STACH-food - Zeilstraat 50

Can I be honest? I only go there cause I like checking out samples and then I give in and buy that product cause it actually tastes good. I am not a fan of sitting in there cause I find the food to be over priced but oh well not too bad. Has a hip vibe and very sweet servers!

If you read my reviews it's no secret that I'm a big fan of the Stach cafes and stores. I first went to this location last year and at that time it was half the size it is now. Stach is very consistent with their brand at all their locations. Same menu (except for their two burger bar cafes). They have their regular great broodjes and sweets, wine and beer. I love their Chenin Blanc (which was sold out at this time). This store is a corner-store entrance...very common with most of the Stach's locations. They prefer and target these properties because in the "old days" the Dutch used these corner locations as a "meeting place" - so they told me. They most recently replaced their other half of the store (which I assume was seating added since I was last there) with a "pop-up" market to support local vendors and distributors who can no longer sell to local restaurants. Great, high quality restaurant quality food for you to purchase and take home and make - with directions (in Dutch) and everything you need. Plus a lot of condiments and everything else. See my photos. This is located near the Zoud (south-west) side of Vondelpark in Amsterdam on a major road and near a huge canal. It's in more of residential area but with tons of high-end retail shops. They are obviously still open during this pandemic. They usually have one or two courages, very friendly people working in there (due to spacing issues). There are only four (4) customers allowed in the winkle at a time - which is a lot for many small shops in Amsterdam. They will whip up an awesome broodje (sandwich) for you in a hurry. If you have to wait outside, it doesn't take long for them to finish with a customer. It's amazing how the people of Amsterdam adapt and are polite enough to scoot out of the store when finished so the people waiting can get inside. I can imagine this was a great place to get some telework done when it allowed inside eating - but it's worth visiting next time you're in Amsterdam and staying on that side of town. As a silly hobby, I've tried to visit every Stach in the country. The two I haven't visited yet are closed until the government changes the Corona restrictions. Bedankt (thank you) Stach for keeping your stores open during these terrible times, giving us a small sense of normalcy in Amsterdam as well as your wonderful service and products! I'll follow-up with this review after things return to normal and the store is back in full-swing!

Disgusting coffee and that for 3.50 small cup ..strange interesting overly high prices products . Really don't know what this supermarket is doing in the city.

Since your staff INSIST on speaking to me in English I will also post my review in English. It is incredibly rude to respond to someone in a different language, every time I order from your staff in Dutch (which I speak very well after 10 years here, and use everyday for my work!) and they respond to me in English. I am not English and this is such a rude and patronising way to welcome someone into your store. The coffee is good but I won't be buying it here anymore, sadly.

Please rename your brownie to chocolate cake. I was so disappointed :( it has nothing to do with brownie.

Stopped by this place while in the neighborhood last week or so and it was amazing! The food was delicious and it was really peaceful, therefore a perfect place to hang out while enjoying your meal. Plus, the worker had Khalid on when I was there hahaha.

when you walk into stach, looking at the display of food, your mouth just can't stop watering. they have a great selection of cooked food, pastries, drinks, condiments, cheese, cookies all crammed in this tight little spot where you can sit down and have a coffee too. very decent.

Pretty good coffee and oatmeal cookies. Not spectacularly great coffee though and really depending on the person behind the counter. Sandwiches are not really highly recommendable. Stach is usually the first ones that open in the neighborhood so that’s a plus!
