De Koffiemolen Alkmaar in Centrum

Amazing coffee and cakes ! Chai latte is definitely the best , super friendly staff , love to come here for my everyday coffee.

Always nice and busy here, but delicious and healthy food.

A cozy hospitality venue. Good coffee and enthusiastic waitresses

A lovely café with a strong clean-girl aesthetic – while the atmosphere is bustling. The seating is a bit cramped, and it can get a little noisy, but the music is pleasantly quiet and catchy. I was also impressed by the breakfast selection: even if you're vegetarian or vegan, there are plenty of great options, such as vegan feta. If you're in the mood for a hearty, yet truly fresh breakfast, I highly recommend the De Koffiemolen avocado toast with extra tomatoes (see picture). 🥑🍅 And the strawberry pancakes are definitely worth trying: wonderfully fluffy, satisfying, but not at all heavy or filling. They come with fantastic dips – simply delicious!

Spent a quiet morning in Alkmaar with friends. The food and drinks were incredibly delicious 🤤 and the team was very friendly too. It was busy, but luckily they have a whole floor upstairs with beautiful tables. Our friends went straight there for a second round the next day and loved it! Definitely recommended, whether for a nice cup of coffee and a piece of cake or a cozy lunch with a group.

A really nice spot for a delicious breakfast, lunch, or brunch. Tasty food on the menu and good coffee ♥️

Delish breakfast! The Smoothie Bowl and Yogurt Bowl we're both very tasty. Coffee and service were both excellent. Thank you!

What a lovely place, beautifully decorated, friendly staff, delicious food. And lots of choice, which is almost a shame because we live too far away to try everything! If we are ever in Alkmaar again, we will definitely go back.

This place is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a great breakfast or a fantastic coffee. The service is always friendly and the food arrives incredibly quickly – I highly recommend Koffiemolen. Plus, both the food and drinks are extremely Instagrammable – they simply look amazing!

What a fantastic place! The beautiful building has been completely renovated inside and decorated with incredible taste. The result is certainly impressive! The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and sociable. And the breakfast we had was truly of exceptional quality. What a gem! Highly recommended. 😁

Service can at times be a little bit slow. But it is always busy which is a great sign and i understand why because my Turkish eggs were sensational

I visit De Koffiemolen regularly and I think it's great. The atmosphere is cozy and the staff is very friendly. This is definitely highly recommended!

Very cozy coffee shop in a nice location! Always a good atmosphere and the staff is very friendly 😉

We had breakfast here and were absolutely delighted. The breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented. We especially recommend the bowls with Greek yogurt and the avocado toast. The cappuccino and hot chocolate were also excellent. Even though it was quite busy, we didn't have to wait long at all and were served promptly and courteously. The restaurant is modern and beautifully decorated, making you feel right at home. Our dogs were also welcome, which was another big plus for us. For us, the whole package was perfect – a fantastic breakfast, a lovely atmosphere, and great service. Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back!

Had a wonderful time sitting and eating at the nicest & tastiest coffee shop in Alkmaar. Great service too!!!

Nice place, but it was very busy and the staff didn't seem to care about their work. Waited for a very long time and was eventually taken home because the waitstaff were busy with everything except serving people.

Unfortunately, there is no space to work upstairs with a laptop during the week; the tables are too small. It used to be better.

When we are in Alkmaar, this is the go-to place, always top-notch.

Very disappointing experience. Had to wait for more than half an hour while others who arrived later were served sooner. During that time, I was completely ignored, without any explanation or update. This is not the service you should expect. Very unfortunate.

Top service! You have to visit!

A relaxing place with delicious and fresh cakes and very affordable prices. Between wandering around the small streets of Alkmaar, the right place to rest

What a nice place this is! It feels cozy as soon as you step inside. We were served quickly, the service is friendly, and we didn't have to wait too long for our meal. The smoothie bowls are filling and taste delicious!

Really beautiful place! Had a delicious lunch. Coffee served nicely. Personally, I would serve homemade cookies with the coffee. But really top-notch!

Great young, motivated team. Delicious breakfast and tasty coffee. A café where you immediately feel at home.

Cute café in Alkmar with delicious sandwiches, great cakes and a lovely atmosphere 🤩

A great café, a little off the beaten track – but right in the heart of Alkmaar. The service was excellent. The food we had was absolutely delicious and incredibly fresh. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be back.

A truly lovely café in Alkmaar with an (air-conditioned) interior and some outdoor seating. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The coffee specialties and food are excellent. Everything is just right, and you feel completely at ease. Highly recommended!

It was lovely to enjoy a delicious bowl and a cup of coffee (cappuccino) in the afternoon. It tasted very good and it was delightful sitting in the sun. The bowl was very filling, nicely presented, and tasted delicious. A nice place to sit more often.

We had a super delicious and healthy breakfast here 🙏🏼 The coffee was excellent. Thank you so much! ☺️ It was just quite noisy. But that's not something you can easily control 🫢

Good selection and great service

A really nice and tasty little spot for breakfast, lunch, or just a cup of coffee (or tea). They have so many nice and delicious choices.

Great service, the food was delicious, the drink selection was excellent and tasty, highly recommended.

Very nice coffee place. Even gluten free selections. Nice staff. A little delayed with the coffee though. We waited quite awhile. Nice place to sit outside.

Cool vibe, good food, good coffee and incredibly delicious cakes, etc. By far my favorite spot in Alkmaar!

The place to be for morning coffee!

We had a super delicious meal here! Everything is prepared fresh and is very reasonably priced! You will definitely see us back here more often. The only downside is that it was quite busy on the weekend, but even then, De Koffiemolen is more than worth a visit!

Good coffee. Relaxing outside on benches on both sides of a street where only the occasional cyclist rides past.

Previously a very nice spot for flexible working with a laptop on the first floor. Unfortunately, after the renovation there is not much space left (round tables, small bar ledge), so unfortunately I had to look for another place for this.

Good coffee, great food with huge portions and super nice service!

Such hospitality... And the Crispy Chili thingy is really delicious!

Had a nice cup of coffee with a pastry

Friendly service. Delicious carrot cake! It's a shame that the piece of cake was cut just as thick as a slice of sponge cake. It couldn't even stand upright. False economy. The quality of the whipped cream could be much better.

I've eaten the pumpkin sandwich here before, but it's really so delicious I just had to have it again!! It's a really nice place to have a coffee or just a nice lunch, but I think it gets very busy often!

Delicious coffee ☕️ and amazing tropical smoothie 🍹🌴🍍 highly recommend 😊 (Only minus is that it’s sooo crowded)

Had a lovely coffee and smoothie with my husband, and on Liberation Day at that, wonderfully outside in the sunshine. Plus, the staff were very nice and friendly!

A real gem, this place! Delicious lunch, cakes, and drinks! We enjoyed it!

It was delicious, beautiful and tasty dishes

Very good coffee in a relaxed atmosphere.

Returned to this gem in Alkmaar once again! A pleasant surprise that the interior has undergone a makeover! Wow! Great atmosphere. We arrived a little after opening time and a number of tables were already occupied; nice to see! The flat white was delicious. A tad smaller than I am used to, though (the espresso/oat milk ratio makes it a rather strong experience 😇). I also enjoyed the delicious homemade blueberry cheesecake crumble, which brought the whole thing into perfect balance.

Great experience! Yummy food and excellent service. I had the club sandwich and my grandma had the tuna sandwich. Loved it!

Lovely friendly place with a good atmosphere

What a wonderful little café with friendly service, delicious cappuccino, and amazing quark tart. We sat comfortably on the bench outside in the sun and couldn't have been happier. Thank you so much for this wonderful hour! 💕

Great café, super friendly service, the bowls are always delicious. Thanks for the broad beans!

Renovated and still a nice place to grab a drink and a snack. Spontaneous encounters are possible.

The location of the coffee bar is truly beautiful, with a quiet and comfortable atmosphere. The interior is stylish and cozy, which makes it extra pleasant to sit there. The food was delicious – the portion size in the sandwich was just right and really left me feeling satisfied. The presentation of the dish was very beautiful and well-cared for; I found it looked very appealing. Moreover, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a place I would love to return to.

Cappuccino and cake, delicious!

Newly renovated café in Alkmaar, somewhat uninviting interior with a plastic palm tree and plastic cacti. The cappuccino was excellent, but the scones we ordered were nothing like scones. They were just soggy pastries, and the clotted cream was nonexistent. It all felt heavy in our stomachs. In our opinion, it was better in every way before the renovation. Perhaps there was a change of ownership? Nevertheless, I'm happy to increase my rating to 4 stars because the owners were open to the criticism; thank you for your response.

A very cozy little place with cheerful staff. Whether the weather is good or bad, you're always in the right place here. The Old Beemster toastie is highly recommended!

I had a great experience visto g this place. Coffee presentation was top notch.

What a lovely place! Cozy and tastefully decorated. Delicious coffee and sweets.

Nice dining option Especially after the renovation Good food and a cozy atmosphere

Great place for breakfast. Delicious coffee and fantastic food. Also great for families with small children, as there are toys and the staff is very helpful and friendly.

I always enjoyed coming here because of the cozy atmosphere. The food and drinks are still good quality, so that's certainly not the problem. That's precisely why I find it especially disappointing that the cozy atmosphere has disappeared after the renovation. The wooden chairs are very uncomfortable, and the furniture and decor feel rather basic and bare. Orders aren't taken upstairs, and I also found it very dirty in the restaurant. For me, it now lacks the charm that once made this place so inviting. Such a shame.

Great place. Delicious food. Child and dog friendly.

Neat and well-maintained, the service is attentive and service-oriented. The food is delicious. And the coffee is good. It was very busy when we were there, though, and the stools aren't very comfortable for sitting for extended periods.

Excellent place. Absolutely love it

The coffee was excellent, and the service was even better. Despite the crowds, they were very friendly and helpful. It was great that there were more than enough food and drink options, even for me as someone with a cow's milk allergy. There were even pastries!

The renovated coffee shop looks and feels like a warm welcome! The ideal spot for a (delicious) coffee date (with cake!) or lunch. Despite the place being packed, the service and friendliness are undeniable! :)

My favorite place to have lunch and work outside the home

A wonderful place in Alkmaar where I love to bring my daughter for a flat white and a babyccino for her, along with a treat. The staff and owners are super friendly and passionate about good coffee.

February 2025 A nice place and pretty busy. Also a place which accepts reservations and that for a Coffee - café place. Quite an extensive menu as well. Only remark is attendance of staff, working 5 people but waiting time for ordering (not waiting for drinks or food) is too long. If you're Lucky you get something nice with your Coffee.... Maybe working bit on the accoustics.

Friendly staff, nice atmosphere!😃

What a lovely spot in Alkmaar! It's recently been renovated, and it's always been beautiful, but it's even more beautiful! Very atmospheric! Delicious lunch, great coffee, and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Lovely place for a nice coffee!

I love coming to De Koffiemolen for the delicious coffee, pastries, pleasant atmosphere, and friendly staff. The makeover completes the picture for me. It's a perfect fit for Jeff and Esmee, making it even more of a living room. But with a beautiful, modern look. The professionalism is also a real step up with the beautiful kitchen and bar! Best of luck with your wonderful business.

The best coffee in Alkmaar, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere!

It was okay. The food tasted okay, good avocado and the radish was a good addition ,but it was a small portion, not equal to the price. The coffee was good. The service we got was okay, but the table was dirty when we arrived and not cleaned in between. And there is no ordering upstairs, you need to go down.

Waited ages for coffee, I think about 40 minutes. They say it's busy, but it's always busy, so maybe they should do something about staffing?

Great food and drinks, but oh, what a shame that the cozy atmosphere has disappeared after the renovation. It's truly a shame. Hopefully, you can bring that back with the decor. I feel like I'm at Hema now. Sorry...

Delicious food and great coffee. The visit was well worth it. Very friendly service. Dogs are welcome.

Nice place, good food, coffee and tea.

Delicious coffee, delicious Monchou cake. Cozy shop, friendly staff. Highly recommended.

The menu is a bit different for a change, without being too exciting. Friendly, efficient service and a nice atmosphere.

I went here because I had read that they had the best coffee in town. That turned out not to be the case, and I even had to send my coffee back because it only tasted like water and milk. It is also very noisy and not super clean. It really needs to be cleaned better. There is dust and dirt in every corner 😉

Delicious coffee and pastries beautifully presented. A charming space, friendly staff. Outdoor seating is also available. They also have a loyalty program for repeat customers. And always a little lucky charm with your order. A really nice touch.

Nice, quiet place to have a cup of coffee together or to study

Cozy spot with friendly service. The food and coffee were also very tasty.

A really nice coffee shop, and you can also have a delicious lunch there! Original and healthy menu!

We highly recommend this bistro. It's always busy, with very friendly service, delicious food at fair prices, and a pleasant atmosphere – thank you very much.

I'm a picky coffee drinker here, but wow, they had me right away! The service was super friendly and it was exactly the coffee I was hoping for. Oh my goodness, and the pancakes... so delicious.

Nice place. Service could be a bit faster. The coffee and cake are truly delicious!

Great atmosphere with delicious coffee and wonderful cakes!

It's okay, the brownies and blondie were super small, the matcha wasn't good at all, but the rest was okay. The atmosphere was very overstimulating, but also OK. In my opinion, there are better alternatives. Also, there are no hot or salty dishes after 3:30 PM.

Such a delicious, artistic breakfast. Cozy and friendly.

The drinks and food were spot on! Delicious!

Best coffee in Alkmaar. Very cozy atmosphere.

I'm not easily impressed by the food or coffee, but it was really good. The atmosphere is nice and informal, and the service is friendly.

Even if you are not hungry, go for their cakes!

We ate here two days in a row during our stay in Alkmaar. We had a very cozy, homey atmosphere and friendly service. The protein bowl was especially delicious and beautifully presented. And not to forget, the coffee was delicious!

Favorite spot!! Enjoyed the coffee and friendly staff again!🥰
