My husband and I were in Amsterdam for 3 nights in mid-May and we found Greenwoods on TripAdvisor and decided to try it - what a wonderful find! We ate their twice on our stay and both times it was excellent. They serve a full English breakfast, as well as other breakfast options and sweets. You can order decaf coffee... More

Nice little local cafe. Although the place was crowded and we had to wait ages for the order we enjoyed the charming service and the great and generous breakfast - pouched eggs with spinach and hollandise sauce. The sauce was fresh and the eggs accurately prepared.

My Wife and I went here on the strength of the previous reviews here and it's high rating but unfortunately it was a huge let down. Yes it's a nice little cafe and in a nice location but then it isn't the only business in Amsterdam to have a canalside position. This place was busy when we arrived so we... More

Dear Sir I was very sorry to read your review. We were right in the middle of trying to open our second venue at that time. As a result i was out of this venue for some time and we were trying to train up a number of new staff. it seems that during this process our standards slipped from... More

I had a full English on the 1st day and my wife had the eggs benedict, the both were absolutely gorgeous. I had the eggs Benedict the next day and that was also gorgeous. I'd really recommend this place. 10 out of 10

Small busy cafe, food ok wasn't blown away missed food off my breakfast and only toasted half of our bread for some reason. Tea very week sounds like im being picky but given the high rating on here I wasn't really feeling it lived up.

Had a really good brunch at Greenwoods. The service was pleasant and the coffee was great! We had soy cappucino - no extra charges for soy milk! My friend had the full breakfast and I had the egg royale - both serving was very generous and the food was pretty good. Can't comment on the tea as we didn't order... More

Returning customer here.. lunch/brunch is very good and not overpriced. I like the soda bread especially. The atmosphere is nice as well, good service, even when it is really busy.

I read about Greenwoods on trip advisor and I will say that most of what I read was consistent. It is a small little place with seating outside, so make sure you arrive Arab time when you can get a seat. I came at 10 am on a Saturday and here was no line. However, I got the last table... More
