It can be tough to find a spot in the city for big groups – or for dining with children, for that matter. Thankfully, there's always Café Restaurant Amsterdam. The food is solid, and the space is relaxed and inviting.

Walking past this place when you’re in a rush can feel like torture as the delicious smells of freshly baked goods wafts out of its doors. This adorable nordic bakery has incredible cinnamon buns and is also a great lunch spot for tasty grilled sandwiches.

Munch on as many cheese-and-mustard croissants and omelette-filled Danishes as your stomach allows at louf's newest outpost, tucked into a 1631-built corner of the city's milling history. Baked daily with slow-fermented levain, layered pastries turn morning coffee into a rite. For a jolt of local heritage, make a Tuesday pilgrimage to De Molen to watch the last wind-powered sawmill in action, its turning sails a reminder that this city was built on motion.

Don’t you ever want to go somewhere that just makes you feel cool? The kind of place where you look around & everyone is stylish & seems to be engaged in super intellectual discussions? Well, FUKU is just such a place. Come here for a dose of cool & a cup of killer coffee. Oh, & don’t forget about the delicious pastries, homemade granola & natural wine!
