SOIL Vegan Café - WEST in Da Costabuurt

Everything was delicious, the desserts were incredible.

Absolutely amazing, we tried the kha soi and Ben Ben noodles. Soooo delicious!

It's was perfect. A cute place with delicious food and a great atmosphere.

It was really nice, the food is great!

Google searched for vegan food in Amsterdam, and this place absolutely delivered, such more'ish plantbased food, was delicious and a great selection available on the menu 🌱 plant power, herbivores rock

Absolutely delicious! Every dish was full of flavor and perfectly prepared. We really enjoyed everything we tried — you can tell a lot of care goes into the food. Highly recommend!

Super good food, the ramen is delicious!

We ordered ribs, dragon noodles and kimchi rice. Ribs was good but the rest were either a bit dry or underwhelming and simple. The atmosphere and the service was good.

Very nice restaurant! Great selection and delicious food! Highly recommended!

Wonderful food but terrible service! Our food took over 2 hours to arrive and the waitress was extremely unfriendly.

Really lovely vegan place! We tried pulled 'pork' tacos as a starter, and for the main ben ben noodles and khao soi noodles. Everything was fantastic, nicely balanced flavours. Very satisfying meal, will definitely come back

It’s the best vegan food I have ever had! Everything is 10/10 - I had the Khao Soi and the vegan cheesecake! And it literally blew my mind! 😍 it’s worth the walk.. beautiful atmosphere too! I completely recommend!

Get the cheesecake, it’s amazing!

Staff are friendly, food was super good from starter to pudding I advice I would like go back there eat 😊

Great lunchtime restaurant, with interesting starters options (ribs were yum!) and reasonably priced. It’s a cute restaurant, but not for an occasion in our opinion. The burger was average but the Bali salad was divine. We would go again.

the absolute best cheesecake I've had, vegan or not!

Super good! Definitely recommend the ribs and the tacos.

One of the best vegan meal I had! The ben ben noodles were incredible, spicy and yummy, as for the kimchi reuben. A great discovery!

- Food is mid/ The bowl dishes were bland - The Steak Baguette was good (4 out of 5) - Service was good/ friendly staff - All in all not worth the price

Wow!!!! Amazing food. The ribs and the Ben Ben noodles… best food I ate my whole holiday. Highly recommend

Excellent cuisine, to be tried with your eyes closed! Small improvement possible on the welcome and service (a hello and a smile and it would be perfect!)

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Soil even though he is not vegan. We both had the Dragon Bowl which arrived steaming hot and had so much flavor. We are glad we indulged in dessert: the Snickers Brownie and the Apple Pie were decadent and delicious. The chef (owner?) provided great service, and made us feel welcome. We highly recommend Soil!

Everything was absolutely delicious, the best cheesecake ever!!

We had a wonderful meal here: surprisingly delicious, completely plant-based, and healthy. The restaurant was packed, so reservations are recommended, especially if you're traveling with a group. We were lucky and just managed to find a table for two.

The food is good. Completely vegan.

Don’t know what the fuzz is about but the kimchi fried rice was tasteless (only tasted sour) and not even fried. Little fruit flies kept flying around our food which ruined our appetite.

While researching vegan lunch options, we stumbled on this exceptional cafe offering excellent vegan options. We enjoyed a Miso salad, cheezy burger and cheesycake. Each dish was amazingly tasty and exhibited great creativity in creating vegan options for some standard fare. Highly recommend a visit as you will not be disappointed!

This place definitely surpassed any of my expectations after seeing it featured on YouTube. I have been looking forward to trying it for a while. The quality of the food and flavors are amazing and not like any place else. It’s healthy, delicious and made with love. Everything we had was the best tasing ever. The Miso ramen for sure the best I’ve ever had. And the apple pie dessert was out of this world! If you happen to be in Amsterdam make sure to check this place out. And make sure to make reservations for dinner time.

A really great place. It's more of a restaurant than a café, with outdoor seating. The chef was friendly and gave us good advice ;) The food was also incredibly delicious; I would go back anytime. Everything is vegan, so you can relax and choose whatever you like, which I love :)

Ordered delivery to my hotel after a long day of sightseeing. Had the Ben Ben noodles and it was delicious and filling. A bit pricey.

The food was great The price less :(

Really good service and delicious food

We ordered a table for dinner and were welcomed warmly. The staff have amazing energy and the music was on point. The food was super comforting and filled with lots of unique flavors. Very high quality vegan food.

Food was excellent and the service faultless and very polite. Loved the music too!

Fun, affordable, and super delicious! The service was also very helpful! They even gave advice for my pregnant friend! We're super happy and will definitely be back!

Ate my best udon dish ever! Absolutely delicious 😋

A lovely place to eat with a quirky and cozy vibe. I ate here on a Thursday evening and it was nearly full booked when I turned up so recommend booking in advance if you want a table even midweek.

Very delicious vegan food. The people I was with usually eat meat and were pleasantly surprised. One even asked if this great café could come to Germany! 😁 The menu is available online. The server was very friendly and humorous. The food came quickly and was delicious! We'd love to come back next time we're in Amsterdam!

Phenomenal experience provided by our server, EB. They took great care of my future wife and I. To recommending things on the menu to having great conversations. We had the cheesy burger and the fried chicken sandwich with the rustic fries that were perfectly crispy. Chef JP is a class act as well. The host were sensational. EB is so friendly and outgoing at the end he offered their famous cheesecake. Thank you for your hospitality gentleman. God bless you all. We kindly appreciate you for everything!!!

This is a must place to go in Amsterdam Centraal!!! Top best vegan food I’ve ever had. The cheese cake was so amazing 🤤, the amount of food was just right. Very healthy yummy vegan food with vegetables. Also the waitress was the loveliest person ever, and she was also the one who made the cheese cake, you could see that she was very passionate about what she does. We sat outside which was very nice. The place is beautiful and to top everything famous celebrities also went there 😮.

A great vegan café with a truly impressive taste, but a bit of an acoustic issue. We ordered the cheese steak and the dragon noodles. The food arrived quickly, and even though the sandwich looked very simple at first, the taste was AMAZING. Well-seasoned, cheesy, and incredibly filling! The noodles were also delicious and convincing; I personally would have preferred some kind of protein. You should make a reservation, as it filled up quickly in the evening. There are a few individual tables and one large, quite wide table, at which we sat with others. The room got incredibly loud, so we had to talk to each other across the table. Overall, a lovely café that you should definitely visit if you're craving delicious vegan food.

Food was great, but long waiting time. Having waited 1h10min asked about the food, we got a quick answer of „it‘ll be worth it“. It took another 20min for the food to arrive. The food itself was good, although tainted by the wait and non-acknowledgement of the wait.

A delightful place to enjoy excellent sweet and savory vegan food. Reservations recommended.

Great place, highly recommended! We enjoyed ourselves and the food was delicious, but we were quite bothered by the fact that the menu specifies the calorie content of each dish. It's not a matter of taste; we believe it's a problem that can affect some people. I hope we can all enjoy food without constantly thinking about those things :)

An absolute vegan highlight in Amsterdam! We had the ribs, the Ben Ben noodles, and the Khao Soi noodles. Each one tasted better than the last. A really cool thing: the living library of fermented vegetables. Good to know: We got a spot spontaneously, but reservations are recommended.

Friendly service, incredible food.

Very good food, friendly service, fair prices, cool people, fantastic restaurant. Reservations are recommended. Highly recommended

Really nice people and really good food.

Everything we had at the SOIL vegan cafe was absolutely delicious, I especially enjoyed the Bulgogi cheese steak, the ribs and the cheesy cake.. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back here!

Really great dishes that are also super delicious 😍 The menu includes photos of the offerings; that should be the case everywhere. 😘 Everything is vegan, thank you so much 🌱

I ended up here by chance - I had a meeting today, but my boss was running late. I popped in and was pleasantly surprised - it's a really nice spot, with a great atmosphere and a calm vibe. I had some fries and a beer, which were both delicious. But what really caught my attention was the amazing smell of the food and seeing what other customers were eating. I'm definitely going to come back and try it out properly next time, thanks!"

Very friendly service and the Ben Ben noodles are really delicious, would definitely go back!👍🏻

Cute little vegan restaurant, friendly staff and very delicious meals!

Delicious food, some of the best vegan food we've ever had

Amazing food! Seriously do not cheat yourself out of a seriously great dish. Staff were really friendly but a bit slower on the service side. I will absolutely come back next time I'm visiting Amsterdam!

A truly beautiful place with a cozy atmosphere. The vegan burgers were incredibly delicious, and the service was very friendly. You can tell a lot of heart and soul put into this restaurant.

Food was delicious, service could definitely be better. We wanted drinks, had to wait a long time for this until someone was finally available or to be found.

I was looking for a good restaurant for my vegan brother, and I’m so glad we found this place. Even though he was the only vegan in a party of seven, we all loved the food. The vegan options were creative and tasty. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome, and the atmosphere was relaxed but lively. It’s not always easy to find a spot that makes everyone happy, but this restaurant did exactly that. Highly recommended.

Very spicy and hot food! Not recommended for people with intolerance to sauces and hot sauces.

Chilled vibe, very tasty food - I had the pulled pork bun and the incredibly yummy cheesecake! I visited mid-afternoon, there were lots of reserved tables when I left, which is a good sign.

I ordered the dragon noodles which was full of flavour and delicious! The staff are wonderful too. Loved the place but I felt it was slightly pricey - 19-ish Euros for one bowl of noodles. Food in Amsterdam is generally expensive but it felt a tad too steep even for Amsterdam standards. Lovely place otherwise.

We had the classic burger (not very big for the price) with fries (truly incredible) and Ben Ben noodles (good). Nice location, ok service for Amsterdam

We visited SOIL Vegan Café WEST today (Note: the EAST location has been closed since May 2025) and we really enjoyed the food! Everything was very fresh and delicious! The atmosphere is relaxed and casual. The service was very friendly! We’ll gladly come back!

Nice little "café," although it's more than just a café + Delicious food + Friendly staff + Vegetarian food + Two outdoor tables = I would like it if the burger buns were homemade, too = Price is okay - Restrooms are more or less poor (extremely small, loose faucet, etc.) - Indoor lamps are very dusty and could use a thorough cleaning

I came here around 9 PM one evening, and despite the kitchen being closed, they still made me the most delicious burger and fries! I would absolutely come here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for some amazing vegan food.

This vegan Café is amazing! The food was incredibly tasty and prepared with a lot of fresh ingredients. I highly recommend coming here to anyone. The people here can cook very well! If I would live in Amsterdam I would come here all the time but it will be a must travel for all my Amsterdam visits 😍

Food was tasty and fries excellent, though the burger wasn't quite up to the billing. We also tried the Buddha bowl, which was very good. Service could have been a bit better. The server seemed to be distracted and not too attentive even though we visited on a quiet afternoon.

I really wanted to try the spare ribs but they are made of seitan so it's pure gluten and I had to give up. We took the bang bang noodles and it was super delicious! Very spicy but it was what expected. We also had a kimchi rice which was supposed to be not spicy according to the waitress but it was spicy in the end...not too much but it was.. And the person who ordered was not supposed to eat spicy... The dessert was the snicker and it's soooo good. Highly recommended, the quantity is enough. Keep it up! The espresso: to forget, not recommended at all, it had a burnt taste. I went at lunch time and it was almost empty but the waitress was still a bit busy and not paying so much attention sometimes. I would go back for sure for the food, the noodles and the rice were a bit pricy. The dessert has very good price for the quality/taste and portion. Happy to have this vegan option in Amsterdam! People eat more vegan, let's help those businesses

All in all, we were satisfied. The place is rather small, with only two outdoor tables. We had the Ben Ben noodles. The sauce was really delicious and creamy, albeit a bit spicy. We're aware of and appreciate that they probably use good ingredients, and that the employees, the shop, and much more have to be paid. However, we find the drink prices very expensive (€4.35 for a 0.2l Fritz...). I wouldn't choose a second one.

tastes like homemade food, people working there are incredibly wholesome, very creative dishes, was genuinely an absolute pleasure

We were lucky to be able to get into this restaurant. Somebody cancelled a reservation and this is the reason we got in. The food was to die for! The food, the taste, the presentation, ❤️❤️ everything. Super nice people working there.

10/10 — no notes. The food was incredibly flavorful and delicious. We ordered two dishes: the Ben Ben noodles and the Koi Soy. The Ben Ben noodles were made with udon, which paired perfectly with the rich peanut sauce. The Koi Soy was just as impressive, with crispy fried noodles adding great texture and a deeply flavorful broth. Can’t wait to come back!

You have no idea you're being cheated out of meat. It's super homemade from scratch. Highly recommended.

Best salad I ever had - Bali salad! Good portion sizes :D great!

a little expensive but we have to admit that it’s completely worth it 🙌🏻 we ordered the bali salad and the kimchi fried rice the food was amazing and the waiter very nice, we recomend the outside tables so that you can watch the bikes passing and gossip on their looks 🙂‍↕️

Excellent but a little pricey for the main courses. For the salads, however, EXCELLENT value for money

The Food was pretty good and the menu read nicely. Unfortunately I won’t come back because of the atmosphere. The vibe was so off because the entire time there was super hard rock music on full volume on

Had the dragon noodles and miso ramen! It was so good one of the best vegan food I've had!

Great experience, the noodles we ordered were amazingly good, delicious! I was full but the cheesecake in the end was much worth it.

Definitely don’t skip the ribs, they are wonderful. The miso ramen and the burgers have amazing flavors. Appreciate our server telling me that the other ramen was spicy when I tried to order it, haha. The snickers bar and the apple pie are a must as well!

Yay, so lucky to be living around the corner from this amazing place! Wonderful people, atmosphere and great food! Kids loved it, too!

Absolutely loved this place! The food is healthy, simple, and made with excellent quality ingredients. Portions are generous and everything tastes fresh and well-prepared. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a spot that’s both delicious and nourishing!

The waitress was unhelpful, rude and curt. Too bad, because the food was very tasty! Not a single smile, sighed when a new glass was asked for the rosé (she wanted to pour it into the red wine glass) and asked to look at the beer labels herself to find the right beer. Too bad about the acoustics of the location, can't always hear each other because the sound goes in all directions (and the kitchen is in the same room). Food really great!

The food was a little spicy, more than I would like. But it's delicious

We had a reservation, but it wasn't necessary since the restaurant was practically empty. For starters, we ordered the ribs, which were very good, and the cod croquettes, which had a very mild taste of the sea and came with a sauce that was impossible to eat due to the amount of what seemed to be wasabi. The main dishes (Chimichurri rice and Cheezy burger) were delicious. Dessert was an apple pie that was ok, nothing special. The noise in the kitchen was VERY annoying: the chef was banging the pans vigorously without caring and the blender running was almost ear-splitting. The waiter also seemed to want to be anywhere in the world but there: he wasn't rude, but he was completely apathetic and lacked initiative.

The waitress didn't even crack a smile. Go to this place if you're not in a hurry and like spicy food, because while you can get non-spicy options, they were spicy too. The menu is very small; online, they list dishes they don't have.

We ordered: ribs, kimchi fried rice, laksa, miso salad, and bali salad. Every dish was a delight and bursting with flavor! 👏🏻👏🏻

Amazing! Their kimchi was the best i had and the service was always very friendly and nice to talk to.

Fully vegan café with a large and appealing selection of lunch and brunch dishes. I went for the “Bali Salad,” but there were quite a few other things on the menu I would’ve liked to try as well. The staff was friendly, but seemed a bit overwhelmed – one more person on the team might have helped. I found the drink selection a bit disappointing. There were only a few options (like Fritz Cola), and especially considering the small bottle sizes, I would’ve loved to see something more exciting – like a homemade lemonade or something a bit more unique. It would also be helpful to include the volume (ml/l) of the drinks on the menu so customers know what they’re getting before ordering. The Bali Salad itself was tasty and had lots of different components – great if you're in the mood for a colorful mix. Unfortunately, I really didn’t enjoy the tempeh. I'm usually a fan, but this one tasted very unusual to me – though of course that’s a matter of personal taste. The peanut sauce was delicious, but since it’s mostly on top of the bowl, it was a bit tricky to get any flavor down to the salad leaves at the bottom. Maybe pre-mixing it a little could help here. Service 3/5 Ambience 4/5 Vegan selection 5/5 Taste 3.5/5 Price 3/5

Had a delicious dinner here. Can recommend the ribs for starter, the kimchi fried rice and the ben ben noodles. And for dessert make sure you try the cheesecake and snickers bar.

Excellent restaurant. Highly recommend the BenBen noodles and snickers for dessert.

Love this place. Food is great, super tasty, not bad price. Cosy and friendly staff.

This was one of the best vegan restaurants I've been to (and it's been many). I highly recommend it!! We've had Bitterballen as a starter, Ben Ben noodles and dragon noodles as a main and the snickers bar as Dessert. Especially the Ben Ben noodles were so good!!

Great food, you wouldn‘t believe those burgers to be vegan. Also very good fries and delicious cake. Highly recommend the visit!

Got the miso ramen and cheesecake and they were delicious! I will definitely be coming back next time I’m in the area.

Super tasty food and a good selection! As a vegan you are in heaven here. But the meat eaters in our group were also very satisfied ☺️ We particularly liked the ribs, burgers and udon noodles.

We loved the dishes, it was delicious and the waitress was very welcoming and friendly!

We ordered the ribs, Ben Ben noodles and snickers for share. The food are well made. Ribs with crispy outside and soft sponge inside with well made sauce. Noodles also has nice balanced sauce. The snickers has soft chocolate texture with peanut and sea salt as toppings. Quite satisfied with the food!

Amazing food, cheesecake almost made me cry of how good it was.

We stopped by for a vegan dessert after dinner and were very impressed with their desserts! Delicious vegan food!
