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.

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!

Fun people watching if you can snag an outside table. There's a lot of inside seating as well, but it does get very popular. The crowd quiets down in the early afternoon.

We ordered a Negroni and a limoncello spritz, enjoyed them, and then went for a walk among the lights of the early night. Cool concept of a place, cafe by day and bar by night---great use of the space.

We went on a weekend when they exclusively serve their famous apple pie, and while the lines can get pretty long, ours actually moved very quickly. The setup is a bit of a hustle: you order at the counter, pay, and then have to hunt for a table (they have seating indoors and outdoors) while balancing your food. Finding an open spot can definitely be a challenge, but we got incredibly lucky and snagged a seat at a communal table right as our plates were handed to us. Logistics aside, the pie is entirely worth it. It's honestly one of the best I've ever had. The crust is beautifully buttery and crumbly, and the warm apples have the absolute perfect texture--a brilliant balance of sweet and tart. It's not overly sweet on its own, but with a generous mountain of whipped cream and a hot coffee, it made for a wonderfully rich afternoon snack. I know a lot of people rave about their chocolate milk too, but the coffee pairing was exactly what we needed. Highly recommend braving the line for this!
