I enjoyed my time here at the cafe. I genuinely wish there were more seating options outside as the weather is getting better. The chairs and tables inside were really small. Apart from this, I genuinely enjoyed my Macha and the doughnut. The beef sandwich was really delicious. 😋

We visited this café because we were looking for a place to have dessert, chat, and use the toilet. The location is a bit out of the city centre, but the place itself looks nice and clean. However, the experience was just so-so. There were very limited food options—only two types of doughnuts were available when we visited. You’ll also need to order your food yourself at the front kiosk, which might not be ideal if you’re hoping for table service. It’s more of a quick stop kind of place rather than somewhere to relax for a while. The chairs aren’t comfortable, the tables are quite small, and there’s only one toilet. The atmosphere wasn’t very welcoming either—the male staff member wasn’t particularly friendly, which affected the overall vibe. Considering the limited menu, lack of comfort, and the overall experience, I’d probably think twice before revisiting. It doesn’t really feel worth the price, especially with so many other cafés around that might offer more interesting options.

I visited this cafe for lunch and was surprised to see how quiet it was inside at 1pm. The music is a good vibe and upbeat. The staff was helpful and answered all my questions with no issues. Ordering food or beverages is done via a computer screen which also takes payment. I ordered the beef sandwich, a pistachio donut and an Americano. The donut and coffee arrived promptly with the staff informing me the sandwich will be a few minutes behind. The sandwich was worth the wait. It was warm and full of flavour. The donut was fresh and tasty and went well after the sandwich. The coffee was of good quality and body. I would definitely recommend this hide away spot and I would revisit for sure.

Very nice, chill place with friendly staff. Seating area is quite spacious and clean. We tried the mochi donuts in 4 flavours: classic, matcha, lotus an passion fruit (seasonal). They were tasty but a bit sweet for our taste, although we did finish them all effortlessly. Per donut we payed either €4 or €4,50. The toilets are also well maintained and smell nice. Overall a great experience, would definitely recommend! Update: After a year since my original review I have decided to add an update. This place has become my favourite spot to get donuts. As I do not live in Amsterdam, getting their mochi donuts is the first thing I do when I’m here. I can say with confidence that they are consistent with their food, service and maintenance. Today I tried their brioche roll with beef and matcha strawberry mochi donut. The roll included mayo, pickled red onions, egg and nori. Donut The donut was delicious and even better than the previous times I’ve had it. I’m not sure if they updated the recipe but it was lighter and fluffier. Brioche roll One word: delicious. I have tried this type of sandwich at other places, but would always be bothered by the imbalance of the ingredients. Usually they are overly stuffed with beef, with just the smallest bit of egg on top. This place seems to have perfected the sandwich. The beef, egg, mayo and other ingredients work perfectly together to create a well balanced roll. I also like that they include a glove, since it gets a bit messy. Definitely filling and bigger than it looks. Ambiance The ambiance is still very nice. I did notice that it was busier than I was used to, but it was not packed to the point of claustrophobia inducing. Service The personnel is still amazing. They now also bring orders to your table, which is very convenient. It also causes the high volume of costumers to be handled in an orderly fashion, since no one is waiting around for their order. Something I experienced today has exceeded my expectations. I had noticed that the wait for my brioche roll was unusually long, but didn’t really mind. One of the workers came to all customers who had ordered one and explained that an error had occurred in the system after which she apologised. We all got a complimentary item off the menu of our choice, no matter the price. I picked a lotus biscoff donut. This situation showed me that they are really dedicated to furthering their business and keeping the customer satisfied. This approach to unpleasant situations is what sets a business apart and urges costumers to come back. Toilets The toilet area is still as clean as the first time I visited. Love the consistency! Conclusion This is undoubtedly my favourite cafe to visit and my go to donut place. After careful reconsideration I have decided to update my review from 4, to 5 stars. Keep up the good work!

Adorable cafe with minimalistic vibes. Small cosy seating areas. Went for tea so just tried drinks and the donuts. Really enjoyed the matcha strawberry drink and Ube latte. The Mochi donuts were so soft and fluffy! Loved them! Would definitely go again. The food looked great too!
