Aww I love this lounge - it's normally quiet (and after the weekends we spend in Utrecht) a lovely oasis before the final knockings of a non stop 40+hours.
If you can find them, you should try the circular 'sultana sponge cakes' quite sweet and dry but lovely dunked in coffee !
I agree with the schlep to the gates - way too long, and the security screening is in a typically inconvenient place - must cost AMS a fortune to run all those machines !!!
