Benji’s has by far the best brunch Amsterdam has to offer. I have brought so many people here and they have all loved it. The food is healthy, fresh and delicious and the menu has everything you could ever ask for. P.S get the chai tea latte, it’ll blow your mind.

- Hours: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Brunch Amsterdam De Pijp & Zuid
Coffee & Coconuts
- Location: Ceintuurbaan 282-284, 1072 GK Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Hours: 8:00 AM – 11:00 PM
- Menu: Here
- Favorite Dish: Coconut Coffe & Chilaquiles
This is also one of my top favorite brunch spots in the city, the vibe inside and the menu is amazing. It’s built-in an old movie theatre so the interior is three stories high and really unique looking. I suggest you get here early as the line can get up to an hour-long wait if you arrive after 10:30 on the weekends.
Scandinavian Embassy
- Location: Sarphatipark 34, 1072 PB Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Hours: 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Bakers & Roasters
- Location: 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM
- Hours: Eerste Jacob van Campenstraat 54, 1072 BH Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Menu: Here
- Favorite Dish: Vege Brekkie
Bakers & Roasters is probably the most popular brunch place in Amsterdam, but for tourists. Despite this, I think the food is amazing. But, because it is so popular among tourists it is always packed and the wait is consistently one hour. If you don’t mind waiting you can give them your number and they will call you when your table is ready so you can walk around while you wait.
Cottoncake
- Location: Eerste van der Helststraat 76HS, 1072 NZ Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Hours: 10:00 AM – 6:30 PM
- Menu: Here
- Favorite Dish: Smashed Avocado Toast
Cottoncake is a very unique concept store full of clothing, perfume and also a little restaurant. If you want to hit an all in one location then I highly suggest heading here from some Amsterdam brunch. It also helps that the clothing and interior is super cute.
The Avocado Show
- Location: Daniël Stalpertstraat 61, 1072 XB Amsterdam, Netherlands

Calling all avocado lovers! If you are as obsessed with avocados as all millennials are made out to be, then this will be heaven on earth for you. Everything here is made with avocados and the options are so innovative. If you want some really cool photos or love trying ordinary food in new ways, head straight here.
Brunch Amsterdam Centrum
Omelegg
- Location: Ferdinand Bolstraat 143, 1072 LH Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Hours: 7:00 AM – 4:00 PM
- Menu: Not available online
- Favorite Dish: Plain Omelet
I love starting my day off with eggs, and the eggs in these omelets are egg-cellent .. (good one right?). A plain omelet here is just 5 euros and you can also upgrade and get specialty omelets with flavors from around the world. I’m not very adventurous when it comes to new flavor but if you are, go for it!
Betty Blue
- Location: Snoekjessteeg 1-3, 1011 HA Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Hours: 8:30 AM – 6:00 PM

Pancakes!
- Location: Prins Hendrikkade 48, 1012 AC Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Hours: 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM
- Menu: Here
- Favourite Dish: Apple Crumble Pancake
I am a sucker for any brunch place that serves pancakes, and this just happens to be Pancakes Amsterdam’s specialty. I have always loved this location for a quick, and tasty brunch and its great for when you’re with a picky group. Who doesn’t like pancakes?
Pluk
- Location: Berenstraat 19, 1016 GG Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Hours: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
- Menu: Here
- Favorite Dish: Famous Unicorn Bowl
Pluk will always hold a special place in my heart. I went here on Valentine’s day while on exchange with my new best friend from my exchange. It will always remind me of her and our first time eating there when we both fell in love with the location. The interior is lovely and sells super cute mugs, planners and more!
Lavinia
- Location: Kerkstraat 176, 1017 GT Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Hours: 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM
- Menu: Here
- Favorite Dish: Vegan Gravad Lax
Lavinia is full of clean, fresh options for brunch. It is not as known as most of the other Brunch options in Amsterdam which is great for getting a table right away. If you opt for a more healthy lifestyle then this is one of the best options for Amsterdam brunch.
Ree7
- Location: Reestraat 7, 1016 DM Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Hours: 9:00 AM – 5:30 PM
- Menu: Here
- Favorite Dish: Red Velvet Pancakes
Ree7 is very similar to Pluk with one different. Their freak-shakes! I know milkshakes aren’t usually a brunch option but sometimes you just have to live a little.
Mook Pancakes
- Location: Jodenbreestraat 144, 1011 NS Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Hours: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM
- Menu: Here
- Favorite Dish: The blue magic
Another pancake option, but you can never eat too many pancakes! I love the sweet options here and the inside is super cute. They also have vegan pancakes here which are awesome.

So glad to see G’s made the list – it’s a knockout for breakfast/brunch. It’s our go to when we visit Amsterdam.
Yes, it’s so amazing right! Great spot for brunch 🙂
Wow ! That’s a long list ! Bookmarking this for the next time I visit Amsterdam ! For now, I’m craving a nice warm sticky Stroopwaffel ! =p
I done quite a few of these as I have done many drinking weekends in the ‘Dam but I remember doing Ted’s. I may have done a few other places on this list but with a major hangover, I wasnt taken in the name of the places and was just shoveling food down my throat. God I love Amsterdam 🙂
I’m so sad I didn’t have this post before I went to Amsterdam (for the second time) in April. I would have LOVED to have tried Pluk for the unicorn bowl and Ree7 for red velvet pancakes! I also like The Pancake Bakery. I’ve gone on both trips to Amsterdam. I like the Happy Pig Pancake Shop too. Amsterdam just flat out has fantastic food!
Benji’s it is then!Brunch is my favourite these days, even more so than going out for dinner. Seriously, I would love to try all of these (just to confirm that your assessment is accurate of course!!) What a wonderful project – sampling all the brunch possibilities in a city like Amsterdam. I may have to do this in my home town, although I don’t think there will be so many tantalising options here.
Two years spent tasting all the restaurants just so you could come up with the perfect list for “The Best Brunch Amsterdam”? 😉 That is some serious foodie dedication and such a hard job! NOT. LOL. Honoring the clear research and effort, I have to believe then that Benji’s is the place to dine … but then there is Coffee and Coconuts. Hmmm … decisions decisions.
All these brunch cafes and restaurants look so amazing – aesthetics as well as food! I love how you have categorized them area wise so it is easy to pick the nearest one.
Each of the dishes looks divine and I am wishing I was in Amsterdam right now, deciding which one to taste first. Food is always a big attraction for me, specially while travelling and good food makes every beautiful day even more beautiful.
Oh my god, I love that this is all about brunch! I love your photos, your description and it totally makes me want to go there right now! So hard to choose which ones I would want to definitely check out, there are far too many great options! I am loving the vibe of Bamboa, and you had me at Vegan bowl. I am saving this one, and seriously thinking about going here next trip!
Big fan of Little Collins.As an Aussie We have brunched with these guys in NYC and it immediately felt like we had popped home for a few hours. So pleased to see they are in Amsterdam too now. I am not a pancake fan so their style bunch suits me best. Plenty of other great breakfast options for us to check out next. Thanks!
Dragon Bowl & Cotton Candy Shake? Hey now. That sounds fantastic! You’ve got me intrigued, for sure. 😉
G’s Really Nice Place has a cool name and I would definitely want to stop in for the photo worthy Bloody Marys.
