Interior Circa late 2014
Maria P.

We came here on the recommendation of our tour guide who said they have one of the best apple pies in town. It was within short walking distance to our hotel & we had a little bit of time before our train left. We walked into the shop and I swear -- cutest little coffee shop EVER. The vintage decor that covers Latei from every nook and cranny fit so well together and really adds to the atmosphere. They also have the cutest little black cat that was very interested in my husband.... who is highly allergic to cats, lol. Still cute. The service was friendly and quick. We ordered our apple pies for breakfast and were quickly on our way. I wish we had more time to spend here because the vibe was so chill and the seating areas were so cute upstairs and downstairs. However, we enjoyed our apple pies on our train ride to Brussels. It's been a few years, but next time we're in Amsterdam, we'll save a bit more time to hangout in this shop!

Soy latte and amazing apple pie

Cute atmosphere. Wonderful staff. Had Apple Pie and Soy Latte. Soy was unsweetened which was great. Gave me glass of water with coffee too which was nice. One of the few places in city that gave out water. Apple pie loaded with fresh apples. No sugar/junk filler. Really nice fresh texture and flavor. Free WiFi too :) A quaint stop. If you like organic, fresh, authentic places... visit here.

This is a very unique place....the environment is eclectic but the service is really nice. We ordered the goat for dinner. Like the restaurant itself, the meal was unique, with an interesting combination of lotus root and other things. While the food wasnt outstanding, we enjoyed the uniqueness of it. We also ordered a cappuccino and a decaf latte, and both were very good.

My boyfriend and I decided to give Latei a try one afternoon. We had the appeltaart at Winkel 43 and he had been craving one ever since. A quick Yelp search revealed that Latei happened to be located in the area we were roaming about, and they had the appeltaart! We were in luck! Or so we thought... It was definitely not as good. The filling had raisins in it, the crust was hard, and it didn't even taste that great overall. Maybe their other items are better, I can't speak to that. But if you want an appeltaart and you're in this area, you should just make the trek to Winkel 43.

Worth it every time

Incredibly cozy, local cafe. Don't let the location in the RLD dissuade you. Super delicious homemade food (lots of plant-based options) and great coffee. The space itself is also one of the best for meeting a small group, catching up with a friend, of just going alone to draw or do work. Lots of locals and interesting characters around Staff is incredible, helpful and cheery. Haven't visited since 4 years to find all the same charm and spirit in tact. I make it a point to stop by here every time I'm in town, glad to see them still in business. They accept chip card and cash, with free wifi. As well, all the decorations and objects you see throughout the shop are available for purchase. You will not regret stopping by

De Wallen Cute coffee place that is worth a visit when in the neighborhood. The vintage atmosphere there is very nice and the objects you see inside are for sale. Interesting lamps. They serve (good) Bocca coffee and pastries, breakfast which are home made. I know because the smell of cooking can came too strong in some moments. And if you choose a table at the upper level you could see the tarts coming out of the kitchen. Friendly staff and most of all friendly cat house.

Cute little hybrid between a cafe' and a flea market. Very close to the red light district, in the cafe' everything is for sale, from the cappuccino to the cake, through to the chairs you sit on and the lamps on the ceiling (and perhaps the waiters as well? LOL). The place is very original and the cakes were gooooooood.

Cute decor!

I lOVE LATEI's decor! So retro! So colorful! And they have a black cat, just hanging out there. It's a very fun place to have break with their coffee and some sweets. Their Dutch apple pie was OK. But they serve loose leaf tea. It was really nice. The coffee was good, too. I'd like to try their breakfast menu next time. I will go back there for sure.

Breakfast Special
Eric B.

Love this place - clearly a local joint. Reminds me of one of the first coffeeshops/Cafes I fell in love with in the US called EVP. Having the breakfast special - Cheese and tomato on a wonderful hardy bread, fresh squeezed OJ, croissant, and latte all for 9 Euros. Oh there is at least one shop cat I saw asleep on somebody's computer sleeve. There is free wifi - the service is fantastic. It appears that many of the fixtures, do dads, etc adorning the shop are for sale. This place is funky and I like it!

Good coffee in a cute, retro little cafe with a sweet little cat sleeping on the windowsill :). We stopped in on a rainy day and enjoyed two really good lattes. Perfect temperature, smooth, and no sugar necessary. Relaxing, cozy spot that's definitely worth a stop.

This is a quirky little cafe tucked into an unassuming spot on Zeedijk. With mismatched chairs, and novelties everywhere, Latei has a distinctly bohemian feel to it. Their is a black cat that wanders around, who I'm assuming from the "Elvis does not leave the building" signs, must be called Elvis. The food is simple enough, with lots of light fair and some organic offerings. I've only been for lunch, but I understand they have a dinner menu that changes all the time and I've very interested in trying it. They also offer lots of fresh pressed juices that are all very tasty! The prices are incredibly reasonable (3-5 euros for sandwiches; about the same for an omelet) and the staff is all very friendly too. This is quickly becoming one of my favorite little lunch spots.

Everything about this place was great!…read more I'll start with the service. We walked in around 4:10 and they didn't start food service for another 20 minutes. The waiter was super cool and told us to have a seat anywhere we liked and brought us a drink menu. He knew we wanted to eat so at exactly 4:30 he came and took our orders. Through out the meal he was on top of everything and even offered many suggestions! The food was spectacular as well. I had the trio of fries and my friends had other small plates that were all so good! And the sauces that come with the fries, mamma mia! We also shared the Boca's Platter and it was absolutely to die for. Do not pass this up. I repeat, do not pass this up! Between 4 people, the medium was plenty of food. The space itself was also nice. They had outdoor seating for nicer days. We went right when food service began on a Monday afternoon so can't speak to how busy it gets during peak hours. Go for the great service, go for the Boca Platter, whatever you do, just go!

Our first stop in Amsterdam for a late lunch. We ordered mushroom bruschetta, 1 medium boca…read moreplatter(meat,cheese,fish), three kinds of fries and of course STEAK TARTARE. The bruschetta was delicious and if you love blue cheese, get it...it's extremely rich and creamy. The three kinds of fries were solid; curly, sweet potato, and regular with some chili ketchups. The boca platter was HUGE and we got the medium for 4 people. Came with steak, fried shrimp, mackerel potato salad, crostini, and an assortment of cheeses and some pepperoni. Last but not least...my favorite...the tartare. The quail egg was delicately placed atop the center of the meat and placed alongside the four little crostini on the plate. It was juicy and had so much flavor, a little spicy but not an overwhelming amount of chili spice. This meal reminded me of tapas in Madrid; definitely stop by bocas and get everything!
