  • leah m.

the food was very overpriced especially for the lack of flavor and customer service. we ordered a variety of food that took a ridiculous amount of time to come out and despite the variety, the flavors were bland and the food was very dry. our waitress had a very cold demeanor, and forced us to move tables for no apparent reason (it was empty the entire time we were there.) besides that, the interior was quite cramped despite it being almost empty which just adds more questions on the lack of enjoyable service. even as someone who isn't into those type of places, the bulldog coffeeshop was a much more enjoyable visit.

As a tourist customer service is always an important factor. The female waitress was lovely but I got charged €10 for a €5 portion of chips and a €3.50 Bulldog energy drink by a male waiter. Tbh it’s disgusting to tip yourself €1.50 when I have basic maths. I didn’t question it because I was in confusion but I hope this is not a reflection of how they treat all tourist. Experience would’ve been satisfactory had I not been overcharged.

The Bulldog Mack cafe is an absolute gem in Amsterdam's vibrant scene. The atmosphere is inviting, with a perfect blend of classic charm and modern comfort. The staff are not only friendly but also incredibly knowledgeable about their offerings. Whether you're looking for a quiet spot to relax or a lively place to meet friends, The Bulldog Mack cafe has it all. I can't recommend it enough!

The 40+ latina waitress with lots of makup will charge you for a double if you ask for a coffee. I ordered a simple black coffee ended up paying 6 euros for a half cup of so called "double" i never asked for. It is the second time in 3 months, so there is not a mistake or doubts left. Management may want to have a look around, she is using the Bulldog fame to overcharge tourists, it's a shame. As a regular of Amsterdam, i won't be back and I'll make sure to let know as many people as I can of the scam.

Went here as soon as they opened on the morning of my 21st birthday as a way to wake and bake. We sat outside which is lovely. If I'm not mistaken we had gorilla glue here ( Don't know if we got it at this exact bulldogs or a different one). I had a Jamaican coffee which was a little bitter in my opinion but now I know to stick to chocomel when smoking :) (selfie was taken by the outdoor seating area so you can get an idea of the view you'd have)

Good spot to have a drink and hangout. It's a much more interesting spot to smoke than most coffeeshops and you can mix it with a beer. Fortunately they don't allow tobacco, so it just works and is one of my favorite places downtown Amsterdam. Really good music too, specially at night and weekends. Service is decent, never had a problem any time I went. Just a good hang. Went in 2014 and came back late 2022, place was the same. And I'm glad it was.

Could not recommend - the service was just above adequate etiquette. I got ‘okay’ Gin Tonic. After setting my laptop and the drink at the tables that are with cow leather in the back, I was asked by the waiter to go to the front of the bar and sit on the high table by the bar. No explanation, just that I cannot sit there. There was no reservation on the table, nor there were more than 15 people in the bar. I does not have pleasant time here .

  • Agaatje Toffi

Great place to hang out with friends and have a bear. Music and atmosphere there is just great. I had a wonderful time there. Cost of a beer is 7€. It's a bit expensive place, but great for tourists. If you are visiting Amsterdam, I recommend this place to hang out with friends.

Great place to visit, especially if you have called into the cafe beforehand and want a place to sit and chill. The staff were lovely and the place had a really good buzz.

Large number of bulldog bars around this area. We went on a Friday night. You pay 50c for the bathroom, and drinks are not cheap in any way however we had a booth which gave us service to the table. Girl serving was amazingly friendly and helpful with local knowledge also.

Stopped here for breakfast. I had the English breakfast and my wife had a cheese and tomato omelette on toast. Both were excellent and the place is the full on Dutch experience. Their coffeeshop is just a few shops down if you find yourself running low

Well located, not extremely busy. You can watch the boats go by. Tables were filthy, nastily cleaned with a filthy cloth . In the end, “the printer was broken and no receipt could be given” . Food was so-so. I won’t go again.

Went here for breakfast here and it was lovely. Not the cheapest you'll find I Amsterdam but not the most expensive either. Definitely worth it if you ask me. Can smoke inside, (not tobacco) located next the first bulldog coffee shop. Very easy to find.
