Bagels & Beans

A bit crowded. 6.20 € and a Bagel later I wasn’t full. The staff didn’t know about the Unilocal free drink offer.

After walking around Amsterdam for a bit, I wanted to sit down with a hot drink, and was glad that my friends and I stumbled upon this place! It was right by the canals, had outdoor seating, and overlooked the water, which definitely attracted me to this place. I was looking through the menu and was very impressed by the bagels options… everything looked delicious! I only regretted walking in with a full stomach already, so I didn’t order a bagel. I will say, though, that the Choco melt drink did not disappoint. It was bascially hot chocolate, but came in an interesting set-​up: it was a glass of warm milk with a dish of whipped cream on top, and a side of chocolate chips. Basically I just had to mix everything together to get a beautiful and thick hot chocolate.
The indoor seating was quite charming and cute. Though a bit cramped in space, it was perfect for conversation. I definitly recommend this place for brunch, catching up with friends, or a casual date. Loved it, and wish I could have had more days in Amsterdam to visit again.

These bagels were nice and the range and options were good. The service and space was good too.
I’ve only been here for coffee before but we decided to get bagels on this second visit. I went for the award winning meat free chilli con carne bagel on an everything bagel and my husband went for the carpaccio. We were both pleased. I needed to ask for butter should have really asked for cream cheese as my bagel didn’t have anything except some lettuce under the salad so I think it’s a case of they assume you want it healthier if you don’t say.
Im sure I’ll go back as it was good and conveniently located for us too.

Stopped in here for an early breakfast. Nice bagels. I wasn’t a huge fan of the topping I chose (Asian smoked salmon with wasabi — I think I prefer the more traditional lox and cream cheese). Coffees were excellent. This place gets busy, so come early! It’s also very close to the museums (which is where we were headed).

Absolutely amazing bagels and bagel sandwiches. Lots of vegetarian options for burgers and sandwiches with many cream cheeses and bagels to choose from. Wonderful experience! We had the tomato burger on an everything bagel and the avocado sandwich with chive cream cheese on a sesame bagel and both were delicious! If you’re in Amsterdam this café is a must visit.

Best bagel in Amsterdam. This place is so cozy and nice. Very fresh ingredient. I tried famous Montréal bagels before but I think they taste just as good here (if not better). They are not huge like the North American ones and very good selection with healthy oats or sesame etc. You can taste how fresh the ingredients are. Great organic coffee and fresh squeezed juice. Overall a great and relaxing experience!!! They have a few location, I went to the one close to Museum district after visiting the Rijksmuseum!

Bagels are always yummy here and the soy green tea latte is delicious! Came here during closing time, but the staff was nice enough to take our orders and didn’t rush us when they were closing down. They also have free wifi (super handy if you’re traveling and have no data service)!

Fresh & tasty. Good tea, good coffee. Wish they had a location in the U.S.
If you like strong coffee, this is the place to for a quick grab.
Also goat cheese salad was delicious for a mid day treat before the long haul at one of the museums near by!

After having a miserable experience for breakfast at our hotel, we were looking for something quick and good nearby before our tour. There are surprisingly few options I. The touristy section of Museumplein. (Hint, hint entrepreneurs of Amsterdam — open earlier and open a breakfast place!) Being from NYC, I am picky about bagels. I ordered an everything with smoked salmon, creamed cheese and capers. It was pretty good. My partner had an oat bagel with an omelette which was OK.
Their downfall is their coffee. It is weak and needs improvement. Another huge pet peeve — the table that rocks back and forth. It was beyond uneven.
They have a variety of fresh juices which we didn’t try. Service was polite and efficient.
As an aside, I notice that people are generally more generous with their grades in Amsterdam so a 3 in the US is 4 there.

Delicious breakfast/​brunch! Being relatively new to Amsterdam, I wanted to find a good breakfast spot and I did! Whenever I have the time and spare change I hop in for a bagel and it never disappoints! And another bonus, service is always suburb!

I’ve never come across this company before but it was a great experience. I wish I’d logged in to their free wifi and read the reviews here before ordering. The hot chocolate looked awesome, hot milk with real chocolate to stir in!
The staff, as with a lot of places, make or break a place and they were excellent here. Really nice and friendly, especially to say they are serving tourists all day. To give an example the rain and wind came in and blew the items off the outside tables all over the place. The staff ran out and diligently picked all rubbish, menus, everything up. It would have been easy to think «Amsterdam is full of litter, why bother» but they didn’t. They were friendly and helpful throughout. I would definitely check out a Bagels & Beans again.

Eine frischen Bagel und einen feinen Cappuchino — was will man mehr zum Frühstück! Bei ‘Bagel & Beans’ gibt’s dazu eine freundliche Bedienung, angenehme Atmosphäre und frisch gepressten Orangensaft.
An der Rezeption unseres Hotel haben wir diesen Tipp fürs Frühstück erhalten und der war Gold wert.

I had a very nice and tasty breakfast. Bagel with avocado and red pesto, it was delicious and a big portion. The Matcha latte with soy milk is something I would recommend you to try. Also any of the natural juices, I tried the orange and the strawberry, both really good :) Great quality and service for a good price.

Pretty happy to have found this place after my 9:00 AM entrance to the Van Gogh Museum on a Sunday morning. Seriously. They have gluten free bagels and will ask whether you are allergic to avoid cross contamination. I had the omelet, should have skipped the ham and should have asked for cream cheese. The server was so great and checked on me periodically.

We went eating at this bagel place once and just came back 3 days in a row. the food is nice and simple, not some huge breakfast, more like the perfect size to keep you awake and will leave you fresh for a good walk or bike around. We had the Salmon bagel which was Great, the mozzarella with tomato was nice… the coffee was good. Recommended if you walk by the area and want to grab a bite to eat

I love this place! Very nice décor, good food, pleasant waiters. Only small complaint I have is about the prices — on the high side. But otherwise, breakfast there was a pleasure, and the prices were definitely better than the ridiculousness at the breakfast buffet at our hotel!
Highly recommended!

Staff was very friendly. The restaurant was packed as we arrived but they made sure we got a seat fast. We ordered different bagels. BLT, Tosti, goat cheese and chicken/​avocado. All where tasty. For drinks don’t expect the well known soft drinks but world concious drinks. We had tasty Bionade Lemon, fresh orange juice and a coffee (hence the Beans).
Food and drinks arrived quick at our tables. It’s a restaurant chain which gives you the feeling, through its interior and especially its staff it’s not part of a chain. Well done.

A vegetarian-​friendly restaurant 2 minutes walk from my hotel that serves fresh, ethical food at reasonable prices and accepts American Express credit cards? Had I been run over by a bike in Amsterdam and gone to vegan heaven?
I recommend trying the Warm Chocomelt (soy milk, of course) with dark chocolate. Immediately dump the cup of chocolate pieces into the cup, swirl it a few times with a spoon, and taste the delicious melty goodness! I skipped my morning coffee and just asked for an espresso shot right into the drink.
The mushroom burger I tried on a whole wheat spelt bagel was as delicious as a veggie burger could be. On another occasion, I had the vegetarian tuna salad sandwich (DELICIOUS, and you would never know it was from the «Vegetarian Butcher»)
If you would like to use the Unilocal check-​in special of a free coffee, the text in Dutch says you need to bring a ticket from one of the museums to qualify. I highly recommend the Van Gogh museum down the block, which is an impressive three-​story tribute to the artist and I believe the biggest VG collection in the world.

Found this place on Unilocal one morning I was there visiting in Amsterdam. I just wanted a very simple breakfast and some coffee and this place really delivered. When you walk in, either you sit down & order or go to the front counter and place your order for food/​drinks to go there. The staff were incredibly nice and the entire café was a very relaxed environment and I loved the decoration. I ended up ordering an everything bagel with regular cream cheese and also a Chai tea latte. I think I paid about 7 – 8 euros for everything (including a tip), so not bad at all. The bagel was toasted perfectly, cream cheese was good and the Chai latte was one of the best I have ever had. It had a good amount of foam and it wasn’t too sweet, it was really really good. They also have free WIFI, just ask. Whenever I am back, I’d love to come visit this place again and order another latte and maybe try something new from the menu.

Coming from New York I really didn’t expect to be «wow’d» by any bagels in Amsterdam. But Bagels & Beans definitely took ordinary bagels to the next level!
The simplicity and twist of the ingredients used on the menu make for not only a delectable menu but appealing to someone (like me) who detests the ordinary breakfast menu. The japanese wild salmon thinly sliced with wasabi sauce and cucumbers on an everything bagel was mouthwateringly delicious. The coffee was brewed perfectly, dark but not bitter. They had a surprisingly large selection of various teas on the menu. The service was efficient and friendly.
I absolutely adored this place! I really hope the franchise branches out and comes to the US!

Herrlich — ich liebe diese Bagels. Mein Favorit: oathie mit mushroom Parmesan trüffelmayonaise pinienkernen und Salat. 4,95 €
Dazu ein wheatgrass banana Drink — prima. Und das alles ist gar bio & fairtrade.

Great place for a coffee break near Museumplein. Bagels & Beans has tasty food for reasonable prices. Their bagels are freshly made and cream cheese is very tasty.

This is a nice break from the usual Dutch sandwiches. There are many varieties of bagel sandwiches, such as BLT or chicken avocado. Their cream cheese really stands out and my favorite is walnut honey.
They also have a large selection of teas and their food is sourced from sustainable sources.
Service: ³⁄₅
There is table service and if you are on the 2^nd level, there is a button you can press for service. Generally, they are good about taking your order at the beginning. However, it can be difficult to get their attention if you want to order more food.
Atmosphere: ⁴⁄₅
They offer free wifi and is a comfortable place to sit and lounge. It is near Museumplein and is a great spot for a reasonably priced coffee break after the museums.
Value: ⁵⁄₅
The bagels range from 3 to 10 euros depending on what you want on it. You can have a budget meal and leave feeling full.

Sehr leckerer Kaffee und gute, frisch gebackene Bagels.

Sehr empfehlenswerter Café&Bagel Laden in der Naehe Vondelpark. Bezahlbare Preise, nettes Ambiente. Zum Fruehstueck sehr empfehlenswert.
