I think this restaurant has become too popular and frankly not worth the wait. Even once you get a table, you'll wait til you get to order, have a long while before the food arrives (one cook, one server - needs more staff), maybe see your server twice so good luck if you want anything during your meal.

After reading several excellent reviews on trip advisor we set off to enjoy a good brunch. The cafe lived up to our expectations and the reviews in all respects except for the service. It is indeed a cozy setting along a canal, though the tables are very close together and inside it is a little dark. Food was also good,... More

Small restaurant with a lovely view of the canal spoilt for choice with the different teas on offer! My partner and I both had the creamy courgette soup which was delicious I want the recipe!! Homemade bread was tasty. Will be visiting again on our next trip!

Friendly staff, great english breakfast, extra large cup of latte and delicious carrot cake. It's not a huge place with a few tables outside. No booking on sundays and you'll just have to wait if it's busy.

I have not got a bad word to say about this place. The staff are friendly the food is great and you meet people from every walk of life dropping in. Great place to sit on the canal and watch the world go by.

We tried to eat here (on Singel) on the first day of our break but missed it, as it's hidden by flowers/ivy over the top of the entrance and we went up the wrong side of the canal.We went back the next day (day of Europa League Final) and just beat about 15 Chelsea fans to the door !The breakfast...

I made a point of visiting greenwood's after reading so many good reviews on here, and i am so glad i did! staff very friendly and accommodating. You might have to wait awhile for a table, but it is worth it. Very reasonably priced and the hot chocolate is to die for! A great way to start the day. We... More

My family and I were coming to Amsterdam for a short layover and I looked at a place where we could get breakfast on our first day - in the afternoon! Greenwoods was just the right place, especially when feeling jetlagged and the brain is thinking breakfast at 3 pm. The day we were there was very cold, but the... More

Greenwoods serve awesome breakfasts. Do not miss their poached eggs! We stayed in Amsterdam for about a week and kept coming back to Greenwoods again and again... and again.
