Want to have a coffee date in Amsterdam? Then this is the right article for you! This post includes hidden coffee spots in Amsterdam. Click and read it!
Attention: Before you read on… Before we start sharing our secret best coffee spots in Amsterdam, we would like to tell all our readers the difference between Coffee shops and Café. To many of you, you probably think: ah? Isn’t that the same? Well, Amsterdam is a place of freedom, and you never know how crazy it can be! In short, a coffee shop is never the place for having a cup of coffee. If you just want to enjoy a cup of coffee, please go to the “Café”. Coffee Shop is the place for weeds, space cakes, and so on.
I always have my coffee along the canals or with nice views or atmosphere from Amsterdam. Here is my top 5 places for nice views/atmosphere in Amsterdam after living 5 years in this beautiful city!

#2 CT Coffee &Coconuts: from Amsterdam to a relaxing café in South East Asia!
Best cozy atmosphere for a cup of coffee in Amsterdam, just like in SEA!
Want to find the best coffee date spot? Then CT, Coffee, and Coconuts Amsterdam is your best choice! The best café in Oude Pijp!
The story of CT Coffee&Coconuts
The place was renovated from a historic theater. The theater was one of the most popular places in Amsterdam, but as time passed, it was not popular and was abandoned for a long time.
Luckily, Bas, who was the café owner, found this theater and believed that the theater could be a good place to run a café if it was properly renovated. With two other café investors, Bas turned the theater into a perfect place for coffee lovers, either for chitchat with friends, working place, or date spot.
