White Label Coffee
This new coffee bar opened a year ago on the Jan Evertsenstraat and is getting rave reviews all around. Coffee lovers can enjoy a powerful cappuccino that is sure to keep you energized for at least several hours if not all day long. In addition to coffee drinks, cake and pastries, you can also buy coffee beans, coffee accessories and even their cool “W” cups. This is a favorite coffee spot for residents of Amsterdam West and further afield as well. Bring your laptop and take advantage of the WIFI with the other freelancers.

Espressofabriek
Espressofabriek is one of the pioneers of specialty coffee in Amsterdam. They were one of the first companies to roast their own beans in-house. The coffee is fantastic, and their Westergasfabriek space is beautiful. Indoors there are super high ceilings and you can enjoy the lovely Westerpark ambiance sitting outside when the weather is good.

Berry Amsterdam
Berry is a cute coffee shop on a perfect canalside corner in Oud West. Owner Tiemen and his staff make excellent coffee drinks and sweets but my favorites are the energizing fresh juices. On a sunny day grab a seat on the terrace outside along the Bilderdijkkade. There’s no WIFI here, so bring a book or a friend.

Koffie Academie
A great place to meet up over a nice coffee or bring your laptop and get some work done, Koffie Academie has a super friendly owner. They roast their own beans in house so you might be surrounded by the smell of toasting beans. Feeling hungry? Go for a sandwich or pastry!

Cafe Belcampo at OBA in de Hallen
Have little kids? This is the coffee spot in West for you! A mommy and daddy caffeine pit stop, Belcampo cafe at OBA in de Hallen has toys for tots too. If you’re not a parent and are looking for some peace and quiet, head upstairs or to the other side of the space and take advantage of the free WIFI to get some work done. Hungry? They have food here but we’d recommend hopping over to De Foodhallen across the way.
