What I love most of the time about Starbucks is their atmosphere. I always feel at ease with their…read moremusic playing in the background. I love sitting down in one of their bulky chairs with an interesting book and relaxing with a big cup of chamomile tea. I was even successful to get my Dutch man hooked on Starbucks Coffee. All he drank was illy Coffee, until he met me. He stated Starbucks Coffee was overrated. So, I thought that I would prove him wrong, by buying him a bag of Italian Coffee. After that he was obsessed with Starbucks coffee, he no longer cried out for his European lattes. He soon craved every morning the regular taste of an American latte. Starbucks is good, however on the other hand, expensive but well worth every taste.I guess you pay for what you get! Starbucks Coffee Company continues to lead in brand of distinctive coffee on a global level. It's so refreshing to know if your in LA, Tokyo, Amsterdam or any major cosmopolitan city in the world that you always have access to them. Thank you so much for making my Starbucks experience always a pleasure. Happy Customer

This Starbucks is one of the bigger NS station locations, but it's always busy thanks to…read moreSloterdijk's position as a train and bus hub. It's a good place to stop in for a coffee on your way too or from work, but because it's really busy with people waiting for trains and busses (Sloterdijk is the hub for some low cost European bus lines) it's not a great place to come and camp out with your laptop to get some work done.

This is by far my best coffee shop find ever…read more The locals here were impeccable and so too is the staff. They just let me blaze and blaze here. Vision, Grey Haze and Éxodos Cheese are some of the best things you can find here. A truly remarkable place. Thanks what an amazing experience! The ambiance is fantastic too. Amazing stickers everywhere.

Just don't travel back to Paris on the train with any. The dogs will get you. And if Snoop and Willie have bellied up you know it's the spot.

So its exactly as the name would suggest. They do bagels and they do beans. Quite well too, I might…read moreadd. Decent prices, good staff, and delicious bagels, I can't fault the food at all. I didn't realise this place is actually a chain, but I guess this just means you're more likely to find a bagels and beans in close proximity when the hunger pangs hit. The ingredients are simple and it has a very relaxed atmosphere, I'd liken this almost to a Starbucks but with way better food. Feel free to bring you're laptop to do work, bring the kids while you have a catch up with friends (its quite child friendly, small play area included) or just sit and slam down a bagel before checking out the sights.

It seems pretty popular but you can still find a place to sit at and hand out. Looks kid and pet friendly as I saw people bring both to the shop. They have a variety of drinks both espresso and teas. I really liked how they also had a no sugar fig and date bread as well. I would say the cappuccino isn't really to my taste, but that's personal preference.

Personally I thought it was small for the price but the sizing was pretty standard compared to other places I went to. The banana bread was good. I came in to do a little reading and I loved the interior. It's a lovely space to get work done or catch up with a friend. Free wifi, lots of seating, and a wonderful ambiance. There are different levels inside which make each area feel separate and more private. The baristas were nice, and make some fantastic coffee. This is the type of spot I'd go to all the time if I could, definitely recommend.

Because seriously, who doesn't want to quench their Amsterdam thirst before sipping on some very fine Espresso? I venture here mostly when the Neighborhood market is going on, which means throngs of locals, their kids, and possibly, their touristy friends, all looking to get some really good coffee without breaking the bank. There is usually a long line out the door...in today's case it took me about 10 minutes before I could even place an order. Oh, and the guy who took the order - total nice guy with a nice smile. The menu is really small - it's mostly a lot of coffees with some teas for people who like to drink teas at places with names that begin with 'Espresso' and some sweet stuff to go with said drinks. The ovens were working overtime, one batch after another in quick succession. Those fresh muffins will keep calling your name until you cave in and eat one. The apple pie actually had smoke erupting out of it, it was so fresh. I dig the espresso here...it's sort of pricey at €2 for a small, considering that one is never enough. The taste - oh so good! Did I mention free tap water and easy payment?

While aimlessly riding my bike around the west end, I stumbled upon Espressofabriek in an old…read morefactory building next to Westerpark, similar to Toronto's Distillery District. What luck, because I had actually stared at Google Maps for longer than I care to admit to find this place and lo and behold, I just rolled up to its patio area by sheer coincidence. (It's really not that hard to find. It's next to Ketelhuis.) I got an espresso for sitting at a sunny picnic bench outside while an electronica music festival beeped and buzzed in the park. The espresso was one of the best ones I've had in Amsterdam and if I had any space in my stomach, I would have gone for some of the intriguing little pastries they had on display.
