Café Kalkhoven

Fantastic service, the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The beers are fantastic. I was recommended Texels Jutters Bock, amazing. I was planning on eating but when I saw the meatballs come out, I had to order one. They are amazing, simple, meatballs, white roll, mustard and pickles but genius. Genuinely one of the nicest things I have ever eaten and less than €8. I love this place.

Came here for a cheeky vaasje the other day and really enjoyed sitting out of the terrace of Café Kalkhoven and observing the world go by. The seating is close to the main road on the Rozengracht but is a great spot for people watching. Heineken vaasjes (25cl) are only €3.30 which is a great price. Was served by a young guy who was very nice and funny - the older Dutch guy wasn’t too friendly and seemed annoyed I was leaving a tip which is a new one! But all in all very cozy and cute bar. Nice place.

Popped in as this was close to the Anne Frank. Service was great staff very helpful. Its a busy road but a great place to people watch. Had a beer and coke was 13 euros which is about right and Amsterdam has become very expensive. Didn’t order food but couple next to use said it was ok for the price.

A lovely little bar/ cafe on a prominent corner. We stopped in to a pick me up coffee and a beer. Friendly service and tasty coffee. Great selection of beers too. Looks like a decent menu but can’t comment on the food as we were not hungry. This is a great place to hang out and have refreshments if you are waiting for your slot at the Anne Frank House.

We had a fine experience here. Nothing to write home about. Limited menu. We stopped in to get out of the rain and wind more than anything. Didn’t want to walk the rest of the 20 minutes to our original lunch destination. We had cheese and ham toasty with the mustard on it which was good but nothing special. Then my wife had tomato soup with a normal cheese toasty. Both were good not great. Service was very slow but it was sorta busy. Wouldn’t personally recommend or go back unless you need to avoid weather and grab a drink.
