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!

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!

Friendly service and free wifi, but I don't think I would come back to study. Note: they do not accept Visa!

Update: From January 2017, the people who run this place have pulled out of the 'Coffee United'-franchise, and now run it as an independent coffee-bar called 'Maling'. My recommendation still stands!

My wife and I split a small cup, and if we were not going to a party afterwards we would have bought a couple pints to take home.... Can't wait to go back.
