Vlaamsch Broodhuys Frederik Hendriklaan Den Haag in Wijk 09 Geuzen- en Statenkwartier

We have been coming to this place for years. Yesterday, our visit was quite disappointing. The staff was slow and uninterested, tables were not cleared, and the bakery display looked messy. The food was okay, but nothing more than that. This place is going downhill. A shame.

The food was tasty, but I do find it expensive; for example, a toasted sandwich for over 12 euros. And what I personally find a shame is that you don't get a cookie or candy at all with coffee, cappuccino, etc. I think that makes for a very bare cup of coffee for over 4 euros. Otherwise, it was flavorful.

For a Dutch name for a sandwich shop, I would expect a Dutch menu. The menu is entirely in English. Now, this isn't a disaster in itself, but come on... Ordered a salmon sandwich. For a sandwich costing nearly €15, you do expect something. It was a slice of bread with a few thin slices of salmon and a thin layer of cream cheese. That was it. No salad, no dressing (yes, the lime!), absolutely nothing. I do have to compliment you on the fact that the slice of bread was cut into 4 pieces for this price.

Very fast service and very good coffee

CARD PAYMENTS ONLY?! honest review, we ordered: Latte (my request was to make it as hot as possible) Smoothie for kid (my request was make it not cold) And a cake with strawberries. We received: warm milk (maybe with few drops of coffee to make it smell like actual latte) half glass of ice with half of a glass of smoothie in between. At least cake was ok. We paid 17€

They were very kind and the service was amazing👍

Had a nice time sitting outside, really good chai latte with oat milk. And very tasty muffins, and they were very sweet to have been warmed up. Service was top-notch. I go there often with my mother.

Nice people work here and the tuna salad sandwich arrived super fast!

It took 10 minutes to make a flat white and another 10 minutes for warming up a vanilla muffin in an EMPTY café. When the muffin was finally ready to serve, she gave me dirty fork, looks like someone already used. Meanwhile, another customer who came in after me received a sandwich at almost the same time as I did. By then, I no longer felt like staying, so I asked for my order to be packed to go and left the café. Don’t recommend.

The food and drinks were Overprized

I wish I'd started going here earlier seeing as it is so handy to the Couvéehuis around the corner on Frankenslag, where I visit weekly. The coffee and buns were both dependable good. I had a bun with raisins and orange peel, which was right up my alley--not sweet. Their location on a corner gives you the choice of sun, shade, or a breeze outside, but also a nicely air-conditioned space inside. The staff were all very helpful, and even patient with our learning level of Dutch.

Not even worth 1 star. The service and the cashier were very unfriendly. I didn't feel welcome there, and it was the first and last time.

Where is the baby changing room?

We used to enjoy coming here. But the prices have risen drastically and no longer match the products. A sandwich with some tasteless avocado and a few crumbs of feta: €13.95. That is no longer normal. We asked for a latte macchiato and got a coffee with milk. Not very pleasant, but not good either. I was shocked by it. I don't know if we will go back here except for the bread. A shame.

On Queen's Day: 2 slices of sourdough bread with some tuna salad, 1 piece of grilled bell pepper, and 1 lettuce leaf. 10 euros; I find the price quite bizarre.

A nice spot on Frederik Hendriklaan in The Hague, combining a bakery with a café/sandwich restaurant. The staff are friendly, and the overall atmosphere is pleasant. Service could improve during the morning peak hours—when many people come in to buy bread, other customers sometimes seem to be overlooked.

Pay 4.25 for mint tea. You have to buy honey separately. Scandalous.

Nice place, good coffee and friendly service.

Friendly service! Salad with fresh ingredients, absolutely worth it.

I am on an anti-cancer diet, so whole wheat bread, no sugar, and lots of vegetables and nuts are very important to me. Het Vlaamsch Broodhuys has it all, and it is deliciously prepared too! And I was helped really warmly. I recommend them to all of you; it is veeeery worth it!

You’ll find the best Vlaamsch Broodhuys location here! This is the hidden, quiet hotspot for outdoor seating. It’s on the corner of the Fred, with the sun always shining directly in your face. The staff is warm and welcoming. They remember customers by name, the service is good, and they also allow time for repeat orders. Come and see for yourself.

Great 💞 Delicious coffee and apple pie. Exceptionally friendly staff.

My "yoghurt with seasonal fruit and granola" was served without any fruit. When I asked, she replied that that's why she'd added a bit more granola.

I buy their bread there, and only THEIR bread! The best bread in town!

It's delicious and fast, good service.

I cycled here specifically for a full breakfast. Upon arrival, I was immediately asked what I wanted to drink, which was fine. Meanwhile, I was looking at the menu. Coffee was brought, and the man immediately left after seeing me looking at the menu. I sat with my coffee for over an hour (which I finished after 5 minutes) and made several attempts to get in touch to order breakfast (and another coffee...) but unfortunately, it wasn't.

Just walked in, and an employee immediately came to the table and asked if we could deliver anything. I just had the menu in my hand, so the answer was no, we just got in. Quite expensive for a cheese sandwich: €9.95, 2 slices of old cheese and some lettuce. Ham sandwich: €9.95, 2 slices of ham, pickles, tomato... It must be because of the location that it has to be so expensive. We certainly won't be going back.

Horrible service, they forget to bring the Coffee from time to time, and you have to remind them.

To the owner: Today, tourists were enjoying their Jumbo purchases both inside and outside. I expressed my surprise several times to the manager, but he simply let them sit. So, I'll pay to be allowed to sit there... The survey would previously have been filled with purchases.

Delicious breakfast. Delicious warm rolls, and if you're short on something, they'll even replenish it for you. Highly recommended for a delicious breakfast.

Super slow cashiers. Sleeping beauties… no hurry yo serve the clients…

Located in a lovely shopping area, I happened to say "Good morning" here for breakfast. I like the atmosphere, a mix of bistro, bar, and market bustle. The sandwiches were good, a bit overpriced. The service was extremely attentive (crumbs were removed without notice after breakfast and before the second delicious cappuccino, and the table was cleaned; very good). A rating between 4 and 4.5 seems appropriate to me.

Poor value for money. It's probably a bakery that can afford its good location with overpriced sandwiches. By 2 p.m., many items were out, even though it was open until 6 p.m.

It took them 30 minutes to make a smoothie, and another 20 minutes for a croissant — in an empty café. I was about to leave when the croissant was finally ready. What was supposed to be a quick breakfast turned into a long wait. Don’t recommend

Just wanted to order something from them. We have a dog and prefer the shade...understandable. The gentleman wouldn't serve us at a table in the shade that wasn't being used because they were there. Ridiculous!!!! Very customer-friendly, too.

What a disgrace, two thinly sliced bread for 12 euros, scandalous. Service takes a very long time.

Nice products but the service is a bit slow when you want to order at the coffee corner

really overpriced for what you get, that's the bottom line.

Always great here. Friendly service, nice place for coffee and more.

We really enjoy coming here either for breakfast during weekends or to buy bread. The service is also great and fast and the food delicious.

Delicious bread, perfect for popping it in the oven at home! This tip was on the bag. I've also ordered a pastry or brownie several times...a real treat!! Beautiful location and friendly staff. Next time I'll stop by for a cup of coffee; so far I've only been there in the afternoons for takeout. Good job!!

Lovely bakery/cafe, everything is baked fresh, I asked for a light side dish, ham with mustard, it came on a large slice of wholemeal bread, I had to share it!

The coffee got served in earthen cups without an ear/handle. Very stylish but stupid with hot coffee. Try and hold the cup without burning your hands is impossible. The food was unimaginative, 3 different grilled breads ordered, and all looked the same and very tasteless. Greasy fried bread. It was served on a wooden plank that had seen the dishwasher too many times.

Cozy atmosphere and delicious food, what more could you want?

An ice-coffee does NOT mean a normal coffee with ice cubes. I thought this was a joke at first but it wasn't. Waste of money!

Ugh, the new height of stinginess in the Netherlands! With a cup of coffee, you still have to pay 1 euro to use the restroom. The Netherlands is the only country in the world where you have to pay to use the restroom. Stinginess at its finest, minimalism!

Worthless place, 13 euros for the wrong sandwich is ridiculous.

Nice products and place. I use to go there a lot but I have had enough. Unfortunately, one of the ladies working there is always very rude with the customers.

Skip this place... 9.95 for a brown sandwich with cheese, unfortunately the pickles were gone, so I added a radish... What should I think about this... This is actually extremely expensive. Two small cappuccinos and two of those sandwiches, 30 euros... Ka-ching... Never again.

Easy going bakery and coffeehouse. Great menu and delicious food

Absolutely LOVE this place. We went here twice for breakfast and the options for food were incredible. Great prices and everything. However, seeing as I was there for a school trip I only had cash to pay and they only accepted card. However, the AMAZING worker helped us out and we managed to figure out something. Overall, incredible place for breakfast, lunch, and just a nice snack!

Very rude employee, grumpy and took a long time. They are also quite expensive! Very unpleasant atmosphere.

First they stock the wrong sandwiches, and then have to pay 42 euros for 3 sandwiches to-go. Money back was impossible because 'debit card only', and the prices would differ so much because we would 'eat it here' while we clearly said take it with you, we will eat it somewhere in the sun. Had to wait 20 minutes for the sandwiches, so I asked inside as they hadn't started on the sandwiches yet. Cancellation was not possible. Terrible service, antisocial tone. Received a voucher for somewhere we don't want to come back to, why don't we get a refund, can we also get it at Albert Heijn, Hema and Jumbo? 'Policy of the case' apparently. The lady had no idea what to do with us and absolutely did not bother to ask or arrange this. The lady angrily followed us and accused us of taking pictures. Absolutely not the case. No excuses, nothing. Save the trouble, terrible tent.

Broodjes waren nogal smakeloos en zeer matig belegd. De bediening was, op de manager na, ook zeer matig. Niet voor herhaling vatbaar.

Way too expensive for what you get. There are better ones on the same street!

Good coffee. Very good sandwiches to go.

Best Saucijzenbroodjes I’ve had in the Netherlands and I’ve eaten many.

Om 15.45 uur geprobeerd een tosti voor onze kinderen te bestellen en een warme sandwich voor ons beiden. 3 personeelsleden aanwezig die vooral veel tijd hadden om rond te kijken komen ons doodleuk vertellen dat “de keuken net gesloten was”. Terwijl deze lunchzaak om 18.00 uur sluit….. Fail!

Delicious lunch. Well busy then.

Met zijn drieën geluncht bij Vlaamsch Broodhuys in Den Haag. We bestelden 2 cappuccino en 1 latte machiato. Beetje vreemd dat de cappuccino in een kommetje zonder oor en zonder schoteltje zat, maar de koffie smaakte goed. Alledrie bestelden we PROEVERIJ VAN DIMITRI’S BOTERHAMMEN, wat niet meer bleek te zijn dan een in 4 stukken gesneden bruine zuurdesem boterham op een houten plankje (à 13,95), summier belegd met EI-TRUFFELSALADE, RILLETTES VAN MAKREEL (makreel spread), AVOCADO EN FETA (Avocado spread met Feta kruimeltjes) en BOERENKIPSALADE. In een Broodhuis, gespecialiseerd in brood had ik heerlijk vers brood verwacht met een knapperige korst, maar helaas waren de korsten taai. Begrijpelijk dat ik deze tent niemand zal aanraden voor lunch.

Delicious coffee and sandwich, but poor service

Great sandwich and smoothies, same for the bakery for morning breakfast

Delicious coffee or cappuccino with a tasty lunch in the nicest street in the Netherlands, Frederik Hendriklaan in The Hague

Today we bought Olive bread and Focaccia bread. Both were stale! Especially the olive bread was literally from yesterday. If i was not far, I would go back to leave them back to the store. It is very disappointing to find this out ay home on our sunday breakfast table that we were enthusiastically prepared.

Delicious bread, as bread should be.

The price is not matching the service you get! You do get a more friendly service in McDonald's for sure!

Excellent bakery with great bread and sandwiches

Incredible edibles! The brown bread (we bought a quarter loaf) was great. Friendly and helpful staff. The ham with Gouda and the pesto chicken were also very good sandwiches.

Special: I see here on Google that the closing time of the Vlaamschbroodhuys on the Frederik Hendrikstraat is 5 o'clock... I sat on the terrace at half past three to work from there. I asked the friendly waitress if they were almost closing and said "no". 20 minutes later a less friendly waitress comes and asks if I want to order anything because she is closing soon. Attempt 1: how strange, your colleague just said something different. She shrugs…. Attempt 2: if I order something, can I stay seated for a while? Because I have an online meeting NO, she says bluntly, I'm going to clean up the terrace... Attempt 3: isn't it strange to ask if I want anything and then immediately clean up the terrace? Now it remains quiet. I would say don't go. There are so many nicer places on the Fred.

Wow. Best bakery around. Superb coffee and excellent snacks. The curry chicken sandwich is delicious . You will not be disappointed here 😀

Amazing Citroen meringue tart. And great coffee.

The "sanwiches" consist in a very thin slice of bread with a few things on top. 13 euros for one... definitely too expensive, since they are not even that tasty or special. I wouldn't reccomend to stop here for lunch or brunch.

Cappuccino was delicious but the nut cake was dry. Old? They came to take the order 3 times. No coordination among the waiters.

Walked in this morning with my wife, all tables were occupied and the big round was reserved. On the way out I ask what time the round table is reserved for. Oh you can just sit there was the answer. Ordered 2 x medium orange juice and wanted a regular sandwich, 1 cheese and 1 ham cheese. These were not on the menu, although there were other very extensive sandwiches with content that was not desirable for us. When asked what the children's sandwich looked like, we were told that a regular sandwich could be made. So no sooner said than done. Ordered 1 cheese sandwich and 1 ham/cheese sandwich with white bread. We had the drinks quickly, but the toast took a long time. In the end we got 2 cheese sandwiches, both brown, while 1 white sandwich was ordered with ham/cheese. Because it had taken so long, we left it as we had more on the agenda. The cheese had largely melted away between the slices of bread, so that the sandwich had actually become a greasy bite of the fat from the cheese with a piece of cheese here and there. At checkout we received another surprise. The sandwiches offered were not on the menu and therefore could not be purchased. However, an amount was charged twice for the luxurious extensive sandwiches. We were presented with a bill for 2 x medium orange juice and 2 runny toasties with almost no cheese left for €34.50. €12.95 for 2 brown sandwiches. Should have said this when ordering instead of saying that a regular sandwich could be made or would have delivered 2 x children's sandwiches for €6.95 each if it did meet our wishes. Skip this wannabe lunchroom, there are much nicer places further away. For €34.95 you can have unlimited spareribs for 2 people on the Willem de Zwijgerlaan, just to name something as a comparison.

Very bad I have a lactose intolerance Asked if that was possible Yes it was said may contain traces Okay, so ordered a sandwich on Monday, January 29, 2024 But these were not tracks I'm as sick as a dog Pay more attention, I hope you will give me an answer within 24:00, otherwise I will put it on Facebook because this should not happen.

Ham cheese croissant for 3.25 that looks more like bread dough than puff pastry is not worth it.

You must pay again to have the 'bottomless' teapot refilled. Why is this called a bottomless teapot and not just a teapot?

Tasty, lots of choice, nice staff, nice that you can sit.

They serve the jam, chocolate paste, and peanut butter in their original jars to every customer. I was shocked to get half eaten jam, chocolate, and peanut butter with bread crumbs from former customers. So, everyone uses their knife to get the jam from the jar. Not hygenic at all. The same shop in Theresiastraat provides the condiments in individual cups, as should be done.

The manager Alex is very nice and cheerful. Even when it is very busy, they try to make the best of it with few staff. Coffee is always delicious and the strawberry tarts are highly recommended!

Tasty croissants.. and good coffee.. highly recommended..

Two toasted sandwiches, two coffees, €30, and I couldn't help but smile. No good afternoon or goodbye either. I was just in shock. If you dare to charge such amounts, the quality and service really needs to be improved.

Ate a sandwich here with my wife at the end of the morning. While there are 3 employees sitting or hanging inside, it is a mess outside. Not a single table had been neatly cleared or cleaned. After waiting 10 minutes, someone had gathered the courage and energy to come and take our order. This was done by walking up and then looking at me questioningly for 15 seconds. No good morning or what can I help you with. Some time later I got our coffee and cheese/pastrami sandwich. This came in the form of an ordinary flattened sandwich for €11. 2 sandwiches and 2 coffees will cost you €30. Good food must be paid well, but this is not even worth €5. In short, first and last time.

Such great breads and rolls! A recommendation for anyone who loves breakfast! 😻

Top Frühstück, wir haben sehr gut gegessen, das Baba Ganoush Sandwich ist eine Empfehlung wert. Wie kommen gerne wieder her.

Un peu d angleterre en Hollande pour mon plus grand plaisir

Just needed to use the bathroom and they were very nice so they get five stars for that.

Pariser Frühstück sehr zu empfehlen. Die Auftrivhe können auch direkt vor Ort gekauft werden. Sehr freundliches Personal. So frische und selbstgemachte Heisse Schokolade habe ich noch nie getrunken 😍

The food was good but the service leaves much to be desired. First, nobody came to take our order, so we ended up ordering at the counter. Then they had to come back twice to tell us what we chose was already sold out, and then we ended up waiting more than 30 minutes for our food. Shame because the Cafe is cozy and the menu interesting.

CAREFUL!!! They will NOT refund the WRONGFULLY charged money by them. They will just say "We are not allowed to make a refund", only vouchers. Imagine, if they'd put a couple extra zeros on your 15 € meal, you would get back a 1475€ voucher only valid for their store, and never your money. Quality wise, the avocado and feta sandwich I had was tasty and the cappuccino was quite good. The terrace is confortable, now that the works on the street are almost over. I used to have breakfast here often, since I have it close by my place. But would never risk loosing money again. There are other places in the neighbourhood, cheaper and same quality.

Heerlijke flat white en muffin. Leuke locatie.

Vriendelijk en altijd weer verrassend wat je krijgt als je hier een #ToGoodToGo magic box komt halen.

With all do respect… € 9,10 for a “regular” white bread?! This is simply ridiculous.

Very lovely space and cozy vibe. Loved their pastries and coffee. Good location for brunch, coffee, chat with a friend, or simply reading a book.

De bediening was goed. Maar wat een apart eten was dat. Natuurlijk heb ik het opgegeten. Volgens mij was het gerecht wat ik besteld met hoemoes besmeerd. Erg lekker, maar niet mijn dagelijkse kost.

Haven’t been here in a long time but thought: let’s give it another try. Well won’t make that mistake again. Service was better but the prices have gone up and the quality is just not worth it. Attached was called a ‘pastrami sandwich’ you need a magnifying glass to find the pastrami 😒

Koffie met gebakjes gehad op het terras, aanrader!

De taartjes zijn toch wel serieus lekker. Prima koffie.

Hervorragende Croissants & Heißgetränke.

Sehr leckeres Frühstück, sehr leckere Getränke und absolut freundliche und zuvorkommende Angestellte. :-)
