The Breakfast Club × XO Hotels · 8 locations across Amsterdam
The Breakfast Club serves the city’s favourite all-day breakfast: stacked pancakes, shakshuka, specialty coffee and fresh juices at eight locations across Amsterdam. Whichever XO hotel you wake up in, there’s one nearby. Consider this your morning map.
The idea
Amsterdam does mornings well, and The Breakfast Club does them best. Neighbourhood spots where locals queue on weekends and the coffee is taken seriously. Each location sits in a different corner of the city, which makes breakfast the perfect excuse to explore a new neighbourhood every day of your stay.
01 — The menu
Sweet stacks and syrup on one side of the table, eggs, shakshuka and avo on the other, plus fresh juices and specialty coffee that holds its own against any roastery in town. Breakfast runs all day, so a slow start is a valid strategy.

02 — The spread
De Pijp, Oud-West, by the Vondelpark, Haarlemmerplein, Oost, Roeterseiland, the Zuidas and Sloterdijk. Eight locations, each in a genuinely different Amsterdam. Do a different one each morning and you’ll have seen more of the city than most walking tours manage.

03 — The timing
Weekend brunch hours get busy. Go before 10:00 or after 13:00 on Saturday and Sunday, or pick the quieter locations (Sloterdijk, Zuidas, Roeterseiland) when the centre spots have a line out the door.
Weekdays: walk right in

Good mornings
At eight locations: De Pijp, Oud-West, by the Vondelpark, Haarlemmerplein, Oost (Wibautstraat), Roeterseiland, the Zuidas and Sloterdijk. Every XO hotel has one within a walk or a single ride.
All-day breakfast: pancake stacks, eggs every way, shakshuka, fresh juices and serious specialty coffee. Sweet and savoury both get equal billing.
Weekdays you can usually walk in. Weekend brunch hours are the busy window. Go before 10:00 or after 13:00, or choose a quieter location like Sloterdijk or the Zuidas.
Most of our hotels do, but on a lazy morning, The Breakfast Club is the reason to leave the room. The walk there is half the point.
