Best coffee spots in Amsterdam

01

Screaming Beans

Third-wave coffee perfection in the Haarlemmerstraat area. Their pour-overs are meticulously brewed and the space is cozy without being cramped. The avocado toast is legit too.

02

Lot Sixty One

A tiny, no-nonsense specialty coffee roaster in the Jordaan. The baristas take their craft seriously — the flat white is textbook perfect. Standing room mostly, so grab and walk.

03

De Wasserette

A neighbourhood cafe in a converted laundromat in East Amsterdam. All-day brunch, great coffee, and a laidback local crowd. The French toast with seasonal fruit is outstanding.

04

Back to Black

Specialty coffee with a dark, moody aesthetic near the Jordaan. Their cold brew is probably the best in Amsterdam, and the cinnamon rolls are baked fresh. Small space, big flavour.

05

Café George

An elegant grand café overlooking the Amstel river with high ceilings and big windows. It's where Amsterdam's fashionable crowd brunches — the eggs Benedict and the coffee are both excellent.

06

Monks Coffee Roasters

An Australian-run specialty roaster in De Pijp. The beans are roasted on-site, the flat whites are excellent, and the toasties are the best in the neighbourhood. Laptop-friendly with good WiFi.

07

Café Winkel 43

Famous for having Amsterdam's best apple pie — massive slices with a mountain of whipped cream. The coffee is solid, the terrace overlooks the Noordermarkt, and Saturday mornings here are iconic.

08

Espressofabriek

In a beautifully industrial space in Westergas, this roastery-cafe does superb single origins. Sit outside in the park on sunny days. It's a proper coffee geek destination.
