This trendy coffee cafe, with a retro home-décor, hardwood floors and cute green walls is located near Spiegelgracht. A great place for a coffee break before/after visiting the Rijksmuseum or some vintage and antique shopping on Nieuwe Spiegelstraat. If you have a (business) date or just want a different spot for working remotely, it’s a great choice too. It’s also conveniently close to the end of our Pijp Discovery Game.

Neighbourhood: Centre/De Pijp

This cafe is a go-to option for art lovers, digital nomads and entrepreneurs seeking a spot to have coffee meeting. At the same time, it’s equally great for those who are particular about their coffee beans brew! It’s in Overhoeksplein in Amsterdam North (a free ferry takes you there), right next to the EYE Film Museum, so why not combine your coffee with a movie?

Neighbourhood: North

If you’re around Amsterdam East, head to the Pretoriusstraat for a cup of coffee and a tasty muffin at Rum BaBa. We love their decoration and the staff there is always smiling!
