01

An Amsterdam specialty coffee roaster founded in 2017 under the motto "Life is too short for bad coffee," with a relaxed, urban-chic vibe and outdoor seating. The roaster-run cafe is known for house-roasted beans pulled into expertly made espresso drinks and filter coffee, plus brunch plates and pastries, and it doubles as an easygoing spot to work.

02

A specialty coffee roaster and café in Amsterdam's Oud West, near Vondelpark, founded in 2018 and known for seasonal single-origin coffees with close ties to the growers. The light-filled space pairs excellent coffee and signature drinks with a small menu built around artisan local producers, plus a newer bar across the street that adds weekend dinner service.

03

A historic Vondelpark pavilion reimagined by Studio Modijefsky. Velvet arches and mirrors below, a glossy purple bar above, and a coral-toned winter garden leading to one of Amsterdam's largest terraces. Two levels outside—relaxed park seating below, polished dining with tree views above. A place that works from morning coffee to late dinner.

Great bakes and crisp coffee. Efficient team; ask about limited pastries. Best early; by 11 it lines up.

05

Bright, friendly, and relaxed. Good coffee, fresh bakes, and a few books to browse. Best late morning; weekends get a short line.
