Me & my girlfriend went here on recommendation and we could not fault it at any step if your a travelling brit or an expat looking for home comforts this is your place. From the moment we arrived to when we left (after our second time there) we enjoyed it thoroughly. We went for breakfast and arrived around 11am and... More

We stopped here for an afternoon coffee. It was very busy inside so we sat outside, it was a little chilly so there was blankets there to keep us warm! We had a lovely scone and the best lemon meringue pie I've ever had, the meringue was so light and fluffy, if there was a gust of wind it would... More

Highly recommended! The recommendation was given by Steve at Renaissance Marriott up the street, and he came through. We ate here for breakfast both mornings we were in town. Very good, fresh, tasty food and good portions and price. Had the club sandwich both times and loved it. Friend had eggs salmon and daily special and really enjoyed both. Great... More

Enjoyed the salad with buffallo cheese and mushroom soup the first time we were there for our stopover so much that we returned on our way back home. This time we had breakfast there and the chorizo and cheese omellette with grilled mushroom was so tasty.

Don't go here if you are in a hurry. The food was very good but the cafe was quite busy and, as such, service was rather slow.

OK -- there are two Greenwoods (this one on the Singel and another on Keizersgracht). We had breakfast on Singel, arriving just before the doors opened and the room filled up fast. Food and beverage made to order so if you're looking for short-order speed, don't come here and then complain things are "slow." And this is a canal house... More

We went to Greenwoond filled with promises of beautiful food. We left disappointed.. To start the service wasn't best thing ever and I can't even blame a full house because everyone was served when we arrived and both waiters were pretty much looking at each other. Now the food.. I ordered the Lamb Burger and that's exactly what I got.... More

Good breakfast, we both had eggs benedict. You will have to wait outside for a bit for a table, and tables are very close together. Service is on the slow side, so don't go if you are in a rush. It was OK but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here again.

We called in here for a late lunch on the basis of earlier good reviews. Despite the fact that only three tables were occupied, including ours, the service was slow, to say the least. Initially the staff were too busy talking to each other to bring a menu then the same happened when we wanted to order. The tea selection... More

We had breakfast there twice, since it was close to our B&B. Hard to find a table but we were lucky both mornings. Great menu with Eggs Benedict, Eggs & Lax etc.
