Sophie's Kitchen in Grachtengordel-Zuid

Terrible, the mini pancakes were reheated and hard.

Absolutely avoid!!!! Besides being a tourist trap, they also want to rip you off. 30 euros for two sandwiches and one cinnamon roll, which were disgusting!!! They're days old, and everything was thrown away because they were so disgusting. THERE ARE NO PRODUCT PRICES ON THE PLACE. The staff is rude and, above all, rude. I hope they close your shop; the only reason you're still alive is because you're ripping off tourists...you deserve 0 stars.

Rude arrogant overpriced stale food and rats nearby

Ice cream comes straight from the wholesaler, everything that comes out of a waffle iron is covered in wasps on the counter, and you don't know how long the fruit has been sitting there either. Everything we bought just wasn't it.

Beware of this tourist trap! If you don't see the prices, it's because it's expensive! Furthermore, the shopkeeper charged me €3.50 for the espresso instead of the €2.99 indicated on their sign. Avoid at all costs!!!!

It’s overpriced considering the quality of the products.

I too fell for the price scheme here 15 euro for a few old microwaved mini pancakes from who knows when...

We asked if we could use the toilet, to which he shouted, "We don't have one." I replied, "My girlfriend is on her period, could we use it briefly?" to which he responded, "No, then definitely not, she makes it dirty." We walked away and confronted him about the poor service, whereupon he called us names like "your mother" and other very rude words. Watch out!

The staff at this place are amazing! I had a problem with my bank card and, for some reason, I couldn’t pay. My churros were already being prepared, but they trusted me and let me take them anyway, believing that I would come back and pay later. I actually came back the next day to pay, and I really appreciated their kindness and trust. The churros were absolutely delicious—fresh, warm, and made right in front of me. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

Great job Good bakery and stuff I recommend it

Excessively high price for what it is.

It was very bad. It came moldy. It was stale and very disgusting.

Tourist trap. He charged me 16 euros for a cookie waffle and tricked me into adding. Add ons. At the end when i asked bill after realising he over charged me, he refused to give bill by saying for cash payment no bill. Total fraudulent behaviour by staff. I am damn sure the guy is charging us extra and pocketing it. Owners of the shop please be alert.

The price is very expensive at 16 euros, but thankfully it tastes good. The sound is a bit annoying.

why did you genuinely make me pay €20 for a small container of like 12 mini dutch pancakes and a water HELLO????

Be careful here. They charge different prices than what's on the menu! Also, the staff is extremely unfriendly. Go two shops down instead.

Worst food, ever. (Køb ikke!!) I am normally not a food critic at all, but the bagel i got, can’t even be called food. A tourist attraction with crazy high prices. - it costed 8 euro (60 DKK). I had to throw it out, the same with my sister. (The bagel we got was frozen and it crumbled in our hands. I could not even swallow one bite. We saw it too late.. I actually think you can get sick from this food.)

Amazing desserts and great coffee! The waffles and crêpes are fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere is very nice. Perfect place to relax and enjoy a sweet treat. Highly recommended!

Very expensive for the quality, the macarons were very hard

One of the worst places you can try, a tourist trap. €14 for a cream-filled croissant. I absolutely do not recommend going to this place; they rip you off 100%.

Basically a tourist trap with overpriced stuff and not fresh 😅

In any case, you shouldn't come here for the paninis!

Drawn by the beauty of the products displayed in the window, without worrying about anything else, we went in and ordered three sweet treats: a croissant filled with strawberries and cream, a donut, and an eclair with a Kinder Bueno bar. The Kinder Bueno was stale, flaccid, and sour on the outside, probably very old. Overall, the flavor was far from satisfying. The cream placed nearby had turned to milk within a ten-minute bus ride. And above all... A rip-off. Either we were ripped off because we were tourists, or it's seriously overpriced: €36 total for three pieces!!!!! Absurd. Totally not recommended for both price and quality. Never again.

Food was dry, needed a drink of water after and over priced for what I was

The staff were constantly on calls, which made communication a little difficult, but it was okay. What I had there was so sweet that I didn't feel like trying any others. But they look good 😊

16 euros for 8 chocolate strawberries Strawberries not fresh Good service but very pricey Good selection of desserts , would like to think how much a piece of cake was if strawberries were 8 euros for 4 .... Overpriced ....

The worst cafe I've ever seen. The prices are outrageously high and don't match the terrible taste at all. €77 for three desserts and three drinks that tasted awful... And the waitress who served us was even worse than the food and the price. If I could, I wouldn't even give it one star. It's a waste of money.

I was very disappointed with this cafeteria. The service was poor, the prices were very high compared to the quality of the food, and the staff didn't speak properly to customers. I didn't feel welcome at all.

"Unfortunately, the staff seemed unfriendly and somewhat arrogant. We also found the prices overpriced. There were three of us, and all three were disappointed."

It's a paradise for those with a sweet tooth! It might not be the cheapest or most home-style food in Amsterdam, but it's absolutely delicious. Plus, it's right in the city center and open almost all day.

the worst pasta I have ever eaten in my life, the food smells like plastic so understand this microwave kitchen

Very bad experience !! I toke the most expenssive croissant 12e

It's pretty bad, a complete tourist rip-off. Low-quality, tasteless but attractive-looking products, high prices. A place that only manages to stay open thanks to its tourist location.

A total rip-off! I had to pay €15 for a croissant; the prices weren't displayed. Plus, it was terrible.

I just paid EUR 19 for a small brownie and a thimble of Baileys hot chocolate. Insane! Service was incredibly slow. I was grateful of somewhere to sit but the music is awful and it's cold with the front door open. Bonus points only for vegan cake options.

Horrible! And a big scam! A waffle for 10 euros! The prices are not displayed and when it comes to paying the bill you are told exorbitant prices!! The waffle was not fresh and we were sick all night because of it!! Run away!! It's a shame that this type of business hasn't closed yet!!!

Sophie’s Kitchen is a dessert lover’s dream. It’s open almost all day and night, which makes it one of the few places you can go when a late-night sweet craving hits. The display is absolutely mouth-watering, you can’t walk by without stopping to look, and honestly, it’s almost overwhelming to choose because they seem to have everything you can imagine. We went twice and both times ended up getting the lotus waffle with vanilla ice cream on top. It was really, really good. I’m not sure how fresh everything is since many of the items are reheated, but it still tastes great once warmed up. The staff is friendly, though one small downside is that there are no visible prices, so you only find out the cost after ordering. Still, it’s a fun spot to satisfy any sweet craving, especially late at night, and worth visiting just for the experience (and that lotus waffle!).

Felt like it was the only lively/lit up place on the street. So we walked into it as we walked past, got some really good waffles and the service was amazing (we got free churros and they were nice!).

40.50 for 2 pistachio croissants, 1 normal croissant, 1 mini pancake basket, 1 donut and 1 cappuccino and 1 espresso. After double-checking and asking for the receipt, she gives us a receipt for the entire order without the detailed prices. She tells us that a pistachio croissant is worth 7.50 Euros! In total, when we count it up, we don't even get the correct total! A real scam! Not to mention that nothing was good, everything went in the trash! We ate pistachio croissants at Saint-Jean, 5 euros but the best! Run away from this place! A tourist trap!

Completely overpriced. There are no prices posted, and you're surprised when you pay. I paid €14 for an Iced Matcha Latte and a mini croissant with very few pistachios. The matcha tasted like milk. Next time, read the reviews first. A waste of money.

Super amazing store and great staff! My friend unfortunately had a bad incident with weed and the staff was super helpful and supportive helping out my friend to calm down and sober up. They let her lie down and get some coffee and patiently waited for her to sober up. This was really late at night as well and even though workers were super tired they still helped and kindly told her not to be ashamed. Super nice workers! Food was great too and nice atmosphere:)

There was mould in our loaded cookie and when we told the guy behind the counter he kept telling me it’s the custard cream when it’s clear green mould. Then he kept telling me ‘ok and what? What do you want me to do about it?’ This place is a joke don’t go. We should’ve taken pictures of the mould before he took it away ‘to show the manager’.

DO NOT GO!! ordered a biscoff cookie inside had what we thought was banana in the middle at the moment which was soo chewy and i did think it was odd but continued eating until i noticed mould. EEK. when we brought it up he said it was custard crème and we showed him closer what do you want me to do about it. VERY CONDESCENDING

We just wanted to grab a quick croissant: €15. The taste was absolutely terrible. Extremely dry and tasteless. Definitely don't go there!!

A stroopwafel with Nutella for €13. The girl serving us didn't even look at us when she was serving us, even though she was talking on the phone. The prices weren't posted, which was our fault for not asking. We didn't like the waffle.

I came today at 10:30 pm, very friendly and welcoming staff. Thank you!

An absolutely amazing experience! Fresh and delicious food, excellent coffee, and a warm, cozy atmosphere. Highly recommended for trying their signature pastries.

Very dissapointing. Breakfast 1 person 31,00€ (bad sandwich for 10€, not fresh but small cake 15€ and coffee 6€

We stumbled upon it by chance while on vacation. I just wanted a scoop of ice cream because our tram was coming soon and we didn't have any time. The seller rolled his eyes at us, in my opinion, because we only bought one scoop, and was just plain rude. However, one scoop costs €3.50, so I wouldn't recommend it.

Completely overpriced and the waffle "rock hard!"... tourist trap!

I think it was decent, I had the churros. the only things I didn't like was that the churros were almost drowned in white chocolate, and it was a bit pricey for a small order of churros. Besides that it was good

Super delicious food, and all those other reviews are wrong. Great staff and service. Delicious food.

Below average food that's too expensive and absolutely HORRIBLE service. Go somewhere else, I wish I didn't spend my money there. The guy who served me "didn't have time" to give me a sample of ice cream.. even though there were no other customers.. so I didn't buy more and very glad I didn't in the end!!

Terrible! super expensive and RUDE service

This was the worst experience and worst customer service I’ve ever seen in my life. The woman working there was unbelievably rude and unprofessional and shamelessly trying to scam us into paying for something we didn’t order. While we were trying to grap a couple of sandwiches to go and seeing our options we firstly chose 2 sandwiches but very soon after that before she even moves we requested a different one “instead” of one of the sandwiches that we had and we even pointed out which one we didn’t want anymore. After paying with card and before we even take the order we noticed that the amount we paid was ridiculously high so we asked for the receipt to find out that we were charged for an extra sandwich. When we talked to her that this is not what we ordered and requested a refund for the extra sandwich she refused to give us any money back. She even took the extra sandwich back to the shelf and asked us to leave without getting the money back and threatened that if we kept talking we are not gonna get any thing from the rest of the order that we had already paid for. She kept ignoring us and even called us liars and threatened to call the police. When we asked her to do so she retreated and said I don’t have time for this and still refused to give us our money back. So if you don’t want to get robbed off your money with such audacity and zero accountability , just don’t go there. The only positive thing about that place was the decent Syrian guy who worked there and solved this issue so diligently within just a few minutes after wasting almost an hour with that scammer.

If I could give less than one star, I would. The woman working there misheard our order, and when we pointed it out, she refused to correct it. Instead of resolving the issue, she shouted at us and insisted that we either order something else or leave, but she wouldn’t replace the incorrect item.

The worst experience ever i had in any restaurant in amsterdam. Beside the unrealistic prices listed . There was an female staff member, she is unprofessionall in any country could anybody deal with . Her attitude/ body language / the way she speaks and reacts is the worst of all time . We decided 10 people over there in the place not to proceed with the order due to her attitude and how she treated us . To the manager, this person is getting customers to run from your place as her attitude doesn't represent anything related to the place.

Tourist trap but was fun (don’t recommend the Bubble tea)

Tourist trap. Not fresh. Terrible

1 Dubai croissant 1 portion of poffertjes with chocolat 1 portion of churro's 1 cappuccino 4 items (nothing special) Bill: €55!! That makes €13,75 per item! If you want to get ripped of then visit this place.

loud music, cant hear anything the person says and the prices that are shown arent correct at all. dont recommend!!!!!

Very good service from the young guy

Friendly staff The store is very nice and diverse

tourist trap, I stopped by this place for a quick bite and ended up paying way too much for a basic sandwich that wasn’t even good. Totally overpriced for what you get — bland taste, tiny portion, and nothing special about it. Feels like they take advantage of tourists who don’t know better. Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

A total scam! Two small latte macchiatos, a croissant with custard and strawberries, and a donut for €28.50! The taste is okay, but it's a total rip-off. The hygiene is questionable in some places. Not recommended!

A classic tourist trap. We came across this bakery while passing by and spontaneously decided to stop by for coffee and cake... We should have read the reviews. We should have been suspicious that there were no prices posted in the display. Anyway, we paid €28 for two small latte macchiatos, a chocolate donut, and a strawberry vanilla croissant. (It tasted pretty good, but not at that price.) Well, a clear case of learning through pain.

Tourist trap - no prices on display, got charged €20 for a dry cheesecake and croissant with spoiled, sour custard. The croissant went straight in the trash can.

I put 1 because you can't put 0, it's the first time I've thrown away food I've just bought and tasted, AVOID AT ALL COSTS DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKE

I don’t know what yall talking about. This place is gas.

I had a garnished waffle! It cost me €12.50, it was very dry and served by a stoned guy! Disrespectful!

The product is delicious but really expensive. We ate medium churros for 2 people, 14€. They should balance the prices a bit. Very expensive

No prices on display. Highly overpriced food

Too good to be true. It looked amazing! But it tasted so so dry. Really stiff and not nice. Plus at the time we went there were kids running around and being loud, that were part of the shop.

The prices listed on the board aren't what's being charged. You're being cheated out of your money.

€9 for an iced waffle! No prices on display. Tourist trap 100%

There was a sign about the price of an ice cream scoop (2euros), the guy asked for 2,5 and I gave him 3, but then he asked for 3,5. At first I thought I was misunderstood, but we all heard 2,5…unbelievable…

I payed for one Donut 8.50 Euros.

The stuff is so rude for no reason at all

10€ for a waffle, it was good but too expensive

19 euros for two pieces of dry cake, purchased 5 years ago. Number of stars speaks for itself.

If you’re into paying 15 euros for a stale croissant that tastes like it was baked during the Great Depression, this is the place for you. Advertised as 5 euros, but surprise! They charge extra for toppings like air and regret. The menu is pure fiction, and the prices change depending on how gullible you look. While I was choking down my overpriced relic of a pastry, other customers literally threw their meals in the trash—which, honestly, is the best thing you can do with this "food." Absolute tourist trap. Avoid unless you enjoy being scammed and insulted.

Looks amazing, the flavour is good but absolutely rock hard... Must have been there for days.

After an eventful night, we decide to eat a new traditional cake which is very good but seriously SUPER EXPENSIVE!

We came across this restaurant with neotaste and would have been better off reading the reviews here. There are no prices on the baked goods. We chose the Dubai croissant and the vanilla croissant with strawberries. We should have asked for the price better because despite 2 for 1 we got 15€!! Paid for the Dubai Croissant. Because I couldn't believe it when he typed the price into the device. When asked, the answer was that it was already 2 for 1 because the Dubai croissant costs €15 and the strawberry vanilla costs €13. Absolute impudence. We also only got paper plates on site. Nothing special in terms of taste. A small child is also playing around with a spatula in the kitchen. Not very hygienic...as already described several times, an absolute tourist trap.

I orderd a hot chocolate for 5€, instead i got a Kakao cup which usually coste 0.50€.

Terrible experience at this cafe! Ridiculously expensive and they up charge for everything, yet they lead you to believe it’s included. Two coffee’s, a small ice cream, waffle and eclair cost us €44.00. Don’t visit this place unless you want to pay ridiculous prices for terrible food. Awful!

Kind of overpriced products, but other than that, food was amazing.

I recommend, the man from Syria is very nice. The food is fresh and very delicious🫶🏽

The cheesecake wasn't good and way too expensive, everything just looks great

I paid €18 for a cream croissant and a not-fresh chocolate “waffle”… I unfortunately realized this once the card was placed on the terminal. The prices charged do not correspond to those displayed. A total scam! To flee

Visit in The night in October 2024 was short yet very sweet. Great sweets quality, nice service, two guys were fine and clarified our order 👍 Prices are just as any other place in Amsterdam: not cheap as before.. Great waffles and pancake! Thanks!!🥳

NEVER WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!! We paid 20 euros for 1 cookie and 1 waffle. The waffle, which is supposed to be soft, was as hard as a brick. The cookie too. Damn it!!!!!! Almost broke our teeth. I will never go here again.

good and big pastry and sweets. price is not low but worth the experience

Made up prices, €7 for a macron. Seller very unfriendly and ripped us off

Tourist trap with made up prices. Seller unsympathetic, very bad

This place used a very small kitten (i think 1 month max) as an advertisement object, by tidying him to a rope and placing him in front of the entrance. You should be closed for this. Such a shame.

Treated ourselves to unique donuts and waffles

4 euros per bottle of water. End of joke.

Not recommended. It's that I got it. Donuts and waffles are rock hard. The macarons don't really have any taste either. For that price you expect more. Tastes like it has been there for a long time, but just threw it away. Food is actually not worth a star. Would go for dunkin donuts. Same price range for a delicious product.

€20 for a bad waffle and 2 scoops of ice cream lol
