Excellent vegan English breakfast

I went with a group of friends on a weekday early afternoon, and it took about 20 minutes to get seated. It was worth the wait. The staff were very busy, but friendly. The vegan versions of the English Breakfast was excellent. Even though it was very crowded, we were told it was fine for us to stay as long as we liked.

Pros: Excellent vegan English breakfast, friendly staff

Cons: small, but cozy, not very quiet (but lively)

Kaum vegane Optionen

Wir dachten, dass es gute preiswerte Optionen gäbe, aber wurden bitter enttäuscht. Als VeganerIn nicht zu Empfehlen :/

Cons: Preis, Portionsgröße, Vegane Alternative

Earthy and affordable

They have different options, just ask the waitresses. The food is good and earthy, large quantities for a fairly affordable price. The place is small but cosy. Sadly no reservations so you can wait outside for a while.

Pros: The food , The service , Open to changes

Cons: The wait

Lekker vegan ontbijt

Heel druk bezochte zaak, we moesten even wachten maar éénmaal plaats konden we genieten van een Brits vegan ontbijt. Lekker maar niet super.

Nice breakfast

Great spot if dining with non vegan friends. Few vegan options on the menu, seems to change from time to time. It's a really popular spot and you may have to wait a while for a table.
I thought the breakfast was nice and great to see they had more to offer than toast etc. Central location and handy if staying close by nearby.

It’s ok

They must change their menu often- currently there’s a vegan burger and a yogurt and oat/parfait type situation.
No vegan breakfast, it’s now vegetarian (with eggs)
The pancakes are not labeled vegan but could be.
Food looks great and pretty- definitely appealing. The fries were crunchy and the beetroot mayo was a pretty pink dipper. The vegan burger of sweet potato was a little mushy, but a pleasant sweet.
Not quite veggie burger but also not a faux meat burger. I requested a side of sautéed mushrooms they were delicious.

Pros: Cute , Tea time-y, Vegan option

Cons: Very small , Very busy

Very average and little choice

There are three vegan options currently: pancake stack with sausage, scrambled tofu and bacon, vegan sweet potato burger and seasonal salad. The scrambled tofu has good structure and color but is pretty much tasteless - a pinch of kala namak would make a world of a difference. The sausage and the pancakes were ok. The burger patty was way too soft. The beetroot mayo looks pretty.
I visited the place before and had the salad, it was good (but yeah, what can go wrong with a salad?..).
The place is small (but kinda cozy) and fills up fast, so be prepared to wait, as this location doesn’t take reservations.
All in all, pretty average. The Factory Girl in de Pijp has a similar concept (all day breakfast), but way more vegan options.

For your non vegan friend who wants english breakfast

3.6 They don’t have many options and the place is a bit cramped. The food they do have is nice(2options being savoury pancakes and my yoghurt when I was there). Suprisingly busy at 1220 on a tuesday but maybe due to the second week of the christmas holiday.

Breakfast all day long

Small and busy restaurant. No reservations. We waited only ten minutes for a free table.
Coffee war very good. The vegetarian breakfast is excellent. The vegan one was a bit oversized for my taste. A lot of roasted potatoes with poor taste. I also had better vegan scrambled eggs before.
Service was very friendly.

Bella sorpresa

Avevo letto alcune recensioni in cui si diceva che l’unica opzione vegana fosse la versione plant-based della English Breakfast. Non amando la colazione salata ero un po’ preoccupata. In realtà è presente anche un’opzione dolce che mi ha sorpreso: una sorta di overnight oats servito a palline con yogurt plant-based (uno tra i più buoni mai mangiati) e frutta. Anche qui opzioni di latte vegetali a non finire! Consigliato

Pros: Piatti originali

Cons: Spazi piccoli

A Must-try

The Vegan English Breakfast is a substantial offering including excellent scrambled tofu and homemade vegan soda bread. But it is heavy on mock meats (two kinds of sausage and bacon), salt and fried. Other than half a tomato and fried potatoes, there really aren’t any vegetables. It’s an impressive dish but could be modified to be a little healthier. Would it still be considered an “English” breakfast?

Pros: A big vegan option , Nice location and outdoor seating , Efficient service

Cons: Gets busy early

Vegan breakfast is really good

There's only one vegan breakfast but it is delicious. It's very British style, with the sausage, beans, scrambled 'egg' tofu, tomato, mushrooms. The hash brown was home made. Very nice food.

Pros: Great vegan breakfast

Cons: Only one vegan breakfast option

Delicious Vegan English Breakfast

A cute little cosy cafe which serves a vegan fried breakfast with vegan soda bread. All veg was really well seasoned and the soda bread was amazing. One of the best vegan English breakfasts I have had (and this is coming from someone from the UK!). It is very popular but if you show up they add you to a waiting list and tell you what time to come back which is nice.

Very nice vegan breakfast

Had a „full vegan breakfast“ and it was very delicious. It’s a nice spot where you can sit by the river and eat / drink. Coffee was also very good.

Pros: Vegan breakfast, Vegan coffee, Nice location

Kuschlig-kleines Lokal

Das Lokal ist sehr klein, deshalb muss man auf jeden Fall Wartezeit vor der Tür einplanen. Es gibt ein herzhaft veganes Frühstück mit Rührtofu, diversen angebratenem Gemüse und selbstgebackenen Brot. Das war lecker! Aber leider auch das einzige Menü für Veganer. Dafür das sich das Lokal mit sustainable ausgezeichnet hat, fand ich die Menüauswahl schlecht gewählt.

Pros: Zu Hause Feeling, freundliches Personal, , Wartezeit im Lokal kurz

Cons: Nur 1 vegane Mahlzeit (!)

Good option if you go with no vegans

I like the fact they finally have a vegan option! Their soda bread is a dream, so tasty! But I miss the butter on it, they could easily find a vegan version of it? Also, why not making a vegan English breakfast? There’s a lot of vegan sausages in the market in the Netherlands... 🤔.
So to conclude, there’s lots of better places for vegan breakfast in Amsterdam, but this is your best option if you have to go with meat eaters since their Omni menu is delicious!

Pros: Great if you go with non vegans, Excellent soda bread, Central location

Cons: always full, Only one vegan option

Nice food, weird vibe

Was struggling to find a place to eat breakfast, came here, was so so busy, rude staff, served loads of veg for breakfast, asked for baked beans (don’t know why they can’t offer just tomatoes, beans, toast, mushrooms, rather than other weird non breakfast veg?) boyfriend is omni, his food was nice

Pros: Vegan option available , Nice orange choice , Plant milks

Cons: Expensive , Rude staff , Very busy

Best Vegan Breakfast!

I enjoyed the big vegan breakfast and a Almond Milk Latte. The food was incredible! A giant plate filled with fried potatoes, avocado, mushrooms tomatoes, baked beans, asparagus and spinach. I highly recommend that you order the house-made Soda Bread - it is SO GOOD!

Pros: Vegan milk options, Friendly staff, Large portions

Cons: Can be very busy

Delightful

I visited Greenwoods twice during a short stay in Amsterdam. I had The Vegan sandwich on my first visit and the vegan version of the Full English Breakfast on my second visit. Both were delicious and served in satisfying portions. I was traveling with non-vegans and they thoroughly enjoyed their meals as well. The staff was very pleasant. It is a small cafe, so expect a queue. It is worth the wait!
