Café Bloemers

Why visit Café Bloemers

Café Bloemers is a relaxed café-restaurant at Hemonystraat 70 in De Pijp, at the Ceintuurbaan end of the street. It serves coffee, lunch, dinner and drinks from 10:00 every day. It stays open until 01:00, or 03:00 on Friday and Saturday. The main draw is a large covered, heated terrace, so sitting outside still works on cool or damp Amsterdam days.

The café says it has been part of De Pijp for 30 years. It’s a neighborhood spot rather than a destination restaurant: come for a long lunch, a Friday borrel or a late drink, not a tasting menu.

Food and drinks

The kitchen is led by Mahmut and Frank. The café describes its cooking as no-nonsense, with a regularly changing menu that always includes vegetarian options. Recent menu listings include a Dutch pancake with syrup and sugar, and avocado toast with baby spinach, poached egg, parmesan and truffle mayo. Because the menu rotates, treat specific dishes as examples, not guarantees.

Bloemers runs a full bar. Reviewers describe a compact but varied beer list with options beyond standard pilsner, and staff who keep an eye on empty glasses. Guest reviews on the café’s site call the prices fair.

What stands out

• Heated terrace: a large covered terrace that makes outdoor seating practical outside summer
• Long hours: open from 10:00 daily, with a 03:00 close on Friday and Saturday
• Vegetarian choices: the café says there are always enough meat-free dishes on the menu
• Easy for visitors: reviewers note that the staff speak good English
• Private events: the café hosts birthday borrels and larger parties

Best times to visit

• Weekday late mornings: the calmest time for coffee or an early lunch after the 10:00 opening
• Friday afternoon and evening: the classic borrel slot, when the terrace fills with the after-work crowd
• Cool or rainy days: the covered, heated terrace is the reason to pick Bloemers over an open-air terrace
• Late on Friday or Saturday: one of the few De Pijp cafés serving until 03:00

For weekend dinners or groups, book ahead through the online form, which takes requests from 09:00 to 02:30, or call +31 20 400 4024.
