De Broodzaak

I had arrived with my friend in Amsterdam via the Central Station and walking thru it we found De Broodzaak. They serve coffee and a variety of pastries as well as ready made sandwiches that the locals were picking up for lunch. There is no place within the restaurant to sit-​there are some bench areas a little further away where we saw people eating. It is a perfect place for a quick cup of coffee and a croissant-​we had just come from Schipol and needed a little boost. I would recommend and return.

Was heading back to Brussels and so ducked on here on the advice of a local to pick up some sandwiches to eat on the train back.
I got a lemon drink (verrrry tarty/​sweet for my taste, I added some water) and an Almond biscuit (Gevulde Koek) for € 1.50,. Food wise I got a bacon and hard-​boiled egg roll — there must have been at least x2 eggs in there! So really generous filing, and an excellent strip of bacon but only one, wished there was more and just right amount of butter. Loved each bite and it was a bargain at € 2!
Because it was a three hour train ride back to Brussels, yep I took the slow train, I also got a cheese sandwich for € 1.95. I was quite impressed by both freshness and quality — each sandwich had date and time it was made and I could see the people in the back making the food fresh.
So totally recommend and wouldn’t hesitate to buy from here again, when next need to grab something quickly.
