Bagels & Beans

Good coffee, but poor food. The bagels were hard and not very tasty. Took over 25 min for our food to be made, very slow and not to tasty.

Bagels and Beans has great coffee and excellent food! Everything was fresh and very well prepared!!! For sure worth going to!

Bagels & beans used to be my go to before I moved to Amsterdam and stayed a lot at hotels. What I like about it is that there are lots of them around and you know you can get something reasonably healthy every time.
My favorite is their super food yoghurt — thick creamy yoghurt topped both various «super foods» (in this case it means chia seeds, mulberries, goji berries, hemp seed, walnuts and bee pollen).
If gluten intolerant, they also have gluten free bagels on the menu. I do find it quite risky though to put bee pollen in a mainstream yoghurt. Don’t get me wrong — I personally love it — but I learned the hard way that there are quite a few out there who are extremely allergic to it — without knowing it. I took a colleague to a b&b for breakfast. We had the yoghurt and everything was good. A few hours later he was feeling very sick, and had rashes all over. After some googling we realized it must have been the pollen.
But. Despite that. Easy to find, you can pay with your Visa card (yay!!) and a good place for quick and cheapish food.

Die Stimmung, die durch das nette Personal und das ansprechende Interieur verbreitet wird, wird durch die unfassbar leckeren Bagels perfektioniert.

Oh hier ist es richtig schön zum draussen sitzen und das urbane Treiben zu beobachten.
Der Service ist sehr schnell, mega freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Ihr findet hier Salate, leckere Frühstücksvarianten und BAGELS! YUMMI! Ich hatte einen mit Ziegenkäse, Nüssen und Honig — ein Träumchen. Dazu Sojamilch-​Cappuccino (leeecker… man kann zu zweit die Riesentasse nehmen: D) und Soja-​Matcha-​Latte (diese hat mir hier aber nicht so geschmeckt).
Es gibt auch frische Säfte, Superfood-​Bowls, Smoothies — und alles mit spez. Label wie organic, animal-​friendly etc., was ich echt cool finde.
Es ist eine holländische Franchise-​Kette, der aber Authentizität wichtig ist und man definitiv nicht auf Massenabfertigung setzt.
Mir gefällt es hier sehr gut, denn das Essen schmeckt, Service und Ambiente sind super! :)

Bagles are nice and so the drinks selection, a bit too small for my taste, in the winter you need to be careful when moving around to avoid hitting the tables/​other customers.

Feeling a bit hungry and in need of a good lunch we quickly stumbled inside the Bagles and Beans store near my home. Now as a person who spent years living in London upon hearing the word BEANS I quickly tought of beans as having a savory-​sweet flavor and a brownish or reddish tinted white mixed in tasty tomatoes.
It was a sunny day and the outside terras was a bit busy so we went to look for a seat inside. The interior looks super cozy with comfortable couches against the wall. The atmosphere does attract a certain kind of crowd, many regulars and students.
We took a corner seat on the wall couch and looked at the menu. You can choose between a wide variety of bagles and toppings depending on what your feeling you can even choose for non bagle options. It’s here where my tomatoe beans dream was shattered. The beans in Bagels and Beans stand for coffee beans!
We ordered the Tuna Melt with a Latte, Smoked Chicken and fresh strawberry juice. The service was quick and we got our order served in just a few minutes!
The bagles were warm and crispy and they looked fantastic! The ingredients looked fresh and tasty. I was a bit disappointed with the amount of chedar cheese used for the tuna melt as there was hardly any cheese on there, a tuna melt with just a slice of cheese? The smoked chicken bagle was alright but nothing special, the chicken was not smoky at all. We asked for a some mayonais and we got a small serving with hardly enough mayo for 1 person. I really enjoyed the Latte it was abselutly delicious and the strawberry juice had a nice fresh taste to it.
The place is right across a small canal so perfect view when chilling on the outside terrace. Trams stops a few feet away and if your with a car than beware of the outrages 4 euros per hour parking rate!
The atmosphere in my opinion is better than the food. I would probably bring my book next time and just lounge there with a tasty cup of coffee.

As tourists trying to stay off the beaten path a bit, we found B&B super close to our apartment rental. The café is lovely — indoor and outdoor seating are both great, sunny and welcoming. We’ve been there for breakfast two days in a row now and we have zero complaints. The staff is hospitable, service is timely, and the food is excellent. B&B on De Clercq makes you forget it’s part of a chain, and I will miss it when I return home to the States!

Bagels & Beans’ interior and I are never going to be friends. It’s just not cozy. If I didn’t know that they serve great food I’d never enter one of their shops.
However, I gladly I once did, ignoring the decoration, and ever since I pay a visit from time to time to enjoy a bagel or a sweet.
The B&B at De Clercqstraat is my favorite one. It’s light and has got a nice terrace for sunny days.
The staff is very nice and you get served quickly. It always feels good to come back here.
