Exki in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

Cappuccino in July 2026 was good.

The cashier is very unfriendly Big mouth because I asked why I wasn't getting my coffee along with my cookie Rude, then she wanted to have a whole argument with me and I started chanting Arabic at her colleague while I understood everything

I had a fantastic experience at Exki Gare Amsterdam. The food was fresh, tasty, and served quickly, making it a perfect stop before catching my train. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere was clean, relaxed, and comfortable. Overall, it was a great place to enjoy a healthy meal, and I would definitely come back again

It was late, so the food selection was limited. I bought a sunny juice and a slice of pie today. Unfortunately, they didn't have a good cheese salad. They only accept credit cards. When visiting Amsterdam, you really don't need to exchange too much cash. I recommend this place to those who like healthy food. There's a beautiful sea view from the back of the station; you can relax and enjoy the view.

Dirty all over: tables, chairs, floor. No good service (I had to clean my table). I-dont-care staff.

A good option for eating or having a light drink ☕️ before traveling 🚂 🚍.

The buffet-style selection is delicious 😋.

The products are pretty good, and the ambiance too. It's just that the service is faster one time than another. Sometimes people want to catch a train....

Very disappointing experience. I was next in line, but the cashier was already mixing up orders. Then, when my coffee was finally being prepared, it was given to someone who ordered after me. There was no sense of urgency to correct the mistake, and I eventually had to leave without my coffee due to time constraints. When I asked for a refund, it was processed, but accompanied by unprofessional and mean remarks in Dutch — which, unfortunately for them, I understood. Overall, the service was disorganized, the staff appeared rude and unprofessional, and the experience was genuinely unpleasant.

Unfortunately, after months of waiting for the white soup bowls, not a single soup bowl is to be found at Exki. There is soup daily, but there are still no soup bowls. How much longer? Why are the white soup bowls still not available? There is soup daily at Exki. But unfortunately, still no soup bowls to be found here at Exki. Also, the fact that Exki still doesn't have a toilet is unacceptable. If you are sitting here eating at Exki and need to go to the toilet, you are asked to go to the toilet next to the Albert Heijn to go, where you have to pay €1.10 for a visit to the toilet, while it is a big dirty filthy mess there every day. It is so filthy there that you don't dare go to the toilet because of the filth that takes place there daily. Why does Exki have no toilet? Now it is really ridiculous that if you need to go to the toilet during dinner at Exki, you have to go to the Sanifair toilet and now have to pay 1.10 euros for a visit to the toilet there. And the white soup bowls still haven't been put back at Exki. How much longer will it take before The white soup bowls are still not back. How much longer will it take before they are finally back? Where have the white soup bowls gone? There is soup daily, but unfortunately, there is still not a single soup bowl to be seen here at Exki. Where have the white soup bowls gone? There is soup every day but unfortunately there is still no soup bowl to be seen here at Exki Unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately Exki still has no soup bowls Unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately Exki still has no soup bowls Unfortunately, unfortunately, unfortunately Exki still has no soup bowls There is soup daily but there is not a soup bowl to be seen here at Exki Unfortunately, Exki still has no soup bowls there is soup daily but still no soup bowl Still no soup bowl to be seen here at Exki There is soup but unfortunately there are still no soup bowls Unfortunately in the new year 2025 still no soup bowl to be seen here at Exki There is soup but unfortunately there are still no soup bowls Still unfortunately no soup bowl to be seen here at Exki There is soup but unfortunately there are still no soup bowls My message translated into English for Exki's foreign employee Unfortunately, there is still no soup bowl to be seen here at Exki. There is soup, but unfortunately there are no soup bowls. Still no soup bowls to be found here at Exki. Where are the white soup bowls these days? If I want soup, I am looking for the white soup bowls. Just to be clear, paying €5.50 for eating soup in a disposable container in a restaurant is really ridiculous, so that's not going to work out for him. Could the employees of Exki please leave all dishes out until 8:00 PM? So please do not start clearing everything away before 8:00 PM. Thank you in advance for this. Things are going badly at Exki Amsterdam at Amsterdam Central Station Unfortunately, dishes that are normally supposed to be sold are unfortunately no longer being sold Such as sweet / savory dishes Quiche and Soup It is very unfortunate that the assortment is declining and that soon we won't have anything left at all Toilet only for Staff Employees? Where can customers go to the toilet? The EXki staff just sends you to the toilet in the IJpassage Where you have to pay for a toilet visit again. Besides, you aren't going to leave the place if you haven't finished eating yet.

Quite expensive even for Amsterdam - have to collect own food so cannot say anything about service. Overall it seems quite run down - couches are falling apart. Does NOT have a toilet for its customers.

I ordered a macha latte at a café. The waitress poured a maximum of one teaspoon of green liquor into the bottom of the glass, then topped it up with milk and served it to me. The result was just milk in a glass. I asked her what she had made and served me, and that it wasn't matcha, but milk. I refused to drink it. The portions of the dishes offered at the café have been reduced by at least a third. The café itself smells of sewage. Horrible.

The only thing was nice about this place it's atmosphere, other than this forget about it, the coffee is okay, but the main probably was the food, neither the Cake nor the food tasted good and with high price (again I don't mind paying a high price, but I'm expecting something in return, good and delicious food) however I couldn't find anything comparing to the prices, and I've tried it twice in order not to be harsh, but sorry I'm very disappointed

Cheap, feels like a supermarket (mostly pre prepared ) specialiced for a little quick snack (pastry, fruits , dessert) and drinks of all sorts. Not to bad for a quick or long sit/wait eating with only a simple cheapish consumption. The atmosphere is metropolitan within the central railway station with a view on the harbour.

Cute coffee and bakery place to stop by! Staff is kind and helpful. Vibe of the coffee is somehow peaceful even though its in the main station. Prices are okay.

The place where i love to have breakfast each time i come to Amsterdam

Super friendly service from a tall woman with long hair! And the food was delicious :-) Definitely recommended.

Nice place, but I didn't buy anything.

The coffee was delicious, but my chicken mustard sandwich was truly awful. I don't often write negative reviews, but I'm writing this one in the hopes that the feedback will be helpful. The sandwich had so much mustard it felt like a whole jar had been poured over it, and the chicken was nowhere to be found and was completely mixed in. So you couldn't even remove the mustard yourself... it was so spicy that I had to stop eating several times and drag it towards my nose. It's a shame, because the bread itself was deliciously crispy. I would recommend putting more chicken or vegetables on the sandwich and a lot less mustard.

I asked the guy with a butterfly tattoo on his neck if there was milk in the hot chocolate, because I'm intolerant. He rudely replied, "Of course there's milk in hot chocolate. Have you ever seen a hot chocolate without milk?" I didn't want to believe it. Did he really answer me like that? Maybe the guy doesn't know that 1. intolerances exist, 2. there are hot chocolates without milk, 3. there are different types of milk, like soy, rice, oat... Maybe he should learn the theory of the profession before dedicating himself to the practice.

Good coffee, good prices, and comfortable seating. Quite unusual for a station.

A good place for an international and even Dutch breakfast. The croissants and various pastries are delicious, and the coffee is excellent. The staff is very friendly, and some even speak Italian. The atmosphere is beautiful, and the view of the river is spectacular.

The best breakfasts in Amsterdam Highly recommended

Best blueberry muffin of my life oh my god!!!!!! I’m not one to do reviews but I had too. Great coffee too and quick kind service

I met my friend here for lunch and oh, what deliciousness! The quiche was thick and flavourful, fresh mint tea is my favourite and there were so many more things I didn’t have room to try! The staff were lovely, friend and cheerful! The only downside is it is self service that doesn’t work if you use a wheelchair.

THE MOST FUCKING CRAP, COFFEE THAT I'VE EVER DRINK, THE PRICES ARE TERRIBLE, PEOPLE ARE FAKELY SMILES, THE MAIN THING IS NOT TO BECOME THE SAME! FULL OF HOKEWARE, DON'T GO HERE

Good breakfast with a croissant and cappuccino combo for €5. Excellent cappuccino. Very central location.

The restaurant is nice and you must visit it. The team is very helpful.

Cheap, feels like a supermarket (mostly pre prepared ) specialiced for a little quick snack (pastry, fruits , dessert) and drinks of all sorts. Not to bad for a quick or long sit/waiteeting with only a simple cheapish consumption.

Ordered four coffees. Two very rude ladies acted as if we weren't welcome. We wanted to drink coffee there, but a man behind the bar told the ladies to serve the coffee in mugs instead of cups. It wasn't a big deal, but it was a bit odd, because other customers were getting cups. Then I tried to pay cash, but that wasn't allowed. That was fine, but a customer after us was allowed to pay. It was all very strange.

Terrible service. The girl who served us was very rude. She responded rudely and insultingly to all the customers while we were there having breakfast. The chocolate cake was delicious. The coffee was average.

A typical station bar, but with very poor service. The blonde waitress speaks very rudely. Average coffee shop with industrial pastries.

Located at the station, it's busy. You can get various lunch/breakfast options, such as soup, sandwiches, and pastries. The prices are quite high, as this seems like one of the many "trendy" places. For example, a pastel de nata (small Portuguese pastry) costs 4 euros... 4... where you pay 1 or 2 euros elsewhere. The sandwiches are pre-packaged but tasty and reasonably fresh. I didn't try the soup, but it looked good. The coffee is also good, but a bit more expensive than elsewhere.

I love coming to Exki and always feel happy when I see Shilan at work. She passionately prepares my coffee and takes the time for a friendly chat.

Delicious coffee. The cake came out of the fridge and was delicious. The tables were dirty.

My son and I stopped here for a break. He wasn’t feeling well, and they went above and beyond to help us, and kept an eye on him while I went to retrieve our luggage from our hotel. The cappuccino was perfect. So very grateful for such warmth and kindness to strangers!

Good place to have a coffee and charge your phone before continuing your journey. Beautiful view of the canal. Recommended

High prices, poor service and poor quality food

Barista with a butterfly tattoo, thank you for such a beautiful and delicious coffee!

One of the best places in the area to have breakfast. Healthy options, value for money

Butterfly Barista made me one of the prettiest and yummiest cappuccino's I've had in awhile.

Great place for breakfast or a snack. A variety of desserts and dishes. Reasonable prices. Fast service.

The girl with the black hair that did our coffee was so rude. We ordered for two large Americano and she told us that she already has given us the second large coffee even tho she gave us a regular one. She never admited it and was very rude about it.

I was looking to spend a couple of hours before a train and it was perfect. The prices seemed pretty good to me, you choose what you want and pay for it, without any surprises at the end. The taste was very good, portions adequate and the staff was very friendly and gracious.

A good place to have a nice drink. they have friendly staff

I had an incident. It was 7 pm when I placed coffee order for 4 people. As we wanted to spend a good time after a long day , my wife asked a coffee lady to give the coffee in the cutlery cups and not in paper cups. The coffee lady said very rudely," are you going to clean the cutlery cups?". My wife froze. She still asked if it's possible to give the coffee in the cups. The coffee lady again said, " Tell me if you are going to wash the cutlery, then I will give the cutlery". This is extremely rude. If there are timing constraints, one can say it's store closing time. Although there was 1 whole hour to store close, still the coffee lady chose to handle this request in such a rude way. In nut shell: 1. Worst experience from the lady. 2. Our experience and wish to have a good time was ruined. 3. We don't pay to get insulted but the service or food order that we want.

Good matcha latte and even better service!

Tasty and refreshing. Vegan options are amazing. Staff is very friendly

Received a bowl that was a day too old today. „Te gebruiken tot …“ means „edible before …“. Really easy concept, yet apparently not easy to grasp for the people working today. Only found out once I‘d taken it home. The bowl smelled and tasted like it was a lot more than just a single day past its best-before. Cauliflower is not supposed to taste fermented unless you set out to make fermented/pickles cauliflower, for goodness sake. I doubt the one bite I took would be enough to make me sick, but you never know 🙄 I can bring this bowl by tomorrow in case you don‘t believe me, Exki. That way you can smell it yourself. That is, if your rude employee decides to hear it.

We were made to feel wonderfully welcome upon our arrival in Amsterdam. The team was warm and professional. It was the perfect way to start our stay!

The WORST SERVICE AND EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE IN AND OUT OF EUROPE. The staff is RUDE 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼racist! They didn’t let me charge my phone.

Pretty decent coffee and matcha (actual matcha, no sugary powder mix) last time I had a drink there. As a matter of fact, I just might go and get a matcha there tonight 🍵 Also a great place to go pick up Too Good to Go, depending on who’s working that night. The food is pretty good, lots and lots of vegetables and not more expensive than other restaurants. I like the attitude of most employees here. I really have nothing negative to bring up about this place 🤷‍♂️

Best quality coffee in Amsterdam Central Station. Friendly staff like Chouaib, who greets you every early morning with a smile!

Great Macha Oat Latte made by Chouaib with service and a smile !!

Very good coffee with reasonable prices!!

Great atmosphere and nice staff! The matcha lattes are great!

Needed a place to work while waiting for a colleague to handle a meeting before we flew back to the UK. Chilled place, food and coffee were great! Butterfly Guy prepared this oat milk masterpiece and was very hospitable.

Delicious espresso and a great warm place to stay while you're waiting for your train.

The baristas are really nice and polite

Very bad treatment from the woman who makes the coffee. They should teach her not to be rude to customers in case there is any misunderstanding. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone coming to Amsterdam Central Station.

Delicious food and drinks. Comfortable place at the central station. There are electrical outlets and a beautiful view over the river 'het 'ij' There is no toilet, which is a shame. And the staff is usually not very friendly, but it depends on who is there. I find the level of friendliness of the staff very important, which is why I only give it 2 stars.

Great various options of sweet and salty bakeries, salads and ready meals Good choice to sit and wait at Amsterdam Centraal

Picked up a chicken rice bowl. Paid 12 euros for undercooked rice. Unedible. Very disappointed.

Good location. Variety of pastries and different types of brioche sandwiches and salads. Quick attention.

The workers are very rude, I do not advise anyone to visit the place, the way they talk to customers is very shameful 👎

Place is ok. We ordered Coffee Americano and Latte Macchiato, they both tasted super bitter and watery.. you’ll feel you’re drinking burnt coal soaked in boiled water. Service is absolutely trash. The barista talked to us as if he was on his period. Never come back again to such a café. I definitely don’t recommend it to anyone visiting Amsterdam.

I think the variety of options is nice. The atmosphere is also very cozy and neat.

Good food and incredibly sweet, quick and helpful team working there... I will definitely come back!

They sell a 20 bag of chips grams for 3 euros (!!) each. The sandwiches are also sparsely filled.

Quiches are very good in themselves, but €6.50 might be a bit much. Otherwise it's quite nice.

Cute and Cooconing !! The food is very good and the service is perfect

Good fresh cappuccino and conviviality Exki central station amsterdam.

Yesterday i went there to grab a quick coffee while i was on my way to work. The brunette girl making coffee was very rude and didnt know the basics of hospitality. Also the coffee was too watery and didnt had much taste. The place good from outside, but once u go inside it has a lot of problem

This place has the best coffee of the Amsterdam train station, but unfortunately also slow service. I would recommend the management to train the staff better on time management. After all, you are located in a train station where every minute counts. The person taking my order went on a break, in stead of helping the other colleague to make the coffees at the 2nd machine. Although I paid, I had to leave the venue after waiting 5 minutes, without my espresso, to catch my train.

We got some iced coffee. Unfortunately, we thought it would be latte macchiato iced as we asked, but we got plain coffee instead and this was way too bitter even with the 5 packs of sugar we had in it. I eventually went back to get some milk as they didn't have it out and the employee was kind enough to give me some. The milk definitely made it better, but the coffee was definitely not how we expected it to be. Exki is located in the station near the entrance to the train and under the busses. There is also a bathroom nearby, the store itself doesn't have one.

Food is quite tasty, but the sandwiches are really sparsely filled 🥲. Food + drinks easily cost more than 10 euros per person.

This coffee shop located back of AMS Central the newly area, best view, we took break and ordered Cappuccino hot and cold along with Piadina sandwich, the seating arrangement is comfortable, and resturant located near to washroom. the coffee was good, no complains..

Yesterday we were served by a very rude blond girl who clearly didn’t want to be there and thought she would pass her frustration on clients. Where did decent service go?

Fastfood for hipsters. Staff only seems to speak English. Not really a problem but it's just kind of weird, being a Dutch retailer in the Netherlands

I ordered a coffee on rocks and it was to awful. Dispit the high price that I have paid for my drink, It looked super cheap and I didn’t even get anything to seal it from the top. I did not even get a straw.

Very friendly staff and fresh, quality food

Excellent bar for breakfast, there are different types of croissants, cookies, you can serve yourself. Friendly and dynamic staff. They offer hot and cold drinks. Even the environment, despite being in the station, is calm and modern. Very good cookies

Absolutely horrible system to serve the coffee. They just ask what you want then ask you to wait with a bunch of people on the side to be served. Problem is that they don’t ask to form a queue, show a receipt, or give your name. It’s just a free for all and you have to fight others who asked for the same drink as you, regardless of who actually came in first. The person serving the coffee was also quite rude to a lady who asked about her order and then made fun of her later with her coworker. I saw the whole thing going down since I’m writing this while still waiting on my drink as I’m sure an old lady took mine. Please change this way of ordering as it’s clearly not working at all and it just stresses everyone unnecessarily.

Good selection of food, delicious cappuccino, train station prices. Nice view. No cash payment...

Great grab and eat. Hot and cold food. Freshly prepared. Hot soup was delightful. Delicious food constantly being changed. Indoor dining where you can watch people and the canal. Right near elevators that go down to the Metro. Inside the main complex. Staff was very helpful.

EXKI is a convenient place where you can have meetings. You can get delicious coffee and treats like breakfast, muffins, and juices.We have made it our regular biweekly meeting spot. Simply because it is convenient for both of us, and we no longer have to leave the station to look for a suitable cafe.

Lots of healthy, tasty food options. I had yogurt, quiche, banana, and tea. Staff was friendly. Place was clean. Prices very reasonable.

Best cappuccino there is in Amsterdam. Tasty special snacks, vegetarian and with meat. Quiche with spinach cheese, a kind of pie with/without meat, a kind of calzone pizza, pumpkin and carrot soups and cold sandwiches such as caprese. Ginger and mint tea. These are the tastiest things. Good to excellent service and stable audience. Free fi.

Great option for healthy eating. It has vegetarian options as well as salads and smoothies. Hot drinks are also very good.

Super tasty but quite expensive and the salad doesn't come with a dressing, you have to pay extra for it which I didn't understand so I have a salad without a dressing 🫣

Miserable service, cashed in and forgotten, the whole shop got their coffee before us. Mega confused cashier. 2 barristas at the machines but only one is working even though there are 20 people in line. For that price I can also go to Starbucks...

Luv this place since I stepped in. The best soups ever - I’ve tried them all and everything’s amazing. It helped me recover when I was sick and will be missing this place when I get home to nz.

Went here whilst waiting for my train, and was very disappointed by the coffee they served, for both me and my friend. The food was okay at best, a bit stale and dry, but edible. If the coffee didn’t taste burnt, and if the frappe actually tasted like a frappe I’d be satisfied. Very disappointed also by the service of the staff, everyone seemed so bleak! The atmosphere was the best part, great lighting and warm in-door dining.

I recommend this place for quick meals between trips. They have several options (hot or cold) with good prices for Amsterdam. The staff was kind. The food is tasty, and it's great to have healthy alternatives! The views were great, too!

Go-to place for a coffee or hot chocolate whenever I'm at central :) ❤️

As organic that they are, they don't have any vegan options, it’s overpriced, the matcha was made wrong and wasn't mixed right, I had bunch of clumps inside

While I taste a pie, an employee makes the window next door with the smell of the product a real treat. I don't think I'll set foot in this place again, although it's comfortable. Bye Bye.

We entered the restaurant and... nothing happened. The employees did not bother to look at us or respond to us. So we went elsewhere. I also point out that their answer in the comments about the toilets that they "are not allowed to install" seems false to me: other restaurants in the station have them!

I already knew Exki from Belgium and I have also eaten there in The Hague. Surprising and healthy range of delicious meals, snacks, desserts and drinks. The restaurant is located at the station. Ideal for quickly picking up something and eating it on the train. Since I had a long train ride ahead of me, I took a quiche, chicken poke bowl and a piece of banana pie. Very tasty! The banana cake is my favorite and super creamy. The rest also tasted good and nice and fresh. Not cheap but definitely worth it for the quality.

A nice,place,guite,good people work staff, no so expensive as I expected,seriously a beautiful place and are
