Rein

I’m so excited to tell the Unilocal world that I had a really, really good experience here on Tuesday! I wandered in and wanted a veggie juice without any fruit it in. Unfortunately everything on the menu had fruit but I asked if they could make the green rehab without the apple and with extra ginger and/​or lemon instead. The server happily agreed and said he would bring it to me outside. But five minutes later he came out empty handed and said it just wasn’t working — he didn’t like the taste, had tried adding carrots and other things to sweeten it up but it wasn’t working. But he offered to make me another drink, the good morning, with avocado instead of banana. It was more of a smoothie than a juice, but I agreed, and good thing, because it was excellent. What I appreciated most was his effort to make me happy and his desire to give me something that was really good and not just okay. And he smiled throughout, which can also be a bit rare in this city. So thanks for a great time! See you again soon, Rein!

It was Saturday morning and we decided that to brave the ‘centrum,’ so some sustenance was required. I sneakily led my unassuming, health food-​adverse boyfriend to Rein and tricked him into eating here before he ever knew it!
They have these open face sandwiches — lucky for me, I avoided getting in trouble for tricking the bf into coming here, as they had a meat option which was thoroughly enjoyed by the BF. I had the goat cheese version and while it took longer than I’d expect for a quick sandwich, it was pretty delicious. I really loved the gluten-​free bread they used which the house called «Oathies.» It’s really heavy and dense so makes for a very filling meal.
I do resent that everywhere in Amsterdam seems to charge 2.50 for a non-​alcoholic drink of any kind… That said, it was only when we were leaving that I saw the carafe of free, mint-​infused water. I can’t wait to try their coffee!
Make it Rein.

I’m not one to judge and you’d never catch me writing reviews of places online but this joint does a darn good smoothie.
It’s superfood heaven in this joint, seems a wee bit on the pricey side for the dry goods but good coffee and good smoothies.
Must try a salad next time as they looked excellent, but I’m saving room for my burger and chips for tea.

I am giving them a second chance. I’ve only been here once and I ordered a smoothie with ginger in it. They were very nice and didn’t rush me but were attentive. Big pluses. I also liked that they premeasure the portions, guaranteeing portion control. What I didn’t like was the end result. My smoothie was very grainy and left a strange chalky aftertaste. I think it could be the quality of the blender, which would be highly unfortunate. I will let them know next time I try them. I have high hopes for them.

Superfoods, smoothies, salads, coffee, organic wine and healthy sweets… They have it all!
Rein is a new spot that opened in the Rijnstraat and they are very welcome in the neighborhood. This place could use a healthy spot like Rein.
Rein opened on a corner and has big windows and a light interior, There are some spots inside along the windows where you can sit down and relax.
I tried the smoothie with raw cocoa and it was very good. Delicious and fresh and a good combination of flavors. The raw cocoa balls are also very nice. A great healthy snack.
I tried two of their salads, the one with lentils and the one with chicken. I liked the combination of ingredients but I think they need more dressing or perhaps a stronger dressing because the salads overall tasted a bit to bland. I hope this will improve and I’ll try again in a while.
For now I’m really happy with their smoothies, coffee and snacks and the long opening hours (until 8).

I had my first green smoothie here with collagen and it was great. I am sure that I will be coming back here more often. Love the concept, location and customer service. Their menu is pretty simple, it’s all about the salads, smoothies and coffee here. It does not get any better then that! Finally a great place where I can have more then one or two things on the menu. I am always looking for a healthy lunch spot in the neighborhood. Their salads or smoothie is really nice!
