Caffènation is your new place to be in Amsterdam if you are in need of a good flat white or any…read moreother cup of coffee. 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!

We stopped by here for the drip coffee and a hibiscus ginger tea. The manager here talked about how…read morethe coffee was sourced from Brazil. Staff were friendly and helpful. 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 only tips I have is to be more inviting to people that come in. I was seated for more then 20 min and no one took my order. I had to walk to the bar to order my drink. Overall a nice and chill place. Would definitly go again!

Coffee, and tea served with windmill cookies that far superior to even the best store bought windmill cookie. Ollie Bol, a doughnut type pastry (no hole) was egg-y, fluffy and doughy, and delicious. The cookies are big, fresh, and taste like all ingredients in the cookie not just sugar. The chocolate chip cookies stay in my dreams. I have not tried the loaf breads but they look wonderful. The gorgonzola cheese and fig jam sandwich on spelt baguette was interesting pairing and enjoyable. The spelt baguette was the best--crunchy outside, soft inside very flavorful (unlike spelt products I've had in the States). Le Perron on Middenweg has been my morning go to spot while in Amsterdam. Fyi...this bakery cafe far exceeds Le Pain Quotidien and shames Le Madeleine versions that exist in the States.
