Coffee shop

Coffee shop in Amsterdam means two different things — and this archive is about the third-wave specialty kind, not the cannabis-licensed kind (those are filed separately). This list collects the city’s serious roasters and specialty cafés: Lot Sixty One on Kinkerstraat (one of the city’s most influential roasters, with a Brooklyn-influenced lab aesthetic), Bocca on Kerkstraat (a pioneer of specialty in the city), Scandinavian Embassy on Sarphatipark in De Pijp, Back to Black on Weteringstraat, and Coffee & Coconuts in De Pijp. Each listing covers seating style, laptop policy, the house bean origin, and what they pull or pour better than anywhere else in their neighbourhood.
