LUCY'S in Burgwallen-Nieuwe Zijde

Genuinely one of my favourite little spots in amsterdam, whenever we get into the city I always swing by Lucy's on the way to the hotel, serves extremely good quality food/cakes and does fantastic drinks both hot and cold, would highly recommend!

Honestly the best ice tea I’ve ever had, just a bit expensive. This is the medium (largest size) and it was 7.50 euro and looks like a 12-16 oz cup which ice and slices of lemon take up some of that so I finished the drink almost immediately. Super delicious and refreshing, just wish the price was lower- I would have loved to have purchased a second but I simply cannot spend nearly $20 USD on 24ish ounces of ice tea 🥲 good AC so a cool spot to sit for a bit to refresh

This purchasing experience was Wonderful 🎉

The drinks are refreshing, and the sweetness is well balanced! We had one iced lemonade and smoothie (mango and banana) Also the staff were kind 💗✨

With good reason, they don’t display prices anywhere when you enter the store, because they are unrealistically expensive. We paid €12.50 for a small cup of strawberries covered in chocolate — a price for which we could have bought a proper meal. The quality of the packaging and what you actually get in no way justifies such a high price.

I've been to this bar in Amsterdam, but unfortunately, I had a bad experience with the staff. I'd clearly stated that I didn't speak English, and the waiter and a colleague started making fun of me, which was truly unprofessional. The products, however, are good and high-quality. It's a shame, because with a more respectful attitude, everything would have been much better.

Don’t think it’s called Lucy’s. Now Sofie’s Bakery.

More than 12 euros for a tasteless cake with only mousse inside and no filling, very expensive 😏

Way too overpriced. I paid for the coffee and cake 20€. It was ok, but with that price I would hope for more.

The food was good, but excessively expensive. The prices of the cakes aren't visible. €9 for a slice of cake… €5.50 for a cappuccino served in a plastic cup…

There is a large selection of cakes. A very nice and friendly barista. It's a cute and cozy place. Thanks, I'll be back later!

What a disgraceful tourist trap. We were charged €30.51 for two matchas and one simple pastry, even though the prices on the sign were clearly different. Pure deception. When we pointed this out, nothing serious was done about it. The matchas were downright awful: weak, bitter, and clearly of low quality. Definitely not real matcha, but something that looked more like green water. And then there was the "pastry"... literally standard Sligro junk. Ready-made. Zero effort, zero freshness, yet charging a premium. These kinds of places thrive on tourists who don't check prices. No quality, no honesty, no shame. If you respect your money (and your taste buds): stay away.

The café is super centrally located and honestly, it saved us from the rain! Delicious! Both the pastries and the coffee were excellent. The staff were incredibly friendly. I don't know if the place went viral or if, due to the rain and teatime, there was a bit of a wait, and we had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. But aside from that, everything was spectacular. 100% recommended!

There is a big difference between the appearance of the place and the quality of the products inside. We ate a gluten-free chocolate cake, and it tasted really bad. It was really poor for the price…

The coffee was good & great service! Very overpriced for what you get though, a small latte with syrup is almost €6 & the larger size is almost €8. Unfortunately, the cardboard type lids don’t fit the cups properly. When setting my drink down, the top came undone & caused me to spill it. I would recommend changing to plastic, like the smaller espresso cups. There’s also a toilet available upstairs.

The cafe looked cute and the atmosphere was nice, but the cake tasted absolutely frozen and was ridiculously expensive, even for the center of Amsterdam. I don't think I'll be back..🍰😨

Lucy's is now called "Sophie's" Very pink and girly, but also very friendly and delicious.

Very tasty food & drinks, kind service and a lovely atmosphere.

Juan is really the best. His customer service is on point and he has a great energy to him! Also coffee is great! 10/10

Great ! I tried their red velvet cake and chocolate cake really delicious, Cozy atmosphere and lovely staff — I’ll definitely be back!

The cakes were delicious. 👆👆👆But there were no price tags anywhere!!! You have to wait half an hour to ask how much everything costs, especially if there are other customers ahead. If there had been price tags everywhere, there would have been no need to bother the seller. We paid €23.40 for two cakes. That's expensive for me. I thought cakes were €5-8.

Far too expensive. The cake tasted rather poorly for the price. The coffee was quite tasty.

The pace is quite small, but really nice option, and it's open till late

This café is a must-visit for its beautiful pink decor, which creates a super cozy and photo-worthy space. ​The menu is excellent, with a wide selection of coffees, cappuccinos, and other hot and cold drinks. The pastries are also delicious. ​The staff is very friendly and welcoming, making the experience even better. It’s the perfect spot for a sweet treat in a stunning setting.

It was cozy and delicious, but quite expensive. A smoothie, an iced matcha, and a muffin cost €23.

€6 for a cappuccino. Hail tourists!

They claim to serve specialty coffee yet they serve overpriced subpar coffee cups. I ordered a flat white and I got a burnt coffee. Couldn’t even drink it because of how hot it was. As I told the girl working there, she seemed upset. They remade my coffee, only that this time I got a frothy cappuccino instead of my flat white. If you want quality coffee, avoid at all costs. Don’t get fooled by the ‘fancy’ look. It seems they don’t even know what they’re doing.

A TOURIST TRAP!!!!!!! We visited Lucy’s cafe on 30th August, as we were in Amsterdam for the day and have been there before two years ago and really enjoyed our experience and the dessert and drinks. This time round though it was very different. We purchased two cold drinks, two hot drinks, a tiramisu and three chocolate cacao desserts. On the board it said the amount for the drinks and said cakes were 9 euro so we knew how much roughly the total would be. When it came to payment, the staff member just inputted it all on the till and as soon as we’d paid, my travel card notification came up with an amount of 89 euros! Straight away we asked for the receipt as we knew something was very wrong! We are from the UK and for sure know four drinks and four desserts does not cost £68! Soon as we got the receipt, the same staff member who served us suddenly disappeared. We then checked reviews on Google and were horrified to see the bad reviews from other people. We just wished we had checked prior to going. For a start, the cafe was completely dead so maybe that was a warning sign. When we asked the other member of staff how much the same dessert is, he said 14 euros, then said 9 euros, so clearly the costs are made up on the spot. Such an awful experience and a shame to see how the place has gone. Would definitely avoid!

Good coffee but bizarrely expensive, 2 coffees for €13.50 and they don't speak Dutch

Expensive - unfortunately, it's not justified. Watery iced matcha latte, the milk isn't even briefly frothed. Other drinks are unspectacular. Far too expensive for that. Visually nice shop, but that's it...

The food is good, but they don't clearly display prices for each item. So you expect it to be cheap. I was personally shocked to pay €28 for a single slice of cheesecake, a macaron, and a coffee. And to think they just get it from Sligro. We saw them unpack the items. Unfortunately for us, it felt like we hadn't eaten anything unique and it was way too expensive.

Very nice place and the prices are reasonable for Amsterdam.

Scam! Paid €26 for 2 pastries and a drink. All the pastries are from Sligro! We saw the boxes. Shameless.

We are really satisfied with the high quality of coffee and of the barista’s skills, thank you Juan for the experience! We already came back again!

The taste of good chocolate, in a cozy location.

I went to LUCY'S in Amsterdam – what a cute place! The strawberry chocolate cheesecakes are super delicious – creamy, fruity, and perfectly sweet. The presentation is also absolutely beautiful. Perfect for a break during a stroll through the city.

I ordered a cake and a flat white. They were delicious.

Expensive. Nothing special with the taste. My daughter even had stomachache after drinking

I had a cheesecake and dirty chai to go because it was raining and crowded. The employees were very helpful and looking out for all their customers. I would like to go back when it's emptier.

Slow service, mixed up many orders. Don’t recommend this

Disgusting matcha. Probably they use the cheapest one.

Sadly the Matcha wasn't good. Tasted bitter and had mud colour. 7-9€ is insane. The staff was friendly.

Smoothie was bad. Instead of fresh fruits, was made from frozen banana and sweet mango juice.

Ridiculous prices for mediocre food. Absolutely not worth it.

Very nice matcha and coffees!! Also the cakes are very tastefull. The staff was friendly too!! Perfect place to relax in the busy city centre of Amsterdam!

i love the vibe and was so excited to go but the energy was not there, didn’t have good service and my matcha was lacking so hard!! it barely tasted like matcha. it didn’t have a weird flavour just an extremely light flavour!! it’s so cute and aesthetic inside tho and the decor is on top. all i had was the matcha but i wont go back… and it was really expensive

We paid over €30 for two drinks (chai and iced latte) and two slices of cake. The cake (€9!! each) was unfortunately quite dry. We wouldn't go there again.

What they promise in the ads is far from what you actually get. Save yourself the disappointment—go with regular coffee. 🙄🙄🙄 for one smoothie and one coffee we paid 13€

A tourist trap. Got a Strawberry Cup with chocolate + a small caramel macchiato and paid 20 Eur 😳. They were both good but way too expensive + the Strawberry Cup's price was not displayed anywhere, so you only find out after you order and already have to pay. Sort of a scam.

It is a tourist trap! So expensive and with such poor quality

End-of-shift ritual: photowalk, sip, smile.. Matcha forEvahhh.. work’s done., time to sip.. Fueled by green dreams 🍵 💚 @ Lucy’s.. 𝓲𝗔𝗺𝓡𝓲𝔃𝓪𝓼𝓽𝔂lz

Despite the yummy & delicious desserts + the comfy & cozy place ✨ Two days ago i forgot my ring in the store’s bathroom, and realised that when i was at the resort. And since it’s far away i couldn’t go back to the store and kinda lost hope to be able to find it. I came today “two days later” because my daughter loves the Rainbow cake, and i asked about it “ if “ they saw it or something. After describing the ring surprisingly the seller guy took out the ring and handed it to me 🫶🏻 Thank you so much for the amazing food and the lovely honesty 🙏🏻

I use to get their matcha latte a lot. Now they increase the price but drink taste horrible. It has strong taste of milk and barely any matcha. The quality went so much down.

Their location amazing I tried their matcha and hot chocolate was good

Honestly, the prices are ridiculous. Water costs €4 when even at the airport it's €3. Employees who talk to each other and don't take you while you're waiting. A small slice of cake for €9? I give up, bye.

So I got a matcha latte that cost exactly €7 and ended up drinking matcha that wasn't good quality because the color of the matcha latte was disgusting. I'm a matcha lover and it was the worst I've ever tasted. Water that costs €4 when even at the airport it costs €3! Avoid.

We ordered 2 small pieces of cake and a small macha late, in the end we paid €25. I think this is quite expensive for what we got. We both didn't like the macha, it was grassy and watery (could also be our taste) and the cakes were nothing special... just cake. The cafe itself was cute and the employee was also nice. But I wouldn't really recommend it, especially if you don't want to spend too much.

Coffee was great, the red velvet cake was delicious! A cute colourful cafe for a quick break in the city! They do have stroopwaffles and cookies which seemed really great. A little on the expensive side but worth it!

It was great but 34€ for a coffee,a Matcha and two little treats is too much .

Disgusting coffee… i am very disappointed

Don't come here, the prices are extremely high for small portions and unpleasant taste. A real tourist trap.

The matcha was horrible, it tasted disgusting. It also was very expensive (middle size was 7,50€ and vanilla syrup was 1€, €8,50 for matcha is actually insane). The barista was neutral, not nice nor rude but I did not like his vibe. For my matcha girlies: please don’t waste your money over here! He was done in like 1 minute, did not even!! use a bamboo whisk and the matcha was not fresh or fresh kind of green but like a dark mossy/shrek colour of green. I’ve tasted alot of different matchas in my life but this was the worst one ever. It tasted like fish kinda something with alot of sugar? Would not recommend it! This was such an horibble experience.

Bad quality matcha for 8€ a small glass is really outrageous. Will not be back.

I got a smoothie here. Very tasty really not normal. A bit small (not full) but it was definitely worth the €8.50. I had the mango passion fruit peach smoothie.

Super sweet staff, warm and inviting vibe and the food looks super delicious too!!💞 :) I tried the red velvet muffin/cupcake and it was very tasty

They have a delicious chocolate almond cheesecake!

Prices are a bit on the high side, but good atmosphere and quality services.

Very nice atmosphere, but it’s really the service that stands out! The lady behind the counter is the nicest person I have ever met!:)

Small and nice! Perfect coffee, tastiest saltet caramel muffin, nice staff.

The location is perfect, the cheesecake i had was average, maybe other things are better

Decent place, But 9 Euro's per slice is taking it a bit too far

We came end of March, and we LOVED the place. The young woman welcoming us was lovely, the place was clean and nicely decorated. Ice tea was 10/10 🧋😍 The pastries looked pretty good, we’ll try them next time for sure. Would definitely recommend ! 😁

Ordered a newyork cheese cake and hot chocolate, was delicious!! Staff are really nice

I had the New York Cheesecake and an home made Ice Tea. It was pretty good but not amazing. It was also quite pricy, but so is everything in Amsterdam. The bakery itself looks very nice and cosy

The coffee is super tasty but it really depends on who makes it. The matcha is not that good compared to what you pay for it. The atmosphere around it is great though.

Place that fulfills all your needs

Cool cafe and very friendly staff.

9euros for a piece of cake is a bit overpriced and the overall taste is okay. Nothing exceptional but cute decor

A run-of-the-mill coffee shop in Amsterdam. The decor is funny. But 25 euros for two people, coffee and cake, that doesn't make me very enthusiastic.

a lottle expensive, Matcha wasnt great

Matcha inedible. Several customers threw it away.

paid €26 for 1 disgusting bad quality matcha drink and 2 small pieces of cake

Really nice place and the lady Adela was very welcoming and sweet ❤️

I've wanted to go to this bakery for quite some time... but it was very disappointing. I ordered a matcha latte, but unfortunately it was of very poor quality. I saw the matcha jar and it had a bit of a grayish color. Furthermore, I understand that it is pricey, but for the quality it was really too expensive. We spent €30 for two drinks and two pieces of cake. The pastry was fine, but not very special. Furthermore, the staff is friendly and it looks nice, but that's all :(

Good coffee, but the quality/price ratio is not necessarily there for takeaway, but the place is very beautiful!

Very expensive, I came for a “home made” peach iced tea, the result of Monin syrup with water and ice cubes for €6. Not really good either. The pretty decoration is the only good point of the place.

I had an iced chocolate at this beautifully designed café with a soft aesthetic pink ambiance— both the drink and the atmosphere were delightful.

Super cute spot right of the main square coffee was excellent!

Only came because they said they had gluten free cheesecake (which they do) but it’s all not great and insanely overpriced!! Wouldn’t recommend

A small shop in Dam Square. A place where you can rest to drink something hot.

Very poorly polite and unpleasant saleswoman.

Great business! Delicious cake and coffee👌🏼

Lovely place with tasty ice tea

Very bad tent Not recommended! Rude staff, dirty toilet without paper, etc. If you point this out, they will laugh at you and say they don't have time. Eating McDonald's behind the counter and belching while you work, very rude. I hope the owner will hire new staff soon, it could be a very nice place!

terrible matcha, it had more strop than matcha. NEither of us could finish it Definitely overpriced

Nice coffee but ridiculous customer service. The two rude barista ladies felt it necessary to talk and laugh out loud about different customers and their manners, while they clearly have no manners themselves. They are also very noisy when talking to each other.

Calling this place a SPECIALTY COFFEE in a huge understatement. When u go for specialty u are sure you will receive a very well crafted beverage. Unfortunately I have received lukewarm unfoamed milk instead of my flat white. In addition the waiting time was very long and the service was very unpleasant. In addition those prices are absurd. Never again

The drinks are very sweet and quite expensive. 6 euros for a lemonade.. The decor of the cafe is all pink, which makes the place super cute

Instagrammable but that's where it ends. The staff are more interested in their phones than even greeting customers, let alone serving them

Creatively decorated, delicious sweets and drinks.
