Alright, here you come to be seen. Maybe not the best coffee but the best design in combination with serious high level service. Grab a fancy beer, cider or a good cup of tea. It's a bit pricy but ok.

You will never find better, my favourite restaurant where you won't be annoyed. No pretentions but an open French kitchen with an authentic Dutch style. Make sure to reserve up front and they don't open in weekends. It can be pricy but it's worth every penny. Don't order from the menu and all wines go by glass, but inform carefully about the prices.

The one and only good Dutch restaurant. Make sure to order some authentic Dutch dishes and a steak, share along. It became a chain over the years by two brothers but haven't touched the quality. This location is where it all started. No reservations, just be patient at the bar and ask for a seat in the greenhouse.
check out their "Oudekerk a/d Amstel" branche for a out of town experience.
try their "NDSM" branche for a real nautic experience and a beautiful view on Amsterdam.

It's a tea shop, the best you will get in Europe. It's not a cafe so just hop in to see her selection, if she likes you can try to get a seat in the window and kick back. It's one of those places where passion wins from money.

For the ones sniffing around urban projects. The Bijlmer was established in the 70's to be the city of the future. Went all wrong and now it's there to be explored. By bike, great parks and a good multicultural feeling.
