Great place along the Amstel river on the Weesperzijde side. Possibly my favourite place for coffee (either take-out stroling along the Amstel river or inside with a lovely piece of apple pie).
It has a great terrace along the Amstel (during the summer, in wintertime it closed and during Christmas time there is a huge Christmas tree filling up the terrace), but also inside there is plenty of seating. Enjoy your coffee, breakfast, lunch or dinner here anytime!
