Very good café restaurant for a sweet or savory brunch. Fresh products, excellent pastries!

Perfect breakfast, no long waiting times prices were very fair. Cozy atmosphere and very kind service.

The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with a great selection that caters to every taste. A beautiful café with exceptionally friendly staff — we love it!

Nice food, nice atmosphere, nice staff

The best breakfast restaurant in Amsterdam. I highly recommend it. They have an Egyptian chef.

Must-try brunch in Amsterdam, the employees were so adorable!

Delicious shakshuka. Great little spot!

Vinnies: Where design, energy, and nourishment align. As a designer who values thoughtful aesthetics, functional service, and clean nutrition, I approach dining out with high standards — especially when time is limited and focus is essential. Vinnies, in Amsterdam’s Zuid/Rivierenbuurt, meets these standards with clarity and character. It’s not a quiet retreat, but rather a lively, well-run space where efficiency and quality coexist in perfect balance. ⸻ Location & Atmosphere Located in the elegant Zuid district, far from the crowds of the old city, Vinnies attracts a local clientele — professionals, neighbors, and friends meeting to exchange thoughts or simply pause the day. The interior is compact and seating is dense, which adds to the vibrant energy of the room. It’s not a place for silence — but the kind of background noise that makes you feel embedded in local life, not lost in it. Despite the pace, the space feels curated and intentional. There’s a pulse to the environment that energizes rather than overwhelms. ⸻ Service What impressed me most was the staff’s control over the rhythm of the place. Even amid a packed room, service is seamless. Orders are taken with ease — sometimes in passing — and always arrive correctly and on time. Dishes are served simultaneously when you dine with a companion, which I consider essential. The team is responsive, friendly, and well-organized — clearly used to operating under pressure without losing presence or grace. ⸻ Design & Presentation The visual experience is noteworthy. From the interior styling to the professionally typeset menu, there’s evidence of design intelligence throughout. The menu layout in particular is exceptional — clear, considered, and easy to navigate even in a fast-paced setting. It reflects the values of the kitchen: structured, clean, modern. ⸻ Food Philosophy Vinnies’ menu is grounded in nutrition and balance — not as a trend, but as a principle. Sourdough bread, clean proteins, and fresh produce dominate the selection. Grain bowls with fruit are well-structured and thoughtfully portioned, and subtle additions like pumpkin seeds are not only delicious but nutritionally sound. A slice of lemon to add brightness — optional, yet welcome. Equally appreciated is the ability to customize: adding a boiled egg, avocado, or fish to a meal is simple, and these options make it easy to scale your intake based on need — a detail especially valuable to those who train or work long hours. ⸻ Water Service & Small Suggestions The way water is served at Vinnies deserves specific mention. A perfectly chilled bottle is brought without delay, glasses prepped with lemon and ice. Simple, but elevated. If there’s anything to refine, I would suggest adding optional condiments like Tabasco, a teaspoon of mustard, or a drizzle of olive oil — easily stored, quickly served, and ideal for guests with sharper palates. Also, while the smoked chicken is flavorful, I’d personally welcome the option of a poached fillet — leaner, cleaner, and better aligned with the restaurant’s overall nutritional approach. ⸻ Final Thoughts Vinnies is a high-energy, highly competent brunch destination that serves a discerning, health-conscious audience without pretense. You will not be the only one who wants a table — so do book ahead. 10/10. I will absolutely return.

Really: nicest experience I had since a long time having breakfast somewhere. Good food, very friendly service (which is rare in Amsterdam nowadays…). Will be back!

We had Omega 3 breakfast (mackerel mousse really nice) and pancakes, both very delicious 😍😍

Foods great, coffee awesome. Great service

Best breakfast in Amsterdam!! Really delicious and good portion sizes!!

Amazing refined all day brunch.

If you come early in the morning, it will be calm and silent. Food was good, coffees are tasty, recommended!

If there’s typical brunch restaurant you imagine (with ladies particularly). Stereo type.

Have eaten there maybe 50 times and every time it is just great! Friendly staff, good dishes, no long waiting times and delicious coffee. It remains an absolute must for those who want to have a nice lunch, not too fancy but want to eat well.

We went in the morning to have our brunch and we were very well received. The staff was smiling and helpful. In addition, the products were fresh and of very good quality. For our part, we chose the "Vinnies Omega 3 Breakfast" and the "Low Carb, high protein" with a home made green Iced tea and an Americano. All accompanied by a free carafe of lemon water. The only downside is that the place is quite small so it can quickly become noisy.

Cozy spot with a healthy and tasty brunch menu. Everything we tried was fresh and well prepared. Friendly service and chill vibe, perfect for a slow morning. Would definitely come back for another breakfast or lunch!

Great café for breakfast. Good selection and super delicious. The food arrived very quickly and was still prepared with love. The servers were also very friendly.

Excellent service and delicious food. Would have enjoyed more salad options, but it was great as it is. The coffee and the cappuccino were top. They have tables indoor and outdoor. Staff is friendly and always with a smile. It's totally worth visiting. No need for reservation.

We visited Vinnies and enjoyed the Mexican eggs and the ventaltaefjes both dishes were tasty, filling, and well-prepared. The eggs had a nice kick, a bit on the spicy side. The latte and Americano were fine and went well with the meal. Service was courteous, and the overall vibe was relaxed, though the place was a bit lively and noisy at times. A good spot for a casual and satisfying meal.

Very tasty breakfast, especially the Gouda bread is highly recommended

Delicious food, light food, ideal for hot days

We love having brunch in this place, esp Mexican eggs & orange juice are recommended. They also make Chai Latte, which is one of my favorites! Highly recommended.

Very fast delivery and service - there was almost no wait. The staff is incredibly polite and always with a smile. The atmosphere is cozy, the food is fresh and tasty. Great place for breakfast or light lunch!

Highly recommend! Excellent food and great service.

Egg varieties are quite good, this is the right address for a satisfying breakfast.

Delicious brunch spot. They have many options sweet and savoury but I recommend the Omega 3 breakfast, it is so good. They also have cocktails and great coffee

It's a great café with friendly staff and an amazing brunch. We ordered different dishes and all of them were perfect. Highly recommend 👌

Great place for a simple lunch. The menu is small. Very tasty lentil soup, the portion of salad is simply huge. Pleasant, unobtrusive service, clean and bright inside.

Nice breakfast, outside in the sun. Very friendly service. It can hardly be better Delicious red lentil soup and veggie breakfast

Really wanted to like this place, but I didn’t. The employees were nice, the interior was cozy, but the food was just not good. The sandwiches were frugal and the overall taste was not that good. For the prices they are asking, the food was just not good enough. Also the pancakes were just not.. it.

Best breakfast we had in Amsterdam do far. Superb coffe.

Had the mexican eggs and beans breakfast. Very good! Full of flavour and the presentation was great! Service was outstanding. Great coffee also. Definitely recommend.

For work reasons I have gone to Vinnies for breakfast two days in a row and I recommend it. I would have no problem repeating it a third time 🤩. The first day I ordered a yogurt with granola and fruit which, at first, I thought was a little expensive, then I realized that they put a good amount. The second day I ordered some pancakes 🥞🫐🍌, how good!!! And I'm not usually crazy about these things that are so sugary, but very delicious. The service was very good and also the atmosphere. I recommend the site if you need to work from a cafeteria 👩🏽‍💻.

Lovely staff and delicious food.

Ordered Shakshuka and Chai latte. Both were really good and tasty. Chai was not too sweet, probably the best chai latte I have had thus far anywhere.

Excellent. Had the pancakes and the omega3 breakfast with fresh juice. Both were great.

Nice place! Delicious coffee and carrot cake is highly recommended!

Delicious, fresh produce and great options to choose from. A cute little place to have a coffee and read or meet friends.

Everything was delicious. Atmospheric and nice cafe. It's almost always full. You must reserve in advance

The staff were helpful and friendly, which made the visit so pleasant. Even though it was quite crowded, they took our order quickly and efficiently. I had the Omega-3 breakfast, and it was freshly made and delicious!

Great cafe for brunch. The service was kind.

Great breakfast, and services, as always. Consistently high quality.

Vinnies is my favorite spot in Amsterdam. I’ve tried almost every dish on their menu, and everything is always amazing—high-quality and consistently delicious. The fact that their food is organic is a huge plus, especially because it’s essential for my mother’s health. We come to Vinny’s almost every day—if not twice, at least once. The staff are always friendly, and the owner is wonderful. The coffee is always spot-on, and the matcha latte is absolutely perfect. I can’t believe it’s taken me years to write this review, but Vinnies deserves every bit of praise!

Fantastic food, coffee, and prompt service.

Delicious brunch here. The Turkish eggs were delicious and service was good too. Definitely recommend for brunch!

Popular brunch spot near a busy road. Was asked if we had a booking. Managed to get seated outside on a picnic table. Took a while for everything to arrive including the drinks. Ok meal. Quite pricey.

It was my first meal in Amsterdam and the truth is that after that nothing seemed delicious to me. I want to come back

Very nice café, small and sufficient menu, the food was very tasty and prepared quickly, good selection of cakes. We would come back :)

This was my first restaurant experience for my first trip to the Netherlands, and what an amazing high bar Vinnies set. We ordered the Omega-3 Breakfast, Banana Split Pancakes, and a slice of their fresh apple pie. All the flavors were incredibly well balanced and refreshing; it was a vibrant breakfast to start the day. The atmosphere is very cozy as well, like a warm café. The next time I'm in the country, I absolutely must visit again.

Very good cafe, the food is great. However, if you have a larger group, you should make a reservation.

Great brunch spot with very friendly service, good coffee and amazing Ruben sandwich!!! I’ve had the spicy kimchi version and it was amazing. Thanks for having us!

The food was just amazing! Love the matcha latte. The vibe is buzzing and vibrant. The service was a bit strange - I was turned down when asking for a table (perhaps it’s not a spot for tourists) but when my dutch friend arrived 5 mins later and requested it the waitress hesitantly gave us one. It made me feel uncomfortable as if she didn’t want to seat me in there.

Great service, greater staff. I’ve had my Çılbır aka Turkish eggs with some Dutch touch. Best Çılbır in Western EU so far. I was so hungry so I forgot to take the photo :(

Super cute cafe, we had a very good breakfast

Turkish eggs were good but swimming in too much oil. Poor reception service yet the table service was excellent. Nothing special.

We liked it. We went with a group of friends, tried shakshuka, pancakes and a traditional breakfast with eggs. Everything is incredibly delicious. Both food and drinks. There is a choice from espresso to hot chocolate. It is also possible to order a drink with alternative milk. My shakshuka was delicious, with cilantro, a little spicy, everything was just right. It was served with soft buns for dipping in egg and sauce. My husband tried the pancakes, they were fluffy, moderately sweet, with delicious syrup and nuts.

The food was very tasty and the price was completely reasonable for Amsterdam standards. The shop is also very nicely decorated and the coffee tastes good.

Lovely outdoor sitting, super tasty ingredients, freshly squeezed orange juice, and good coffee. We were staying in the area to attend an international conference and this became our go-to spot! Service is not super fast, but we were not in a rush — the slow and chill pace was great to start the day.

We had breakfast at Vinnies 3x out of the 5 days we stayed at the airbnb. We tried two other breakfast restaurants that have over 1k reviews and neither one came close to Vinnies. We love the service, the food and coffee, and the atmosphere. We also had a nice chat with Danny one of the days. Lastly, kudos to the staff and owners for taking pride in their restaurant by keeping it neat and clean especially the bathroom — that’s how I judge restaurants and people’s home!

We have tried the sandwiches, and what I like the most is that the ingredients are bio/organic, the bread is special and everything is chosen with care.

Very warm welcome, cuisine with fresh produce.

Update: i went again for breakfast early morning and it was not crowded, the service was faster and the food delicious. They also have sencha with fair quality We really loved the food, but had to wait for more than one hour. Rather than that five stars!

The food was delicious and the serving size was big. We had great hot drinks and a nice relaxing atmosphere that allowed us to recover from long international flight with tasty ingredients.

Perfect breakfast place. Banana pancakes are amazing👌 omega-3 breakfast as well.

So good I went back. The Mexican eggs are amazing

Homely atmosphere, friendly staff, fast and no long waiting times for ordered products, open kitchen so that you can also see what is happening in the kitchen

Enjoyed breakfast twice at that lovely place. Service is great. Ordered pancakes and granola. Both very delicious! Also had the cinnamon bun. Heavenly! Must eat on site as they get heated in the oven and than caramelise nicely. Next time in Amsterdam we will be back for sure. Highly recommended!

When I entered in the morning, I was pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome and cozy atmosphere. The breakfast was excellent with fresh bread and tasty ingredients that give you a good start to the day. The service was also great: friendly, attentive and fast!

A great find in Amsterdam! We had an amazing breakfast. Service is excellent, place was pleasant and very organized. Nice music too.

Everything great!! Definitely recommended.

Omega 3 breakfast and the Shakshouka Fast service, very kind wait staff, cute lil area

Just stopped by while we were in the area visiting the miffy store down the street. We are visiting tourists from the USA and really had a lovely brunch here! We sat outside by the street and the food came out quickly. I got the Dutch juice (ginger cinnamon orange juice - I really liked it but it's not for folks who don't like ginger), the Shakshouka was excellent and the omega-3 breakfast was good too. Everything was super fresh, you could tell the ingredients were good quality and it was really tasty.

The best spot for breakfast in Amster , very delicious all day menu and very friendly staff

They serve stunningly tasty and healthy Omega-3 breakfast. The food is fresh and they cook everything in a paced manner. My favourite breakfast spot in Amsterdam.

What a nice place, nice decor, nice acoustics, helpful and friendly staff and a very nice menu. There were three of us and we couldn't choose. We were advised to choose three dishes and share them. The dishes were served in the middle of the table and we were given a small plate to eat from. A soup beforehand, absolutely fine. It's also nice that you can order some additional ingredients to give your dish a personal touch. Very tasty coffees too! We will definitely come back!

Really nice food and the service is just gorgeous 😍

Best breakfast, best coffee and above all best and friendliest service. I love the Dutch gastronomy mentality! I wish waiters in Germany would at least sometimes smile as nicely and friendly as everyone here always does as a matter of course. 😊🫶

Went here for breakfast last week. The staff was super friendly and the food was tasty. It was a lot though. The coffee was tasty too. I brought a cinabun and an oatmeal cookie to take home. The cinabun was the tastiest I have ever eaten. Now I have to come back from Rotterdam soon.

Love the caramel salted browni! Next time I will go for lunch, everything's looked so delicious 😋

Thought the food was very chill and was served quickly despite the crowds. A bit noisy due to tables that are too close together, but otherwise fine! Cinnamon roll was nice too! Coffee really needs to be better, poorly brewed.

Great place for brunch and baby friendly. Turkish eggs were excellent.

Great place for a quick breakfast before heading towards the city center or taking a canal ride.

Me and my boyfriend love to come there after our gym session! The service is really quick and we somehow never wait long to get seated or receive the food. On top of this the food is absolutely delicious. My boyfriend loved the mexican eggs, and I tried this time the Gilbir turkish eggs, which was a little too oily to my taste , but very delicious too. Those small pita bread are really stunning, a very nice addition ;) And the lentil soup was also incredibly tasty! We'd love to come again!

Very tasty, but we also visited other brunch restaurants in Amsterdam with friendlier service and better value for money. The prices are a bit high for the size of the portions

The food was very average, but the place was nice and the service was friendly

Nice local breakfast spot. We were there on Sunday, so it was a bit packed but despite of that, service was fast and efficient. Food was ok, not too different than sector standards.

Love coming to Vinnies every time we are in Amsterdam! Discovered this brunch spot a couple years ago and were delighted to be back again last week for the exact same food!

Good breakfast for the one beginning in Amsterdam

Caesar salad was very good and soup was nice as well. The staff are polite and welcoming and their attitude makes the atmosphere even better.

Ahhh those pancakes are my absolute favorite!!! I have noticed that the coffee beans have changed recently. Previous ones were tastier 🥹Ladies in the service are always darlings.

A nice place for a brunch. Food despite a great supplier can be improved. The balance of flavor and the seasoning is not amazing but the place is warm. The staff very kind and we add a 65 € bill for 2 adults and 2 children which is quite good.

Great breakfasts and exceptionally friendly service. Highly recommend!

cute place, healthy food option and many plugs for laptops👏🏼

A great place to eat, only fresh produce and a great welcome, I recommend 😄

Really lovely cafe for brunch! They can do gluten free bread so any of the dishes pretty much can be made GF! Very friendly staff and dog friendly. All the sandwiches are open face so I had the delicious avocado on toast with poached egg. And the Turkish bread to go with the Turkish breakfast was my husbands highlight.

Perfect place for girls’ BFFs’ hang out. The food is well done, service good,

A nice cafe for breakfast or brunch. The portions are good. I had the Omega-3 breakfast with salmon and scrambled eggs. Also the roast beef sandwich. In the latter case, the sauce with blue cheese is not for every taste, I would say. But it was delicious. My friend wanted the baked oats, but accidentally got something else. Points deducted for this.
