Breakfast for two

Small café with friendly staff. We got the breakfast for two and it was good; especially the scrambled tofu sandwich - yum!

average food

We ordered the bibimbap and the tempeh sandwich and both were average at best unfortunately. The sizes are good and the plates look beautiful, everything is very fresh.
It did not have a lot of taste however, which was quite unfortunate. The rice was basic and a little overcooked, the tempeh did not have seasoning and the chickpeas plus hummus were just really not good.
Maybe my expectations were too high? Will not return in any case and would recommend you to try other places in the neighborhood.

Pros: Good meal size, Fresh vegetables

Cons: Not tasty, expensive for an average meal

A very healthy vegan place

The food was very healthy, but bland. The green smoothie was very lumpy and felt like a chore to finish. The pancakes were tasteless, not fluffy and had the constistency of brick. When I told them I didn't like them, they offered me another dish instead. The service was very good! The soup and salad were quite nice, but still, very healthy...

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G

Really wholesome and tasty food. The egg salad sandwich was to die for. Very fair prices and good portions. They make omnivore dishes taste better by turning them vegan- without being junky either. Will come back.

Pros: TASTE

Cons: That my stomach couldn't stand to try everything

amazing vegan breakfast, very friendly staff

This amazing café is now called Bataat. I’ve never had such a good vegan breakfast experience. Everything is vegan and so yummy! I ordered buckwheat pancakes with berrys, a croissant with marmelade (this one was a bit dry though) and a hot chocolate. 😋 My boyfriend had the egg salad sandwich with sprouts, the sausage roll and a coffee. We were very pleased with the welcoming staff, they were so friendly and even brought us a bigger table as we ordered so much food. Overall a very good experience! Definitely recommended! 🤩

Perfect for breakfast or bunch with very fair prices

They recently changed their name. But they have sandwiches, pancakes, croissants and even vegan saussage rolls. Perfect for breakfast or brunching. On top of that they have very fair prices for a restaurant like that in Amsterdam.

Pros: Cheap prices, Very delicious breakfast , Very friendly service

Fijne plek voor lunch

(NL) Zo blij met dit vegan restaurant met veel keuze. Perfect voor een lunch. 😋 Wij bestelde via thuisbezorgd een saucijzenbroodje, broodje 'eier'salade en een sloppy joe. De eiersalade smaakte niet persé naar ei vond ik, maar was wel erg lekker. Ook het saucijzenbroodje en de sloppy joe smaakte goed ! 🌱 De plek heet overigens niet meer Beter & leuk maar Bataat.🥔

(EN) So happy with this vegan restaurant wich has a big menu. It's a perfect place for lunch.😋 We ordered a sausage roll, "egg" salad sandwich and a sloppy joe via Thuisbezorgd.nl . I thought the egg salad didn't necessarily tasted like egg, but it was very tasty. The sausage roll and sloppy joe tasted also good! 🌱 And for your information the place is no longer called "Beter & leuk" but "Bataat".

Soup and Salad

Ordered the combination of soup and salad (on Deliveroo... because Corona). The soup was nice: a bit spicy and full of flavour. But the salad was outstanding. Really delicious. Loved it!

Pros: Really tasty and healthy food, Good portions, Not too expensive

Cons: The soup spilled a bit on the way :(

Very tasty, many gluten-free options

The menu is offering almost any meal in a gluten-free version, so there are many opportunities. The food was very delicious. I can recommend the buckwheat pancakes - the most fluffiest pancakes I ever had!

Pros: Many gluten-free options, Fluffy pancakes, Selfmade local food

For me - so so

Place looks comfy but the food was average, i have been there 3 times, always so so. I would go again but wouldn’t expect much.

Puur genot

Wij deelden het vegan ontbijt voor 2: ZALIG! Echt alles op het bord was lekker, de koffie was ook lekker, de setting is cosy... Na het ontbijt kun je hier nog uren keuvelen met je vrienden, schuilen tegen de regen. Dit is zo'n typisch plekje waar je met moeite weer wegraakt :)

Nice little cafe

I have been here many times and it is a favorite place among friends and colleagues. The menu is small but what they offer is fresh and tasty with some of the nicest pancakes I have had so far in Amsterdam. Just be sure to get there early as some things tend to get stale later in the day. Nice in summer when you can sit out the front and they have a great selection of drinks including my favourite Kombucha. One of only things that annoys me is sometimes the staff can be a little bit grumpy :/

Pros: Nice food, Nice drinks, Seating outside

Cons: Staff?, Need bigger fridge to keep things fresh

Eh..

How do you burn a croissant? You come to Beter & leuk they will teach you how. Burnt croissants and lumpy (yes lumpy) coffee. The service was slow it took 30 mins to get service. We had two croissants and one eggless salad sandwich. First the coffee was horrible, lumpy and grainy not smooth at all. I don’t know what they did but they need to undo it. The eggless salad was under seasoned and the lentil salad that came with it was and after thought that really didn’t need to be there as it was as flavorless as the eggless salad. But I take issue with the burnt, hard croissant.. why burn something that we all know should never be burned, should never be hard? This is a delicate French pastry that should be light and easy to pull apart, not a hard shell that when you tapped on it with a knife it didn’t move. It was a waste of money and time. Don’t entertain coming here as it will surely disappoint.

Really enjoyed their take on the classic Dutch toast & sprinkle breakfast. Their atmosphere is very sweet and loved the music choice. Would love to come back to try more of their menu items.

Delicious flavor combinations

We shared the Bibimbap and the Spinach Pancake and they both were great. The tempeh was perfectly marinated and it’s always a special treat to get a vegan pancake. The chocolate brownie was yummy and the scone was also delicious. In addition, we loved the quaint eclectic decor.

Breakfast in Amsterdam

Lovely little cafe with plenty of vegan breakfast items. We had the vegan breakfast for two which consisted of 2x croissants, 2x pancakes with fruit and syrup, 2x smoothie bowls and 2x savory tofu egg salad on toast. Accompanied by a French press coffee.

All was tasty and very well presented.

Feels like home

Friendly staff and warm vegan croissants baked on the spot when you order. The buckwheat banana pancakes are divine. Great for breakfast of a coffee break with delicious banana bread. Not all the menu is vegan thought, make sure you check.

Pros: Loads of vegan options, Oatly served

Cons: eggs on the menu

Pretty good

The croissant was excellent, and a good vegan croissant is hard to come by. The pancakes were pretty good. They were a little dense, but I attribute that to them being buckwheat. Nice staff. Sweet little spot.
