About Harmani Microroastery

Harmani calls itself a microroastery and all-day brunch café, and both halves of that description matter. The roaster sits inside the shop, so the beans in your cup and the beans on the retail shelf are roasted on site. The food side leans Greek, mixing Greek pastries and coffee traditions with standard brunch dishes.

What sets it apart from most Amsterdam roasters is how much say you get in the roast. Harmani’s setup lets you pick a bean from its range and choose a roast level based on the flavor you want, with staff guiding you through the options. The regular lineup includes Ethiopia Limu, Guatemala Huehuetenango, Sumatra, Papua New Guinea, Costa Rica, Colombia Supremo, El Salvador and Honduras.

The café sits on Frans Halsstraat, a street of independent shops a block north of Albert Cuypstraat. That makes it an easy coffee or brunch stop before or after the Albert Cuyp Market or a walk in Sarphatipark.

What to Order at Harmani

Coffee and Greek iced coffee

The hot menu covers the usual espresso drinks (espresso, cappuccino, latte, flat white, macchiato, latte macchiato and Americano), plus Greek coffee. Plant-based milk is available.

The iced menu is the reason to come here on a warm day. The freddo espresso is espresso served over ice, and the freddo cappuccino combines espresso, ice and cold frothed milk. Both are café staples in Greece and still less common in the Netherlands, where hot coffee is the norm. Harmani also serves a frappé made with instant coffee, an iced latte and an iced latte macchiato.

The Bougatsan and other croissants

The Bougatsan is Harmani’s signature sweet croissant, and the name nods to bougatsa, the Greek breakfast pastry. It sits on the menu next to plain, praline and pistachio croissants, and there’s also a platter of mini croissants with sweet dips if you’re sharing.

For something savory, Harmani has three filled croissants:

• Golden: scrambled eggs, cheese and bacon
• Mushroom Feta: poached egg, feta cream, mushrooms and spinach on a multigrain croissant
• Salmon: scrambled eggs, rucola, avocado and chives on a classic croissant

Peinirli

Peinirli is a Greek savory bread baked with fillings, and it’s the heartiest thing on the menu. Harmani makes a Classic (tomato sauce, cheese, bacon), a Greek (feta, onion, olives, tomato, green pepper), a Special (cheese, bacon, mushrooms, egg) and a Loaded version with spiced minced beef and egg. You can also build your own from a tomato-and-cheese base with add-ons such as halloumi, feta, pepperoni, mushrooms, egg and truffle mayo.

Brunch plates and the weekend special

The “Harmani Classics” section covers the rest of brunch: a yogurt bowl with house granola, chia and fruit; a breakfast burger with fried chicken, caramelized onions and cheddar; and a burrata salad with cherry tomatoes, strawberry, olives and pickled onions. Fries and sweet potato fries are available as sides. There’s also a weekend special, which changes every week.

Tea, chocolate and beans to take home

If you don’t drink coffee, the tea list runs from sencha, jasmine and rooibos to Earl Grey, masala chai, chai latte and matcha latte. There’s also hot, flavored and cold chocolate, and a mochaccino.

You can buy Harmani’s coffee in 250 g pouches. The options include the house blend, Guatemala, Papua New Guinea, Sumatra and Ethiopia Limu. A bag of beans makes a more useful souvenir than the clogs in the tourist shops.

Best Time to Visit

Go on a weekday morning, soon after the 08:30 opening, if you want a calm table and a coffee before sightseeing. Weekends open at 09:00 and are the obvious brunch slot, so expect it to be busier, and there’s no way to book ahead. Go early on Saturday or Sunday if you want the weekend special.

Harmani isn’t an evening café. It closes at 16:30 on weekdays and 17:00 on weekends, so plan it as a morning or lunch stop. If you want somewhere nearby in De Pijp that stays open late, Café Sarphaat on Ceintuurbaan is open until 1 am or later every night.

On a warm day, order a freddo and take it outside. Harmani has outdoor seating, and Sarphatipark is a short walk away if you’d rather sit in the park. From Monday to Saturday, you can pair your visit with the Albert Cuyp Market, which runs from about 09:30 to 17:00. For something sweet afterwards, Rudi’s Original Stroopwafels makes fresh stroopwafels at a food truck in the market.

How to Get There

Harmani is in De Pijp, just south of the canal ring, not in the historic center around Dam Square. The address is Frans Halsstraat 89H, 1072 BP Amsterdam.

• From Amsterdam Centraal: take metro 52 (the Noord/Zuidlijn) to De Pijp station. From there, it’s about a five-minute walk to Frans Halsstraat.
• By tram: the closest tram stop is Marie Heinekenplein, about a four-minute walk away.
• On foot: De Pijp is roughly a 15-minute walk from the Rijksmuseum.
• By bike: De Pijp is compact and flat, so it’s easy to cycle to from the canal ring or Museumplein.

Tips for Visiting

• Don’t try to book a table. Harmani is walk-in only. For a team lunch or group event, call +31 6 47557416 first.
• Ask about the beans. Staff can walk you through the origins and roast options. That’s the main thing that makes this place different from a regular brunch café.
• Try something Greek. If you’ve only ever had Italian-style espresso drinks, order a freddo cappuccino, a Greek coffee or a peinirli.
• Bring a laptop if you need to. Harmani has free Wi-Fi and is listed as laptop-friendly. If you’re staying a while, order more than one coffee, and give up your table during the weekend brunch rush.
• You can pay by card, so you don’t need cash.
• Visiting several roasters? Harmani fits easily into a coffee crawl with the cafés on our specialty coffee and roasters in Amsterdam list.
