I visited Joe & The Juice on Runstraat for a coffee before starting my first full day of my 2023 trip to The Netherlands. They're in a good spot and around a 10-minute walk from both Leidseplein and Anne Frank House.
PRO TIP: If you purchase a gift card via the Joe and the Juice app, you can get some great savings. Not only are the products discounted, but you can also add an item to your drink/sandwich for free, a gift card gets you ten of a single product and you can use it at any Joe and the Juice location in The Netherlands, including at the airport!
I ordered ahead via the Joe and the Juice app, and my party of 3 ordered a drink each - we chose a hot latte and two Iced Gingerbread lattes, there was a bit of a wait for the drinks but they were busy so it was understandable.
The beverage quality was good, I liked the flavour of the gingerbread, which was exclusive to the Christmas season, as my visit came in mid-December 2023, and the overall quality of the coffee was good.
They ended up making me an extra drink, as they must have got confused, after letting them know, I noticed that they gave this extra drink to another customer, saying "This is on us", it seemed like a nice gesture and ensured the extra drink didn't go to waste.
The staff here seemed very friendly and they appeared to be trying their best, despite dealing with a rush of orders from coffees to smoothies.
The seating area was fine, but not as comfortable as other Joe & The Juice locations around the city.
The vibes inside the store were pretty chill and laid back, there was a lot of room too for customers waiting to pick up their orders which I liked, as it can sometimes feel a little cramped in that scramble for your drink.
4* - Friendly staff, good coffee quality that was worth the wait. It might not be the best Joe and the Juice in the city, but is certainly a nice option while in Amsterdam whether you're looking for a coffee, a smoothie or a sandwich.
