Clarification: Coffee Shops vs. Cafés in Amsterdam

In Amsterdam, "coffee shops" (or coffeeshops) typically refer to licensed cannabis cafés where you can purchase and consume marijuana products—it's a uniquely Dutch thing! However, based on common searches and global traveler lingo, most people asking this mean cozy cafés serving great espresso, lattes, and pastries. If you're after cannabis spots, let me know for a separate guide. For now, here's a curated list of the top 10 specialty coffee cafés in Amsterdam as of 2025, drawn from recent reviews, roaster spotlights, and local vibes. These focus on high-quality beans, sustainable sourcing, and chill atmospheres—perfect for canal-side people-watching.

I've prioritized places with single-origin brews, ethical roasting, and that signature Amsterdam hygge. Many are walkable from the center; expect €3–6 for a flat white.

Café Name Neighborhood Why It's Great Must-Try Drink Address

Scandinavian Embassy

De Pijp

Cozy Nordic vibes with in-house roasting; airy space with plants and communal tables. Third-wave pioneer since 2010.

Single-origin filter (e.g., Ethiopian Yirgacheffe for fruity notes).

Bocca Coffee Roasters

De Pijp

Bustling spot from one of Amsterdam's top roasters; light roasts highlight bean origins. Great for workshops.

Tiny, no-frills gem near the center; expert baristas and takeaway-friendly. Locals swear by the pour-overs.

House flat white with their custom blend.

Rozengracht 69, 1016 LT

Haku Coffee

West

Sleek showroom-café hybrid; precise extractions and seasonal lots. Ideal for coffee nerds.

V60 pour-over from rotating global roasters.

Van der Helstplein 10H, 1072 PH

Neighborhood fave at the Ten Kate market; epic pastries pair with flawless brews. Run by a passionate local.

Claude Debussylaan 269, 1082 MA

These picks blend timeless classics with 2025 newcomers, emphasizing light roasts and direct-trade beans—Amsterdam's scene is all about that "back to black" purity. Pro tip: Download the city's bike app (OV-fiets) to hop between them—most are 10–15 minutes apart. If you're into cannabis cafés instead (e.g., Boerejongens for premium strains), the top ones include Boerejongens, Dampkring, and Grey Area for that elevated experience. What's your vibe—strong espresso or something sweeter?
