I’ve had nothing but friendly service since I’ve started working in the area. The Golden, Rose Milk, and Sun Potion matcha lattes are great. It’s a great breakfast and lunch spot with lots of seating.
The Wagyu beef udon is so good! Also a good option: Duck udon. It gets pretty busy during dinner time, so come early to avoid the wait.
The pho and the Grilled Juicy boneless chicken thigh are phenomenal! So much flavor in all of their dishes
The restaurant of the famous food truck. Lunch specials for 7.95 with rice and a soup, and dinner specials for ~9.95 with rice! Authentic, cheap Chinese food with good prices for the UWS!
Service is not great, but they offer generous portion sizes and good seafood, especially the Lobster and clams. Try the Steak Pizziola! Cash only. One drink (non-alcoholic too) minimum.
A new coffee place that opened up this past Wednesday. They roast and grind their own beans, and make a solid Duromina Espresso, complete with sparkling water to cleanse your palate.
Beautiful place to people watch, enjoy the scenery or sunset, talk with friends, or to take a walk. You can also rent boats to explore the river. Calm and relaxing, and there are restaurants nearby.
A street in city center where all the nightlife happens. Lots of bars, clubs, restaurants, and outdoor terraces all concentrated in one area.
Clean, large movie theater. Check out the golden floors in the bathrooms! Student discounts available, as well as movies in IMAX and 3-D. 3-D glasses cost €1 unless you bring your own.
A cute store filled with a wide selection of children's toys. There's a hippo in a car with its own parking meter up front!
An odd store if you're feeling adventurous. They have a lot of antiques like creepy dolls, army helmets, mini cars, and more. They have a vintage style photo booth!
Perfect for those hot summer days. I always get the Pompelmo della Rosa (Grapefruit), but the citroen (lemon) flavor is also good. Always a line, but it moves fast!
Love this store for its wacky selection of vintage clothes. It's pretty retro and would be great to find items for a costume party. They also feature vinyl records for sale!
A wide selection of good records, from classics to pop to metal. They also have cd and vinyl listening stations, and they sell some handmade David Bowie inspired cups and pottery.
Peaceful and very zen. It's a nice break from the busier city center, and its structures have Chinese characters written in traditional Chinese brush strokes! A hidden gem by the lake
Beautiful interior, with inexpensive, lekker Italian food options (pasta from €5,75, paninis, pizza) and nice staff. There is also an outside terrace to enjoy summer weather. Try the carbonara!
One of the best theme parks I've been to! It's the Dutch version of Disneyland. You must go to the Fairytale Forest and check out the Gnome Village. They have some roller coasters that are good too!
A great beer selection, with good live music if you like rock or metal. Lots of famous bands here! The bartenders are friendly, and on Thursdays, they offer a whiskey tasting with Belgian bonbons.
Huge portions, delicious & fresh meat, fast service, and cheap. What more could you want? My recommendation is the döner tassche with lamb (€3,50).
Good service and a great selection of beers (Rochefort 8, 10), Kriek beers, and a solid €1,50 Pils beer. Their outdoor terrace is perfect for warm summer nights with friends.
Beautiful interior, friendly service, and good coffee. I'd recommend the banana and coco latte for an interesting twist
Great service, perfect location, clean, and pretty solid continental breakfast. You also get free wifi and a free 24 hour transit pass, which is a great bonus!
Get the yoghurt vijg honing! They also have a Miffy (nijntje) flavor that is interesting. Nice decor, gezellig atmosphere, next to the University Museum.
I work here as a workandstayer. Strong wifi, good breakfast, clean rooms, and the owners, Koen and Marion are hospitable. There is a bar downstairs that doubles as a cafe in the morning and afternoon.
This restaurant does a good fusion between Thai food and crepes / breakfast foods. Huge portion sizes. The green Thai crepe is fantastic.
Injeolmi or Espresso shaved snow, cheese toast, or honey toast! It's a pretty popular place, so be prepared to wait.
You can't go wrong with any of the Original flavors. My personal favorite is #2: Curry and pepper beef with rice
Great lunch specials! Love the mixed meat and seafood Tofu or the kimchi Tofu bowl with spicy pork bulgogi.
