    Their coffee is super good, the brownie is delicious, and the staff is super friendly! Every time I come here I need to take my time as nothing happens fast enough, but even so, because I get delicious coffee which is not too milky or too sour as in many other places in Amsterdam, I am all for waiting. Pretty hipster vibe as well, but still recommend to come here and see for yourself

    Lovely little rustic cafe along the red/1 tram line and right across from the Huygensstraat station. Delicious espresso drinks, the chorizo toasty sandwich really hit the spot, and the croissant was awesome. The kind of place I’d be a regular if I lived nearby.

    It's a popular place so better go early. 😊 Liked their toasties, their tea and chocolate! I don't drink coffee anymore, but my friend who tried said it's tasty! Nice atmosphere and friendly staff! I'll definitely come back next time I visit Amsterdam!

    Very tasty coffee and nice atmosphere. But chicken sandwich was too dry.

    This is a great place for either a cup of coffee, a sandwich, a piece of cake, sitting with your laptop, or all of the above combined. There's only one vegan sandwich, and even that is based on their Sunny sandwich, minus the cheese, but it was tasty. They do however have a vegan carrot cake and a vegan hot cocoa, which were great. Recommend.

    Amazing discovery! I went there to get my morning coffee everyday for a week as it was in front of my hotel. Not only they know how to make a perfect cappuccino but they welcome you with a smile. I would like to thank the barista who was there on Thursday 19.10 in the morning, I had a problem with my credit card and she was about to offer me my coffee as she probably felt bad for me, luckily I had some cash on me and sorted the card problem later on. Thanks for being so nice, will definitely come back next year!

    Not sure where to start since I personally liked everything about this place. Firstly, the staff is very welcoming, friendly and nice. The interior and atmosphere here is heartwarming and simply lovely. And lastly the coffee is great with a wide variety :)

    Rarely, very rarely, I give out a five stars, but this time I really must. Welcome to Koffie Academie, this quirky hipster cafe where brewed with mastery dark potions are there to wake you up as you unfold the day before you. Croissants and cakes are light and tasty right to the point. So far nothing to deserve a 5, more of a 4, right? Here is where the outsider comes on stage: the ginger shot! It’s one of the very few places where it’s freshly made on the spot and it’s so loaded with ginger, turmeric and the right sprinkle of black pepper that you’ll wonder what have you had up to now. Hope this little detail won’t change ever, and I wish I had the recipe for that little spicy drink myself.

    I dined here on Friday afternoon, it was a very cosy place and the guy who was preparing and serving was nice. I ordered "Cheesy" sandwich from their list of sandwiches, but mistakenly he brought me "Cheeky" which had Ham in it. I refused it, and he changed it immediately. Nice ambience, good location, the Wi-Fi wasn't working but I managed with hotspot. Small advice, they need to clean the walls and the tables, because in some places I saw spider webs. Which is not a very good thing to see where I sit and eat.

    This was such a nice discovery👌🏻👌🏻(and I cycle in front of it almost everyday). One of the best flat whites I have had, the staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is very cozy (also to go and work from there). The music was bit loud for my taste but I still loved it. Will come back for sure more than once ☕️

    I just took a simple espresso. The coffee was excellent and very nice people and atmosphere. Definitely recommend

  • 1/5 Duncan 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I personally love this kind of shops. Minimalistic design, no fuss and a nice coffee machine! But unfortunately the shelf is misgeslagen. Very unfortunate of the menu, the toasts are not particularly tasty and small on cheap Turkish bread. Nice if the staff also works a bit instead of apping or gaming on the phone. Waited 10 minutes for a flat white (more like a cappuccino) while I am the only one who ordered. (Original) Persoonlijk hou ik van dit soort zaakjes. Minimalistisch ingericht, geen poespas en een mooie koffiemachine! Maar helaas is de plank misgeslagen. Heel jammer van de menukaart, de toasts zijn niet bijzonder smakelijk en klein op goedkoop turks brood. Wel fijn als de het personeel ook een beetje werkt ipv appen of gamen op de telefoon. 10 minuten gewacht op een flat white (meer een cappuccino) terwijl ik de enige ben die besteld heeft.

    They have Iced drinks in the store. It's eco-friendly. Delicious. If you go to Vodelpark area, worth it to make a stop and have your nice drink.

  • 4/5 Vivien 3 months ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    A bit crowded, seats are limited. We ordered a latte and a V60 coffee, banana cake and carrot cake, the taste and quality are slightly above average, pretty good!

  • 2/5 rosamaria d. 4 months ago on Google
    I enjoyed the coffee here for the majority of my stay in Amsterdam until the very last day when I was rudely approached by a staff member. One of the male baristas came to our table and informed me that I was extremely rude for bringing juice in from outside because they also make juices here (this was not infact my juice, but rather an empty bottle a friend had brought in because we had been using it to stuff our trash into as we walked along the canal. The staff member then stormed off before we were able to get a word in and made a rude gesture to us as we left. Safe to say I will not be returning to the Cafe, nor will I be recommending it to friends after this experience.

  • 1/5 Rob D. 2 years ago on Google
    The coffee wasn't hot an they should be ashamed for the grilled cheese sandwich they served. Will never visit the Koffie Academie again and would advise everyone to stay away. And the young lady behind the counter should learn some basic greetings for potential new customers who don't use Google maps.

  • 3/5 Margaux M. 5 months ago on Google
    Coffee is good. Banana bread delicious but overpriced. Table was packed with crumbles, waiter saw it and decided on not cleaning… a bit more hygiene would be appreciated

  • 4/5 lorcan 6 months ago on Google
    The coffees are all surprisingly small and fit in the cup size of a small flat white. You'll get about 3 mouth fulls at best. Same two sandwiches ordered for separate people had drastically inconsistent portion sizes and thickness of bread cut. Nice vibe though

  • 5/5 Hendrika van G. 2 years ago on Google
    Can't fault anything. Great presentation and tasty coffee. Also a good selection of cakes, toasties and fresh juices. I came back here after some time and found a new welcoming staff which makes the place very friendly. Highly recommended! Gezellig!

  • 5/5 Leo A. 10 months ago on Google
    Sat here this morning for breakfast. Got the “Sunny” toast with sun dried tomatoes, feta, and basil for €9. Also a cold brew for €4. Good seating, Wi-Fi, location. Tables have signs that say “Laptop Free” but maybe you can work in the back.

  • 5/5 Harun I. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice, decent cafe with all the basic qualities you expect from a local cafe. Good coffee, nice food, friendly service. We went there a month ago and had a quick breakfast there, some toast and muffins, coffee etc. If you are around, this is a place where you can sit down and enjoy for a quick coffee and easy food.

  • 5/5 Lee W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to stop off as it was close to my hotel. Visited twice. Great coffee, fresh orange is as good as it gets, our food was good too. The batista on both occasions were lovely. I must say I enjoyed the music, ideal place to relax for me.

  • 5/5 Josh B. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely rich flavoured coffee from this independent. Wife had hot ginger orange which is a nice change!! Super friendly staff. Seats about 20 or so and was busy so took ours to go.

  • 5/5 Andrey S. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best coffee joints in Amsterdam. Love the rusty looking interior design, the laid-back vibe and the friendliness of the staff. Overall a brilliant little place to cozy up with a person you care about, or do some remote working.

  • 5/5 Alexandra I. 4 years ago on Google
    Such a great flat white, highly recommend to visit this coffee place.

  • 5/5 Lauren B. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is honestly fabulous. Me and a friend were in Amsterdam for three days, found this place on the first day and went back every single day. Everyone is so friendly and after the first day our order was remembered and referred to as the usual. I can’t recommend Koffie Academy enough, planning more trips back to Amsterdam mostly because of this place. The coffee is amazing and the food is beautiful too (Highly recommend the coconut latte and monkey magic granola, go with an empty stomach though, you get a lot)!

  • 5/5 Decoye 4 years ago on Google
    Exceptionally good coffee, nice ambient feeling and super sweet people working there. Food is also amazing. Love to go here.

  • 4/5 iliya p. 4 years ago on Google
    lovely atmosphere. Very cozy. Very nice and kind young girls who work here, may not be professional waitresses or bartenders, I’d argue it’s a bit of this place’s charm. The “snack” of toasted chicken sandwich, is good to try; however, the taste was not equally dispersed for some reason, so the first bite can have a noticeably different taste with the last few ones. Although definitely not an adult’s lunch, very edible and enjoyable. Cappuccino is yet another good thing about the place. They have definitely done their coffee making practice well, and better than that, the branding and advertising. I would suggest, it’s not a place to grab something to bite and go. It’s one of those places that you have to come with a friend or two, have a long conversation while having brunch and coffee. Or, you can come and read something in the other room if alone. I’m happy that I randomly found this place, without knowing anything about it, and I was greeted with a big friendly smile. Ps: the only drink available is “coffee based”. So have that in mind. (Free Water with lemon is also available) Ps2: music is chill and really nice. Not loud, not too low.

  • 3/5 Thomas H. 5 years ago on Google
    Cannot talk about coffee quality, but the food was, for a 8,80Euro sandwich, really letting me down. A Chicken Sandwich with Avocado and Cheese for that price just raises expectations to a fresh and nice sandwich. See yourself, what I got.

  • 5/5 ema v. 4 years ago on Google
    Really cozy and welcoming interior with wooden tables and pictures on the walls. Staff is exceptional! They also have wifi here and people come in to work on their laptops. You’ll surely find something for breakfast or light lunch that you’ll love. Batch brew was lovely!

    Good coffee and cakes to go along with. If in need for exactly that it more than gets the job done, with friendly staff yo boot. Seems like a place locals hang out at with their laptops.

👍 A cozy restaurant with a view. I liked those Avocado chips very much. Comparatively budget friendly in central Amsterdam. (More ideal for a coffee date.) They are providing white bread with steak. . . PS: Don’t forget to reserve a table and visit the restaurant.
