We were in Amsterdam the second weekend of May
We discovered this place by chance but it's really worth it!!
The burgers are delicious and are carefully prepared by the chef Mina Adele
The staff is friendly and fast
Very honest prices compared to the Amsterdam average
Waited almost 2 hours for a low quality kapsalon, even though the shop is less than 10 minutes away. Although this place is cheap don’t fall for the low prices. The quality and quantity is not great. Better go somewhere else if you are craving a kapsalon.
Poor service, more than an hour late, which meant breakfast was served and the letter that should have been included was missing, which indicated what it was for. Poor service.
The bartender really goes above and beyond, inside and outside expectations. He definitely steps up his game for those five stars!
Bit strange to have to carry his bike in upon arrival, and do his laundy. But what else can be expected in exchange for this service.
Sandwiches are delicious, but around lunchtime they're always out of bread—the line is never very long, but it seems to take forever here. You'd think you could anticipate that, being a sandwich shop. Staff also calmly clean the windows with people waiting in line during rush hour. Oh well.
Visiting this establishment was an experience that could only be endured with the utmost self-control. The service displayed a remarkable lack of direction, the decor looked like the result of a spontaneous decluttering session. The croissant resembled a gift from a private home, the orange juice a watered-down school drink. The coffee was an abomination, the eggs rubbery, the baked beans watery and resigned. You don't leave this place satisfied, but rather pensive. HandOfBlood would say, "You have to know." I say, "Just stay out of there."
Groot Gelderlandplein was recommended to me by an acquaintance as a good place to shop, my friend said! That was indeed the case, except at Bakkerij Jongejans. I was yelled at by an old fishwife from her counter by the pastries. I was standing in the wrong aisle by the bread and had one loaf in my hand. I wanted to ask her something and walked over with the bread, but she yelled that I wasn't allowed and that I was in the wrong aisle! I've never been there, so I might have made a mistake, but to be yelled at like that by an old fishwife with blonde hair and drawn eyebrows, I'd go to the market because at least they want to sell you something! Or is she the owner who's fed up with it, or an employee biding her time until retirement?! I think she's more likely a bitter woman who has wasted her life in a bakery because she can't do anything else! A shameless purchase for a shop on Gelderlandplein!
I tried chicken curry today, because I hadn't liked the nasi chicken satay before.
The first time, the food wasn't warm at all. After a short time, I got it back, and while it was warm, it had absolutely no flavor, and before I could finish it, it had cooled down again. The dry salad had no dressing at all.
No more hot meals here, that much is clear to me.
I got something here once a few years ago: fries and a Hamburger. I got a huge portion of fries, which I hadn't asked for. When I asked why I got such a large portion, the person said, "We always order everyone a large portion, and the Halburger was dry."
