An undiscovered gem of a coffee house, situated on a quieter end of the east side of Amsterdam. Talk about good price but high quality. Providing sweet indulgence pastries and the best personal blends of tea and Italian quality coffee. Offers custom made pastries, breakfast and lunch.

Coffee, and tea served with windmill cookies that far superior to even the best store bought windmill cookie. Ollie Bol, a doughnut type pastry (no hole) was egg-y, fluffy and doughy, and delicious. The cookies are big, fresh, and taste like all ingredients in the cookie not just sugar. The chocolate chip cookies stay in my dreams. I have not tried the loaf breads but they look wonderful. The gorgonzola cheese and fig jam sandwich on spelt baguette was interesting pairing and enjoyable. The spelt baguette was the best--crunchy outside, soft inside very flavorful (unlike spelt products I've had in the States). Le Perron on Middenweg has been my morning go to spot while in Amsterdam. Fyi...this bakery cafe far exceeds Le Pain Quotidien and shames Le Madeleine versions that exist in the States.

There are not that many tables and I only saw one outlet, so it's not good for sitting and working with your laptop, but it doesn't seem built for that. It really seems to be a place to meet friends for 'koffie en kletzen'. The downstairs area is cozy and makes you feel like you're in a private hideaway. There is a decent amount of outdoor seating as well, even in chilly weather, for those who want to enjoy the great Amsterdam outdoors and tram 10 that passes by a few feet away on the street. The service is friendly, and the coffee is good. I didn't try any of the food because it was all gluten-centric, but it looks good. This isn't as much of a breakfast place as a 'cake and coffee' place, which fits in with the chatting with friends theme. They have artisanal light bulb lighting, mellow music on the speakers, signs with platitudes on the walls, lots of pillows, and candles, what else could you want for getting together with someone and chatting.

All afternoon there were only one or two other people sitting in the cafe and everyone else who filtered through was getting stuff for pick up or take away. The staff was pretty laid back, and they made the food relatively quickly. I ordered a B.L.A.T. (bacon lettuce avocado tomato) on a roll of my choice, and that was well balanced and well put together. It looked so good my 2 year old grabbed my sandwich for herself halfway through. My 2 year old demolished a few of their croissants, leaving a big mess, so I take it they were good. I later had a "rice slice", which is a rice krispie treat which has been defiled with raisins and orange pieces. In my book that is blasphemous, because it disturbs the homeostatic enjoyment of a solid layer of rice krispies, butter and marshmallow. But I guess that is the style around here. They offer free babyccinos (soy milk, flavored syrup and foamed milk on top), so I ordered one for my daughter to go along with my cappuccino. It was very cute, but my daughter did not like it at all. Oh well, at least it was free. My cappuccino was good, but I was surprised it didn't come with a packet of sugar or a cookie or a piece of chocolate or anything. I later had a large mokka, and that had a pleasant amount of sweetness, with real chocolate chunks swimming around at the bottom. Overall I would come back here again for a gezellig snack or coffee. The music was good, the staff didn't care if you stayed or went, or if your 2 year old dances around, and the food and drinks are good. There is not much in terms of seating, but if you can come when it's semi-empty, it's a chill place to sit and watch the trams and bicycles and the rest of the world go by.

It's a very small shop on a very busy street so it would be easy enough to miss. That would be a mistake. You'll want to ask for the Eberhardjes cookies.

Named for the late mayor, they're delicious and perfect to bring home because of the "XXX" baked into them, the symbol of the city.
