Vlaamsch Broodhuys Vijzelstraat Amsterdam in Grachtengordel-Zuid

The gouda mustard sandwich was delicious, and the café latte was so so good.

Excellent coffee, bread and pastries. The problem is a bit the service. Been twice now and apparently running such a tent with 3 people is quite a challenge for Gen-Z. Literally once sat with 3 tables in the 'restaurant' section, where I think we had to wait 10-15 minutes for a cappuccino. Because... Gen-Z'er comes to deliver something, doesn't look back, walks back to the kitchen... too bad, if you had looked up for 2 seconds you could have taken our order. The same thing again today... working a little further, making contact with customers and tackling things efficiently, I think, would help a lot.

Cute bakery with a good amount of seating. Coffee and orange juice were delicious and service was friendly and quick!

Muy delicioso café! Especialmente si quieres algo fuerte. El ambiente es tan acogedor y necesario, especialmente si está lloviendo fuera. Y también un gran cumplido a la tarta de frutos rojos!

Good service but very tasteless coffee. Grab a coffee somewhere else :)

Terrible. Ordered two croissants probably from days before. Only one arrives, taken with hands without gloves or tongs by the waitress, who meanwhile touches the PDA. Only one arrives, at the request of the second, even though they were placed in a basket to be picked up and carried, they make us wait another twenty minutes.

They could make us a format for Real Time entitled "I didn't know I was a bartender"... Sunday morning for breakfast we enter this place: we sit at the only table that didn't have dirty dishes (the tables have not yet been cleared since the evening previous one, with food leftovers here and there), where fortunately 4 menus are placed; there are 3 waiters talking to each other at the counter without doing anything, sipping coffee, but they come to take the order after 20 minutes. Finally we are served: cappuccino and tea brought in the cup without saucer, spoon and sugar. The freshly heated brioches are stuck to the paper napkin due to the melted sugar. Surreal experience.

Very friendly staff, excellent for those with lactose intolerance. As an alternative to milk, the place offers soy, coconut and almond milk. While waiting for breakfast they offered us a portion of cheesecake.

Very bad service. Won't come there again.

Unprofessional, unfriendly and rude staff, except for the male colleague. The two girls look arrogantly past you and don't let you know if they are coming to your table. When you ask, you get a grumpy and bored answer. Almost everything on the menu was not available and in response: “it is just very busy sir” half of the dining area was empty. When we didn't get anything after a long wait, we asked if they had forgotten us: the male colleague again showed understanding and apologies. After responding to this with understanding, I received an unintelligible snarl from the female colleague while I was walking back. When we finally got something, the coffee was as lukewarm as it could be, and the girl had given me a broken cup. People behind us and next to us had also forgotten them, there was zero communication. Never coming back here, the two girls are unsuitable for the catering industry.

Definitely DO NOT! Way too expensive, a complete rip off Long wait for breakfast, had to ask for everything myself, spoons, sugar... Latte was cold, avocado sandwich with feta had little taste It was freezing inside, having to have breakfast with a coat on

Staff are talking loudly on the phone in the store. Lukewarm coffee in a small cup. Piece of apple pie was really far too small for a high price. Amsterdam can do without these types of places like a toothache

It could have gone a little faster. Both ordering, serving and paying.

I’m drinking an Americano for the first time in my life, or at least what they claim to be an Americano. It’s light brown, coffee-scented hot water in a glass—if you really want to believe it’s an Americano.

Absolutely tasteless. I ordered mint tea, as a result I received a glass of hot water and several sprigs.

Solo quería café y pastelería para el desayuno. Un montón de charla detrás, generalmente brusco / indiferente servicio. Tardaron siglos en conseguir un pastelero medio y el café era débil. No te molestes, muchos otros lugares estarán encantados de servirte.

Same experience as others with cold staff that don’t seem to care much. Coffee was okay

The food is touched with bare hands after touching the computer, cards, etc. It is extremely chaotic and we waited for 5 mins just for someone to get our food from the other side of the counter and get it over to us.

We arrived at 9 in the morning, the kitchen was not opened, no toast, no eggs, no smiling faces, I would not recommend it, only the packaged cookies were nice

Nice place for a drink and something sweet. Many locals are coming in to buy bread so we figured it could be a good choice despite the google ratings. We enjoyed it and food was what we expected.

Popped in for a coffee and sandwich while exploring ... Poor service as was left standing for about 5 mins waiting to be served with three staff standing about. Waited 25 minutes for the sandwich while they forgot to make it . Wasn't busy either. Poor coffee too unfortunately.

Overpriced sandwiches, lukewarm and weak coffee. I think it was the result of success

The coffee is okay, nothing outstanding but the place is very convenient. It has a good location The desserts are delicious, there are many options, the tartlet with chocolate was my favorite. We also tried the tartlet with red berries and sugar, it had a good presentation with quality ingredients. The guys serving were friendly and very attentive.

Been here plenty of times and I always get the same treatment, no matter by which staff member. The staff look like they really hates their jobs… and their life. They barely look at you, they’re rude and dry. Not even a “thank you”. It doesn’t cost anything to be nice, no?

Interesting Bakery. Limited Vegetarian options. Sourdough bread was dense and consistent, although not extraordinary. On the whole, sandwich experience was not worth the price. Tarts and Scones were extraordinary though. Right balance of flavors, no after taste. Jam and cream were a treat ! Worth it

Chewy croissants on Sunday morning, clearly from the day before

Nice place with super tasty bread. Coffee is good too!

The pastries are good but the prices are quite high. The woman at the cash desk was unfriendly.

Very tasty iced latte and flat white

Bad experience Average coffe And bad service The lady making coffee is rude

Very friendly atmosphere, delicious breakfast! Muffin, bread and croassaints. Not to mention the jelly, peanut butter and butter that accompany the small breakfast.

I’ve visited this store two times and both experiences have been disappointing. First time, I came around 8.15 and I was told the store was closed (eventhough their opening times indicated it opened at 8). Second time I made a purchase of 10 croissants (around 20€) only to be given croissants from the day before, which were stale and chewy. If I wanted the same kind of quality I can find on “too good to go” I would not be paying full price. There’s plenty of interesting bakeries in the area so please avoid this one!

Nothing surprised me. Food was alright, but service was slow.

Best coffee I had in Amsterdam.

Extremely unpleasant and mocking staff. €34 for two miserable slices of bread with very little filling and two 25cl San Pélegrinos. Well asked for the details when paying because the waitress wanted me to pay 10€ more. Not recommended.

Locale carino ma norme igieniche totalmente distanti dai miei standard. Zollette di zucchero adagiate in una ciotolina al centro del tavolo, aperte (senza coperchio) e senza nemmeno un utensile per prenderle…quindi ciotola dove tutti mettono le mani. Croissant e marmellata serviti in maniera carina, in quanto la marmellata viene portata direttamente con il barattolo; barattolo che ho visto togliere dal frigo già aperto e messo sul vassoio: con un cucchiaino quindi devi prendere la marmellata e metterla nella brioche…e poi rimettere il cucchiaino nel barattolo se vuoi altra marmellata. Per niente igienico. Nonostante il locale carino mi trovo a dover sconsigliare assolutamente questo posto

🇹🇼I’m here, sit down and enjoy it The wonderful meals brought by this restaurant~ The atmosphere in the store is very comfortable! There are many meal options too! Reminder: Only credit cards can be swiped

Great soy cappuccino (and I'm Italian). We also had a sandwich and a juice and they were also really good. The sweet bakery looked really tasty but unfortunately I didn't see anything vegan so I didn't get anything. Everything's a little bit pricey but it's Amsterdam, everything is pricey anyway 🤷‍♀️

We loved having breakfast here every day of our trip in the city, the guy is very friendly, however his company lives in a constant bad day

Understuffed. Waited for 10 minutes, but the stuff was too busy to sell a piece of pastry

Vandaag was ik in Amsterdam bij een zeer populaire Vlaamse bakkerij: Vlaamsch Broodhuys voor koffie en broodjes. De service was beneden alle peil. Niet alleen kreeg ik een espresso zonder schoteltje, bijna koud en zonder crèmelaagje, maar ook nog eens met een lepel erin gestoken. Een schandaal! De gegrilde pastrami-broodjes bleken doordrenkt van vet te zijn met een dun plakje rosbief in plaats van pastrami. Zo taai als een schoenzool, niet te eten! Dit alles zou kunnen worden toegeschreven aan onervaren jong personeel, maar onbeleefdheid valt niet te rechtvaardigen. Gedurende mijn hele verblijf in de bakkerij, waar vier medewerkers waren, roddelden ze luidruchtig en beledigend over klanten. Ik wees hen hierop en zei dat het niet beleefd was en dat het me niet beviel om onder zulke omstandigheden te eten! De dame die de broodjes maakte reageerde met “dat is jouw mening. We leven in een vrij land dus je mag vinden wat je wilt”. Ze was onbeschoft en onaangenaam. Het gebrek aan fatsoen van deze jonge mensen is verbijsterend. Verschrikkelijke service. Een schande. Today I was in Amsterdam at a very popular Flemish bakery: Vlaamsch Broodhuys for coffee and sandwiches. The service was below par. Not only did I receive an espresso without a saucer, almost cold and without crema, but also with a spoon stuck in it. A scandal! The grilled pastrami sandwiches appeared to be drenched in grease with a thin slice of roast beef instead of pastrami. As tough as the sole of a shoe, inedible! All this could be attributed to inexperienced young staff, but rudeness cannot be justified. During my entire stay in the bakery, where there were four employees, they gossiped loudly and insultingly about customers. I pointed this out to them and said that it was not polite and that I did not like eating under such conditions! The lady who made the sandwiches responded with “that's your opinion. We live in a free country so you can find whatever you want.” She was rude and unpleasant. The lack of decency of these young people is astonishing. Terrible service. A disgrace.

The restaurant is in a good location. The sandwiches were tasty, but average for the price.

Everything was up to the mark. The only bad thing was the sky rocketing prices.

Employees were slow to react to me standing there for a few minutes, kept talking between themselves instead of helping customers. The pastrami sandwich was 13 euros (!!) so I expected a big one, it was small... it also wasn't filled that much either, felt quite ripped off. The taste was good but definitely not worth the price. Not gonna come back and would not recommend.

Terrible service…. thats it. The Store is nice, the ambiente and also the Food is very nice but I waited 20 minutes for a Sandwiches. There are Students working who don't pay attention to the customers, we waited at the cashier for 10 minutes while 3 Workers where on their phone in the kitchen. Sad..

Too expensive and not even good coffee

The lack of menu images upsets you, it was much below our expectations, it comes with toast as a hot sandwich and is overpriced, it won't make you happy but you won't go hungry.

I had to ask the spoon for the coffee (strange request, uh?) and he gave me it with his fingers on the spoon itself instead of on the handler. Imagine what they do when not in public. Never again here.

Went on last Saturday and the service was very bad. Bossy, disrespectful, ignoring, and many mistakes. As myself being a waiter in the same area, I see them as very unprofessional.

Bad Experience in all senses as possible.

Well, a sandwich 12 euros, toast with a thin layer of sickly tuna 12 euros, cinnamon roll bone dry and old 4.50. Serious? Quality and price really out of proportion. Service fine.

We had a good time! The staff was really comprehensible with my baby’s stroller ❤️ The sandwich was delicious! We’ve ordered sandwiches of buffalo cheese, avocado with feta and ham.

We had to look for something new 7 times and it still wasn't available

Absolutely avoid this deplorable place. A complete waste of time and money. If you're thinking of venturing there, prepare yourself for a disappointing experience, because there's nothing worse for miles around. The reception, run by a so-called "manager" (the title alone, without any skills involved), is the image of a smile as rare as eclipses. As for what we ordered and received: A crumble and a Dutch donut: Drier than your grandmother's biscuits, which even the ants refuse. A strawberry banana smoothie: It looked like a mixture concocted by an apprentice chemist who obviously didn't understand the recipe. A coffee: arrived later than the bill. Food and service: A complete revival would be welcome, as it is currently a total disaster

They forgot about us but everything was delicious 👍🏼

Nous avons rencontré le serveur "grumpy"... !!! (Mardi 26/12/23 vers 15h) Comment le reconnaître ? Il a la même tête que Grumpy cat mais en humain. Brun, tout échevelé, pas un sourire, pas un regard ou presque, pas un mot "s'il vous plaît" ou "pardon" quand il vous sert... aucune expression sur son visage Il vous sert quand même, mais vraiment vous avez envie de lui dire de faire un autre métier si ça l'em...rde autant. Les tartines étaient très bonnes, mais à 11 € Il ne restait presque plus de gâteaux, mais celui que nous avons partagé était bon. Le lieu est agréable en soi, mais alors vraiment le serveur....?????

The service was average, and while the venue is aesthetically pleasing, my friend and I found ourselves genuinely amused and shocked by the dessert's petite size, especially given the high cost.

Very good dishes! Easy, fast, good prices!

Liitle bit expensive compare to similar bakeries

- Je moet geen haast hebben - je moet geen honger hebben. - je moet het niet erg vinden om aan een vieze tafel te zitten. - je moet het niet erg vinden om met vies bestek te eten. Nooit meer

Wanneer je 10 euro betaald voor twee broden, dan mag je verwachten dat de service navenant is. Echter, in deze winkel voert sacherijn en botheid de boventoon. Op klantvriendelijk gedrag zijn ze hier niet getraind, helaas!

I recently tried the Parisian breakfast at Het Vlaamsch Broodhuis, which included a baguette, croissant, and a choice of coffee or tea. Alongside these, they served three spreads—jam, peanut butter, and chocolate spread—all presented in their original jars, which, to be honest, looked quite unappetizing. Each spread came with its own spoon, a thoughtful touch, but it raised hygiene concerns for me. The use of communal spoons invites the risk of double-dipping, leading to potential contamination between patrons. It's not the most appealing or responsible approach. As a suggestion, providing separate, clean containers for each spread that can be easily washed in the dishwasher would greatly improve the overall dining experience in terms of both freshness and hygiene.

Lettere taartjes, moest wel 3x vragen om chocolademelk voor m’n dochter. Ook toilet had geen zeep of doekjes om je handen mee af te vegen (toilet was onder de bril ook echt al lang vies, doet je afvragen hoe ze de rest schoonmaken/onderhouden).

Really fantastic bread, and the cinnamon roll was really tasty. we initially popped in to escape the rain but stayed for a drink and a pastry. Service was a little on the slow side but we're not sure if this was to give us time to look at the menu or not. They were also short on drinks so had to change out initial choice to something they had in stock. But all in all I would recommend this as a good place to stop and enjoy for a short while.

Vreselijke service. Studenten die geen aandacht hebben voor de klanten. Enorm lang moeten wachten. We kregen ons eten allemaal op een ander moment, konden dus niet samen eten. Wilden bijbestellen maar hebben opgegeven. Op andere locatie Elandgracht gelukkig andere ervaring

Terrible, terrible, terrible service. Unbelievably bad service. Told to sit down and that they’d take the order at the table multiple times whilst they took every other order. Still no service when there were no other customers to serve. Food finally arrived piecemeal and was so so. Not particularly warm either. Drinks were also forgotten about. If you can’t cater for people eating in, don’t try.

Vandaag was ik bij Vlaamsch Broodhuys om drie taartjes te kopen om mee te nemen. Bij het afrekenen bleken deze maar liefst 5,50 per stuk te kosten, in plaats van de 4,35 die op de kaartjes in de vitrine stond. Niet netjes en ook behoorlijk aan de prijs naar mijn mening! (Volgende keer gewoon weer Holtkamp daar zijn ze meer dan een euro goedkoper! )

They don’t accept card and the blonde haired boy has a nasty attitude. Nice coffee though

Bad service and bad food quality, overpriced. Such a pity because it is in a nice location and can be a cozy lovely place to sit at and even work. The croissant in the morning at 10:30 was already stale, probably not fresh and from yesterday. The foods in the pictures weren’t any better. There were 4 people working in the cafe and none of them bothered to clean the tables, or take orders; we had to go to the counter to remind them.

Siamo stai ieri mattina con la mia ragazza e per essere ad amsterdam qualità buona, prezzi un po troppo alti , staff molto cordiale , è stato bello trovare una ragazza italiana , ci ritornerò:)

Love the bread but the service is very bad. Ladies working are too busy chatting with each other to take orders… forget half the items and communicate poorly.

Nice place with good coffee, a bit expensive and not the fastest service in the world though

Food is nice but overpriced for fairly small sandwiches. We waited ~30mins for three sandwiches while the store was fairly quiet. I wouldn’t go back

Ik beveel deze tent niet aan. Gisteren heb ik hier ijskoffie gedronken met wat lekkers erbij. Het viel tegen. De ijskoffie was oké, niet bijzonder maar kon ermee door. We hadden een cinnabun en een amandelcroissant erbij besteld, die vielen echt tegen. De cinnabun smaakte vreemd, er zat een smaakje aan dat ik niet zo goed kan beschrijven. De amandelcroissant viel ronduit tegen. 4,65 voor een oude taaie fabriekscroissant met wat spul erin en enkele snippers amandel erop. Ik heb ze veel lekkerder gegeten voor betere prijzen.

overpriced, dry pain au chocolat. went to albert heijn and it was better…. lol

Repas pris sur place, la nourriture était très bonne mais le service long…

Attesa lunghissima per essere servita al tavolo esterno nonostante 3 impiegate e 1 solo cliente. Personale lento e poco professionale. Caffè servito senza piattino, né cucchiaino, né zucchero, li ho recuperati personalmente al bancone. Peccato perché il locale è molto carino e in un'ottima posizione. Buono il pain au chocolat. Prezzi alti.

Ottima colazione! Ampia scelta e ottimi prodotti

Leckeres Essen aber sehr schlechter Service, es wurde kein Besteck gebracht, keine Teller, Butter wurde vergessen, ein Heißgetränk, Kellnerinen waren allgemein sehr unmotiviert. Außerdem war es schmutzig und Tische waren nicht abgeputzt

Amazing pastries, bread baked fresh

The waitress was very kind and the pastries delicious!

Eiskaffee war lecker, jedoch 25 Minuten gewartet bei 3 Angestellten. Schön eingerichtet, aber Personal war eher mit essen oder halbherzigem Spülmaschine ein/ausräumen beschäftigt. Ich habe mich nicht beschwert, weil ich nen guten Tag hatte.

Would not recommend it. Services is as important as food. I came with a group of 6 colleagues from work to have a quick lunch. We sat and ordered sandwiches and smothies for each. The order took a bit but the products had a decent taste. However 1. Some of us ordered the same sandwiches and some received 2 slices and the other 1. 2. They did not let us pay individually. Instead one of us had to pay for the whole check because the person in charge simply did not feel like charging us separatelly.

Bread is really great, the rest of the food pretty average. And service is awful

I like the food we had. The staff are friendly and spoke English. Also accepted cash.

Lunch stop before visit to Van Gogh museum. Spotted it fro, the other side of the street & it looked inviting. They were in midst change of the counters but we were quickly dealt with & got a seat in a bright sunny room. Seems a popular stop with all ages & nationalities. Plant to choose from in terms of traditional sandwiches etc but we opted for a lovely bun with tea & coffee. They happily supported my request for real milk for my coffee as I'm not a fan of the coffee creme. Service was efficient & the food arrived daily quickly despite it being lunchtime & fairly busy. Would definitely visit again. Not an issue but be aware they were card only payments.
