Since opening in 2022, Spiers, marked by its distinctive crocodile logo, has swiftly become a neighborhood favorite. It’s no surprise, given its diverse offerings of snacks, groceries, and vegetarian and vegan dishes, all served in a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. The recent renovations have transformed the original space into a warm, welcoming environment featuring a modern deli counter. Whether shopping for a picnic or supper, grabbing a quick refreshment, enjoying a swift meal, or settling in for a longer visit, Spiers is a friendly spot to relax and unwind. Founded by Jacob, an Amsterdam native with a passion for French and Mediterranean flavors, Spiers also reflects his Dutch heritage. This is evident in the products on tall shelves, showcasing a mix of Amsterdam-based startups alongside local regional brands, such as nut-based treats from Cravers. If you need a caffeine fix, Spiers serves expertly brewed specialty coffee with beans from the roastery Vote.
There’s also a wide selection of chilled drinks, from local favorites like Roy Kombucha to high-end juices and bubbly bottles for your celebratory moments. The menu features staples such as sweet and hearty scones, seasonal soups like gazpacho, and refreshing salads, including a pearl couscous salad with almonds, pomegranate seeds, fresh herbs, and orange vinaigrette. A real gem on the menu is the quiche (made with Gouda, of course), based on a recipe created by Jacob’s mom in Zwolle in 1994. Good food is a family affair, and now you’re invited to enjoy Spiers’ delicious offerings. So, see you in a while, crocodile?
