I had the LATTE and a CROISSANT with jam--something I'd never tried before, but it was absolutely delightful! A perfect way to start the morning. ENJOY! PS: Very very very random. I liked the lids of their takeaway cups. :P

I got an espresso. It was a single origin from Peru…read more It was on the lighter side in terms of crema and body and was very well executed. I tasted notes of citrus and a slightly bitter but pleasant aftertaste, likely the " hops" from the tasting notes.

Excellent coffee and friendly employees. I ordered a latte (with soy milk) here and sat at the big…read moretable where there were a couple seats left. The coffee came out hot and perfectly foamed. The mugs are super cute. The loaf cake was also delicious and paired well with my coffee. The space can be a little cramped, but if you're lucky enough to snag a seat it's quite peaceful inside.

Nice espresso. Better than must of the places in leiden…read more But... Since this is a place that praises Itself as an excellent choice for coffee lovers... The Colombia was a "tiny bit" under extracted. This gave a lot of high notes while the lower where hidden. The baristas where not super friendly, not rude... OK for dutch standards.

As third wave coffee goes, Borgman delivers distinctively unique and uplifting brew. Though the…read morecafe is petite, it has an atmosphere of sit and socialize but also focus-in and be creative if one is working. Their iced vanilla latte is scrumptious and they even provide a biscotto on the side to complement. Taking iced coffee to-go is fairly difficult since they don't have the plastic cups, only paper ones for warm drinks. Altogether it's a smartly decorated cafe that makes you want to stick around and sip your favorite pick-me-up in the roasted coffee bean air.

I was smiling cheek to cheek when I saw that Illy had a coffee shop. I absolutely LOVE their…read morecoffee. I've seen their coffee featured at shops, but not a stand alone. Needless to say I was really excited.... The decor was super cute with the hanging coffee mugs (see pics) The woman behind the counter was very friendly, and she helped me with my coffee and breakfast selection. I ordered the caffe latte and the ham croissant. As soon as I took a sip of the latte, I was reminded exactly why I love illy's coffee! It's so strong and bold, and the croissant was delicious. My pit stop at Illy was the perfect way to end my trip in Amsterdam.

Also, when I'm at a place that calls them self a specialty coffee bar I expect some latte art instead of an ugly coffee.

I had a nice coffee here. Large open space near Bilderdijkpark. It's a gem in Oud-West. Lots of…read moreworking space if you're looking for a place to park with your laptop and get out of the apartment. There were a lot (possibly majority) English speaking team members and customers here, so if Dutch is not your language, don't fear, this is your place! They have delicious coffee, to go and beans as well. I love their house blend beans for my home coffee machine. The food looks delicious, although I have not tried that yet....yet.

Absolutely my favorite coffee shop in Amsterdam!…read more Bruno rocks. He truly cares about his craft. Has amazing Italian piston machines and one of the best espresso machines on the planet (because I also have one - a Lelit Bianca). Bought a pound of his roasted medium roasted coffee and it was AMAZING. Wish I had bought more when I visited! Thanks, Bruno!!! I plan to go back when I go back to Amsterdam!!!

There is quite possibly no better coffee or conversation to be had anywhere else in Amsterdam! I…read moreread about Bruno's on a blog post, and almost didn't come over to check it out myself..... That would've been a mistake! Admittedly, Espresso is not my corner market niche, but I was well informed upon my visit and more enlightened as I crossed the threshold back into society. I truly cannot say enough good things about Bruno's!!! The Coffee/Espresso was exquisite and arguably the best cup of Espresso I've had on the globe. Don't pass them up!!!!! Take the time and do yourself a favor!!! And make time for conversation, they're FANTASTIC to speak with!!!

So if you're craving some awesome coffee to take with you, this is a great place to get it. This place sells the most potent coffee I've ever tasted. The first time I brewed it in my french press, I was up until well past 4:30am and it felt like I could see through time. When my boyfriend has a cup or two, he's bouncing around the house at 2:30am putting together Ikea furniture when he normally can't keep his eyes open past 11pm. I don't know what they do to it, but it's pretty amazing. What's even better is their Ethiopian coffee liqueur. It's like Kahlua but not opaque and not as sweet. It's just delicious alcoholic coffee goodness. The owner will tell you a story about how it's distilled in Amsterdam and refined to a point where it's almost pure alcohol, but the bottom line is it makes a White Russian that even The Dude would be envious of.

We enjoyed our take-away coffees from Kaffa. The coffee was good and surprisingly inexpensive…read more Unfortunately, there is no interior seating here (and only one small table outside), so I'd suggest Kaffa primarily for take-away coffee and for purchasing coffee beans. We also had some of the house-made coffee truffles, which I'd highly suggest.
