About

Dwaze Zaken is a charming, art‑inspired café tucked in the heart of Amsterdam, just steps from Central Station. Since 2003, it has offered a welcoming blend of Dutch comfort food and innovative brunch, lunch, and dinner menus that celebrate local ingredients. The space reflects the café’s Christian roots through warm, rustic décor and friendly, family‑friendly service. Whether you’re craving a hearty Dutch breakfast platter, a freshly baked croissant, or a plant‑based vegan dish, the menu boasts options for every palate. The café’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its locally sourced menu, featuring ethically produced coffee, fair‑trade chocolate, and products from nearby farms such as Lindenhoff. Daily, the menu balances classic favorites—such as Dutch pancakes and hotdogs—with creative vegan staples like vegan lasagna and a range of vegan salads. With free Wi‑Fi and a cozy ambiance, Dwaze Zaken makes an ideal stop for travelers, students, or locals looking to relax after a busy day. Open from 10:00 am to 9:00 pm on weekdays and Saturdays, the café closes on Sundays, giving the staff a well‑deserved rest. Reservations are encouraged for groups of nine or more to ensure a seating experience, but tables can also be taken on a first‑come, first‑served basis. The café welcomes all visitors, offering a seamless blend of quick lunches and leisurely breakfasts in a convenient central location.
