Factory Grrrrrl! - Edit
We went at noon on a Sunday in August 2022. Lineup, to be expected. Less than 30 minutes later we were seated at a shared table on the beautiful street patio with a delicious Oat Milk Latte in hand. 15 minutes later our meals arrived. We shared the Vegan Shakshuka and the Vegan Tofu Scramble. Both meals came with toasted sour dough bread and a little fresh herb and sprout salad. The Shakshuka was very good! The Scramble on the other hand was very bland, no 'eggy' kala namak taste or the spices you'd expect in a tofu scramble. and was probably not worth the price. but you know, Amsterdam Rent!
Read moreOverall the service was surprisingly quick for a summer Sunday afternoon, but I think we got lucky.. The couple sitting next to us got seated before us and didn't get their food until after we finished. Not a place to go if you're in a hurry.

Factory girl - Edit
This was the best meal I had in Amsterdam. I had shakshuka with tofu and mushrooms, delicious and filling. Had a cinnamon roll but had to do take away because I was full. Quiet street, nice atmosphere and indoor/outdoor seating. Make reservations on the weekend. Super friendly service. For sure would recommend.

Great food, limited vegan options - Edit
The food here is delicious and the vibe is awesome. However, for a vegetarian restaurant the amount of dishes that can be made vegan are very limited. Moreover the price is quite high while the dishes are pretty simple. Probably because of location
Read morePros: Good food, Good vibe
Cons: Limited vegan options, Expensive

Phenomenally good - Edit
Vegan choices and alternatives very clearly labeled and across diverse menu items. The Turk's Mom was one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. I don't even know how to describe it, just SO incredibly good.

Sad that they're no longer vegetarian, but good for vegan brunch options - Edit
It is incredibly hard to find good vegan brunch options in Amsterdam. Factory Girl is definitely one of the very few spots to get a good meal when out early. While they started as a vegetarian restaurant, meat has been added to the menu, which I find a bit upsetting, but I guess we live in a capitalist world.
Read moreI have been here about 5 times ever since they opened, and have seen the menu change a few times (with vegan options becoming more scarce). The service can be quite slow, and it's usually pretty busy in the weekends. I'd recommend coming here early and be ready to wait, especially if you're here with a group. Fret not, the wait is worth it!
The portion sizes are large, and the items are quite filing. It is a bit on the pricier side, but I'd say it's comparable to other restaurants in the De Pijp neighborhood.
The buns are amazing, and both the Turk's Mom & Dad breafkasts are quite well balanced. I could always do with more protein (they have just a few tofu blocks in there when made vegan), but otherwise, great flavors and vibe!
Pros: great flavors, decent portions
Cons: now serves meat, long wait, pricey

Insane borek and cinnamon roll ✨ - Edit
I went here for lunch and got the vegan borek and the vegan cinnamon roll with cream. The portion of the cinnamon roll is so large, maybe better to share, but omg it was delicious (served warm!). The borek was also really good! I’m definitely coming back to have these things again.

We came here because Bakers & Roasters was full but honestly I’m so glad we did.

Must try - Edit
Vegan options were clearly labeled and staff was friendly and accommodating. We each ordered a main dish and then a sweet to share and were satisfyingly full both times.

Good Food + Quick Service - Edit
We had one vegetarian and two vegan dishes and all three were delicious, I particularly enjoyed the “Red Africa” dip/spread. Said dishes didn’t take long to assemble and consisted of a variety of different (warm and yummy) things in a sort of bowl. The venue is large and decently decorated, situated on a charming bicycle-filled street. (That is once the construction works have finished, of course.) There was also some apparently really nice coffee-for which the beans were on sale. I think there was a maybe 50/50 selection of vegan/vegetarian options, although the menu is inconsistent because about a third of the items were crossed out. Also, it may be worth mentioning that the menu concerned was entirely online, and their was faint music playing. Their “Coco Angela”, friendliness, and the supplying of customers with plenty of water is good too.

Beware when ordering! - Edit
We spoke with the staff on arrival as we're cautious about what we're eating, we showed the Amsterdam site for the restaurant and asked if they offered the tofu scramble, the staff member told me the have this and when I received it I was taken aback by the texture of the "tofu". I raised this with the staff member around half way through my meal as I was curious on how they achieved that texture, she then advised me what she had served me was egg. She then told me they do not serve tofu scramble at this location( a blatant lie as on both the Amsterdam menu and the Berlin menu, she attempted to gaslight us into believing we were wrong and we're looking at the incorrect menu) this is extremely frustrating as I have serious stomach issues with eggs being a major trigger, thanks to the ignorance of staff the remainder of my trip is going to be very difficult.

Delicious, completely different, lots of options, great service - Edit
Restaurant is not completely vegan (my partner had eggs) but the food was incredible - we had the Turk dad and Turk mum, we were completely stuffed - very nice coffee and the food was not your average dish, so many flavours, I wish I could have eaten it all. We were also given a complimentary taster of the their signature pudding, wow was so yummy. It was expensive but worth it for the dishes for sure.
Read morePros: Amazing menu lots of extra options, Service was brilliant, very friendly , Lots of room

Best brunch in Amsterdam - Edit
This has to be hands down one of the best brunch spots I've visited in Amsterdam.
Read moreWe had the Turkish dad which was vegan. Mince, beans, potatoes, carmalised onion, spinach, yoghurt, salad and sourdough.
Absolutely stunning flavours I'm defo going to try and make this at home in England.
It was pricey costing £45 pounds for 2 people.

Big recommendation - Edit
Within our 3 day stay in Amsterdam we went there twice! They had lots of vegan meals and I loved that they don’t charge oat meal as a „more expensive option“. The food was amazing, perfect brunch place. Would definitely recommend going there at least once. On the weekend I‘d also recommend getting a reservation.

Delicious but WATCH OUT FOR SERVICE CHARGE - Edit
Living in Berlin, I have been to Factory Girl several times. Their cinnamon buns are spectacular and we have never had a bad meal. This was my first time at the Amsterdam location, which I visited with several friends for brunch. We ordered a lot of food, and it was, of course, fantastic. Not cheap, but we felt worth the price. It wasn't until later that we realized the receipt included a line with what seems to be an "optional" 10% service charge (despite also having a line that a service charge was not included - which is clearly misleading at best). We were not informed of this and didn't realize it in the moment, so ended up adding a tip that brought the total tip to over 20% of the bill. This is the kind of sneaky tactic I would expect from a restaurant in the U.S., but it's completely out of line for a European restaurant. This has left a bitter taste in my mouth and I'm hesitant to return. If you need to raise your prices, raise them. But don't add a service charge and then not tell your customers. Had they just been up front about it, we would have left well enough alone.
Read moreI'm just disappointed because I love the food here, but this kind of underhanded approach to bilking your customer is gross. I suppose as long as you know this is going to happen, you can decide accordingly, but know what you're getting into. There are a lot of other options in the area that won't do this.
Pros: Delicious food, decent portions, Cinnamon buns are spectacular, Good service
Cons: Duplicitous service charge

Tastes very good, but pricey - Edit
€19 is a bit high for a dish, but the Vegan Turk's Dad was really good. My companion got shakshuka and. Preferred mine, but liked the coffee a lot: following a cappuccino with a latte. I'd definitely go again.

Great vegan brekkie! - Edit
Had Vegan Turks Dad and Shakshuka, both fabulous! Busy place, had to wait outside for a bit, app showed you your place on the waiting list.
Read moreAsked for second serving of bread, which arrived only when my plate was almost empty.
10% tip was already incorporated in the total price, but of course "totally voluntary" - so not done, this approach. Hence only 4/5.

Best vegan breakfast - Edit
We came across this restaurant by chance and were all absolutely thrilled. The menu consists exclusively of vegetarian and vegan dishes, for every vegetarian dish there's a vegan version. The breakfast - especially the hearty dishes - has an oriental influence and is worthwhile for all who want to have a different and special breakfast. Absolute recommendation!
