Back to Black in Staatsliedenbuurt

Really my favorite coffee shop in Amsterdam. Nice atmosphere and not as cheery as the rest of Amsterdam. The chai latte is really the best I've ever had.

The cappuccino is excellent, the atmosphere inside is amazing, and there is a sunny back garden. I recommend it!

I come here so often to study and spend my time, I really love it! Zen is such a sweet cat too

Second time in about 10 days we travel all the way here and there is no coffee available other than filter due to something with the machine. Announce it somewhere (google maps/socials) and offer your customers at least a compensation and some understanding.

Sorry for the one star but quite insane to charge 5,50 for ice latte. I was even more shocked to get a tiny glass with ice coffee it wasn’t even medium size Everywhere else it comes with two shots for under 5 euro. Specially being located in Westerpark a diverse area I should pay so much for iced coffee.

Great coffe and their coffe cakes. Recomend trying their ginger pear cake while is still on the menu. Love their cats, Let them sleep 😆

The best coffee in the Netherlands! We love coming to Back to Black 😄 and of course you have to try the apple pie when you're there!

Really nice coffee place and they have a cute cat walking around. Staff is also just wonderful.

Delicious coffee and good atmosphere. I also often buy coffee beans for home use.

Chai latte was way too sweet, I found

Beautiful cafe, good coffee and a lovely place to sit while reading a book or chatting with friends

Enjoyed a spontaneous apple pie! A really nice atmosphere where people do their own thing☕️🍰 And there are cute kittens walking around 🐈🐈‍⬛

Great cat, great coffee. Their flat white is a bit too milky for my taste but milk to coffee ratio seems to be up to interpretation nowadays anyway. Amazing service and a nice view out of the front window !

Is very good. There is also the cat, the landlady.

Ideal place either to chill or to work with your laptop! Very cozy and "gezellig", "lekker" cakes and great coffee quality!👌💯

I truly appreciate the honest and delicious coffee here; it’s the kind of treat I’d love to enjoy every morning or afternoon. The slice of apple pie I had was simply delightful. This cozy spot feels just right for curling up with a good book or sharing a heartfelt conversation with a friend. The staff are genuinely kind and welcoming, making the experience all the more special.

Nice coffee and cake. Very chill vibes, they got a cute cat as well! :)

This coffee shop has such a great atmosphere — one of my favorites to go to! Houseplants indoors for a cozy vibe and plenty of seating. The pastry options are great too.

Very pleasant for a little break. The cappuccino was excellent.

The coffee is good, I give it 7 out of 10 It has the best service and reception is excellent 👍

We came in looking for some warmth, and found yummy coffee and lattes, delicious banana bread, friendly staff and such a relaxing atmosphere. It was truly a lucky find:)

Very good fruity espresso coffee

Atmosphere not welcome, long wait and bad coffee.

Delicious cakes and coffees in a cosy place with a cat 😻

Half of all guests were on a laptop, which created a very unpleasant atmosphere. Filter coffee from €4.50 was unfortunately cold and weak. When I asked about it, she told me that was strange because the coffee was made with 90 degree water. I then had to put my finger in my coffee to show that it was served cold. Only then did she believe me and if I could get my money back, I left it and left. Sorry, but I think €4.50 for a normal cup of filter coffee in Amsterdam West is really too expensive. If it is also cold and limp, then I don't really know what you are doing. Filter coffee is really the easiest and cheapest thing to do out of the list of making coffee. Please more coffee and less hip. Bass.

Great flat white coffee and delicious apple pie. The atmosphere here is simply amazing, very relaxed with lots of light and plants, warm and cozy. Friendly staff and cats add more charm to the experience

Another branch for the best coffee shop in town

Such a cool spot! Laptop friendly during the week, delicious coffee, my new favorite cafe in amsterdam

I am in love !!! Best coffee ever! Love from Qatar

A side bench that is laptop friendly and with multiple charging points. Coffee is great too! Try their cold brew :-)

Spent 3 days in Amsterdam and discovered this gem of a coffee shop ☕. Awesome pourovers, food, very nice people and little cats. What more can you ask for ?

Super into Back to Black! Coffee's good, place is chill, and it’s dog-friendly too—so cool! Definitely check it out.

One of my best coffee joints in AMS ❤️

Pleasant ambience! Coffee not so good, but the rest is great

Very nice place tasty coffee also they have a cat

Beautiful, cozy café with excellent coffee, sweet little kitty, & hospitable & kind staff ready to help you. Thank you for making my Sunday.

One of my favourite coffee places. Great filter coffee, love the Ethiopian coffee. And lovely Barista's. It's always nice to chat about the wonderful world of coffee. And they have a cat, so cute.

Delicious coffee and cozy atmosphere.

Delicious coffee, very friendly staff and a wonderful kitty to join with my coffee

Lucky me to live around the corner from this cafe. Zen the cat certainly steals the show here followed v v closely by the entire staff who are ever so friendly and warm 💖

A nice neighborhood cafe serving a variety of beans for their black coffee. I visited on a rainy day, so the outdoor seating wasn't available. They have plenty of outdoor seats. The cafe offers free WiFi, and many people were working there. Great vibes! I will be back for coffee and the bake on a sunnier day.

Good coffee and toasties, great customer service, and a little terrace outside full of local people - always a good sign.

Great coffee, location, atmosphere and of course the staff (including the lovely cat!)... It all combined into one lovely experience we had while visiting Amsterdam. Didn't try any of their pastries or food items though, but I believe they wouldn't fall short behind the quality of the coffee or overall service we got there. Thank you!

awesome place to sit down and have a coffee, but also to get supplies to make great coffee at home! The staff recommended me some great tasting beans based on my preferences.

Taste 2.7 Temp 2.8 Texture 2.7 (8.2 /9) Art 0.7 Total 8.9

One of the best filter coffees I've tried. My personal best is Nicaragua.

They have launched carrot cake with v60 👌🏻🥕

Awesome place to relax and de stress with an adorable cat for company, definitely recommend them especially when ur a cat Lover

Tasty coffee and pastries and a huge teracce outside. However, they have strict no laptops policy.

This morning we had a delicious Cappuccino & Matcha here. What a nice and attractive tent. If there is sun, you can also sit on the terrace.

We had a good time here. Good people, quality products, excellent coffee. Thank you.

Nice neighborhood coffee shop. It's very nice that you can't sit at the window with a laptop 😉 that looks a lot more cozy! Delicious cups of coffee and tasty sweet pastries! Oh yes, there is also a friendly house cat that likes to be petted!

Great coffee, lovely people working there! So lucky I live close!

We visited on our way to the Amsterdam Coffee Festival and stopped in for drinks and pastries. The drinks were great and I had the best pain au chocolate was the best I had our whole trip

Lovely cafe on a nice place and there is a beautiful cat, just perfect

One of my favorite coffee spots in the West/Westerpark neighborhood! I prefer to come here once a week! The neighbor's dates with chocolate are also highly recommended if you are in the area!

I go here often for their coffee. It’s a cute cafe in my neighbourhood! I enjoy their coffee and I buy my beans from here too. Especially love the beans from Ethiopia. I also enjoy their bakes - such as the spinach cheese quiche and the banana bread. Will keep going back for more

Great coffee place - it is popular so can cause a wait

Thanks guys! Delicious coffee, excellent service and this cat ...❤️

One of the best coffee places in the area, not only because of great coffee and pastries, but also because of the cats :)

Very cosy place with amazing staff! Loved the vibe and of course the coffee. Can highly recommend to wind down here and take a little break

Sehr leckerer Kaffee und das Bananenbrot muss sich auch nicht verstecken 🤤

A nice buzzy cafe. Friendly staff who even gave us an extra cake as they ran out of whipped cream for the apple pie. Very much appreciated ☺️

Leuk tentje voor een koffiedate. De inrichting doet huiskamer-achtig aan en de cafekat maakt dat plaatje helemaal af. Lekkere koffie en ook de appeltaart was prima, tevens een fijne playlist (soul, Stevie Wonder, etc). Je moet je koffie wel zelf bestellen aan de bar, vervolgens wordt die wel naar je tafel gebracht. Er zijn ook wat zitjes buiten in de kleine binnentuin.

This is my local coffee house, and it is everything I could ever want and more!!! The staff are genuinely friendly and Happy to be there. Art from local artists adorns the walls. Bonky, the resident cat, likes to curl up on your lap.

The coffee is truly spectacular, but skip the pastries. I tried the cardamom one.

Delicious coffee. Great offerings of bakery items, quiche and sandwiches. Staff was friendly and helpful. Sat at outside tables on a sunny day.

Great coffee, great lunch and friendly service. An easy pit stop or a place to chill for hours on end. One of the best cafes in the area. 🔥

Fijne tent! Alles klopt: de vriendelijke bediening (zelf bestellen aan de bar) houdt de vaart erin; fijne sfeer; uitstekende koffie (baristakwaliteit), mooi gepresenteerd ook; o.a. voortreffelijke appeltaart; meestal qua drukte goed te doen.

Mostly crowded but cosy place and good coffee

A delicious coffee, properly extracted coffee that's full of flavour, along with an absolutely delicious Espresso Brownie makes this a highlighted recommendation from me. They even have a Cafe cat!

Cozy and nice atmosphere. A perfect spot for speciality coffee lovers. The staff are welcomingand friendly. I had flat white and V60.

A cozy cafe in the neighborhood, you can work, chat and read with the black coffee beans 🫘

Nice Roastery, nice coffee and really good conversations with the barista

Ein schön gestaltes Cafe in dem auch eine Katze herumstolziert, den Apfelkuchen sollte man definitiv probiert haben!!

Trendy coffee bar with good coffee, tea and cakes.

LGBT friendly spot, love it. Coffee is good and try the apple pie!!!

Very good Coffee, served in the most beautiful way!!!!!

Cozy and friendly cafe frequented by locals. There is a big live-edge table down the middle of the seating area that serves as a community table and some other seating around the perimeter. Staff and customers were all so friendly! Coffee was tasty, though my cappuccino was a bit heavy on the liquid milk. Highly recommended.

It’s our favourite neighbourhood cafe. Very local crowd. The coffee is very good and the pastry always fresh and delicious. Don’t miss it when visiting the neighbourhood…

Een van mijn favo koffietentjes in Amsterdam. Erg fijne sfeer, leuke mensen en de koffie is echt heerlijk. Bonus: als je koffiebonen koopt, malen ze het voor jouw zetwijze

Kijk hoe chill die kat is. Zo chill is deze plek.

Café chaleureux et cosy, parfait pour une halte durant une visite d'Amsterdam. Le service et les mets sont agréables, mention spéciale au vrai chocolat chaud et au petit chat qui s'y balade librement.

Vaak druk en vol maar wel altijd heerlijke koffie.

Great place with pleasant atmosphere. Prices for food are very comfortable, for coffee are higher, but it's worth it :))

Coffee spot to be if you like cats, good coffee and lemon-berry cakes 😉

Super lekkere koffie & relaxte sfeer.

A great place to sip a delicious oat milk cappuccino.

Prima tent in huiskamersfeer. Goed hete koffie ☕ en een lekkere tosti. Heerlijk sausje bij die tosti trouwens!

Love this place! Really kind service and delicious coffee options in a cozy place with lovely ambiance and a resident kitty. What more could we ask for?
