What a fabulous little pub with a wonderful local craft beer and cider list! The waiter/bartender…read morespoke English very well with us and was more than happy to make food and drink recommendations. There was no table for our party of 5 but he let us sit at a table that was reserved for someone who wouldn't be there for a bit. Great vibe, music and decor. It felt like a lot of locals hanging out there and everyone was incredibly friendly. Definitely recommend going a little out of your way to visit. We took an Uber from Central Station to Joost and it was about 20€, worth it since it was pouring down rain. This place was recommended to our friend by a brewer!

The Espressofabriek (Espresso Factory) is a cool place to get your caffeine fix. Other than the…read morename suggests, they do not only offer espresso type coffee, but also all sorts of filter coffee, made in different ways. You can choose the beans, and the filter method, so it will take you some time to test all the combinations! Still, the best part of this coffee bar is their fresh Dutch apple pie! It is being baked in store (the barista makes it him/herself!), so if you are lucky enough to get there when it is just finished, you can enjoy a piece of freshly baked pie. That should transport you back home, and makes you think about how your mother used to do that in the weekends! There is a nice large reading table, allowing you to do some work even (of course they have free WiFi!), or read one of the recent magazines they have available. The other thing I like is that they are dog friendly. It is perfectly fine to take your dog inside (I have a labrador), and sit there for a while. All in all, my favorite coffee place on IJburg! The reason I am not giving 5 stars is that they do not have anything substantial to eat. So if you get there around lunch time, and you are longing for a nice lunch, then you will have to make do with some pie, a croissant, a muffin, or a cookie.

Bagels & Beans is going to be a surprise for me for a while. Not only their base product is…read moreAmerican (bagels), but also the way you can order them. Lots of choices, which can drive me mad sometimes when I am in a hurry, but which is also fun, because your next bagel will be different for sure! They also seem to be making wicked smoothies, just saw someone leave with one that had "green powder" as main ingredient. Need to try that next time! Teas are good, they have a nice choice of biologic teas. And of course the coffee, which is pretty OK here... it could withstand my litmus test for double espresso: not too much acidity, strong yet soft. All in all, definitely worth visiting (The 4 stars may end up being 5 when I tried more of their offerings!)

A small children's area is towards the back if you have little ones, and there is a diaper changing table in the bathroom if you need it. The wifi is free and open, so no password needed. It's super close to a tram stop (tram 26-only tram on IJBurg) too. If you would like to explore IJburg, it's a nice place to start and get fueled up before walking around.

You may end up walking a lot to get there but it'll be worth it! Dog friendly during the day at least when the beach side is open.

Our first visit one of the owners treated us to a sampling platter (pic).

World's coziest table & bench, but cute. The restaurant itself is petite and homey. The candles were lit and the lighting was dim. Lots of folks were here enjoying themselves. Food was fine. Not terribly inspired, but comforting on a blustery day. The menu is limited for non meat eaters or pescatarians. Drinks were good. Service was friendly. A cute neighborhood cat made a visit. That was a highlight. Overall, this was a good experience.

It is so incredibly cozy inside, and you will want to stay and hang out for hours. The service was great, and they have a very well-curated menu including plenty of vegetarian options. We each went with one of their pot pies and they were amazing. I am still dreaming about the mushroom one! Don't miss out on the triple ginger cake for dessert - it is an absolute must. I wish we lived closer so that we could come all the time! Definitely be sure to make a reservation, as I can see how it could get busy inside, especially on a weekend.

Winkel 43 is a legendary stop right on the corner of Westerstraat and Noordermarkt in the Jordaan,…read moreperfectly situated along the Prinsengracht canals and just a short walk from the Anne Frank House. While it functions as a cozy, traditional Dutch brown café, virtually everyone comes here for one main reason: the famous Dutch apple pie (*appeltaart*). It completely lives up to the reputation. Served warm with a massive dollop of fresh whipped cream, it's thick, perfectly spiced, and has an almost cake-like crust that sets it apart. Pairing a slice with a fresh mint tea is pretty much mandatory. Because of its status and location, it's almost always buzzing with people--especially on market days--but the staff manages the perpetual queue remarkably fast. Snagging a table on the outdoor terrace for some people-watching along the canal is hard to beat. Whether you're taking visitors around the neighborhood or just out exploring the Jordaan.

There was a long line and a pretty long wait when we went. The place was fully packed, with both…read moreindoor and outdoor seating. I'd say about 95% of the people were ordering the apple pie, so of course we had to get one to see what the hype was about. The apple pie is pretty unique, it's basically a big chunk of cooked apple topped with a sweet, crumbly cookie like crust. The flavor reminded me of those little brown biscuits you get as airplane snacks... basically Biscoff cookies. lol!!! Overall, you really taste the natural apple flavor along with that Biscoff like cookie flavor. The pie itself isn't very sweet, which I actually liked, but adding some whipped cream definitely brings up the sweetness and makes it even better. The setup is pretty straightforward: get in line, order and pay, pick up your food, then find your own seat. It's definitely a popular spot, so be prepared for the crowd and a bit of a wait.
