The CC chain has taken over Amsterdam, and can be found in many areas. Each CC has its own flavour. And yes, the one on the van Woustraat is the CC where they seem to take lots of initiatives to attract visitors. Concerts and exhibition regularly pop up.
Expressos are ok, but not in my top 3 for amsterdam. However, that is a matter of taste.
Food next to the teller seems to be refreshed only in the morning. If you plan to eat something, check out how fresh it is. Staff behind the counter are very friendly and helpful.
You will see lots of locals grabbing a coffee and reading a newspaper. It has become a social hub for the neighbourhood.
Only card-payment accepted. Any buy grants you free wifi for a limited time.
Tips:
- If you like their coffees, get a "strippenkaart". This is like a prepaid coffee card, that gets stamped for each coffee you buy. It gives a nice discount.
- For lunch, best to go across the road to the Stach shop. They have a better selection. read more
