La Chesa in Van Lennepbuurt

Wonderful service, food, atmosphere, and great price:) The woman making the food was incredibly kind

I went in to ask if I could use the restroom. A confused woman behind the desk said it cost €2.50 per person. I said: €2.50? Okay, I actually get that, right in the middle of the city. Then I handed over a €5 note and she said go ahead to the toilet, and you'll get your change afterwards. I said no, I'm not in a hurry, just give it to me right now so it can be settled immediately. She refused. She said: I have to get change with a wound on my finger, so that takes a long time. Nonsense... I said then I want to pay by card, that's easier. After a 20-second argument, I finally got my money back and went to withdraw cash. When I was done peeing, she said: you're welcome. I walked straight out. What a rude woman. I will never set foot in here again.

The Food was the best and the service was sooooo sweet it made our day

Ordered via Uber Eats, the order arrived quickly. However, the bagels are super chewy and not fresh. Very disappointing. They also look very different from what other people have posted here. I had the Everything bagel once (didn't taste like the Everything bagel) and a Random Chose once. Both were small and toasted bagels; they tasted old and chewy. Other people below have photos of a completely different bagel. I do not recommend ordering here. There are much better options in Amsterdam.

Truly the filthiest, most unhygienic place I have ever been to. There is literally a layer of dust on the bean machine that has been there for years. The coffee is too watery and is not a cappuccino as it should be. I mentioned that the coffee was way too watery, but nothing was done about it. The place is downright filthy; I wonder if the food inspection service has been here recently. Everything is dilapidated, old, broken, and worn out, and this place should have been closed down long ago. You can't find prices anywhere; you literally have to ask what everything costs beforehand. (Then you already know something isn't right.) They don't clean here. Or they last did it sometime around the turn of the century. Visited the toilet… I won't even start talking about it. I don't want to know how they handle the food here… Once and never again…

Single shot of espresso €3.50 at an Italian place, no price list either..

Nice, no-frills snacks, natural fruit juices, good waffles, a charming lady. Highly recommended. Expect to pay around 12 euros for a coffee, juice, and pastry.

Tasty classic bagels, lovely service

My latte was great, and had a lovely conversation with the kind owner. She made our morning on our first visit to Amsterdam.

I actually find €4 for a cup of tea too expensive. You can already feel that something isn't quite right when you sit down and there are no prices on the board.

The food was mediocre (the avocado was too watery, the chocolate milk was absolutely disgusting). The service was very friendly, though.

I come here every Monday when I have to wait for my next class at school. And it's always great here; the woman behind the bar is always super sweet. I always order the same things: American wrap, crispy chicken wrap, and salmon bagel. I recommend all three, and the coffee they serve is also delicious. I would definitely recommend stopping by, whether you're just passing through or if you're at the vocational college across the street.

Sofia's La Chesa is wonderful!! And, her friendly personality was a great way to start the day!! We shared a breakfast special #3 & added sun-dried tomato cream cheese. It was a perfect bagel with scrambled eggs & the cream cheese (extra charge) was the perfect complement!! Her orange juice was fresh squeezed and her coffee was smooth. Highly recommend!!

i loved this place, i took a simple cappuccino to go but the lady who served me was the sweetest. will come back 100%

the best coffee and bagels in amsterdam!!

Lovely little cafe with an attentive owner. Stopped whilst looking for a place to grab something light (Bagel) before an afternoon train - owner brought me out a few slices of watermelon on account of my little mascot

Came in as shelter from the rain with my girlfriend, had 2 espressos and an eel bagel (would recommend) had a cute Kitty sit in between us on the stalls and a lovely chat with the owner, all around amazing cafe

LOVE this place and look forward to visit again!! Nicest owner 😍

The owner is very nice and helpful. The Cappuccino was average and the raisin bun was day old. No wifi.

The woman who is working in the morning has terrible attitude. Also the place is a little bit unclean

Great Café with service that goes beyond what is expected.

My friend ordered coffee which the seller said 4€, charged him 11€ by “accident” and gave 1 banana bread as compensation, but dont give the money back

The club sandwich has nothing to do with a club sandwich. There shouldn’t be pesto nor scrambled eggs on a club sandwich. What should be on there is bacon not just tiny bacon pieces.

We came to this cosy cafe for breakfast all 3 days of our stay in Amsterdam because we were served so nicely by such a sweet woman. The salmon and scrambled-egg bagels on the breakfast menus were delicious too. Thank you so much

We stopped here by pure coïncidence and: what a surprise! The food is delicious, the coffee good quality and I’m not mentioning the perfect service. What a sweet lady. We’ll back for sure!

Wanted a coffe and toilet, the lady didn't even let me finish my question and told me I could not use the toilet. Pitty.

Pequeño y acogedor, pero la anfitriona es muy amable y la comida es muy sabrosa y es casero - hecho. Teníamos envolturas, que venía caliente con ensalada fresca crujiente dentro. Además, ¡prueba el jugo de naranja!

Nice ice coffee best in Amsterdam

A great coffee shop where people can sit quietly and eat and drink. The woman who runs it makes everyone happy and nothing is too much to ask. Simply a great place where, in addition to a nice cup of coffee or beagle or sandwiches, you are treated like royalty. As they say, the customer is king and that is what happens here

This is a very nice little place to get some coffee and breakfast. The bagel I had was very good and also the the Croissant with Omelette. I would recommend it very much. Also the prices are very good! Very friendly staff!

Really cozy atmosphere and Super friendly Staff. I felt right at home. Baked goods were also fresh and made with love.

Everything was dirty. The counter, the sink, the floor, etc. The sweet woman helped us with a cup of coffee but touched the edges of the cups with her hands. Given the state of her case, we threw the coffee away.

Beautiful authentic lunchroom. Apple pie is great! Friendly service

We've been coming here for years. They have delicious bagels and good coffee. But it is especially the extremely hospitable and sweet owners that make us want to come back here so much.

we love this place!! inside is very cozy and outside you can watch Amsterdam pass you by!

Cozy old diner, and normal prices. Very friendly lady, and what I found very important, she speaks Dutch. Nowadays you have to speak English everywhere, and then I prefer to walk away straight away. I recommend this business 😍

Super good I love the food and the owner is super nice.

I was looking for a place where I could sit, have a quick lunch, and use the toilets, and I stumbled on this little place, the menu looked good, and not very expensive for Amsterdam (which is rare!), the pita falafel was really good, with homemade falafels, everything was tasty and fresh, I also ordered an iced coffee to go even though I usually don’t drink coffee during the day and it was very good and refreshing on this warm day. The owner is very friendly. The toilets are clean. This is a place I will go back to next time I am in this area when visiting Amsterdam 😊

Small and causey place with excellent coffee and tasty bagels. The owner is really nice and mace you feel very welcome, almost as a family. We definitely will be back on our next visit to Amsterdam.

My friends and I ended up here during the crazy rain storm yesterday, and ordered coffee and hot chocolate! It is a cosy place for sure and will check it out next time for food. The staff was very friendly, patient and welcoming 💜

Schuilen voor een onweersbui onder het genot van hete chocolademelk en koffie. Vriendelijke eigenaresse met humor die bij vertrek de handen van onze kinderen volstopte met koek en snoep.

Very nice and kind lady served us very good Food. The food was comforting and she even gave us rest of the hot chocolate, when she made too much. 10/10

This place was SO good. The owner was extremely nice and gave us all extra chocolates because we loved the chocolate. The bagels were delicious and the whole experience was great! My friends and I are from the US and loved this place:)

Super pour un brunch : - Bagels avec des produits frais faits maison, super bons - Très bon Brownie - Pas cher du tout ! - Excellent accueil :)

Very sweet place where the Bagels is so good!

What a nice place, with a friendly and helpful staffer. The bagel sandwich was excellent, as was the falafel wrap. Highly recommend.

Perfect!!! Ik wil nooit meer ergens anders heen!

Nice place to stop after long walk. Double espresso, croissant, recharge and continue journey.

So happy to find a place that uses FRESH organic milk in the latte, not the boxed, shelf milk used by so many coffee cafes here in Amsterdam. Such a nice owner and the latte was delicious. Thank you for a perfect moment !

Delicious food! Amazing staff!! Can’t wait to come back again 😍

Such a nice lady and the iced coffee was amazing!

Super gezellig cafe, de koffie is lekker en het het heeft echt sfeer

Such a chilly place with a very friendly and sympathetic owner. Can only recommend it!

Een vriendelijke gastvrouw, lekker koffie, smakelijke tune bagel, winkel is beetje rommelig en oud en Kan klein beetje meer schoon. prijs - kwaliteit is ook beetje hoog.

Excellent Falafel (avec pain Pita), fait minute avec des produits super frais. La personne qui tient cette petite boutique est adorable, un vrai plaisir.

La Chesa is een warm bad, waar je steevast met' dag schat!' wordt begroet door de eigenaresse en je eigenlijk de hele dag wil blijven. Intussen lekker genietend van heerlijke huisgemaakte falaffel of een beagle. Neem de tijd, er wordt goed voor je gezorgd.

Top plekkie en hele lekkere bagels. Lieve vrouw en super service

We got pastries and a delicious coffee from the friendly owner. Good price. Could have done with a little music to liven the atmosphere.

Good location, coffee could have been better

Great quick lunch, amazing service!

Soheir is a great chef and a lovely lady! She also serves the best bagels in Amsterdam! 🥰

I loved it so much here! The sweetest woman who is very caring and makes the best falafel herself. Felt very wholesome sitting there and enjoying our lovely food and coffee. Really relaxing and so much positive vibes because of her.

Aardige eigenaresse en leuke plek om een kop koffie te drinken.

A cozy nest with an owner with an incredibly warm energy. I keep coming back, week after week.

The place is super cute and offers a wide choice of food and drinks. Especially the homemade ice-coffee was a killer. The owner, who is also the person working there, is extremely kind and hospital. A great choice if you want to have a morning coffee with a delicious bagel to start your day properly. :))

Take away lunch met cappuccino en frisdrankje. Super lieve dame hielp ons en gaf ons alles superfijn verpakt mee. Broodjes waren ècht bizar lekker. Aanrader!

Pequeño y lindo café con muchas opciones de menú. ¡El dueño es muy dulce y la comida deliciosa! Este es un gran lugar para comer algo, es la segunda vez que estoy aquí y volveré.

Pequeño lugar, gran menú. Tantos bagels, no puedo creerlo. Una verdadera dama lo maneja sola y hace un gran trabajo. Y no es que importe, pero es mucho más barato que un Bagels and Beans - joint.
