Highly recommended lunch place. The staff is very attentive and seem to really enjoy working there. The food is delicious and original. Everything is good. Treat yourself to an advocaatje as dessert
Emily DavidNovember 13, 2015Had the shrimp salad sandwich (not the actual name)+ excellent cappuccino that came w delicious almond pastry of which I had to have more. Very comfortable atmosphere for dining solo or w company.
BommyJune 26, 2016Very minimalistic interior with friendly server! Coffee and tea come with a mini friand pastry. Yogurt with granola and fruit is deliciously crunchy and filling.

Stephanie IpJanuary 28, 2017Great cafe for catching a break from the hustle and bustle in Amsterdam. We got the rillette and the steak sandwich. The rillete is good and the steak sandwich was to die for! Recommended!
Astrid JunghansFebruary 25, 2016The fruit, yoghurt and granola is great. Same holds for their coffee. Overall it's a very nice place, with good service and nice staff. Works well not only for breakfast and brunch but all day long.

- AnneJune 27, 2015Loved the Gravad Lax and Welsh Rarebit we had for lunch. The staff is really friendly. But I missed kanelbullar and/or kardemummabullar on the breakfast menu, instead of the pain au chocolat.
Paul LambieFebruary 3, 2018This place is excellent. Delicious decaf coffee and fresh tea. They put two tables together for us and we’re kind and helpful. Great music at a gentle volume made Kessens perfect for a quiet break.

NicoleJanuary 3, 2019Everything is delicious. Interior is quaint and cute. The “extra” breakfast is worth every penny.
Nice spot for breakfast and lunch, just steps away from the Anne Frank House. Big table in the back to read a newspaper!
Jen AuAugust 11, 2018Always get whipped cream with the hot chocolate. This place had the best whipped cream I've ever had in my life.
tatyana kuznetsovaJune 11, 2016Good soup with plant milk but somehow it is served with butter. Make sure to tell your server to not bring it if you want a vegan option- Kessens is a nice spot for a great latte and late breakfast. Just steps away from the Anne Frank House, on the Rozengracht!
Teodora IvanovaDecember 2, 2019The meal was delicious, wine was good too and the staff were really nice and friendly. I recommend it- Muffin ManJune 3, 2019WHY THERE: breakfast/brunch. STUFF: good. STAFF: friendly. LOCATION: close to mainstream (convenient). PRICES: average (reasonable)
