"This meticulously manicured oasis in a quiet neighborhood also happens to be one of the oldest botanical gardens in the world. Here you’ll find countless flower species, a butterfly habitat (kids love this part), tropical hothouses, and gigantic, night-flowering water lilies. The grounds are not too vast, so you can see them in their entirety in a few hours. As is the case with most of Amsterdam’s best activities, there’s a lovely café on site. "

Be mindful that this place is located in botanical gardens so you need to buy ticket to enter (13€). All the dishes we got at the cafe were flavorful and delicious; fresh and healthy ingredients. Overall dining experience was very peaceful and made me happy :)

Lovely little cafe in the botanical garden. It was fully busy on a Sunday morning so better to be early or reserve if possible. The food was absolutely delicious with great service and atmosphere!!!

Waited 10 minutes to have our presence acknowledged, then once we ordered it took another 25 minutes for our open cheese sandwiches to come out - we were the only patrons the whole time, so no excuse of being busy. No explanation offered. While the coffees were nice enough, they were tiny. The wait staff were far more invested in their conversation than serving. The sandwiches were extremely underwhelming.

Situated within the botanical gardens, the cafe impresses with a well-curated selection of dishes that are as fresh as the surroundings. The overall dining experience is elevated by the peaceful ambiance, making it a standout bistro that's worth a visit for its flavorful and diverse offerings.

Enjoyed the daily sweet potato and fennel soup as well as the Gulpener beer on tap. Sat in the evening sun after a relaxing walk in the Botanical garden. The longer opening hours on a Sunday was a welcome bonus.

Great service and good food. The place has a nice and calm atmosphere and you get away from the city within the city. The café’s location and building is astonishing. The café have a great selection of cakes that tastes good and is a must try if you are there.

Beautiful place to enjoy your brunch or glass of wine. Went in for lunch with a friend on a rainy day. Greenhouse-like space is a perfect place to pop by after a stroll in the botanical garden. Food was well prepared, but pricey but Amsterdam price so not so out of the ordinary. Only thing is the sounds echo a lot in the building of course so beware if you're looking for a quiet spot.

Relatively simple menu but good quality food for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Nice desserts and great hot drinks. Atmosphere and decorations are so well-thought within the context. Great taste of decorations and food overall! Definitely worth doing a pause here when you visit the garden!
