“ We found it by chance because all of the recommended eateries were extremely crowded. It is the he best place for breakfast and brunch in Tanah Rata. The ambience is nice and hearty. Perfect place for those who don’t fancy lining up and waiting for seat to eat because you know during holiday seasons Cameron Highlands is very congested and packed with bountiful tourists. ”
“ What a charming little cafe tucked on the highland! Delightful array of food and drink choices to be enjoyed in a European setting. There's even a corner for reading books! The menu offered both western and local dishes meant for breakfast lunch and dinner. We truly enjoyed the Farmer's Meal and the chicken sandwich. The salad is fresh and crisp. Even my kids who normally refuse veggies cant resist the salad. We also had a cup of cappucino, caramel macchiato and marshmallow chocolate..we have no complaints..must come back for a visit soon! Thank you Amsterdam Cafe for the warm hospitality! ”
“ Very friendly staff happy to help. I had the honey pancakes and chocolate roll (croissant) with an iced latte. I was a big fan of this the drink was amazing. I would recommend this cute little cafe! An adorable ginger cat made an appearance too while I was there they were also selling bags of fresh tomatoes. My friend had the eggs Benedict, I would point out that the eggs were still bit wet - I have noticed that at a few cafes here. I personally don’t mind this but if you do just ask for your eggs well done. ”

Their scones are nice,buttery, and served with just the right amount of jam, butter and cream.
