Tjommies is an amazing new cafe in Amersfoort, where you can find phenomenal lunches (try the Tjommies tosti with bobotie) and a variety of beer matched only by cafes in Amsterdam. The Tjommies Rooibos Saison which was brewed for them specially is delicious. The bar is filled with plants, arts, and beautiful African and Arabic details. The music is always on point, and the staff is friendly and extremely professional! Cannot recommend Tjommies more!

Perfect Beer, friendly guys and good prices. Our glasses weren't empty longer than a minute :) Next time I will be in Amersfoort we will meet again!

This relatively new bar is a real gem in the center of Amersfoort. The owner has real passion for what he offers here and it shows in everything. Down to the triple beer he sources from Amsterdam to the South African inspired food. The food is great and can take long to arrive but this is testament to the care and passion that goes into it. Portions are also very generous and the Create Your Own Sandwich concept is not new anymore but picking ingredients and having them make a sandwich out of it is both daring as well as brilliant. They got great beers on tap and in a little fridge and if you ask for a recommendation you will get good honest advice.

Excellent choice of beers on tap, even one of their own (apart from the lager maybe, the Kornuit's bit bland), good snacks and sandwiches & a nice vibe. Most of the punters fall in the creative/millennial category, but don't let that put you off. They're relaxed and friendly and it's perfectly alright to show up as an old geezer and a five year old after a visit to the Saturday market on the Hof. It's what we do and we always feel very welcome. Available board games & best sunshine in central Amersfoort from 11 to 14 big bonus.

I went to Tjommies for the Expats Amersfoort monthly meetup. The guys were very friendly and opened taps for each one of us to be easier with payment. The decoration felt more like home and I loved the view from the canal. I have fond memories from the place and I will come back again.
