    The coffee was one of the best i’ve had in Amsterdam. The banana cake and lemon cake was very good too, they were moist and tasty. They were homemade and tasted that way as well :) A good cafe to study, as well as to go with friends or on your own. Prices were average. Definitely would go again. <3

    Good selection of delicious snacks - the red velvet cake and cranberry brownie is yummy! They are both super soft. The WiFi is great and space is cozy.

    Coffee Bru is one of the highly rated coffeeroasters in Amsterdam. The staff is friendly and helpful. All the cakes are home-made and taste very delicious. You can expect a very high quality coffee here without any doubts. They also have a terrace in front of the shop, so perfect to enjoy the sunshine with cakes and coffee.

    great little shop in a quieter neighborhood of Amsterdam. The have a good selection of food and bites. The coffee is not the best in the city but it is still good. The charm and of this cafe is what should draw you to Coffee Bru. The staff is friendly and helpful knowledgable and provides quick and accurate service.

    Coffee was strong and tasted good. Ordered a banana bread but not toasted so it wasn’t the best I’ve had.

    I'm so glad that Coffee Bru survived the Corona Crisis! Lovely, very professional people, superior coffee, croissants, and addictive chocolate cake. Kids and dogs friendly. Check out the pictures! Camera: Motorola Edge 20

    MUST TRY. Haven’t had this much nice coffee in ages. Aroma, temperature, ambience.. everything the best. Kids, dog friendly too.

  • 5/5 Vasiliki S. 7 months ago on Google • 56 reviews
    A selfservice cafeteria, with very nice coffee and cakes! I had the rose berry cake and cappuccino.

  • 5/5 Yann Q. 2 years ago on Google
    Amongst my top spots for a chilled coffee and croissant. The Rumbaba coffee is excellent, pastries are delicious and the staff super friendly and kind. The spot itself is cosy with plants, room to settle for a read a couple emails of just a chill moment. Both inside and outside areas are cool to hangout at 🤘

  • 5/5 Miss O. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good coffee, quite a big terrace and nice staff. Quite far from city centre but totally worth the walk

  • 5/5 Karl H. 2 years ago on Google
    My favourite coffee spot in the neighbourhood. Very nice coffee, super friendly staff and a nice terrace to enjoy their cakes. Vegan options too.

  • 5/5 Niklas O. 2 years ago on Google
    Tasty coffee and even better cakes. Unfortunately no breakfast. Could also be a cool spot to get some work done.

  • 5/5 Andressa G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great quality of coffee, and a nice variety of of cakes. A suggestion is to add savory food in the menu too.

  • 5/5 Aleksandra K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great experience! Grabbed a carrot cake and some drip coffee, both tasted amazing. Nice atmosphere for work and hanging out alike, and the service was super friendly. Overall, pretty chill and charming, would recommend!

  • 5/5 Maria Eirini K. 2 years ago on Google
    So happy to find a place where the Baristas actually knew how to make coffee. It's hard in Amsterdam to find that. Totally enjoyable atmosphere and the chance to sit outside with wonderful weather completed the amazing experience!

  • 5/5 Josh L. 4 years ago on Google
    One of the best lattes we had while traveling through Europe - complete with friendly service and a cozy atmosphere.

  • 3/5 DAVID G. 2 years ago on Google
    Good coffee beans, and nice location and terrace. However, depending on the day you come, baristas will be either super friendly or barely talking to you without looking at you in the eyes, which somehow can make you feel uncomfortable. Cappuccinos are not the best since the foam is not mixed well with the coffee (like it should). Maybe it'd be better for all the baristas to have a decent formation so they all know how to do their job - from the social part to the technical one. Nevertheless, Koen is the best (and only decent) barista in this café!

  • 5/5 Zosia P. 2 years ago on Google
    A lovely place! You can sit outside or inside, very good coffee, a lot to choose from (different beans and beverages), and the nicest staff! Definitely recommend

  • 5/5 Arianna Di M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee and delicious cakes! The girl at the bar was very friendly too :)

  • 5/5 tessa b. 2 years ago on Google
    First of all, such friendly staff! A perfect place to sit with friends or to get some work done. Lots of vegan options, the vegan pumpkin spice cake was amazing! Will be back soon.

  • 1/5 Joan I. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice friendly people,coffee is great.The reason why i give one star is because the cake was so dry and it was like eating breadcrumbs.It supposed to be a raspberry cake but not flavours at all there.The icing sugar glaze on the top was way too sweet to swallow it.Good coffee bad cake.

  • 5/5 Troy V. 1 year ago on Google
    This place does one thing and does it well. It's a proper cafe. Coffee drinks, cakes and pastries. I do wish the latte were served a bit hotter. Next time I will say my preference.

  • 5/5 Imogen H. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is cosy, welcoming and serves the best coffee in Oost. Alex always serves us and is a human filled with sunshine. He makes us all feel like our caffeine addiction is acceptable and normal- what a gem. Came for the coffee, stayed for the bubbly team. Never going anywhere else!

  • 5/5 Liam C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very thoughtful staff. Was travelling with bags and they offered to walk my drinks out with me to my table. The coffee was perfect along with their Forest Fruit cake.

  • 5/5 Mariano O. 1 year ago on Google
    Delightful place with super friendly staff, nice cakes, good coffee and lots of people working which is great to boost your concentration on your own work 😜

  • 5/5 Haley W. 1 year ago on Google
    What a great coffee shop next to the park! The staff is so friendly. I didn’t try the pastries or loaves, but they looked delicious. The coffee was made promptly as well.

  • 5/5 Zoe A. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff are really lovely and easygoing (shoutout to Piotr and Sannah and Alex!) and always play cool music. There are cute tables in the back with skylights to let in the light, and it's laptop-friendly here as long as they're not too busy. And of course, the coffee is wonderful. They also have decaf(!) pea milk (hard to find!) and usually a couple of vegan cakes available. Dog-friendly too.

  • 4/5 Nick K. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my least favourite specialty coffee shop of the 15 that I visited while in Amsterdam. They serve coffee from the reputable Rum Baba Roastery and offer counter service only. The coffee was well made. No WiFi was made obviously available though there was lovely outdoor seating. The seating at the back of the store was less interesting and service area can be disruptive if you are seated there.

  • 4/5 Behrooz N. 1 year ago on Google
    Small cozy place near Oosterpark. Good flat white and fresh lemon cake. Seems to be very good for stop by coffee or work time.

  • 5/5 maggie y. 9 months ago on Google
    We stayed in Amsterdam for a few days and we were so happy to find this cafe who does excellent coffees and cakes. The staff were friendly, great atmosphere there. We didn’t mind to catch a tram to go there every day. Highly recommended.

    Great place and they made a small counter outside to prevent problems inside due to CoViD-19. The 10-ish tables outside are great for an iced coffee in the 30+ degrees right now.

  • 5/5 Taylor B. 3 years ago on Google
    Coffee Bru is a fantastic local cafe. The people working there are always friendly and the coffee is lovely. In the summer they have a nice outdoor seating area. I always enjoy grabbing a latte from this place.

  • 4/5 Katy G. 4 years ago on Google
    Well made coffee but it was kind of cold. Packed cafe with hardly any seats but a cool vibe. Some cute dogs - I love the Netherlands for this! Dogs are welcome in winter...or anytime, really. Not the best place to work on your laptop although their wifi is really good but it's pretty noisy, so better to just enjoy a coffee break.

    Best coffee in Amsterdam for coffee holic. Cakes are also tasty. Service depends. Sometimes I wonder if you hate smiling at people why you want to work in Bru. The owner is a great guy, always sweet and deliver fast service.

  • 4/5 Hanna R. 4 years ago on Google
    Quite pleasant place I like to come by for some tasty coffee. Can't say it's cosy here because everyone is working. Looks like an office not a place for enjoying life 😅 Anyway stuff is very talkative and friendly.

    Was visiting Amsterdam for a week with my kid, and after visiting lots of coffee shops, this one is the best. My Husband and I were THRILLED to discover these guys. Coffee A+, baked goods AA++. cappuccinos were too freaking good. Now we are back home in the states and still talking about their coffee. Damn. They are killing it. 10/10 would go back. Add to cart. Yes.

👍 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.
