Ordered two prerolled joints, which were a bit flimsy, although, very well priced, and very good weed. Living in California, I wanted to make sure I did some research on the best spot in Amsterdam. Very nice workers, and very cozy inside with nice music. I recommend it!

Grand Café Mahler is located at the bottom of the Deloitte Amsterdam building. I gotta say,…read morealthough a bit pricy, the food is impressive. I got a glass of orange juice and the carpaccio salad. The carpaccio was more like roast beef, but it was really nice and the dressing was a light balsamic glaze. I am very picky with my salads, but it is probably the best I've had in a while while living in the Netherlands (not many salad options here). My salad and orange juice was 15 euros, pretty expensive so not something you can do everyday, but when the weather is nice, sitting on a terrace is worth the extra cost. Definitely recommended!

Very nice quiet bar, great ambience. Loved my espresso - great quality (robust and full flavor)…read more Not to mention there are not many other options around but regardless this is a great shop to read a book or relax.

Welcoming vibe with plenty of seating in a big U shape around the coffee counter. A separate laptop area is also designated in the back but not enforced. Groups of students gathered here to chat, friends met up to catch up, families congregated to rest amidst their adventures, a some people like us stopped to read and people watch. Our beverages were piping hot and delicious. While here we heard several different languages spoken, including Spanish. We stayed until closing, at which time the manager offered us a cup of coffee to go. Wonderful way to avoid waste and make customers feel special. It was a nice way to stay warm a bit longer. Highly recommend!

The cafe recently opened near the Hoofddorplein and is already getting very popular with the locals. I totally get why, since Bert makes a delicious coffee and is also a very cool guy who is in for a little chat. The good reputation of their Antwerp location also does not hurt at all. Antwerp location? Well yes, Caffènation is a much loved coffeeshop in Antwerp. We are very lucky that Bert fell in serious love with a Dutch girl because that is what brought him here! And now he owns the Caffènation location here in Ansterdam. Cool stuff right? Coffee lovers will really enjoy the big drinks menu at this place which offers a lot of different choices like cappuccino and espresso but also more adventurous drinks like a 'Ginger Spice' or a 'Bitter Moon'. Last few times I went with a flat white (like usual, they are my favorite!) and that tasted great. The space is quite big and has a lot of cosy spots to sit. You can even come over with a group of friends since in the downstairs area are a lot of seats. Great right?! Not so crowded like most city center spots and a way nicer and more personal vibe. I can imagine this place would do great for working or studying as well. Just go soon because i'm sure this place be discovered by the big crowds soon!

It was quite crowded when I arrived but I was still able to find a seat in the lower level for my laptop and I. The music was a little loud for my taste, but I popped in my headphones which helped. I first ordered an iced cappuccino, which tasted great, but the serving glass was very small, so I ended up ordering another drink, the cappuccino caramel crumble, which came with a lot of sweet cream and chocolate chips on top! Friendly service and free wifi, but I don't think I would come back to study. Note: they do not accept Visa!

I find them the best of the bagels I tried in Amsterdam. My recommendations for Bagels and Beans: - Match Latte, if you don't like the taste insist a bit, you will come to love it, as I did. - BLT with sesame bread (bacon, tomatoes, cucumbers, pine seeds, sauces)- delicious!!! - if you are not very pretentious about your coffee (I know I am) then you can try their cappucino Enjoy!

Once this Bagels and Beans opened we started coming here nearly every Saturday. The wait staff is fantastic (a special mention goes to Deti who is fabulous) and the owners are terrific. They care about where their products come from and what the ingredients are. The tapas is amazing and you can get it vegan. They just started carrying vegan cream cheese and you MUST MUST try their vegan pecan pie. Our non-vegan friends and co-workers cannot stop eating it as well. Remember to "skip the straw" to save marine life and the environment.

The croissants were the best I've ever had in my life and we just returned from Paris. I'm sure there is better out there, but this is the best I've had! I had a breakfast sandwich on croissant with eggs, ham, and Hollandaise sauce that was also VERY delicious. Makes sense that hollandaise sauce is good in Holland! The coffee was decent, but I prefer BLCK that is across the street. The ambiance here can't be beat though! Come sit, relax, and enjoy this wonderful cafe we found!!!
