Places visited:
B&B Amsterdam. I love this place for their lunches! For this breakfast test they were not the cheapest though...
Ikea Amsterdam - Budget breakfast for one euro only! Pretty far out of town though...
Hema and Bakker Bart on the Kalverstraat. Right at the center. Note Hema opens at 9 o'clock but Bakker Bart only at 9.30.
Jumbo foodmarket. It's in north, but one of my favorites. Only 1,50 euro - very good quality food and a great ambiance. If the last spot wouldn't be there, this would be my favorite by far!
La Place at the top of the OBA (Amsterdam library). Here you can create your own breakfast, with cinnamon cookies or yoghurt, fresh fruit, granola, eggs - you name it. When the weather is good, go sit outside, the views over Amsterdam are amazing! For 3,25 euro each - you'll have an amazing starter of the day.

CAMERA equipment I use
**Canon Powershot N100 - amzn.to/2aEbDZS (affiliate)
A budget option I loved very much for my first year of travel vlogging.
** Sony RX100 mk4 - amzn.to/2awvMyn (affiliate)
Oh my, how I love this new camera! Use this one from the Batanes series (Philippines II) onwards.
** GoPro HERO4 Silver - amzn.to/2aEpnqy (affiliate)
I mainly use this camera for under water shots. Love the little screen at the back so your shots will not be a surprise till you're at your computer
** Joby Gorilla Pod - amzn.to/2aIFsJd (affiliate)
Small and compact, will stable shots. Love this mini tripod. Especially when traveling alone it's a great help.

This was such a cool little video! Thank you. For someone on a budget this is priceless!!!
That view at the library was amazing, this video brings back a few memories when I was in Amsterdam.
Cool :D Hope it's all good memories :)
I lived in Amsterdam for 10 years because I knew there was nowhere else on earth like it. Now, it looks like everywhere else, square and plastic, so I don't need to go there anymore. I can't help but think of what Rembrandt might think of his once beautiful city. But I can say the you did a Very good job and I will watch every vlog you make, knowing that I am getting quality. Thank you so much for this and can you do more stuff about Nederland.
now make a video "where to have lunch the chepest way" please hahaha
cheers from brazil
+Alexandre Pereira 😁😁😁
Probably all the same places!
Such a creative way to share the greatest deals in town! Still amazed at how much you can get for 1-2 euro WOW! Awesome presentation
Thanx so much! Yeah, I keep on wondering how they manage for that amount of money.... food, accomodation - people prepairing it for you! It's really, really cheap :D
Loved this video!
GRETL thanks a lot for the tip ontbijt on top of the Bibliothek.....it was really nice up there and a good breakfast, too.greetings from Nürnberg germany
Thanx Holger! I feel it's one of the best hidden gems for cheap food, and good views :) Great I made your day a bit better with this vid :D

Nice video. I live in Amsterdam, off to the library tomorrow for breakfast :)
Great tips as always!
Thank you :D
Thank you so much for sharing!
that was a good video that was well put together! keep it going
thanx 😀😁😊
What a fun video! I have never had any of those breakfasts. I'm definitely missing out!
😊😊 I did but not in Amsterdam. my mom is a big fan of breakfasts like this!!
The food market looks like a pretty place to eat! But those views from the library are just gorgeous!
😊😊😀
How good is the view at that last place! And I love that you can pick and choose your items. :)
me too!!!! though this time I went for too much sweet stuff 😉😉
these are some pretty good secrets, most of the tourists don't know. i'm going to adam for the 4th time now, and never knew that i could have a cheap breakfast with great view at the library! THANK YOU
i always bought me a nice sandwich at "backwerk" (2-3 euros) and bought a big coffee for just 50 cents at the LIDL store.
Hi Gretl, As always love your video and information that comes with it. BTW you look very hungry, LOL!
😊😊 haha, thanx!!! And by the end I was definitely feeing sick ;)
With all the food you ate you should be. Next time share with us. :-P
Hahaha, would love too!
Now I must go back to Amsterdam! Such great views!
😊😊😀😀
Thank you. It was great
Grandma Gretl haha! Thanks for the laugh with my breakfast :)
Hahaha, cool :D Great to hear it made you smile :D I am really looking forward till the day I'll be grandma Gretl. Think grey hair would look amazing on me ;) :D
Haha cool intro!!Was the banana alive? ;)I have to say the library one is amazing!! The view is awesome for a budget breakfast! ;) cheers
Hahaha, well I think it was! I freezed him afterwards and ate him in a smoothie this morning. Found an even more black banana in our common kitchen for my next intro ;) And thanx :D
OMG! Brilliant! Love, love love!
😀😀😀 thanx!!! great you've enjoyed 😁😁
Great fun this vlog. Grandma Gretel😃
great video.... usefull!!!
Breakfast looks pretty yummy and at good prices it's just getting there ☺ thanks for the nice video you make ☺
Thank you :D Great to find you here in the comment section again :)
Very entertaining intro and overall video Grandma Gretl! Lol you kinda look like your mom with those glasses on. And 1 euro 50...that is awesome. I thought Amsterdam would be more expensive, but it looks like there are affordable places to go if you're on a budget.
Amsterdam generally is, you need to know where to go 😊😊😊 haha, yeah I do!! people do tell us all the time how much we look alike 😀😀
What a fun guide! did you do it all in one day? In America, Ikea also has great cheap food. We pronounce it "eye-key-ah". :) the library had such a great view!
:) No, it was impossible. Took me two days really. Ikea and Jumbo are on the other side of town so by the time you arrive, breakfast is finished ;)
Haha I quite liked this video!
thanx 😁😀
Now I know where to get breakfast with a beautiful view when I go to Amsterdam 😋😍
:D
Love the video, very well done! Quite humorous with the thumbs up/down! :)
:) Thanx!
I'd love to go on this Amsterdam breakfast tour!
😊😊😊
LOL very funny video. Thank you
I will be in Amsterdam next May with my husband and toddler. I am so excited to go visit that library for breakfast. What a great view and bargain. I'm hoping that children are allowed. Thanks for sharing your tips.
cool! Sure, why shouldn't they?! 😀
One Euro breakfast! Can't beat that! Nice tips!
haha, true!!! Even the locals can't - really wonder how they do it...
Hey there! Do you know if the prices are the same in 2019? Going back there this month. Thanks
BEST VIDEO EVER
Haha, thanx ;)
And here i am thinking the breakfast for the dutch is limited to pancakes!
Will definitely come back to this vid if ever i get the chance to be back in the Netherlands! 😊
superb i love ur video
:D
Quality vlog!
Thank you so much :D Great to hear you've enjoyed :)
Excellent video! My regular breakfast stop in Amsterdam is Cafe Karpershoek. OK. Not really but I always stop there for a pint after leaving the station...even before checking in to my hotel so it is how I start my day/night in your lovely city. Proost!
haha, cool! Should check it out one day 😊
+Travel Gretl Actually it's quite unremarkable except that it's the oldest pub in Amsterdam (1606). I like old and historic establishments even when the only thing going for them is that they are old and historic. 🤔😀
hahaha, that was a great intro. and good topic. grandma in a great addition. hahah ...ROYAL PO PO! hahaha
😁😁💩
Good suggestions Grandma Gretl!
haha, thanx!!! 😁😁😁
I love watching videos, great tips too! planning to go Amsterdam my hotel does not include breakfast.
+Billie Anderson ah! Then there might be some good tips in here indeed 😊😊 Enjoy your time in Amsterdam 😁😀
Great, tanks
Thank you. I'm going in may 2019. I'm sure going to use your tips
:D Have fun!
Hey Did you visit yet?
Nicely done and what great tips. Indeed OBA is the best.
It is! Forget it all the time and then keep re-discovering it - which also is a cool feeling actually ;)
Amsterdam is so beautiful :)
It is! Fingers crossed it will stay a place for locals too, instead of just touristifying ;)
I went to there two days ago. Thanks for the type, it was a very good breakfast indeed but the price it's not this anymore. I had to pay each things that I choose it.in a separate price. Anyway thank you, the view is very nice indeed and as I just said the food as well.
Thanks :)
Nice and grappig video, leuk
Groeten out Berlijn
Perfection 🤣❤️
Very informative. Incredible the Ikea breakfast is only one euro.
:) It is! How do they do that?!
Does La place still exist at OBA? I wish to visit but I can't find anything about it online.Thanks for the video btw! :)
Good question! The bigger firm behind it actually went bankrupt so it might not exist no more... should check it one day again I guess 😊😊
Your funny lol.. I like it. makes my night....
Hahaha, great :D Thanx :)
Hey!! sorry to ask, but is the Hema breakfast avaiable in every Hema Shopping center?
Hi! There used to be in all with a foodcorner - but not sure nowadays!
What library is the one you mentioned. Any specific part of Amsterdam. Please share the details. And thank you.
It is the public library next to the Centraal Station/ Amsterdam Centraal. www.google.com/maps/dir/Centraal+Station,+Amsterdam,+Netherlands/OBA+library+of+Amsterdam,+Oosterdokskade+143,+1011+DL+Amsterdam,+Netherlands/@52.3765452,4.9023052,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x47c609b7648f168f:0x28c2494c1bc8baa1!2m2!1d4.900779!2d52.377492!1m5!1m1!1s0x47c609d7c00d474f:0x6b97f693e6ecb494!2m2!1d4.9082087!2d52.3756983
I still have to get to Amsterdam. Maybe next year who knows. Wouldn't have thought to go to Ikea, but I am not surprised. A lot of people eat in Ikea here sometimes. At least the bread is a bit more filling.
😊😊 yeah, they do a good job long time! think they started the cheap breakfasts 😊
Currently I am in Stockholm now. This ikea is quite popular here. I can see the price in Holland isn’t cheap either.
You are a best actor
Wish I'd seen this video a few months ago.Was just there in march. :-)
Nice! How did you like it? :)
Loved it. I would have have checked it out if I knew this. (y) Have to get a library card. lol
I just happened to find your channel through the "WAY AWAY" today and I really like it. One question as a German: Is the breakfast offer at IKEA written correctly? Is it really "Kaiserbroodje" in Dutch (Kaiser is the German word for emperor) or should it be "Keizerbroodje".
+Gerd Papenburg hmm - good question 🤔🤔 think keizerbroodje would be the Dutch translation :)
Great you came over by the way 😀😀
Doesn't really matter in the case of this bun.
Food is expensive there! Those foods you showed are just snacks for me. ^_^
Haha, it is? I would say it's even a pretty big breakfast, more than I'd eat at home ;) think it's just what you compare it too - but food isn't cheap for sure :)
Ha gezellig daar moet ik eens heen bij de bieb :-)
:D
What would be the time limit for breakfast at the library
Although it is only 1.5 euros, i think i might spend more than 10 because of how good the food is :)
😁😁
I'm booking a Grandma Gretl Budget breakfast tour :D. Great vid. #ballersonabudget
Hahahaha, Grandma Gretl says thanx :D
and how is it on the winter ? is it possible to go outside from the rooftop?
Not sure! I suspect so :)
Great tips Gretl, we say I-KEA in Australia. Where is the Bibliotheek located in Amsterdam alsjeblieft.
Next to central station! Just google OBA Amsterdam :)
Dankjewel :)
Great & nice tips, whats the address of the Foodmarkt.?
Gedempt Hamerkanaal 223 - it's up north, so you need to take the ferry (the one mostly on the right) and then it's a few minutes by bike or a bit longer hiking.
Thank you for your explanation miss...very helpful...The ferry is on the right side near public library.?
TIP! If you would like to discover the culture through delisious food there is also a free food tour in Amsterdam that is tip based every morning from 10:30 am from Dam Square.👍
Cool! What's the name of it..?
I like your wallet can you tell me what store you got it from please I will by in the Netherlands in January many thanks
Hahaha, I loooove this video :) You are super funny :) This is crazy what you can get for such little money... Puh, Usually you pay 3 eur for just a coffee... This is ridiculous!! Perfect tipp :)
Thanx :D haha, it is. Imagine at the Amstel Hotel a breakfast costs 36 euro's.......
Oh boy... Yeah, crazy difference..
;) And I would love to know if you didn't know the prices of any of the two, what you would give the both of them ;)
Ah, that would be interesting I guess... :)
this was so cool. will come in handy when I visit. would you guys come along? :)
We are unable to do that for every one who asks after seeing the vids unfortunately :) But I hope the vids help enough to have a good time :D
I'm sure :). thanks!
What's the name and address of this library? I've never been there.
Does it involve taking the ferry behind Centraal Station?
Is there a website where I could view the hours?
BTW, what's available? Eggs, cheese, bread?...
+David B it's the 'oba' - if you google oba amsterdam you'll find it! It is close to central station, but not on the ferry side.
Bread, yoghurt, eggs, juice... it's all available 😊😊
Oh... Now I see the nice Google map you prepared with the locations under "show more".
For whatever reason, I have found the area just east of the Centraal Station to be a little confusing.
(Thought not as confusing as parts of the Old South with it maze of residential streets.)
Any tips? The library seems like a real find and I'd like to visit it next time!
P.S. Are you Dutch? I think so but didn't realized Gretl was a Dutch name.
+David B I am Dutch - but my name is Grietje :) travel Gretl is a mess up of that 4 youtube.
I am not sure what you ask tips for - the central station area? :)
Grietje, I was just saying that I see the library on the map but the walk there from
Centraal Station seems a bit confusing. It's one of the few parts of Amsterdam I haven't explored.
Ah :) Yeah, it is.
I like the way you say EEKEA, in America we say it I as in I - KEA
Hahaha, I say it like the Dutch do. It's quite complicated really:
We pronounce the I as EE
The EE like AA
And the AA like something you don't have ;)
I bet, I'll be travelling to Amsterdam next month, your video was quite helpful. In America we'd normally eat oat meal or grits or pancakes along with eggs may be some steak too for break fast (That's why we are known as fat Americans) but looking forward to try the Dutch breakfast, looks very light and not much protein.May be I need to eat 2 breakfast since I'll be exploring Amsterdam on foot.
You won't get a bike?! It's the ultimate Amsterdam experience ;) And all the local will drive miles around you with their bikes, since they know tourists on bikes are chaos, and they don't want to kill anyone ;)
I guess in hotels they serve American breakfast many times. Think the Dutch food culture is not shockingly amazing to be honest. But there are some sweets to be tried :D
Oh yeah totally, will get a bike, come on now in America we do ride bikes all the time :P Nah I'm not gonna be one of those picky Americans who'd only eat "AMERICAN BREAKFAST" I'd rather love to try varieties. It's not everyday you get to eat croissants with jam haha. Since you're a local what kinds of sweet do you recommend ?
bike ultimate amsterdam experience ????
Thank you 😭😭😭
Good luck
looks really delicuous, thanks for sharing, what happend to china videos? r u going to upload more bout china?
Absolutely!! No worries there :) We have Shangri-La - Litang - Tagong - Chengdu - haha, too much to come up still :D It was just: I was editing in my room under the hot roof and I thought: why am I inside? I should go out! That's why this one came in between :) There will also be a sugary one coming up ;) After two days of food and too much sun I am a happy editing girl again!
Haha, you're too funny!
dank!! superleuk te horen dat t werkt! toch n beetje dat theater erin gezet ;)
do they always just offer croissant and marmelade?
+yungfang wu I believe so..
Croissant with Jam(Marmelade) is actually considered kind of a luxury breakfast here, that's why most of the shops serve it. Normally we just eat bread with meat, cheese or sweets ^^
You did save the best until last for sure.
😀😁
May I ask how you pronounce this in Holland "Joop" ? Is it Yupe?
No - Yupe would be Joep in Dutch. Take the 'O' like the first one in tomato. Stretch that 'O' a bit and there you have it! Don't know how else to describe it really...
Thanks, because I've heard someone pronounced it Yupe Like "U - Fe"
Also I want to promote this site where you can ask anything like Quora :) gamblingama.com/i-am-a-professional-gambling-mathematician-and-you-can-ask-me-anything-about-470755/
Im dutch. You would say something like Yo like the rappers say and then ending it with a P.
Hoop is pronounced hope with a silent e.
Breakfast at the library is no longer available at that price :(
Damn! Yeah I heard more people say so. I should check it out...
@@TravelGretl Hi I was upstairs at the top floor last week and there is no more breakfast like that, only tea/coffee, smoothee, or various dessert style cakes, the kitchen area was only preparing lunch for later in the day. Such a shame it looked cool a few years ago.
@@niknak2k665 How much is it now?
Went to the Oba library. Balcony was closed and the food was rather underwhelming and limited. And not cheap. Enjoy your videos though
Sorry to hear! Could be closed because of the winter. The food is not special perse, that's true. It's good for a cheaper breakfast, but I'd not recommend it for dinner!
is anyone allwoed to enter the library ?
Just go to a grocery store. For €5 you can get food for a couple of days.
1 Euro = 55 php for breakfast, I think I can afford that....That really shows the Dutch like you has strong bone, muscles and sharp mind to think because of the foods (specially those dairy products) you eat and drink are really nutritious...
How can the restaurant earn with a 1 euro breakfast?
Selling you things for your home afterwards ;)
Ikea is thé place where they want you to stay/shop, a whole day. I think the concept is the same where ever they are, but i;m not sure. Over here you have Nursery's, and playgrounds, where your children can play while you shop. Stop for cheap breakfast, lunch and dinner, just to make you stay and buy stuff. Going to Ikea, on the second day of Easter, is a day "out", for a lot of people, here. And on that day, the place is packed!
@Travel Gretl, hahaha! Nice business strategy :)
@Ilonka Gootjes, I can understand shopping is a woman's pasttime :)
where to get a nice big greasy breakfast on budget?
Haha, I am not sure if we have those on budget :) I heard that more often - maybe it's a good business opportunity ;)
for sure ;)
In Indonesia.. you can get 0.5$ breakfast .....😃😃🙏
Hahaha which probably tastes better than Dutch food too!!! LOL
@@TravelGretl Indonesian food always full of flavour.... Salam from Indonesia ..
Cheapest breakfast is a big yogurt by Dirk van Den Broek...
Haha, sure true!
