que era muy agradable y un café con leche. Servicio bueno y eficiente. Bonita vibra para la cafetería. Sin duda volver si estoy en la zona.

Tastefully decorated, good music and delicious food while waiting for the train.

I was disappointed with the 'crispy bacon' listed on the menu, as it arrived undercooked and chewy. When I politely asked the chef if they could reprepare it to achieve actual crispiness, they declined. While the rest of my meal was satisfactory, the subpar bacon fell short of expectations. Considering the menu's explicit description, I hoped for a more accommodating response.

Very tasty coca cola great staff!!🫡

Best croissant in Amsterdam, love dropping by for one and a cappuccino every morning before commuting.

Loved the cheese croissant there and very convenient location.

This concerns Volkslust Utrecht Centraal: Just had a very bad cup of coffee. Staff clearly did not receive proper instructions. I get coffee outside instead of at home to have a really good cup of coffee, and then this is very disappointing. Especially for an occasion that profiles itself as a specialty coffee shop.

Nice little spot for a quick snack on the go.

The staff member was very impolite, and the place was poorly organized. You need to go to the takeout area to find out what cakes are on offer before ordering at the table.

I had decent hopes for this place. I tend to walk past it often on my way to work and it seems like there’s always a line up at the counter. The baked goods and bagel sandwiches seemed appealing. I came and sat in the dining are with a warm smile and observing the staff and clientele. The coffee was good and my bagel sandwich wasn’t very flavourful but the bagel bread was nice. Not worth the price to be honest. What really affected me was the way the staff were behaving towards the customers. Very passive aggressive energy and behaviour. I have worked for many years in hospitality and this just wasn’t chill even in a rush. You talk to your waitress and she looks in the distance past the glass windows and when we did the payment I tried to say something nice to her and she gave my this passive aggressive glance and walked off. The gentleman who possibly is the manager doesn’t explain properly how to seating works to an elderly couple that obviously were trying to better understand if they were to be seated or waiting for their waitress. He was actually frustrated with them. The gentleman doing the counter to go payments would roll his eyes now and again at people. Guys I get it you’re not the happiest to be there but come on now. Have some decency with the clientele and treat others the way you want to be treated or just change jobs if you hate it that much please I beg you. I will not be returning.

Para empezar, el diseño interior y el mobiliario eran realmente elegantes y hermosos. El entorno con vistas al canal era muy relajante. La comida era absolutamente deliciosa. De todos los restaurantes en los que he cenado en todo el mundo, este es el mejor. Muy recomendable. Pareja de Irlanda.

This place’s to go menu is ridiculously overpriced. Go to one of the Albert Heijn stores at the station for half price and Albert Heijn keeps baking their croissants fresh all day long.

Very friendly staff. Hands down the best cappuccino I have ever had ! Lovely smooth taste with a chocolate note. Also had a spinach pastry - very nice. Perfect for the comfortable train ride 😀

I had a latte macchiato and a chocolate croissant here, both of which were decent. My husband, however, had a cappuccino alongside a croissant which he found quite dry and stale.

The food is okay but the staff is beyond rude. Wouldn't recommend to stop here.

Having baguette caprese for breakfast. Generous portion size for my. But the highlight is Hot Chocolate... very tasty.

The atmosphere is great for breakfast!

Best place and food in Amsterdam train station) Special thanks to the chef from Ukraine!!!! very tasty breakfast!!!! all the staff are very friendly and professional Highly recommend👌👏👏👏

Customers have to adapt to the staff. Because she doesn't speak a word of Dutch.

Got the salmon baguette and it was delicious and presented beautifully. Staff is super friendly as well.

Professional personnel and always helpful!

Easiest 1 in my life. Terrible staff.

Best caprese bagel i’ve ever had. It tasted so fresh. It was exactly what i needed. Also the coffee was amazing, also one of the best i’ve had. Prices are kind of expensive tho but it was worth it !!

Great facility and very nice staff, good place for breakfast. Great selection and everything was very tasty.

The staff are incredibly rude, the food isn’t good. It’s a cute space but the staffs rudeness ruin the atmosphere. Absolutely skip it.

Macht von außen sehr viel her, aber ich fand es nur mittelmäßig. Portionen recht klein, geschmacklich nichts Besonderes - der Kaffee hat mir sehr gut geschmeckt. Also kein unbedingtes Muß.

A cup of hot chocolate milk in the morning fills us with spirit

Delicious cappuccino, always made with a smile. And you can taste it!

Food was so dry and inedible. The staff seem more interested in having a conversation with each other than serving anyone.

Very rude staff. I have travelled to many to countries and when I dine in I always ask for my coffee in a takeaway cup. I did ask for my coffee in a takeaway cup and she refused to do so, and advised to just have it when I leave. Her manner was very very rude. Before that incident I saw her smelling very closely two coffee mugs before serving them to customers which I think is a health hazard. Will never go back again.
