Kafe van Zanten in Wijk 01 Stadskern

Sat outside on the sidewall watching the world go by whilst enjoying a few beers and burger. Lovely service and great atmosphere

good vibes and cheap-ish coffee, food is more pricey, but nothing out of the ordinary in terms of the netherlands. great spot for cheap a coffee & snack

I mainly go there on the last Sunday of the month to play klaverjassen. What a cozy, sporty, relaxed atmosphere 👌

This was well worth the visit, a beautiful recess in the heart of Amersfoort.

The burger was really terrible, way overcooked, the meat didn't taste fresh, and the texture wasn't good either. I won't be coming back here to eat. The service was good and friendly.

Nice atmosphere and friendly people.

Cozy cafe, tasty beers on tap, friendly staff.

Cozy cafe with delicious toasted sandwiches! Plus, they were ready on Monday night with a bicycle pump to inflate my flat tire, at least until I got home! Great service. Thanks!

Delicious beer, and very good food!

Welcoming, good food and drinks, cozy atmosphere, nice interior, and Ties works there.

Very good, a nice place, definitely worth the effort.

Made a reservation for the "restaurant", apparently this is only theoretically possible. We were "seated" on the sidewalk of the pub next to a busy street. Don't say you're a restaurant if you're just a pub.

Good beer menu. Very good service.

Always grabbing lunch when we go to the city center, good and cozy.

It’s a great place at Kafé van Zanten. Having a bite and a drink with friends is a lovely experience there. A relaxed atmosphere with a crowd of young and old on the terrace or inside. Delicious snacks in between or a more elaborate meal in the restaurant. On the last Sunday of the month, you can also play klaverjassen there. Everyone is welcome, provided you know the game. A fun event every month. So come along.

Busy cafe with a wide selection of beers and where you can grab a good bite to eat. Not luxurious, but always cozy.

Nice pub; sitting on the terrace until late on a balmy Wednesday evening is no problem, so pure enjoyment. Apparently, the food here is also excellent. One star deducted for the draft beers being just a little too warm.

2026:update. A year later and the food, service and experience is still excellent. Same music tracks playing! Hits that I enjoy, so OK with that but what does it mean? Great cafe open late at night and good for a snack during the day.

The perfect place. Nice, unique spot with the friendliest staff. Good beer selection and tasty snacks.

A lovely traditional pub. You don't find many like that anymore. Delicious homemade pastries! Be sure to stop by for a drink if you're in the area. Friendly service. The price-quality ratio is good here 👍🏻

Had a delicious meal. Nice menu. Draft beers. Very friendly service.

Excellent waitress, good coffee.

I was already coming there 30 years ago for the atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious beers. And that's still true today. Age doesn't matter. Everyone from young to old comes here. Fantastic!

Good menu with something for everyone. The brie toast is delicious. Friendly service, and despite it being full (lunchtime), we didn't have to wait long.

Very cozy pub, although extremely busy on Friday evenings.

The food was decent: hot, fries crispy, and the toppings were just okay. The service was very polite, friendly, and helpful. It was just incredibly crowded, which made it difficult to have a normal conversation.

A very nice, friendly atmosphere created by the barmaid, what a gem.

Nice retro interior, nice beers and pleasant atmosphere, I was only there for one beer because I was passing through, but I will definitely go back, because a cafe is like a jacket and you quickly feel whether it fits you😉

Great service and staff. I only had a few drinks there, and the beer was fine. It was incredibly busy, though.

Great food and drinks! Friendly staff and delicious food! Worth it!

Very cozy pub, where you can get a cafe snack.

Wow. Take it easy, take your time, have a toasted sandwich as a snack, and you'll stick around. Just this.

Great place, simple but good food. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Friendly service. Great beer selection!

Enjoyed a delicious meal in a relaxed atmosphere.

The best pub in Amersfoort! A friendly team that caters to all your needs. Kafe hap (food) isn't difficult, but it's delicious! Want something a little more special? Reserve a spot in the restaurant; they offer more surprising flavors. Sometimes there isn't an empty table, but you're always welcome to join us and share a table. A very cozy atmosphere.

A cozy café in the heart of Amersfoort. The wait for the latte macchiato was a bit long, but that's why I got it for free!

Delicious dishes, great flavors. Pleasant, attentive service!

A really nice place with delicious food! Good value for money. The service was very friendly and personal, and the acoustics are great.

What a great idea, a grilled cheese sandwich with mushrooms. And chocolates. Yippie! I just didn't realize there was also a restaurant next door in the same building.

Super nice place and friendly service!

Friendly service, good beer selection and delicious food!

Cozy cafe, friendly and professional staff. Nice location.

We've had a few beers with family. Great selection, reasonable prices, and a pleasant atmosphere. Parents with little ones also come here during the day, but it's also quite civilized in the evenings. You can order snacks at the bar, and their restaurant is next door. We haven't eaten there yet, but I'm sure it's excellent. There are always customers, even outside on the sidewalk. We love coming here 😀

Small restaurant, reservations a must. Small menu which makes it easier to.make a choice. Excelent collection of beers.

We sat down for a coffee and a bite to eat after a walk around the city, everything was perfect, as was the service! We sat outside, but inside the shop is very beautiful and sets you up for something good! Of course everything is spotlessly clean inside and out and of course a perfect choice to sit and have a drink.

Super cozy café, nostalgic for anyone who has lived in Amersfoort for a long time. Excellent beer list, very extensive. The food in the café is delicious, and the adjacent restaurant is also recommended.

Great local pub, friendly locals and super friendly staff, even got to bring home a glass which is doing its job tonight!

No nonsense brown cafe, where you can also eat something. Always pleasantly busy

Very friendly staff. Terrace is atmospheric and in a nice place. It doesn't matter what time you come here, it always looks cozy and it is.

Ate a satay of chicken thighs. Delicious. Good service, good atmosphere, pleasant, friendly and enthusiastic employees, good music.

Superleuke en prettige bediening en hele mooie prijs kwaliteit verhouding voor heerlijk eten. Ook echt n gezellige plek, niet rumoerig en lekker ruim. Ik zou er zo weer heengaan!

A beautiful, cozy pub with a wide beer list!!!

Enjoy a weizen and IPA from the tap together with a plank of Van Zanten. Enjoy the way enjoyment is meant to be.

Nice Dutch brown cafe. Good selection of beers. Simple food. Eetkamer next to the bar is more bistro. Food is excellent

Always nice place to drink a cold beer, nice staff and amazing interior!

Very nice place with nice staff, good food and drinks and a cozy atmosphere. Always good to enjoy coffee in the sun here :)

Lovely, real pub terrace in the sun!

Very charming place, good food, very pleasant atmosphere and kind and attentive staff!

Great atmosphere, great food, beautiful decor. Here you will regain your faith in humanity, if necessary. The restaurant is also very good.

Dear Jacqou, Marte and all other employees (whose names I don't know yet), We have been loyal visitors to you for over 10 years. You guys are really great! Last night was my husband's birthday and you were so sweet to arrange a piece of cake for him. That made the party complete! So thoughtful! What I also like: I recently entered a cozy, full tent. I walked to the bar and told them what I wanted to drink and said: "I belong to that group". You said, "I already know that." How cool that you see all that. It makes me feel seen and that's great. And what I also really like is that you are not only a nice pub, but also organize more things such as discussion groups, bands that come to play or choirs that can perform. Many thanks! Once again: you guys are great! Love Saskia and Sander

Wat een gezellige plek. Niet op de 1e plaats door het warme interieur, maar vooral door de bediening. Kordaat maar ontwapenend, bijna vriendschappelijk. Kom ik niet vaak meer tegen, de laatste tijd. Een extra vermelding krijgt de muziek. Het hele ouvre van De Beatles werd op gepaste geluissterkte gespeeld. Zeer aangenaam. Vergeet ik bijna te vermelden dat de huisgemaakte GEHAKTBAL met brood en bijlage méér dan goed smaakte. Kortom..een plek om te onthouden.

Tasty food, surprisingly good, with friendly service. Recommended.

What a wonderful atmosphere in this pub

Cozy pub where you can play games, have a nice cup of coffee and eat delicious cake

Only had coffee. The music is very loud. I had trouble hearing the person next to me. Looks cozy and great service.

Always gazelle-worthy and a snack and drink are ready.

Place to be. More often from Zanten than not from Zanten

Had a really wonderful evening. They just have a new card that we really like. Price quality is top. The main thing that makes it a great place is the staff. Very friendly and service is top priority. Highly recommended!

Heerlijk eten, lekkere variatie en bijzondere smaken. Met een uiteenlopend gezelschap van uitgesproken carnivoren tot veganisten was er voor eenieder een goede keuze te maken en waren we allemaal heel voldaan.

Top cafe. Nice atmosphere and tasty beers. It's just a shame that there are no bitterballen and other brown fruit on the menu. But nevertheless it remains one of our regular bars in Amersfoort 😀

Visitamos este café muy popular después de la cena. Nos encontraron una mesa por el personal muy amable. Disfrutamos de un par de copas de cerveza belga que costaron 5 €. 20 el vaso. Hizo un muy buen final a nuestra noche.

Cozy bar with a nice atmosphere

Ik was een jaar of wat niet bij Van Zanten geweest. Nieuwe chef, nieuwe kaart. Ontzettend lekker gegeten. Verrassende gerechten, verfijnde smaak, mooi opgediend. Ruime keuze qua vegetarisch. De bediening was een verademing. Snel, aardig en attent. We hebben genoten!

The guys are very friendly, good food and drinks, and the local atmosphere is great. They always have a lively vibe inside and outside.

Best café in Amersfoort! Good music, very nice staff and - for a brown café - excellent cuisine.

One of the oldest and nicest bars in Amersfoort. Don't take my word for it, try it out... 😉

My second living room. Cozy, nice staff and great choice of beer on tap or bottle. Also great to eat.

Lovely atmospheric café with tasty café snacks and a varied range of mostly local beers. You will hardly find better service anywhere.

Wat een leuke ontdekking dit restaurant. Leuke ambiance. Vriendelijk en attent personeel. Kleine kaart maar voldoende voor de keuze. Smaakvol.

A nice spot for a relaxed coffee at a beautiful point in Amersfoort

A cozy cafe with friendly staff and fast service. The Caesar salad is delicious! I often eat this salad elsewhere, but this one at Kafé van Zanten is the best ever!!

Had delicious mussels with friends, unfortunately I didn't take a photo but it was great!

Always have the best food and drinks here. Van Zanten is a must visit bar and restaurant, plus the staff are amazing!

It is not without reason that it is a well-known café in Amersfoort! Cozy, cozy atmosphere, 11 beers on tap and many more in bottles, great service. Been there a few times and a few times it was too full to get in.

The food was delicious, many vegetarian options, the chef also came to tell us what was on the plate. Top! We ate in the restaurant part of the Kafe, which is a bit hidden on the side.

For when you want to go to a real pub with normal people, normal service and normal prices.

Great place in a beautiful city. Terrace dangerous but cozy close to the street

Delicious food with super attentive and friendly service. Beautiful and very tasty dishes, really great.

Perfect for a quick snack/beer stop if you're visiting the city. Very friendly service.

Bar/Pub, nice. Right price. Good food.

Everything you would expect from a cozy café!

Perfect place, works late, very friendly staff! Affordable prices 👍🏼

Got a shamrock in my Guiness - 5 stars 🤩

Ordered toasted sandwiches, not special. Service a bit chaotic. Wouldn't go back anytime soon

Delicious food, special flavors, good service, occasionally a bit of "noise" around us.

Nice pub with many special beers. Beautiful outdoor terrace, also heated when it is colder. In a beautiful place in Amersfoort.

Really that good! It was a long time ago but now a very different experience.

Café van Zanten ernaast… super leuk en gezellig café voor overdag n lekker bakkie en ‘s avonds een biertje aan de bar. Veel lokale in een leuke buurtkroeg. Verschillende bieren van de tap. De hamburgers zagen er ook prima uit als je nog gewoon wat wilt eten

Cozy cafe and nice restaurant. Friendly staff.
