Coffee District Hendrik Jacobszstraat in Willemspark

Great coffee, really nice pastry, fast and friendly service. They also sell retail bag which is great

Fantastic americano and pistachio gruffin. Good atmosphere and friendly. Highly recommended.

Lovely friendly girls, excellent coffee. They give me a special limited edition women’s day beans they had available. Really enjoy the playlist too!

Not the friendliest service when you walk in, but nothing too bad. Nice space and area to sit and have a coffee. Coffee isn’t the best. Bitter and unpleasant taste, therefore doesn’t match the price.

Delicious coffee, and great relaxed atmosphere.

Having the whole cafe be “laptop free” is kinda ridiculous in 2025. Coffee is okay but there are better places

This place has been greatly managed by the girls who are here on a full time basis. I don't have many spots in Amsterdam I feel like going but I found myself here every day off I have just to journal and appreciate the energy here. The girls are always welcoming and smart working. Lot61 roasts also are one of the few ones in the past year that kept interesting because everywhere else roast is flat or underdeveloped. Here is the only place I can come for some interesting brews. And they have great prices for what you get.

A few months ago this place took over the wonderful reviews, style and location of what used to be Coffee District. Sadly, the quality of Lot61 is way less. It's not bad coffee, but not great either. The neighbourhood offers better options.

This place has changed for the worse since changing from Coffee District to Lot 61. The service is very slow these days and the coffee quality not as good. Still a solid coffee but nothing special.

The café has a cozy atmosphere and the service is great. I tried their latte - which was okay. A nice spot for a casual coffee break—I’d be happy to stop by again!

Had a Matcha latte for the first time, but with chocolate. Not really my thing. But hey it's 2025 so let's discover new places, taste dishes and drinks and have new experiences.

If you buy the coffee beans, which are quite pricey already and you are asked to give an automated tip, while you also need to grab the coffee beans yourself then…

Delicious double espresso for an un-Amsterdam good price!

Significant reduction in quality of coffee, baked goods and service since transitioning from Coffee District to LOT61. The attention to detail is gone. It’s a shame… used to be one of my favourite spots but certainly not anymore

Always a pleasant vibe and good espresso

Nice coffee, but rock music not my taste xD

UPD: Review is about this place when it was Coffee District. Very nice coffee place, tasty cinnamon buns and almond croissants! Coffee is good too, can vouch for filter and matcha

Located at the same place where was the Coffee district. Nothing really changed. Good coffee and nice personnel.

Bombora coffee is the best! Great team, very friendly. ❤️

This place transitioned into Lot61 2 months ago. Before that, it was “coffee district”. The new team at Lot61 is slow, not efficient and not as friendly or welcoming as the team of Coffee District.. I am missing Coffee District a lot and their friendliness..

This place used to be a favourite in the neighbourhood when it was under the old owners, and also my favourite coffee in Amsterdam. I decided to give LOT61 a try as I am not trying to be judgemental and I enjoy trying new places all the time. The coffee (i got a latte) was really bad, very bitter and the milk was burned (you could taste that it was frothed too long). We got some of their baked goods also and they were stale, not sure if they were even baked the same day. The matcha here used to be great, I refrained from trying the new one as the powder looked washed and not as good quality matcha. Unfortunately I will not be coming back soon.

Spacious place but not very bright. Not the best matcha or coffee but very good cookies and friendly service.

Awesome desserts. Cappuccino I had was somewhat bitter. I’ll give another chance next time.

Coffee tastes worse than it was under the previous establishment, Coffee District. It's either watery or milk tastes slightly burnt and pastries are dry any time of day. It is a pity, I enjoyed grabbing a coffee and a snack and walking in Vondelpark

Lot 61 - great vibes! I was initially drawn to the name because it reminded me of a cool club I used to frequent in NYC in the late ’90s. With the owners being ‘raised in Brooklyn,’ I wonder if it’s the same reference – unless it’s Dutch Brooklyn, which would be a nice coincidence! Either way, the friendly staff and fresh-tasting coffee made for a great experience. And the cinnamon bun? on point. * laptop free zone

Later edit: this used to be my favorite place for coffee and matcha, but since the owners changed, it’s not the same anymore, unfortunately. Matcha more watery and not as tasty as it used to be. Just an average matcha. From 5 stars to 3 :/

Perfect speciality coffee, perfect présentation, beautiful cups, great inside.

Since the new owners came in, the place is such a disappointment. The coffee tastes more watery and sour, and I noticed they heat the same milk 3 times sometimes. No wonder I experienced burned mouth and hands from holding the to-go cup. I even asked them to make it not too hot, and it still was way too hot. I also wonder whether their croissants are baked fresh in the morning because they don’t taste fresh at all. Also, they only have a staff of 2, instead of 3 or 4 with the previous owners. Even when there is barely a line it takes 10-15 minutes for them to make a coffee. With these waiting times it may well worth it to go to one of the other locations of the previous owners. You can take over a business but you can’t take over the heart and soul if you’re being cheap.

This use to be my favourite coffee spot but new ownership lacks the level of service and atmosphere I experienced in the past

I've been coming here for a long time, and I can always get predictably good coffee here. Delicious desserts. Sometimes the atmosphere suffers due to the large number of people with laptops.

amazing service, i dropped my coffee and the person working there, maybe it was the manager or owner gave me a new one for free, i was speechless, Dankjewel ❤️❤️

Nice coffee and pastries. Friendly staff

Incredible coffee and amazing pastries. Recommend the apple cinnamon square and the cookies!

Excellent coffee, excellent pastries!

Best coffee in Amsterdam in my opinion, with great cookies and sweets to go with it. Only thing I was missing is service, as you need to order in the counter. Sadly it is also not laptop-friendly, even on the less busy times.

Awesome coffee and very nice pastry

Inside of the cafe is so spacious and very bright. I think it might be a good cafe to study. I grabbed an iced latte to go, the portion is very big and it was 4,20. Good coffee!!

Delicious coffee! Only one out of 11 pastries was vegan though.

Very kind servants and the Coffee is really good.

Best dirty chai in Amsterdam and great prices and selection!

Very welcoming and relaxing place. The cappuccinos were good, the Crossaint too, except the apple cake in which there were no apples. Despite this, a recommended place for a breakfast with friends!

Love their bakery, friendly staff. But the place is quite noisy which makes it difficult to make a conversation with your friends.

Delicious cakes and top coffee with a beautiful view!

Absolutely hate your ‘no laptop’ rule

Loved my coffee with oatmilk and Cookie. Juuum really

One of our best holiday finds. We wish we had Coffee District in our own neighbourhood. Fantastic service and some of the best coffee we've ever had.

Great place with good design, delicious pastry and nice service. I liked lime bread, it was very good. There are enough space and out of rush hours it’s allowed to come with laptop.

Best place for coffee and matcha in Amsterdam 💙 I come here every day

Finally checked out this location! The place is cozy and staff were very friendly. Good coffee as always but today’s cinnamon bun was a bit over baked.

Excellent coffee, good pastries and a nice Scandinavian vibe. Seems to be quite busy so don't bank on being able to sit in without hanging around a bit. We went back two days in a row, knowing that we couldn't find better coffee anywhere nearby

Good sweets and good coffee. They serve coffee from well known Dutch roasters. Staff is knowledgeable, I got some good recommendations. 5/5.

The matcha latte they serve is too grassy in my opinion :,) Interior is really cute tho

People with allergies or food sensitivities beware! Nice service, but no almond milk or other nut milks is irresponsible in this day and age when the harm of oat milk for people with glucose sensitivity or soy milk are very prevalent.

The oat milk cappuccino and pastries are delicious—a cosy atmosphere to enjoy coffee alone or with friends.

Nice coffee, nice place to sit. Drank matcha and americano with a cinnamon bun

Absolutely delicious coffee! The cinnamon bun and lemon poppy cake was amazing as well!

Googled for "work cafe" and this came up, ordered my thee and cookie, sat down & grabbed my laptop for then them to tell me there is a "no laptop policy" on the weekend (I also wasn't the only one this happened to). Didn't say this no where in or outside the cafe, maybe something you could think of to write down.

Delicious espresso, tasty poppyseed cake and good recommendations regarding speciality coffee beans for home.

Loved the no laptop tables. A place to focus or enjoy each other's company

Floris has been a permanent fixture at CD since the late summer of 2020. This morning his delicate welcome cheered me up. Lovely to be served by a grounded, kind and well-meaning earnest barista and human being behind a counter. Such caliber in the food and beverages industries is very rare. The icebreaker: "every time a surprise where the pin is..." while I went on a first and only coffee date. Bram, Julie, Julia, Yannick, Lucia, Five people in a row who convey family happiness. Even if they have to make 707 coffees in one working day and tell ten people that their public auditions for Holland's Got Talent were great, they still serve me with the most human face they have in house. There are actual human interactions behind that counter. Those superseeds are even the finest roasted coffee beans in town. CD welcomes me. Whichever hat I'm wearing. I'm a little like the cat in the shopping window. In the rather exclusive reserve that is Oud Zuid CD is a rare treat. It's a delightful bird's nest if you encounter a small world along a street you might not otherwise step into, in which you're welcome, as you are, how you are, as long as you're basically clothed. You're welcome, and welcomed, listened to and accompanied by a sort of embrace for which neither the mum or the dad of the specialty shop are needed to oversee whatever happens inside. The place and it's visiting birds are looked after, sometimes personally given attention to, whether asked for or not. That... is weird, in a time dominated by screens, screen players and screensavers. Be happy, Take a Coffee District Sip. DG

Nicest coffee shop in Amsterdam!

Cute café with good coffee. There was a machine making noise all time so made it impossible to fully feel at ease, I expected more calmness, but overall good.

This coffee shop exceeded my expectations in every way. The coffee is truly exceptional, boasting the highest quality beans expertly brewed to perfection. Each sip was a delightful journey of rich flavors and aromatic bliss. What sets this place apart, though, is the incredibly friendly atmosphere. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome, creating a warm and inviting environment. Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or just looking for a friendly place to enjoy a cup, this coffee shop stands out for its unparalleled blend of top-notch coffee and welcoming ambiance.

Amazing place, great atmosphere. Best coffee in town!

Local gem alert! This cozy coffee haven near me is my weekend indulgence. Coffee and matcha latte? A delight! Latte art is on point, and the cinnamon bun is a sweet tooth's dream. Just a short stroll from VondelPark, it buzzes during peak hours, but fear not—most opt for takeout. Heads up: some tables are a no-PC zone, so it's more for sipping than studying. Highly recommended for a tasty retreat!

Quickly becoming one of my favorite cafes in Amsterdam - coffee is excellent, pastries are amazing and, although it’s usually busy, the staff is always friendly & kind. reminds me of coffee culture back in Seattle - and it’s one of the rare spots open at 7:30 am… such a gem!

Delicious oat latte and this location is beautiful and bigger than I expected so when you go, order in and stay a while with a book! Annnnd have I mentioned the fresh cinnamon buns?

Very nice cafe in a beautiful location with great speciality coffee.

Best place to have a coffee and something sweet to coffee.. Thank you for atmosphere and gluten-free mafin) My recommendations to visit 👍

Great coffee!! Amazing pastries!! Hidden and tucked away gem! My favorite

I love to come here! Great coffee and vibe.

Nice place, one of many. Our pasties were not exceptional

Пожалуй, это единственное место в Амстердаме где всегда получаешь предсказуемо хороший напиток. Бываю тут минимум 2 раза в неделю. Этот филиал намного удобнее и комфортнее. Тихая улица, без очередей, персонал работает быстро и слажено. Мне нравится здесь матча латте. 4 из 5. Из за комочков, но я все равно буду продолжать сюда ходить. Приличный фильтр кофе. В будние можно поработать за ноутбуком (под это дело выделено несколько столов). Из минусов, все время не хватает стаканов для воды и уборная, могла бы быть почище.

Muhteşem bir küçük cafe. Kahveleri harika, nata’sı harika, hele kuruvasanları.. Tatmadan Amsterdam tatilinizi tamamlamayın.

The plain and chocolate croissants are delicious, but it's hard to say the same for the nata, which smells of egg.

Great coffee with incredible delicious pastries.

Great little cafe with outstanding coffee. We loved our decaf oat milk cappuccinos and will come back for sure!

The first location of Coffee District exudes an inviting charm, manifesting as a clean and distinctly friendly specialty coffee haven in the heart of Amsterdam Oud-Zuid. The welcoming staff ensures a pleasant experience, always serving with a smile. Its popularity often leads to bustling mornings. On particularly busy days, I occasionally opt to skip my coffee rather than navigate the crowd. However, this hasn't stopped it from being my primary pick for top-notch specialty coffee beans for my brews at home. While the ambience is perfect for a quick coffee break, the acoustics don't lend themselves for longer meetings or in-depth conversations. It's more a spot to enjoy your caffeine fix and then head out. The pastry selection is thoughtfully curated, covering a spectrum of tastes. A personal favorite is their vegan banana bread — a delightful treat, even if it is priced on the premium side. In summary, Coffee District stands out for its premium beans, cleanliness, and amiable staff. It's a great spot for those in search of quality coffee, but be wary of peak times and keep meetings for quieter venues.

Ottimo caffè Proprietari molto cortesi Andateci !!

Uitstekende koffie en de beste cinnamon bun in de stad.

מקום קטן עם אווירה נעימה ומרגיעה , קפה מצויין , ומאפים טעימים.

Erg zuid, niet echt veel sfeer. Prima koffie wel, niet bijzonder

The best cappuccino you’ll have in Amsterdam. All pastries I’ve tasted are very good (chocolate chip cookies are the best). I wish there were more savory options though.

Very nice place to sit and have coffee and pastry. The owners are super nice but the staff recently seem have to been in a bad mood.

The cakes and coffee are very good. The guy who seems to be the manager (only passing for food delivery and quick check) is very nice, but the rest of the team is not nice at all. Especially the girl with very long hair, we can even say that she is rude. It is sad as you expect from a place like to be friendly and you are well received but it is the contrary, you even feel you have to be sorry to be there. And I didn’t say that after one time, I gave this place many tries as I like their coffees.

One of the better places in the neighborhood for coffee and pastries.
