Very popular spot in Amsterdam that just opened their fourth location! Similar to Bagels& Beans but with their own twist! Affordable but can get crowded since it's very popular.

You'll definitely need a reservation for this cafe since it's almost always full + there is almost always a line of people waiting outside! Their sandwiches are truly amazing and worth the hype!

Cute little gelato shop with amazing gelato and excellent selection of flavors! The pistachio and nocciolla were amazing! There is always a crowd but it's worth the wait!

To me - worth the hype even if they are a little bit pricey! They seemed very crispy and dry but they are actually super soft and the filling is delicious. I recommend the chocolate-hazelnut one!

Very cool concept of serving food! Vending machines meet fast food! The food is actually really good, fresh & delicious! There are rarely any crowds and it's really good if you want something quick to go!
