The Villy Rhapsody in De Kolenkit

Very tasty and fast. I recommend

Been here 4 times over the span of 3 years because it is close to my house (and the only place like it in short walking distance) and I just keep hoping it'll be better. Every time I have been here staff don't see you come in and nobody greets you when you sit down, even if its almost empty inside. Takes more than 15 mins for someone to notice you and then you have to ask for a menu yourself. After getting a menu they either instantly forget about you, or they do so after bringing you your 1st drink. Have always had to go up to the desk to order the rest or a new round of coffees/drinks because its like you become a ghost to them. They are kind though, even if bad at their work. They seem to serve randomly (aka helping people who come in after you first) and its very unprofessional. It seems like they dont each have their own 'zone' to pay attention to and serve which makes it very messy. My tip if you can't get servers to keep an eye on tables and people coming in is to make everyone order at the desk and give you table numbers. It'll instantly solve the issue. I'm used to Amsterdam pricing, especially with the use of good products, but even for that the proportions are off. Though very tasty, the food portions are very small for what you pay. Glad to say the quality of the food has gone up in 3 years though. Last time I was here was with my partner for a little drink and snack stop on our way, and not only did I end up having to order at the desk again, we were told only the smaller snacks would be available as it was an hour til closing (which is fine) but when I ordered they said nothing could be made anymore. This made no sense with the food times on the menus either. (I don't remember exactly... Something only available after 15:00 I think but then apparently you only serve it for an hour because you stop serving food and hour before closing.. Why bother) Will also never forget the time I ordered and espresso martini and had it served, foamless, in a white wine glass.... Sorry but that was just... No

Yummy breakfast (especially, I was told) croissants and marmelade in the Wakey Wakey breakfast). The avocado spread and sourdough bread are amazing. Friendly service and excellent cappuccino.

Nice lunchroom, with a nice menu. Vega and Vegan options are really nice. Unfortunatly their portions are quiet smalll. €9 for one piece of bread with toppings is kind of a ripp off. Most lunchrooms offer 2 pieces of bread for the same menu :)

A really nice place with a nice interior and lots of fun games that you can play there. It's a shame that quite often when I order a drink after renting a workplace, I am surprisingly easily forgotten. Making eye contact with the service is not always easy. I too have had staff speak English to me unnecessarily, but that is largely an Amsterdam ailment and I am not inclined to take it personally. The staff is simply pleasant and nice and the choice of drinks is great. 👌🏻 I hope to be forgotten less often in the future.

Had asked the name of the chef. Food was great. Thank you, Nafisa!

After 2 years living in this area of Amsterdam I can confirm with strong confidence that The Villy offers a great selection of food, drinks and pastries. The service (Valerio always know what I need even before I ask) and the atmosphere are undoubtedly top notch. I highly recommend this place.

Top tent. Hope you will also open one a little further away at square 40-45!

Cozy place where you can drink good coffee, pastries, close to the tram, buses and the New Kit hotel. The pistachio cookie is excellent, a little sweet, the latte machiato was also very good and the moccachino too. There is a wide choice with plant-based alternatives (soy, coconut, almond, etc.). The service is good, the waitress is professional and present. She knows her map and guides us if necessary. Cozy and original interior atmosphere. Industrial and Scandinavian style. Many people come to work in this café and it is very friendly.

So good we came 5 times lol 😅 we came for breakfast and lunch while staying at hotel new kit nearby. The food and drinks are really good quality and the prices are very reasonable. Also cool quirky interior and lovely staff.

I just had a coffee, and a workmeeting there. There was plenty of space, good location, several tables laptopfree, but others that allowed it. Good atmosphere.

Cosy atmosphere and well designed coffee shop. I have been there for a breakfast. The wacky wacky formula was yummy and the price was correct for the quality + friendly staff. Halal and vegan options were really the cherry on top. I recommend!

Quite tasty, pleasant vibe, but the dishes took a very long time to prepare

I think it is a shame that everyone next to me was always addressed in Dutch by the Dutch staff and I was always addressed in English just after, even when I order and talk back in Dutch. The only difference between me and them was our appearance. Don't decide for yourself whether someone can speak Dutch or not, but listen to them. It feels very annoying. Especially in a place that portrays itself as a safe space. Everything else is fine.

We enjoyed an excellent breakfast with delicious coffee. Savory Pancakes and The Real Dutch Uitsmijter are highly recommended. :) Fresh ingredients, friendly service, a cozy atmosphere and fair prices make this location what it is. We'd love to come back.

my boyfriend and i love the bread.

Such a nice place with amazing food and very friendly & flexible service. Especially Konstantina made our visit a great time…

I loved the food (this was the Karma Kebab salad), but the staff needs to improve their way of dealing with guests. They don’t really notice you when you come in, they have you wait for more than ten minutes, they don’t bring you the menu, and they don’t look at you when you pay the bill. Also, it’s annoying to see them walking around with dirty dishes all of the time.

Generally the food and ambience at the Villy is amazing! The service is quite poor though. It’s not the first time it’s happened but the most recent experience - waited 15 mins for someone to come take our order and no one came. The staff was attending to all other tables around us and no one even stopped to check if we had placed an order or not. Eventually, frustrated - we left.

Had an incredibly wonderful afternoon with friends and family after my civil wedding at the Stadsloket. Delicious sandwiches. Sweet girls in the business who thought carefully about the wishes of our group. Absolutely great!!!

It was very quiet and pleasant, the service was very friendly and there was a relaxing atmosphere all around.

We were under a lot of time pressure when we came here for breakfast. The staff tried very hard and was friendly so that we could finish on time. And the food was very tasty!

The Villy in Amsterdam impresses with its modern, chic decor and inviting atmosphere. The food is delicious: the pancakes are heavenly and the avocado toast is a true delight. The friendly staff ensures a pleasant experience. A visit is worthwhile for anyone who appreciates good food and a stylish ambiance. I live in Nieuw-West and will come again :)

At this place, I experienced the best customer service in the 8 years I’ve been living in Europe. A very kind Greek girl offered a smile and advice on the food. Such a great atmosphere, which made the food taste like heaven.

Hier 2 jaar na ons bezoek weer geluncht. Het grote deel van de kaart is Vega geworden. We aten een gepocheerd ei met hiisgemaakte avocado spread en een crossiant met een heerlijke jam. Daarbij heerlijke smoothies. We hebben genoten hier, lekker buiten op het terras. De dame in de bediening was tevens erg vriendelijk.

Nice place for a coffee, snack or breakfast.

Very nice concept! Good quality comfort food and drinks. Service is super unorganized and slow. It's a shame because it's a really nice place. Hope they work on it and become a bit more professional.

Really my favorite place to have a nice coffee, but very often the coffee is cold, I always hear this from others so I really try to pay attention to that. The coffee itself is tasty so it's a shame! And delicious brownies 😍

I understand the idea behind a paid work spot... but it is sometimes unclear where this is possible, how it works and apparently also difficult to enforce for the staff. I sometimes come for a work meeting and if I just grab the laptop I am sent to the indicated “laptop table” which is always full. In addition, I was ignored today after being sent to the big table with my laptop. I wasn't asked if I wanted to order anything. Worked for an hour without consuming anything. I think this regulation also misses its target and that is “service”. Hopefully you can help with this sincere feedback.

Best breakfast we had over a long weekend in Amsterdam. Delicious and fresh food with quality ingredients. Helpful and friendly service. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and very clean.

We were staying in a hotel next door and we went for breakfast three days, the service was great and the variety was notable, the only drawback was the price, which was quite high, although for this country it was not unreasonable either. The atmosphere is very good and relaxed, even to be able to work.

Sincerely the best coffeeshop . They have beans from Friedhats. I don't know how they do it but I've never had better coffee in my life. Beautiful place with wonderful staff. I can only recommend! ❤️❤️❤️

The service is great - lovely staff and very accommodating. The atmosphere is relaxed, open, and inviting. While the food is tasty, the menu could be more interesting. I appreciate that it’s likely well-thought through for the neighbourhood it’s located in (the dishes are very accessible), personally, I think it could benefit from some surprises to elevate the experience. Having said that, The Villy really adds value to the neighbourhood. :)

I come here often for the delicious coffee. The staff are really friendly!

Nice cosy spot which is very casual. Laptops only allowed on certain shared tables (which I think should be implemented more often at other establishments) to free up more space for other customers. Coffee is good but at a slightly higher price point than average. The savoury pancakes are a bit strange because of the maple syrup which is poured over everything, therefore not making them savoury anymore????. Will definitely recommend to others.

Very nice breakfast restaurant, very polite, nice. But wait times to order 30min+. Otherwise the food is great 👍🏼

Skinny salad. Sweet potato was still hard and the 'grilled chicken' was gone after two or three bites. Two pieces of broccoli and two pieces of zucchini. For the price-quality ratio I would be better off going to the AH. Not to be repeated.

Just a cozy café where you can do your work on your laptop without compromising the atmosphere. Furthermore, the coffee is quite good, but that depends on the barista, some have more experience than others. You can see this, for example, in how the milk is frothed. I am very satisfied with the interior and the many workplaces in the café. The owner is customer friendly and involved with the customers. So keep it up, but one small point for improvement is the inexperienced baristas.

Super nice café. Very friendly staff. The kimchi toast was delicious

Guy in the pony tail was rude and sarcastic. Food was served cold l, definitely wouldn’t recommend going.

We got the best breakfast served by an amazing team! We enjoyed some savoury pancakes with some amazing filter coffee. Big thank you! We gonna come again. 🫶🏽

We came here after kings day for an amazing breakfast. Great service, really good food :)

Staff were very rude, didn’t speak to us or want to seat us. We ended up leaving and just asking for a coffee to take away, this took almost half an hour for them to make. The place it’s self is nice but awful owner and staff, would not recommend

Would leave a 0 if possible. Me and some friends who are not dutch came in to have some breakfast. We were then met with an incredibly rude waiter with long hair and glasses who said we cant come and eat without a reservation. A group of dutch people came in after us without a reservation and they were say down straight away without any worries or trouble. It seems like they are incredibly rude to us because we were not dutch and refused to seat us. The guy with the long hair and glasses is not made out for hospitality and needs a career change. Dont come here.

I loved the welcome and the service which was quite fast. They make delicious things and what's more, it's balanced! I recommend it to you.

Welcoming and friendly staff. Very pleasant atmosphere and healthy and hearty breakfasts.

chill study café, it’s nicer when the sun comes out

Love this place. Chill, modern and inclusive. Even in Ramadan, they have accommodated fasting clients with need-not-order policy (but use co-working facilities). Very creative, with distinct areas for no-laptop usage.

I've been here 4 times and each time I've had to wait 45 minutes to an hour. I did my best to understand the crowds, but I soon noticed that customers who arrived a while after me were helped earlier. This has been the case every time I have come. You hear that you only have to wait 5 minutes longer because it is busy, but after an hour you are still overlooked even though it has already become quiet. Very unfortunate because the food is delicious and the atmosphere is cozy, but unfortunately you won't see me again :(

Very clean and with lots of variety

lovely cafe with dedicated tables for laptops and ones for the cool kids who just wanna hang and chat. nice lattes and teas to choose from. cool hipster decor. lots of events too. recommend!

Good food, shame about the staff being a little rude

After an unpleasant experience, Oumaima helped us very well. She heard our story, showed understanding and even apologized for someone else. The icing on the cake was that we were also allowed to have a cup of coffee and something tasty. We are no longer disappointed and will definitely visit again. Next time especially for her!

I had to wait one hour for a cappuccino and a brownie. Everyone looked so busy with doing nothing. Nice place but skip it

Delicious breakfast near Bos & Lommerplein.

adorable café! everyone was very friendly and we had a great brunch on a super cozy couch :) 11/10

This place is warm with a cozy atmosphere and friendly staff, a bit slow though. I got the turmeric chai latte and the pulled chicken salad which was really tasty.

Nice place, but the fact that you now have to pay for a seat per minute is really a reason to sit somewhere else.

great atmosphere and delicious food

Nice place, cozy atmosphere and tasty food! We also did Christmas bingo yesterday and that was well organized and a fun evening! Recommended!

Very nice atmosphere and cosy warm vibes. I will go again.

Great atmosphere with a lovely staff

Very nice atmosphere - a gezellig restaurant! Congrats on the quality of the bread (I understand it is from a nearby bakery) - it really elevates your food: which was on the average side - room for improvement on the leek soup (not very flavourful) and how the poached egg was (over) cooked.

Very nice food, good size portions. A bit on the expensive side. Good for brunch/breakfast. Wide selection of hot drinks. Very nice atmosphere

Very cute cozy interior cafe, so happy to have this place in the neighborhood. Perfect place for work & read, weekend brunch, coffee catch up etc. They have good coffee. Food is good but not outstanding considering the price. Staff are nice and friendly. Overall, I like this place a lot :) Some tables are laptop free, but they also have other tables dedicated for PC users with power sockets, free wifi available too.

Gezellige plek, leuke activiteiten, toffe werkplek én smaakvol ingericht, met super vriendelijke bediening. Ik bestelde het lunch trio bestaand uit een slaatje, soep en sandwich. Het was lang wachten, ongeveer 40 minuten en de selderij soep was helaas echt heel erg smakeloos. Het slaatje had geen dressing en was basically gewoon een bakje slablaadjes. De sandwich (pulled chicken) daarentegen was erg lekker. Twee thee besteld, ook op beiden meer dan 15 minuten gewacht. Shame!

In addition to being a great place to have your breakfast, it is very clean and organized, everyone is to be congratulated

Nice Cafe good vibe and great places to open up a laptop!

Great vanilla chai, very cute place, nice atmosphere.

Direkt an der Hauptstraße, aber OK!

Wij hebben hier tijdens ons bezoek aan Amsterdam heerlijk ontbeten. De bediening is vriendelijk en de ambiance is goed. Mijn vriend heeft er een paar uurtjes zitten werken en ook daar is het een geschikte plek voor. Wel moesten we lang wachten op onze bestelling en waren er veel kinderen in het café (waar the Villy natuurlijk niks aan kan doen, maar wat wij wel als enigszins hinderlijk ervaarden.)

Really enjoyed this cozy atmosphere and stylish place. And food was so good!

This was great. I was staying nearby but only went in on my last day - wish I'd found it on my first. Great atmosphere and the staff were really good. Highly recommend.

Very nice and unassuming breakfast food :) They have a variety of tables types to choose from, from normal cafe tables to couches or a big shared desk if you need to work on your laptop.

Delicious food and coffee, great vibe! Best croissant I’ve had in a long time.

War super lecker! Tolles Frühstücksangebot. Absolut empfehlenswert 👍🏼

Ik kom hier altijd om te werken. Het is een super gezellig werkcafe met heerlijke koffie. Het eten is ook super lekker. Al met al een gezellig tentje :)

Amazing place! Food was great, atmosphere was great, the staff was great! I’ll definitely go back!

My favorite spot. Love the atmosphere and the staff is also very kind. :)

Too long time to get the food Small plate

The vibe of this place is outstanding. They have both "working" areas with chargers for laptops and single tables and ample communal space with larger tables for groups to sit and chat. Their brownies are indeed noteworthy (though they would benefit from getting heated up), yogurt bowls are nutritious and they have filter coffee (hurrah!).

Been going here almost daily for a year and the staff is incredible. Great coffee and fresh lunch. A great neighborhood spot.

Ik ben hier met 9 collega's geweest voor mijn afscheidsborrel. We hadden heerlijke borrelplankjes, plus drankjes voor 18,5 pp. Zeer aan te raden! De sfeer is goed. Mooie moderne maar gezellige entourage en het personeel was echt super aardig en attent. Ze hadden ook halal kip voor onze collega's die alleen halal eten. Al in al zeer een juweeltje van een café!

Locale molto accogliente: lo abbiano trovato nel quartiere in cui alloggiavamo e ci ha ispirato da subito!
C’è una zona laptop per studiare, prese, ampi tavoli per lavorare o incontrare persone. Il caffè è buono e l’opzione dolce per il Brunch ci ha soddisfatto (originali i Pancake con crema al caffè). Abbiamo anche preso dei dolcetti per asporto: molto buoni soprattutto il Brownie. Ben organizzato, buono e con una una bella atmosfera.

The food was alright, nothing special. The problem was the wait, 50 minutes for okay food and decently expensive (13 euros for a salad)

Great place for breakfasts and co-working

It’s located in a clean and tidy part of the city, the waitress was super pleasant, the food and drinks were great and the prices were more than reasonable. Great!

Heerlijke pannenkoekjes met vers fruit en sojajoghurt met munt gegeten. Boterham met avocadospread, gepocheerd ei en tomaten, goed van smaak maar vond het een wat kleine portie. Goede kop koffie! Bediening erg vriendelijk. Leuke zaak, aanwinst voor de buurt. Komen zeker terug.

i loveeee the villy, perfect place for your daily matcha :) the mozzarella special sandwich is amazing and this is a good place to study as well !

One of my favorite places for both relaxing and working in Amsterdam West. Good coffee, nice selection of foods and friendly staff. Furthermore, there are plenty of spots to sit, and the interior has been crafted with a lot of attention for detail. Recommend!

Nice place to work and have a little lunch. Off all the spaces I’ve worked and had lunch, this is pretty up there. Prices are actually really good.

Good food Excellent quality for good prices. I especially like having breakfast at the Villy. Warm and inviting Ambiance Wonderful and friendly staff

The location is easy to find. It is at the main avenue close the bus and tram stops. The menu: The menu has several options for breakfast and snacks. You can add items to your dishes for a reasonable price and there are options for different tastes. The food: It was delicious. I had breakfast there everyday while I was in Amsterdam. All the dishes were very good and with the right amount of spices. Their brownie is delicious. The staff: Everybody very friendly and willing to help. I enjoyed the service and their attentiveness to us. Make sure to tip them well, they deserve it. The place: It is beautiful inside and there are desks for working (with switches and enough spaces between the desks) as well as spacious booths to a whole family. There are tables facing a small garden which provide a nice view when working or enjoying a coffee. Also, the decoration is very neat with different types of arts. The toilet was clean.
