Caffènation Amsterdam — Restaurant in Amsterdam

Caffenation Amsterdam truly stands out with its superior coffee, accentuated by fresh beans directly sourced from Antwerp. Since the renovation, the establishment has been beautifully transformed. The upper floor offers a spacious setting for a relaxed coffee experience, while the lower level radiates a nostalgic hipster vibe – the perfect setting to work with your laptop, embodying the spirit of the specialty coffee scene. Every Sunday, they further elevate their offering with delightful pastries imported from Belgium – a treat that shouldn't be missed.

I'd like to emphasize that since my last review, the management has actively responded to feedback. A batch brew is consistently available now, which is a commendable improvement. Kudos to the owner for these positive changes!

While their coffee consistently delights, there were moments when the service felt a bit rushed. However, since the new ownership, opening times have significantly improved, and they've brought in an adept team which has enhanced the overall customer experience. The prices, though on the premium side, align with the quality of service and product they offer.

In summation, Caffenation Amsterdam undeniably excels on the coffee front. With the recent improvements, I'm optimistic about the growth of their customer experience. I always cherish my time here and am eager to see how the place evolves with its renewed focus on customer...

TL;DR: one of my favorite coffee places in the city, really good cappuccinos, espressos, banana bread and croissants!

Also, they have croissants, pain au chocolat and really good banana bread and cakes in general, I really recommend them. Lastly, they have really good variety of beans available as well, so you can buy some and it at home if you want.

You can find some lines here and there (especially around 9am), but nothing that ruins your experience. Also, you can go there to work if needed, as they have a good number of tables available for laptop usage and good WiFi connection, but the noise level might not be the...

Had a good experience coming here with friends, however if you need to work in the cafe, it’s the most unwelcoming one I’ve been in Amsterdam: WiFi is not fully covered, you can’t just pick any table because a specific table is reserved for “gezelligheid” not for people working. People did sit there alone and playing with the phone, not “gezellig” either. Ran away after a drink in the most polite way (so no photos this time). They do have a special coffee menu and interesting decors, however again, do not come here to work. Although it is super common these days to work in a cafe, this is not the place you want to be. In that way you can also help the owner to keep the cafe...
