Greenwoods Singel in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

I had breakfast here for the first time in Amsterdam and had such an amazing experience!

As a picky eater..I loved the food! The service could use a little work, but it was mainly bc of how busy the place is.

Pisanie I waited outside for an hour to get a table. When it was finally our turn, the waitress claimed that the people who had been standing behind us were first and gave them a table instead. She then sent us back outside to continue waiting in line. In the end, we never got a table and decided to go somewhere else.

We had a wonderful brunch yesterday at this gem. I had the Stroopwaffel pancakes. It was sinfully good. We also had the French toast which was really nice. The table next to us had the Royale Eggs and it looked great. This place is super cute and the staff was quite kind. Nice that it is not near all the tourist stuff too.

Kind staff and varieties of options, including some local ones. Meal was delicious!

I had the English Breakfast, everything tasted great. The bacon was very different from the bacon I eat in US, it is a must try.

The staff was super friendly and flexible with the sitting and bringing the orders. The food extremely delicious 🤤

We waited in line for a very short time, it was busy but still the staff were friendly and the food was 10/10.

We had such a great experience here! The food was delicious, the service was quick, and the coffee was absolutely amazing ☕️ The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. Both the waiter and the chef made us feel so welcome. You can really tell they love what they do! Highly recommend this place! If we’re ever back in Amsterdam, we’ll definitely come here again for breakfast!

Great atmosphere, wonderful food and coffee. Enjoyed the traditional Dutch breakfast.

We had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. Our order was delayed, while other tables that ordered after us received their food first. We also ordered coffee at the beginning, but it was served to us last. We ordered pancakes, and I specifically asked the waitress what they included to make sure I understood the dish. She clearly took our order, yet she later brought the bill and had canceled the pancakes without informing us or asking for our permission. The service was extremely unprofessional, and the way we were treated felt discriminatory. Orders were delayed without any regard for the order in which they were placed, and the staff showed a complete lack of consideration for their customers. I would not recommend this restaurant due to the poor service, unreasonable delays, and the discriminatory treatment we experienced.

The food at Greenwoods might be great, but unfortunately, I never got the chance to try it. I waited in line for over 40 minutes, only to be told right before it was my turn that they only accept cash. This is something customers should be informed about upfront, not after wasting so much time waiting. The place seems extremely popular, but the operational setup clearly struggles to handle the demand. Long queues are understandable, but poor communication and a lack of basic customer awareness are not. It’s especially frustrating to waste part of my last day in Amsterdam like this. I can’t comment on the food, but the overall customer experience was disappointing. Definitely not the impression I was hoping for.

Small and doesn't accept reservations, so you have to wait in line. The food is delicious, with a variety of sweet and savory dishes. Excellent coffee and very friendly service.

Excellent place to relax and enjoy a good meal. Great service, good music, and simple yet beautiful decor. All next to a canal that's a signature feature of the city. Sometimes there's a queue, but it's worth it.

Service by a Quebec native, super friendly, very good, super convivial... Not to be missed!

What a nice spot for breakfast/brunch/lunch. Despite the location, which looks very touristy (and naturally there are a large number of tourists inside, but that contributes to the relaxed backpacker atmosphere), it is a very cozy, clean, and nice place. The staff is exceptionally friendly and fun. The menu is very good and the value for money is fantastic! The food is delicious and it seems no wish is impossible. A super relaxed way to start your day in Amsterdam city center! I would love to come back here again!

Brilliant staff and amazing food

Honestly, I don't know what all the fuss and praise is about! Did we not get the right order? Or is it a scam? The truth is, I was forced to eat, and the dishes on the menu didn't suit my taste.

A really nice place for breakfast. The staff was kind and respectful. The breakfast plate was enough and coffee was tasty. totally recomended.

Delicious vegan food! The waitress was so friendly and nice. I couldn't choose between a vegan breakfast or the vegan special and I got the special on the recommendation of the waitress. So glad I did as it was delicious 🥰

We went for breakfast. The menu wasn't bad, but there are many more options in Amsterdam. The prices were a bit high. The food wasn't bad, but it wasn't excellent either. Also, the service was a bit slow.

It's a scam and a huge rip-off that they're promoting on TikTok. My advice is don't go there and waste your money.

Greenswoods Singel is located on the canal so offers an atmospheric experiemce. The menu offers a good range of options to suits broader tastes. The service was friendly and the good good standard. We selected this place on the understsnding it catered milk alternatives, but they do not do soy milk. otherwise it was a good spot to start your day in Central Amsterdam.

Very good brunch; the dishes were really good and beautifully presented. There was about a 30-minute wait for a table. A few minor issues with the service and the bill.

Great place. Love their scones. Have been coming here for so many years. Sitting outside is great toooo

Don't let anyone come with something disgusting or unclean; it's not good for our taste or our food.

A wonderful staff with big smile , nice food freshly made with big portions and variety of options, if there is booking I would recommend it as the place is so busy with a lot of customers we waited for 20 minutes to be seated the shakshokah was 9/10 the vagies 7/10 the stropwaffle was 10/10 a good brunch place

This isn't the first place my friend and I have eaten an English breakfast. But it was definitely very mediocre. The hash browns were just breadcrumbs with butter, and the omelette wasn't very tasty. Overall, it was so-so, although it seemed like there was nothing to screw up. We ordered pancakes and two English breakfasts. The waitress only brought one. It turned out she didn't realize we'd ordered two. It happens. But her reaction, like, it wasn't her problem, that she didn't understand, was not okay. Overall, we were also dissatisfied with the service. And sitting next to the trash can was so-so.

Very unfriendly. Don’t care about customers

Very tasty! I liked the homey atmosphere, the food was delicious, and the coffee was good too. Don't arrive too hungry 😄 because there's a line, but it moves quickly.

The breakfast is really nice, especially the hash brown

Had a lovely scone (super fresh) and fresh mint tea. Great service and beautiful view.

Really disappointing experience. I ordered the veggie dish and a cappuccino, the dish was served cold. The food was bland and completely lacking in flavor. Honestly, this restaurant is very overrated. Definitely not worth the hype.

Friendly service but stomach pain the whole afternoon. Nothing special about this full English breakfast. Not one to leave negative reviews but very disappointed by this over rating

The place is tiny. The water cups they brought for us were dirty, with lipstick stains. The food was very average; there are better places out there, and it's overpriced for nothing.

This food was absolutely delicious, perfectly balanced. Few ingredients, but oh so well prepared. The salmon was not too cold, so you could taste it, eggs mixed with cheese, yet with runny yolk… it is worth waiting a bit in line. Also the homemade lemonade was great, not too sweet and refreshing.

Super friendly, super delicious! We had breakfast there three times in a row.

Expect more but it was so good pancakes was delicious

Perfect cozy place for breakfast or bruch

Delicious breakfast options and lovely, friendly staff

We spent three days in Amsterdam in mid-August and regretted not having breakfast here on the first day. But we enjoyed two delicious breakfasts with poached eggs. We especially loved the sauerkraut version – it was a masterpiece! The bread and coffee were all delicious. We arrived early, around 9 a.m., and we were always able to find a table. The service was warm and welcoming, with a smile, creating a pleasant atmosphere for enjoying breakfast.

Very disappointing service. I was first in line while three tables were empty, so I sat down. I was then ignored while other tables were served. When I asked to order, I was told to go back and stand in line again. After I did, I was ignored once more, and the table I had been sitting at was given to other customers. I ended up leaving without ordering.

The food is delicious, but people are admitted according to the availability of tables, not according to a queue. This means people who arrived after us were admitted before us, and this happened more than once.

Lovely service from Monika! We really enjoyed the food and her beautiful smile. Thank you! ❤️

I tried the new Amsterdam and it was so delicious and full of flavor, the staff were friendly and very helpful, will definitely come again highly recommended!

Delicious food, great service, beautiful location.

A delightful, romantic, and quiet place for brunch or lunch. We had excellent eggs benedict and omelets, and delicious freshly squeezed juices.

Excellent breakfasts. Average price for breakfast (excluding drinks) €16. We spent a weekend in Amsterdam and ordered breakfast again. Very friendly service; you have to wait about 10 minutes for a table.

Absolutely delicious brunch. We had the French toast and the Amsterdam and both delicious. The chai latte dirty is amazing and the coconut latte is very good. Definitely found our new favorite brunch spot.

The food and service were amazing. Definitely coming back

the BEST breakfast I've had in Amsterdam! So cute and cozy with inside and outside seating! Great music and the food was amazing! From traditional English breakfast, eggs Benedict and sweet fluffy pancakes! There's something for everyone! The service was amazing as well. Our beautiful server Andrea was so attentive and made sure our orders were exactly how we wanted! Don't pass by this amazing restaurant!

The perfect place for the perfect breakfast/lunch. The food was amazing and the service Andrea did to us was fast, friendly and profesional

We came for brunch and WOW!!!!! The best BLT I’ve ever had!!!! The service was the best I’ve had in Amsterdam Andrea was so attentive and made sure everything was perfect! The presentation of the food was amazing! We waiting a brief time in line to get a table but it was worth every minute! Don’t pass up this hot spot!

Delicious food with friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Had a great time, and the pancakes where just incredible.

This place is A MUST! Very delicious and friendly!

Empty tables and they're not taking customers

Greenwoods is seriously overpriced for the experience you actually get. The view might be nice, but it’s completely ruined by the fact that you’re often seated next to overflowing, foul-smelling dumpsters. Garbage is left piled up on the ground, and this isn’t a one-time issue — it seems to happen consistently. It’s honestly shocking how poorly waste is managed here. Not only is it unpleasant for paying customers, but it’s also disrespectful to neighboring shops and residents, with trash left right in front of entrances and apartment doors. For a place that charges these prices, this level of hygiene and consideration is unacceptable. Really disappointing.

Best breakfast I had in Amsterdam

The atmosphere matches the service and the enjoyment of the food. The waitress (without glasses, dark hair) didn't say hello or even greet us. The prices were quite high, especially since everything on the menu is ordered individually. Two plates of pancakes with banana, two cappuccinos, and one orange juice: €55. The waitress placed the card reader with a 10% tip already applied...

Located in the center of Amsterdam, it offers a beautiful view, great food, and fast service.

The experience was absolutely brilliant. From the service provided by Claudia, Andrea and all the waitresses to the quality of the food. If you’re looking for healthy, gluten-free options and so on, this is the place for you. I felt very comfortable throughout the meal. I’ll definitely be back. :))))))

The food is mid, but the service is not great when it comes to some waiters, if you go to this place make sure you look at the waiters making the drink as they always accidentally drop mint on the floor and then put it back in your drink and then accuse you of being the bad person for speaking up about your drink being possibly filled with bacteria from dirt on the floor. Wait times are long spaces are crammed in my opinion this place is overrated. I would also not risk eating their again as I don’t know how much cross contamination is happening in the kitchen after seeing what they do to their drinks

Nothing Exceptional.. I heard that they’re serving a good english breakfast but they don’t. Unfortunately, my experience with the host was very disappointing. She was consistently rude, unwelcoming, and had an unfriendly attitude.

Greenwoods absolutely nailed breakfast. 🍳🥓 I ordered the Cacio e Pepe Eggs Benedict (minus the portobello, with bacon added), and I honestly wasn’t expecting it to taste this authentic. It took me right back to Italy—rich, peppery, cheesy, and hands down one of the best breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. And whatever you do… don’t let the line outside scare you away. It’s worth every minute of the wait—and then some. If I’m ever back in Amsterdam, this will be my first stop. 🇳🇱❤️

Simply fantastic. Delicious food in generous portions, super friendly service, great atmosphere with good music and a great vibe. You have to wait a bit, but it's manageable. And in return, you get a delicious breakfast (we were there around noon).

This spot will not disapoint you!

I must say, the setting near the canal is beautiful. The breakfast options are varied; we went for the New Amsterdam Benedict and the muffin with the hash brown—delicious. The service was good, though somewhat limited; it seemed like they were understaffed. My only recommendation is that they offer a barista course. The coffees weren't good; you couldn't tell a latte from a cappuccino, and the milk wasn't properly frothed—it should be smooth, not bubbly.

Terrible experience. Even though there were plenty of empty tables, we waited in line for over two hours. After we were seated, we still had to wait a long time because no one came to take our order. The service was extremely slow and disorganized. It felt like they didn’t care about their customers at all. I definitely do not recommend this place. Save your time and go somewhere else

Great place to start the day off right 😁 Very good and the location is fantastic!

Food was very nice Service was very good

Food was very good. Not the best one I have ever had but still very good. Price is okay and service was very friendly

We had great lunch here. People here are very nice. Enjoy the vibe here

The stroopwaffel pancakes is a must ! What a plate❤️❤️❤️❤️🫡🫡🫡

Great staff ,perfect food ,nice view ,strongly recommend !

The smoothies and Amsterdam Benedict eggs very tasty. You will probably have to wait for a table in our case it was around 15-20 minutes. I didn’t liked the part with the card payment as they said it’s not working properly and we will need to wait 7-8 minutes for a restart. Hopefully this is not a trick to make people make cash payments. :)

The coffee was delicious, but the breakfast was even better.

Here in the Netherlands for the first time and the food has been amazing. Sat outside on canal. Lovely neighborhood.

Too long of a wait for eggs and toast !

A great breakfast spot. We went early. Most of the tables were empty when we arrived. A queue started forming after half an hour. I had the vegetarian breakfast, it was excellent. My wife had the New Amsterdam Eggbenedict and she liked it very much. Their coffee was also good.

The advice from AI did not fail.

A must try if your looking for breakfast,but get there early.

Fantastic breakfast. The service was really friendly and quick. The menu offers a good selection, and everyone should find something they like. I can definitely recommend the poached egg "Amsterdam." I haven't had anything so delicious in a long time. In my opinion, the lemonade is a bit overpriced. A little over €20 for a small glass is almost outrageous for what you get.

What a lovely spot on the Singel. The atmosphere here is incredibly nice, and the view of the water really completes it. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The carrot cake was fantastic and beautifully presented with a subtle layer of cinnamon on the plate. Everything was taken care of down to the last detail and tasted very good. I will definitely come back here again.

May have to wait - but definitely worth it! Amazing food and friendly , relaxed atmosphere!!

Absolutely delicious breakfast and the staff were so friendly! They were slammed with a continuous queue yet the food was fast, wonderful quality and the staff were so calm and attentive. I’m so impressed! Would definitely come back! The chefs were good fun too when I thanked them for my food! This place is hella busy but absolutely delicious!

A wide variety of eggs are available, and they're all delicious!

AMAZING place! Came here during a layover from the airport for a quick canal walk and brunch. You’ve gotta come here. And the signature Benny is incredible.

The food was delicious, especially the shakshuka, and the atmosphere was lovely, especially Hamed. A thousand thanks to him!

Excellent breakfast, great atmosphere, a very respectful Egyptian waiter named Hamed.

Amazing food, excellent service, empathic people! I recommend ❣️

Amazing breakfast spot. Eggs made perfectly, fresh bread, and coffee with a serene view!

Delicious and well made brunch options, but very popular so be prepared to wait for a table

This is an excellent place to have breakfast if you are in Amsterdam. There was a good choice as long as you like eggs. The food we had was beautifully cooked and very tasty. This place isn’t very big even with the outside seating. It is very popular so get there before 9am if you want a seat straight away otherwise you will need to queue. Worth the wait though. Staff were friendly and efficient, which is great to see as they were constantly busy. If you get a chance, it is well worth eating here.

We visited this place but ended up leaving. We sat at our table for about 30 minutes and asked three times if we could place an order, but we were completely ignored each time. The lack of service was very disappointing and left a poor impression. Unfortunately, we cannot recommend this place based on our experience.

Chicken quesadillas excellently seasoned. Pancakes and sweets smelled amazing even though I didn’t get my try. Jeez Louise I will be coming back. I could eat here everyday. English breakfast looked amazing too everything perfectly cooked, smoothie was citrusy and refreshing. Amazing restaurant amazing staff 10/10 I would suggest.

There are few tables, so you might have to wait a bit, but it moves quickly. The service is nice, and the breakfast is average. I liked the beans; they were delicious.

We were forced to stand in line despite the presence of empty tables, but it seems like a deliberate tactic to attract people by creating the illusion of a crowded place. Even if you're first in line, you'll have to wait at least five minutes before they tell you to sit down, even if the table next to you is empty. As for the food, it's good, and they have options to suit everyone.

Great place for brunch! We had the french toast and the Cacio e pepe Benedict it was really great!

Amazing little cafe but the star of the show is Veronica who is so happy and chatty. Someone who loves their job and makes your experience the best. Would definitely return!

I came here with my three best friends and we absolutely loved it! The food was incredibly delicious and everything tasted fresh. I would definitely recommend coming early, because otherwise you might have to wait around 15–20 minutes for a table. Smoking isn’t allowed on the outdoor terrace, but that’s completely understandable since it could disturb other guests. Other than that, everything was amazing and I would definitely come back!
