With their own mini empire in Amsterdam, Screaming Beans is an excellent place to refuel and recharge. The baristas here really know their stuff, so if you’re stuck on what to order, they’ll guide you with care and expertise. We’ve set up a standing order of their beans so we can make coffee that’s almost as good when we’re at home.

Tucked away in the middle of the Negen Straatjes is Café de Pels. It may look unassuming & unexciting at first glance, but we implore you to give it a chance. It’s the dreamiest respite from a day of brisk shopping & the ideal place to spend a rainy afternoon. Order a biertje or two, & maybe a toastie if you’re feeling a bit peckish, & enjoy some of the best people watching around.
