    What's good here? Everything. Love the vibe. Great Bloody Mary's. Chicken and waffles with house made hot sauce (which we brought back to the states) and the pork belly Benedict. Amazing brunch!

    Best chicken & waffles! Cozy spot, great for a weekend brunch (but really, everyday works for me here). Everything on the menu is tasty.

    This place was such an amazing place - we had to go back to have brunch here several times. It's placed right next to the canal, has delicious food and drinks + the staff is really friendly. 😋👌

    having brunch here is a party! the staff is super welcoming and energetic. The food is great, try the Monkey Business! Unfortunately they don’t have the okonomiyaki anymore. But overall: amazing

    All around and Rasco are my top picks for brunch here (boozy or not, your choice!) who doesn’t love chicken and waffles with homemade banana ketchup?!? Staff was just as nice as the food

    I've been going back and tried different tgings on the menu. So far I haven't got disappointed for anything yet. They also have good coffee and decent brunch cocktail selections!

    Brunch café with a relaxed, cozy vibe. Good service and very tasty food. They also collaborate with food popup groups that provide missed food items in Amsterdam.

    Great Breakfast and brunch! Had the “All about veggie” and the veggie bowl. Missed the avocado in the bowl though. The hash brownies are delicious, but can’t compare ‘cause I had it for the first time

    The Rasco chicken and waffle was delicious, a perfect brunch meal. The staff was incredible and not only allowed us to bring our dog but pampered him. We all had such a great time, we’ll be back ASAP.

    Tucked away on a quiet corner, enjoy fried chicken with waffles or poached eggs with avocado. It’s popular so book ahead.

    Perfect brunch spot! Great coffee and food; try the 'wentelteefjes'! Even without the bacon (and with bananas) they are delicious!!

    This is *NOT* Starring at Jacob but KU Kitchen & Bar West. The Yakuza Chicken Karaage is excellent. And the Torikawa is amazing.

    Top brunch place! Had the sophisticado and a flat white, both worth paying for! A reservation is a must as the place is super popular and busy

    Expect a queue around 1pm on Sunday, it's packed. Great food, good portions. But I was surprised to pay 7,50 for a tiny mimosa. Tip for the owners: do something about the ventilation in the kitchen!

    The wild mushroom salad is incredibly delicious! But the place is crowded, the staff stressed me out and it's been chilly bc they insisted to keep the window open. Better reserve a table in the corner

    If you want peace and quiet, this is the place to go because none of the servers will ever talk to you. Feel content as you sit around waiting to order for 30 minutes.

    Cute place, nice people, good menu but food was a bit too hyped. Dry waffles and fresh but tasteless ceasar salad. I do recommend the fried chicken. That was absolutely heaven✌🏼
