While New York, Los Angeles & London are certainly at the forefront of the boutique fitness studio revolution, we hold firm that Amsterdam is catching up quickly. PLTS is a sleek & stylish Pilates studio located in Amsterdam’s Oud West. Don’t be fooled by the chill, calming décor (though we do love feeling like we’re at the spa). The workout is killer. We promise.

Hartog has been an integral part of Amsterdam for over a century now, staying true to the original recipes of Aagje Hartog. While most bread production involves the use of animal fats, Hartog, has been baking vegan bread ever since it first opened.

Founded by a duo of true Amsterdammers, YUSU has become a go-to for Oost’s young, creative crowd, helped by its location near the city’s most-famous fashion academy. Its name comes from the Surinamese word for “serious” - a nod to the team’s roots and the seriously good coffee served here. Beans are sourced from Amsterdam specialty roastery Back to Black, with a private-label blend for both espresso and filter. Alongside the excellent coffee, you can expect ceremonial matcha and house-baked treats like Surinamese pasteitjes, Brazilian pão de queijo and rotating pastry specials. Regular collaborations with local artists and DJ sets keep things moving, making YUSU as much a cultural hangout as the coolest people-watching stop. 

This little coffee shop is known for their filter and specialty coffees made with beans from Rum Baba coffee roasters. The delicious buttery scones are our fave treats at Coffee Bru.
