Jesse's Tips · Coffee & Cake
Where to sit quietly, drink good coffee, and let Amsterdam drift by.
On one of the city's most picturesque canal corners — Prinsengracht, right in the Jordaan. Dark wood, Delft tiles, a wood stove, beer since 1642. The homemade apple pie is among the best in Amsterdam.
This small café hides behind the Oude Kerk — a quiet corner right in the center, homemade cake, warm light, and the feeling of sitting in someone's living room.
Set inside Vondelpark — perfect for a summer evening on the terrace overlooking the park, with a cold beer or a small snack.
The former lock-keeper's cottage on the Nieuwendammerdijk — charming, right on the water, freshly poured beer, typical Dutch snacks, and a complete absence of hustle.
Less than 10 minutes from the bike shop — excellent coffee, tasty pastries, and a relaxed atmosphere. Ideal for anyone who likes to start the morning slowly before the tour begins.
Good coffee and excellent savory Greek pies — perfect for a small pick-me-up before exploring the Jewish Quarter or the Botanical Garden.
