Bocca Coffee. in Grachtengordel-Zuid

Today I bought freshly roasted "Soulmate" beans for the first time because I ordered a Sage Barista Express espresso machine. I immediately ordered espresso on the go because I was really curious about the taste. Wow, I've never had such a good espresso. It was almost syrupy, chocolatey, and very dark, just what I wanted. I'll be a regular customer from now on.

I've been to several cafes in Amsterdam, and this one has been my favorite. Why? ☕️ - They have a spacious seating area. You can use your laptop at some of their round tables. - The coffee is specialty coffee, and they roast it themselves. I recommend the LA DONNA variety for the oatmeal coffee. - They use ROA oat milk, which I haven't seen in many places, and it tastes amazing. - Water is available to take to your table in large pitchers. - Nuria's service was fantastic; the experience was wonderful, and she gave us great recommendations. I did wish they had a wider selection of pastries for breakfast, but the bread with cheese was delicious. - The prices are similar to other places in Amsterdam. A cappuccino is €3.80. - They're open from 8 am to 6 pm almost every day.

Not a perfect atmosphere but perfect flat white

Best specialty coffee in Amsterdam. The place is very comfortable for relaxing with a book or working for a while. Nuria gave us excellent service. We had a hot chocolate and she recommended two delicious coffee varieties. We'll be back!

This is my second time here during my 4-night vacation in Amsterdam. I can genuinely say that it had been a long time since I drank a good latte until I visited this cafe. The atmosphere is also pretty nice; even if there is no music inside, I can enjoy the moment and easily talk without any problems.

Very disappointed with the behavior of one staff member (a red-haired girl). Unfriendly attitude, unpleasant facial expressions and strange behavior. For a place where people come to enjoy coffee and a good mood, this kind of service is unacceptable. Especially disappointing considering that the rest of the staff were polite.

no love for coffee from the barista, closing early and limiting choice of beans because they dont want to open new one

The place itself is cool, but there are far too few seats available and the service wasn't very good. We were seated at a table where the drinks of the other guests weren't cleared away.

One of top coffee shops in Amsterdam in my opinion. Great coffee, plenty of seating and nice atmosphere.

The salesgirls were awful. No smiles whatsoever. A blonde woman kissing her husband while you were ordering. I came for breakfast this morning. I will never come again!!

I grabbed a coffee for work on Tuesday, December 9th, as I've been doing for months at this place. Initially, there was no staff present. After waiting at the counter for a while, a tall, thin, blonde woman came and angrily asked, "Yeah, what do you want?" Then I tried to scan my stamp card and she asked, "Are you going to stamp or not?" She looked very angry and mean. I went in very cheerful but came out grumpy, so I apparently paid to leave feeling sour. Seriously, I'm never coming back here after I've filled my stamp card; I felt awful all day.

Delicious flat white coffee, chocolate croissant, and cheese croissant.

Coffee and sweets taste good, but space i think is lacking organization: 1) its a huge area but with a very few seats. 2) Also, probably they are understaffed because waiting time for coffee is up to 10 min. 3) They have a table with menu but no prices mentioned- so you basically order without knowing how much you gonna pay

Today (Nov. 29) I went to Bocca in Amsterdam with my girlfriend for a cappuccino, but unfortunately, it was very disappointing. The milk was weak and watery and not well-frothed at all. I also noticed that the barista didn't purge the steam wand (not draining the water first) before frothing the milk, nor did he steam it out after. As a result, a layer of water initially formed in the milk, which you can taste in the cup. For a place like Bocca, and for the price you pay, I expect much more attention to technology and quality. This cappuccino was absolutely not worth the money. I hope this will be taken seriously, because I come here for good coffee.

Really lovely spot - food, drinks and vibe. Plenty of seating.

Look, I’ve had coffee in thousands of places, but the moment I stepped into this one, I immediately regretted it. It took an absurd amount of time just to get a simple coffee, and what I finally received was a tiny cup that definitely wasn’t worth the price. The real issue here is the service. I understand that people get tired, and that working long shifts, especially in winter, is tough. But there is still a basic level of professionalism you expect when you walk into a café, and that was completely missing. The staff seemed uninterested and unwelcoming, and the whole atmosphere felt off. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend this place for coffee at all. Amsterdam has so many better options where you will get proper service and a decent drink. This is simply not one of them.

The space is wide and pleasant, the staff friendly but the coffees disappointing from a place of presumed high quality

Nice coffee. Pleasant atmosphere. Staff less friendly and welcoming

It's usually very busy, but that's no surprise: the coffee is delicious. I usually have a cappuccino here, and it's always excellent. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the staff is super friendly. It's just a shame that some customers order one cup of coffee and then stay for half a day.

Delicious coffee! Highly recommended.

The V60 coffee is good, and for Europe it could be considered excellent.

Very big place and great coffee 😍😍

An isolated coffee shop with limited number of products, large enough but without personality. Coffee is ok.

my iced matcha was nice, good matcha flavor, but I was disappointed by the customer friendliness. the girl helping me was quite rude and it felt like she didn’t want to help me. it is really not that difficult to just say ( for example ) hello and have a nice day. just the lack of respect made my experience less pleasant than it could’ve been.

Unfortunately my coffee tasting got cancelled but Damien was super accommodating and offered a free coffee, bag of coffee and a refund. Plus really good selection of home brewed coffee.

Love this place. Best coffee and very nice sittings. Took the matcha this time that was good as well.

We found Bocca via Google as it had high ratings in the area. Personally, I couldn’t see the hype for it. A huge, huge space for a coffee shop. It felt more like a university cafe. I had a hot chocolate and whilst they spend a good time and effort on your drinks, the hot chocolate was not that great. This was evidenced with all the big bits of chocolate at the bottom of my mug at the finish. A nice little stop to warm us up but not the most cosy and warm, especially with people leaving the door open every 10 seconds. Thank you for our experience. 💫

Nice and cozy coffee spot ☕️ They have a separate sitting area with comfy couches where you can really relax and enjoy your coffee. The layout is quite unique with the bar in the centre, giving the place a special vibe. You can also buy their coffee beans here — a great touch for home brewing lovers.

Delicious coffee and wonderful coffee-smell as soon as you enter. But cinnamon bun dough was almost raw

Really cool vibe, lots of space and very clean. Lots of choices of beans. Espresso, came out very hot. Lovely colours on the crème. Great everyday espresso 4/5

Good coffee and excellent atmosphere, but I've had better coffee in Amsterdam.

Great beans, fantastic cappuccino

Good coffee and tasty pastry, away from crowds. Nice after a long museum visit

Excellent espresso. They really got it dialed in.

Great beans, fantastic cappuccino

Spacious coffee bar with excellent coffee.

Kind, smiling and customer-oriented staff who gladly helps you choose the beans you want for your coffee. The coffee is well balanced. if you’re a swede like me the coffee is a tiny bit on the mild side and not so strong but it doesn’t take away the lovely flavours of the beans and handcraft from the baristas. Good volume on music and a nice atmosphere in the café. The café is big but it’s not too many seats available and for that, Bocca gets a 4/5 stars instead of a 5.

I ordered a cappuccino with oat milk, I really liked it, the flavor was excellent, also very good service, I recommend this place to have a delicious coffee

very chill study environment. its big inside

Very cozy place, cafes with options of different beans. I tried the pain au chocolat and the strawberry cheesecake, everything was great! I also liked the playlist, playing Mac DeMarco ☕🎶 😊

Sweet specialty coffee in Amsterdam, we came late and there is nothing but coffee

The coffee is very delicious. We tried the cappuccino with coconut milk and the filter coffee, and they were all worth it.

Great place for breakfast. Very well-made cappuccino. Everything is high quality.

The place is nice and the coffee is great but the staff are not good!

Really good coffee here. The place is bright and spacious, with plenty of room to sit and relax. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the drinks tasted great. It can get a little busy at times, but overall it’s one of the nicer cafés I visited in Amsterdam. Would definitely come back.

Excellent coffee, very pleasant and cozy environment.

Great v60 coffee and service was very friendly. Nice coffee bar. Would definitely recommend this place.

Good coffee but not the best. Multiple sessions.

Really good coffee, and nice place to chill for a bit.

I ordered an iced long black, but when I asked for a latte, he said, “Adonno.”

Stopped by this café with a friend and loved it! I had a matcha and she had a cappuccino, both were absolutely delicious, honestly the best coffee we’ve had in a long time. Super cozy spot, great vibe, and definitely a place I’ll be coming back to!

One of the best coffees in Amsterdam!

Great place to work from and enjoy delicious coffee

The latte was okay. The pecan pie was really sweet and delicious. Pecan pie tastes just like Amsterdam!

By far my favorite café is in Amsterdam. The coffee here is particularly good, and the staff is always very nice and friendly.

Had a great v60 filter coffee at Bocca. Loved the way they serve it. The cafe has a cozy modern interior which makes it a pleasure to spend time in.

Very cool, top café and atmosphere here and thank goodness also a toilet 🙏

The zen and welcoming atmosphere alone makes the place worth the detour. But if I tell you that you can also enjoy one of the best espressos in Amsterdam (and I'm not even talking about the incredible mate cookie at lunchtime to accompany it), you just have to make a little detour from the central artery to try it for yourself!

The barista is very rude and he barely does his job😕

This was super disappointing :( after all the great reviews I had high hopes but I watched the barista pull my shot, do other stuff for a while, and come back a few minutes later to steam the milk for my latte - the shot had already sat and expired for several minutes and the ratio of coffee to milk wasn’t good. Unfortunately, when I visited, the staff didn’t seem to care much for the drinks they were preparing and you could taste it. Cosy, Nordic atmosphere but overall would not recommend this place :/

Relaxed café with minimalist decor. The tea wasn't anything special.

good coffee delicious pecan pie

We enjoyed our flat white €4.2 each Has multiple branches across Amsterdam They also have choices of pastry And sell their own coffee beans They have a workplace for €7 Spacious place for a cafe. **Beans are a bit dark roasted

One of the best places to get a great coffee or tea. A bit hidden, but a super cute place with a great atmosphere and truly amazing coffee.

Expensive and not worth it, just a waste of money

It's a small cafe from the outside, but it's really big and spacious from the inside, and the seating is varied. They have all kinds of coffee and V60, but the service is very slow. We tried the V60 and it was really good. It's worth a visit, and its price is 7 euros, and they don't take extra charge for ice 👍🏻

The coffee was excellent, and the atmosphere really added to the overall experience. Definitely worth a visit for anyone who appreciates a good cup of coffee!

What a lovely place! We had a delicious black iced coffee and their version of a coffee tonic (the name of which I've forgotten). The staff was friendly. Plenty of seating, despite the crowds. And the pecan pies were delicious too! A lot of sugar, yes, but so good!

The place is big and nice, but their coffee isn't that great. We tried the flat white and the cappuccino. The taste of the coffee is light, as if you were drinking water.

A relaxing experience in the center of Amsterdam

really like coffe, something new, top personal

Great coffee and snacks, really welcoming environment

I ordered four things in Dutch, and the non-Dutch-speaking person at the counter ruined two of them. Such a shame. I understand that there are also non-Dutch speakers in Amsterdam, but I'd rather they let me know so we can switch to the language they understand, than have them take my order and then ruin it. Oh well... the chocolate milk was really bad, too.

One of my favorite coffee spots in the center of Amsterdam. Bocca is super cosy, with plenty of comfortable seating options, perfect for catching up with friends or just relaxing. I had a flat white, and it was just how I like it: strong and well-made. It had a slightly sour note, which isn’t quite my thing, but that’s definitely a personal preference. The barista was friendly, added a lovely latte art, and served it all with a smile. I’ve been coming here for a few years now and have also bought their beans for home brewing – always great quality. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a solid coffee stop with a chill vibe in the heart of Amsterdam.

Great and affordable batch brew. And free tap water, I think!

Joli café, mais expérience désagréable. J’ai demandé un cappuccino (bon), que j’ai été régler directement à la caisse pour aller plus vite. Puis nous avons quitté le café, ma fille et moi. La serveuse m’a suivie dans la rue pour me demander si j’avais payé l’addition puis accuser ma fille d’avoir demandé elle aussi une boisson alors qu’il n’en n’était rien! Ce n’est quand même pas la faute au client si les tables sont communautaires. Autrement dit, quelqu’un met sa tasse devant vous par mégarde et le service vient vous dire que c’est vous qui avez passé commande et devez donc payer. Manque total de professionnalisme et d’éducation. Je ne recommande pas du tout ce lieu.

The coffee is alright , however the service is very poor. The ice coffee is lack of enough ice and flavor isn’t strong enough . I don’t like it is card only service . It’s very inconvenient.

It’s a very popular cafe so be ready to wait a little if you want to be seated. But it’s worth it. The team is very friendly, the service is fast and the coffee is excellent.

Perfect espresso tonic, stylish place

Best coffee shop in Amsterdam. I ordered a flat white which was poured perfectly. Came out the right consistency and temperature. My husband ordered an iced latte which was super tasty. The interior is modern with lots of spaces to sit inside followed by a bench outside. They have a good selection of homemade pastries and Waldo cakes. I had a Waldo raspberry cheesecake which was insane!

We had four cappuccinos, a chocolate chip cookie and strawberry cheese cake. The food was really good, the cappuccinos could have been hotter for being freshly made but overall they were good. We arrived at 130 in the afternoon and there was plenty of seating and a chill atmosphere

A small café with a very elegant setting, well-decorated, bright, and pleasant. The mineral and modern ambiance makes you want to sit down. However, the prices are a little high for what's on offer. A perfect place for a chic break... if you're willing to pay the price.

Delicious coffee, friendly staff, and very spacious. A very pleasant experience.

Wonderful coffee shop. The staff was very nice and let me tell you - that was the BEST pistachio croissant I have ever had.

Wide choice of coffee, great quality. Cosy atmosphere

There Was No filter, no iced drinks, no batch brew, no Hand Brew. They have 3 beans which they didn’t bother to offer for my drink. Too Hyped.

Iced latte was amazing! I went twice during my short trip in Amsterdam- a must try for any coffee fan who wants to buy Bocca beans too 🫶🏼

The coffee was good, but the sweets were a bit too sweet to my liking.

Chill and welcoming with a strong and delicious coffee. They roast on premises giving the space a functional factory meets aesthetically loft-like vibe.

Really nice place. It’s a huge coffee shop by Amsterdam standards. Very nice coffee too. Highly recommend.

The coffee is very bad. The quality of the coffee is very bad for coffee connoisseurs. Don't even think about ordering V60 from them. The behavior of one of the employees is very bad. I do not recommend it at all.

Great service, spacious, athmosphere, free water on a hot day

Excellent specialty coffee. I recommend you visit it if you are in Amsterdam. 10/10 👍🏻

Very large open space indoors with great coffee

Good cappuccino and great selection of coffee. I got some beans to try at home. Baristas could be more friendly.

good coffee , bad customers literally ppl took a glass water and a damn laptop and invading chairs for hours... sad for the business...

Good coffee, spacious place but not a lot of seating

Awful client attention, very rude staff

This review is not about the coffee or food, which I never had the chance to try. My one-star rating is solely for the utterly disgraceful lack of service and respect I received from the staff. I stood at the counter for several minutes, completely ignored by the baristas. What's worse, assuming I didn't understand their language, they began openly mocking me and continued their personal conversation. The atmosphere created by this kind of behavior was incredibly unwelcoming and frankly, quite hostile. There are countless excellent coffee shops in this area that offer both quality beverages and, more importantly, decent and respectful service. I strongly advise taking your business elsewhere. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Baristas never seem to smile. I agree with the previous comments . The atmosphere isn’t so good, but maybe it’s fine for other people. For me, it’s not cozy. Not at all.
