Lunchcafé Waterloo

Cozy space with a warm welcoming feel. Good food and lovely service. We ate here after our partnership ceremony with the family for lunch and it was perfect.

I had lunch here, felt like a locals spot. Food was so on point. The croquettes were so good that all I do is dream about them in my sleep

Great little cozy place. There's a real cozy warm atmosphere in this cafe. I had a really delicious goat cheese sandwich, rich and delightful. A real change from the local usual dry menu. There are a lot of options for vegetarians, and the service was lovely.

Lunchcafé Waterloo – A Heartwarming Gem in Amsterdam Some places serve great food. Others serve delightful drinks. But Lunchcafé Waterloo goes one step further—they serve pure joy. From the moment you step inside, you’re not just a customer. You’re greeted with natural contentment, as though your arrival made their day a little brighter. It’s a place where hospitality feels like second nature, not a scripted routine. The apple pie? Yes, it’s delicious. But when the staff licked their fingers with unapologetic delight and asked, "It's really good, isn't it?" - eyes twinkling with pride - you knew it was more than just a dessert. It was a moment of shared joy, the kind that makes you feel part of something sincere and special. And the iced cappuccino? The perfect companion. Not just expertly made, but served with the kind of enthusiasm that says: We’re so glad you’re here. What struck us most was their contagious happiness. They didn’t just toss out a few sentences in Portuguese - they welcomed us with genuine excitement, as if seeing old friends again. And that feeling spreads. You leave with a full heart, not just a full stomach. Lunchcafé Waterloo isn’t just a café. It’s a celebration of connection, kindness, and culinary comfort. A must-visit in Amsterdam - not just for what you’ll taste, but for what you’ll feel. “We tend to forget what people said, what they did for us, but we will never forget how they made us feel”

Excellent and hearty breakfast fare! Particularly loved the tasty onion jam on the Philly cheese steak. The chef was generous with the ingredients for all the sandwiches and we left with tummies filled and hearts full.
