    This coffee shop (and I mean real coffee shop) came recommended by my tour guide for a quick cup. I walked in frozen and requested an espresso macchiato and raspberry muffin. They were both top quality! There's a splattering of seating, which is nice. It's a small shop but a good one. And it's right next to a cheese shop! Perfect. An ideal place to warm up for sure.

    Well I wouldn't say I'm a coffee snob or an expert or anything like that, but I do like what I like. It was hard to find good coffee in Amsterdam (cold brew, iced coffee without being blended and whipped cream), and Il Momento became our go-to spot. For me, the iced latte (soy) and for him, the flat white. We looked forward to our little homebase like homing pigeons. The first day, we asked for a breakfast recommendation and the barista recommended Greenwoods which was a great tip! We returned a few times and enjoyed our drinks each time. It's small inside but it's a nice spot to take a stroll, and there is a bench outside with a few little tables or milk crates to sit at.

    If you are a coffee junky like me, and happen to be roaming in Amsterdam, then you must visit this joint! In the heart of city, you can easily go pass it while you visit Anne Frank or just walking in main shopping area. Good well extracted coffee, decent setting if you wana sit in, and friendly staff!

    Located in between the Jordaan area and Central Amsterdam, this cafe serves excellent espresso drinks. This was one of our favorite spots to grab a cappuccino, and rest our feet as we sat on a bench outside in the sunshine. It's a great spot to relax and admire the beautiful architecture and to people watch.

    Just met the owner of this brand new coffee shop. He's really excited to talk about coffee - roasting green beans, who is roasting in Amsterdam, how the coffee culture is evolving here. The shop has a very cool vibe bothered a lot of reclaimed/salvaged heavy iron and warm wood. A massive shiny silver rocket shaped espresso machine sits near the front of the bar, overlooking the windows and the canal beyond. Coming soon is a small roaster right in shop! I had two good cups of espresso with different house roasted beans. Both pretty killer. Price was spot on too - 2€ for the first, just 1€ for the next. In addition to coffee and pastry there's everything else you might want - a bunch of roasts of beans, lots of coffee making supplies. Sounds like business is good; they're already converted enough customers from buy ground beans to grinding their own hat they're already run out of Hario burr grinders! I'll be back tomorrow for pour over.

    Cafe Il Momento is a nice coffee bar at the Singel, close to Central Station. It is a great spot for a quick coffee. The flat Whites are really good and come with a little piece of 'stroopwafel' (Dutch waffle cookie with caramel). They sell small pastries as well, quite a selection! Also croissants. There is not a menu on the wall but you can ask. A flat white will cost you 3,50, so not cheap but it tasted great. It is not really a great spot if you want to sit down for a long time since the stools are not really that comfortable but it is good for a little break between shopping. The owner is a friendly guy who will be happy to help you. They opened about 9 months ago and I think they are here to stay, it was pretty busy all the time but of course the location is good as well. I loved the industrial look of they with the bare brick wall. Also like that they sell some coffee things like books, mugs and French presses and such,

    Went back, five years later, and it was a great as we remembered. Wonderful, friendly service to boot.

    Even nice for tea.

    Very nice vibe, great location when you want a break from then tourist crowds. Coffee is ok, a bit bunrnt and not as smooth as for example Bruno's.

    Everything about this tiny cafe is whimsical and a bit dreamy. If Dutch faeries sipped afternoon…read moreorganic tea, I'd expect to find them here. Which makes me wonder... do faeries claim nationalities? I hope not. There's a minuscule indoor seating area, but come spring and summer - as long as it's not raining - you'll want to move on back to the very leafy and verdant outdoor terrace. If you're lucky, the one table that gives you rain protection but is still technically outdoors will be available. I was lucky. And it did sprinkle while I was there. I can't speak to the food. I only had fresh mint tea, served with honey and a teensy cookie. Let me tell ya... it was the day after Amsterdam's hottest day in recorded history and the entire city was just tuckered out. Feeble even. That's why I asked for ice and made my hot tea into an iced mint tea. Re-freshing! The menu offerings are limited but apparently satisfying judging from my dining companions' happy faces. The two women caring for us were terrific about setting the friendly tone. Recommend exploring around this charming spot on Utrechtsestraat for clothing and specialty shops and other highly rated eateries, including some Michelin-rated.

    Great relaxing atmosphere! Delicious food and friendly cat :) Sesame bagel sandwich (avocado, cream…read morecheese) and strawberry mint oj highly recommend!

    just how good can a cookie be? and they only sell one type…read moreof cookie? and there's always a queue out through the door? having not been back to amsterdam for years, i decided to brave a trip there to find out since it came highly recommended by folks in sg and was also confirmed to be good by my dutch yelper(ex) friend, kim! easily accessible location, guided there by friendly local, only threatening skies and a feeble rain dampened the mood slightly on our walk there. nonetheless, spotting a not so long queue strengthened our spirit and lengthened our strides. the queue was also pretty quick with many friendly counter staff waiting to greet and meet you! in any case, the only real decision you need to make is how many piece(s) you would like to have! and then how you want it packed? i merely chose the max number that the pretty tin box can fit, easy, peasy. easy reheating instruction was also included. then just pay and go or have one cookie on the spot? it will definitely hit the spot! even though the cookies have travelled with me half the world for more than half a day, a quick pop in the oven brought it back to glory. even crispier on the outside and yet still as moist and baby soft within! one bite and you will be convinced to traverse back there again! although i still cannot pronounce your name, what i can is remember your game!

    Amazing flavor cookie shop. It has an amazing chocolatey outside with a melting gooey white…read morechocolate inside. Every bite is delicious and unforgettable. I wish I bought some to bring back to NYC. Will definitely try to make dupes of these delicious gooey soft cookies. Service is fast, grab and go. They fill your order while you're paying. Inside is very factory like. Line to order and grab and go. But I loved watching them making the cookies through the windows. Very cute experience and cookies were delicious.
