Today another visit to yet another Bagels & Beans. Bagels & Beans is everywhere in Amsterdam and today we ended up at the one in the beginning of the Kinkerstraat. Actually we wanted to go to a new place that is opening across the street from the Bagels & Beans, but it was not open yet. So Bagels & Beans was a good second.
We got in and it was quite full. Luckily there was a place free in the window. The sun was shining today, although it was cold. But sitting inside in the sun behind the window was nice and warm, which I was grateful for. The chocolates in the sugar not though, cause they were melted from the heat. Not a pretty sight.
Bagels & Beans has a variety of bagels with different toppings on the menu. From basic cream cheese to the old dutch cheese with mustard and pickles. They also have fresh juices, sweets and coffees. The girl came fairly quickly to ask for our order even though the place was full. I ordered a large carrot and orange juice and a bagel with parma ham. My friend ordered a no stress juice, that’s a mix of juices with ginger and royal jelly. Also large. When the girl came with the drinks though they were both normal size. So she took them back and a little later the large versions appeared. But make sure to emphasize that you want the XL version, cause it is something that often goes wrong.
The bagel arrived a little later and by then my friend also got hungry so he ordered a bagel with cream cheese with walnuts and honey. When his bagel arrived we dug in. The combination of parma ham and rocket salad was quite nice on my bagel. I read the other day in the Mens Health that you shouldn’t eat bagels if you want to get a six pack, so I ordered a brownie and a coffee to alleviate my guilt 
Unfortunately they didn’t have the chai tea today.
The brownie here is very nice! Now they have added some kind of chocolate sprinkles on top making it even better. My friend wanted to order a muffin, but the kind he wanted still needed to be baked, so he chose another one otherwise it would take at least six minutes said the girl. But my friend still had to wait a long time before getting the muffin, so that was a bit strange, cause then he could have taken the muffin he wanted anyway.
Bagels & Beans is the best place to come to have a bagel lunch with a fresh juice or some sweets with a coffee.
