Five Ways Coffee Roasters in Kinkerbuurt

Cappuccino, very good almost the best I ever and I drink a lot of this beverage.

I used to go to this place for a coffee and pastry, but I’ll never visit it again after the last time. My friends and I decided to meet there for a morning coffee, but my husband and I mixed up the place and went to lot61. When we realised it, we came to five ways with our coffee. Barista told what we’re not allowed here with lot61 coffee and we have to get outside. For context: other 4 people from our group bought coffee at five ways. We tried to explain that we mixed up the meeting place, but barista didn’t offer any alternatives - change paper cup to their branded one or buy a pastry instead of a coffee. I understand that you might have “policies”, but it was rude and unprofessional. You risk to losing regular customers with this kind of attitude.

Always delicious coffee with heart felt smiles

Great coffee, Love the Barista Dylan his passion is amazing!!!!! Happy to visit again

Decent coffee - but nothing special. Don’t get me wrong, the coffee is not bad. Really. It’s probably perfect for your daily quick zipp of cappuccino. Even though, you find these kind of places all around the city. If you are looking for that special roast, that just blows you away, this is not it. Same goes for the pastry-selection.

I had an incredible experience at Five Ways. I met the barista Angel, and he made the visit even more special. Throughout the entire time, he introduced me to amazing coffees, each with very interesting characteristics and profiles. You can feel the knowledge, care, and passion put into each choice and preparation. It wasn't just about drinking coffee; it was an experience of discovery and connection with specialty coffees. A place I will certainly remember.”

Great place, but unfortunately stopped selling one of their best beans which was the fruit juice. The rest isn’t as good. Hope they can get a similar one soon.

My favourite coffee spot in Amsterdam

Nice restaurant, bad experience. The atmosphere is good and the food is presented well, but portions are small and the taste wasn’t remarkable enough to make up for that. They did, however, have very delicious pastries (both rhubarb and pistachio flavours were tasty). The service was poor. Three of the five drinks didn’t match what we ordered. One was replaced after we asked, the other two we just let go. The food came out late and not all at once. We asked for extra bread three times, it showed up after half an hour, long after we’d finished eating. When we raised these issues with the staff, they were rude and didn’t apologise. Not coming back again.

€3.90 for an awesome oat flat white- ripper deal and great vibes

Lovely place and best coffee in town. Specialty coffee with guys that love the world of coffee. 🙌🏻

Fantastic place, highly recommend

By far, the best flat white I’ve had in Amsterdam. So well done. Would recommend this place. Lovely choc chip cookies too :)

Excellent staff and service!! Amazing

A great place for coffee, good service and a nice atmosphere. I usually buy my coffee there. Ángel always helps me choose my coffee; he's a true professional.

Became my fav .fantastic batch brews and slayer shots

Our new place is ideal for families with babies.

Best coffee in Amsterdam and excellent and friendly staff

Ethiopian Honey, a fruit juice that tickles your throat

Excellent coffee, cozy atmosphere, and very friendly staff. Ideal for brunch or relaxing with a good coffee. I'll definitely be back!

A calm spot to people watch the street outside or to read, with delicious coffee. The staff were very warm and welcoming

Staff is nice but please just learn basic Dutch… if you work at a cafe take the effort to learn basic words like “groene thee” or “brood”. It’s not that hard come on 🙄

👀After visiting several cafes in Amsterdam, Five Ways had been recommended to me, and I'd also seen them as a coffee supplier in several other cafes. I thought the experience at their headquarters would be better than it was. The truth is, several things kept the experience from being a 10/10 ☕️ - The service was friendly, and they recommended a lemon cake over the other options because it was much fresher. - We ended up trying the banana bread, and it was indeed quite dry. In these kinds of places, you expect the price you pay for a slice of cake to be as fresh as possible, but that wasn't the case. - The coffee, which was what we were there for, was quite disappointing. In fact, we weren't sure which of the two was oat milk because of its strange flavor. The coffee tasted strong and overly roasted, which didn't go well with either the oat milk or the cow's milk. - - In fact, of the 5 coffee shops I tried, this was the one I liked the least. It might have been a matter of execution, because it's true that in other coffee shops where they used this coffee (Taal), the experience wasn't the same. - The place is large, and you can use your laptop during the week, but not on weekends. There's a lower area with high tables and chairs and an upper area with more comfortable tables. - The price is similar to other coffee shops in Amsterdam. A cappuccino is €3.90. They don't charge for oat milk, but they do charge for other varieties. The oat milk they use is Oatly.

Good coffee (i tried flat white) Great hot chocolate as well. Also tried a chocolate chip cookie and it was excellent.

Went from East Amsterdam to West and followed my senses after enjoying a great brunch ! If you’re a coffee lover FRUIT JUICE one of their filters is mind blowing ! Just wow ! Pastries are great so sit back and enjoy Amsterdam at my new Fav coffee spot

One of the most delicious lunches out I've had in a long time. The Turkish eggs were truly amazing :) The service was also great and friendly. This is what you want to eat out for 👐🏻

Incredible coffee, the best I have had in a while. They have various coffees in batch brew and offer a variety of really good coffee drinks. The place is very loud and the furniture very uncomfortable. It can get overwhelming. This is not a cozy place, but a very hipster café.

4 euro is good for a flat white but when the small cup is only 2/3s filled it makes sense 😅 A bubbley flat white poorly prepared.

Reading reviews and thinking hmmm. I understand everyone has a different tastes but a being Aussie I was sooooo happy to have a great coffee and a laugh with the baristas !!! this place rocks ! Love the vibe ( great music ) and coffee! If you like coffee this is the place in Amsterdam ( try the fruit juice filter ) hands down best coffee I have ever had !!!! Amazing place !!!!!!!

Good coffee, but few seats! We stopped by for a good cup of coffee. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a seat at first; as is so often the case, several were occupied by laptops. The coffee was very good, and the price-performance ratio is also excellent.

good coffee and nice environment and laptop friendly on weekdays but wifi is very slow

These people there has an ego attitude issues and has to be teached how to talk to the clients. Unbelievable. 1 star is too much. Very bad.

Very nice red honey espresso ☕️

I really expected more. I’m a big “matcha girl”. My best friend is a connoisseur in matcha, she has her own matcha brand and has just opened her matcha bar. (In SA unfortunately for us all). We drink matcha. THIS matcha must be the worst matcha I’ve drunk in my life. I’m so disappointed - I was craving matcha so hard today. As I type this I’m not even half way through because I’m so bleak about this experience.

Sour coffee, and the barista was even more sour. Not worth your time/money.

Although the coffee was okay, my experience at 5ways Coffee on Kinkerstraat wasn’t the best. When I entered, nobody welcomed me, and I ended up waiting quite a while before someone finally took my order. It wasn’t busy at all — I was the only customer at that moment — but the staff seemed preoccupied talking with another customer who was very loud. I understand they were busy, but still, a warm welcome would have been much appreciated. Instead, I felt ignored for quite some time, which left a disappointing impression.

I visited Five Ways looking forward to a nice experience, but unfortunately, it was very disappointing. My card wasn’t working that day, so I offered to pay in cash but the staff was extremely unfriendly and responded with a passive aggressive attitude. They don’t accept cash, which I understand, but there is absolutely no visible sign indicating this. Instead of offering a kind explanation or a solution, they made me feel very uncomfortable and unwelcome. Definitely not a place I would return to.

We had a hot chocolate and a flat white, and both were delicious. The small mezzanine was a great place to relax and watch the hustle and bustle. A lovely atmosphere.

A little disappointed. Although the coffee is good. The carrot cake loaf I ordered did not taste like carrot and was quite lumpy. The establishment has two floors.

Great spot for coffee lovers! The service was friendly and efficient, and the coffee was delicious. I also tried the vegan raspberry pistachio pastry, which was excellent—flavorful and not overly sweet. The seating upstairs is a nice bonus if you want a quieter place to relax. Will definitely be back!

Cold brew was amazing! Five ways is one of my favorite places for coffee!

Good vibes, good coffee and delicious croissants!

Always had a nice experience at both locations. Excellent coffee,sweets and you definitely gotta try the sandwiches in oost.

Edit: Don't even try to justify it, it wasn't one fly, they were all over the place. Close the door and turn on the AC, problem solved! Flies on cups patrons will drink from and you think it's fine? The entitlement is uncanny. Disgusting hygiene with flies landing on the coffee machine, milk cartons, you name it. I asked my coffee to go after seeing flies all over the ceramic cups. Check the images attached. Could be a great place with proper AC ventilation, door closed and something to zap the flies...

Went here to do some work on my laptop. They have a one hour laptop policy during weekdays and do not allow laptops on weekends. They seemed chill about enforcing this policy though as long as seating was available.

It has a cool vibe and look, kinda urban but fancy. The service was not bad but I didn’t get a welcoming feeling from the cashier when I was ordering. I personally didn’t like the taste of the coffee, a bit too bitter for me (I prefer smoother coffees) so the price of €4.50 latte wasn’t worth it.

We had a very good Flat-White and a hot chocolate with latte art, which was the first time, we had this. The stuff is extremly friendly!

This small coffee place is apparently run by some friendly mates from down under. I had a cappuccino with oat milk and it honestly was the best one I've ever had! It had a fruity taste and wasn't bitter at all. The cinnamon bun and the chocolate chip cookie are also very tasty. I'd absolutely like to come back next time I'm in town.

Let my little girl 6 years old to the toilet came out and approached me rude demanding 50 cents! Just paid it, but come on it’s a little girl where else she needs to go?? At least tell us nicely

Coffee was good, wifi/internet was terrible. Cannot work from here

This was an amazing cafe I stopped at as it was calm and relaxing.Also the service was quick but that could have been because there wasn’t many people.I recommend getting the choc chip cookie if you like salty things because it was the perfect amount.

Best specialty coffee in Amsterdam

Best coffee in Amsterdam West! Really special

amazing coffee with a great variety!! would absolutely recommend to anyone that likes coffee

Great coffee served by a friendly barista in a nice, relaxed setting! I got a very interesting espresso with nicaraguan beans and wine fermentation processing. Awesome aromatic profile in a very balanced cup.

Coffee is great, but it can hardly be otherwise if you have the Slayer served by the right hands. Perhaps the best coffee in Amsterdam.

Brilliant coffee's, excellent food and always has a super friendly vibe. Love!

One of the best coffee places in Amsterdam - always got the next level beans and service and fun items on the menu. The bagels and the strawberry matcha are recommended

Very good coffee&matcha and fantastic cheese croissant!

Really nice place to nerd out about coffee with some very friendly staff and also get some amazing coffee while doing that! Really enjoyed the washed Ethiopian from the batch brew. It gave some lemon iced tea vibes and the fruit juice is really packing the vitamins sheeessh :)

Filter coffee was surprisingly great. The flat whites are hit or miss. Space is beautiful when it's sunny.

always kind and amazing coffee 🤎

Nice place. I'm demanding for a speciality coffee and this place met my expectations🧐

Quick service, only oat/regular milk choices. Very good matcha.

Nice coffee with lovely ambiance. I was so lucky to catch piano recital during my short break.

My go-to coffee spot in Amsterdam. Coffee is fantastic, great selection of sweet treats with some vegan options, and always a bonus to say hi to some dogs while we’re there!

Nice place and very tasty coffee. Some vegan options and oat milk available.

Great place to have a good coffee

Favourite coffee in Amsterdam, Melbourne born and it shows - coffee is FANTASTIC and reasonably priced! Great selection of treats too, staff are friendly and fun.

Burned, acid coffee a bit overpriced for what you get (in line with the amsterdam prices)

Got 2 cappucino both quite sour. Yet another place that defaults to tipping on the payment terminal. Last time I checked NL didn't belong to the US

No doubt a must see shop!! 10 out off 10…

Banana Pecan cake is on point. I'd rate the Flat white 4 out of 5. 5 stars for the latte art but only 3 for the texture and weak (single?) shot of coffee. Very pleasant and chill atmosphere

Delicious coffee and pastery. It’s a good place for short breakfast and coffee break

5 stars all around and usually not super busy like other cafes in the neighborhood + Super friendly staff. Vegan pastries and also get yourself a bag of beans to go!!

All seems fancy but this was the worst flat white and espresso of the last 10 years. No exaggeration. Might be the ending of their shift (15 min before closing) but that shouldn’t be a valid reason ever to present me with sewage water. I ordered a To Go & stepped into my car otherwise would’ve gone back. No second time for me.

Can’t wait to go back for that cookie with another cup of coffee!

A great coffee spot! The space is quite large (considering Amsterdam) so plenty of seating. I got a latte and a croissant. The croissant was one of the best I’ve had — flaky on the outside, fluffy inside. A nice chill place for a coffee!

If you like sour coffee, this is your place!

Coffe absolutely mediocre. Staff does the bare minimum and prices over the roof.

One of best coffee-bars in Amsterdam!

I had an unpleasant experience today at the Five Ways coffee bar. My mother came from abroad and does not speak Dutch or English, which she did not treat properly. I tried to ignore it and place our order, only to be met with an annoyed response as it was 10 minutes before closing time. What they didn't know is that I could understand them in both Dutch and English and what they said about us was discriminatory and affected me so much that I didn't have the heart to accept the coffee from them. I paid and then ordered a new coffee from the neighbors.

Worst coffee of my life. Sour, no smell. I felt sick and could not even finish it. Lost 4 euros. Never again.

I believe this is a part of a (edit: very small) chain in Amsterdam and for a chain I was very impressed and satisfied (edit: the quality makes more sense now). Service was incredible, the girls handling my order were lovely and they delivered some smooth latte art (sorry for drowning it in cacao later on). I really liked the environment. Espresso wasn’t exactly like what I’d normally go for but the cappuccino was delicious after all, and as a plus the espresso pairs really well with some cacao.

Delicious coffee, good atmosphere, very friendly staff (it still exists!) and a delicious cookie. A successful Saturday, I will definitely come back.

Great and original coffee for a good price with super nice barristas

We asked for 1 coffee to go cup and 2 coffees to drink here in the cafe, I even gave a tip, it was then put in 3 to go cups, when I indicated that 2 can be drunk here, there was no good response unfortunately, even after kindly explaining that we were going to drink coffee here twice. I won't go there again, I felt treated unpleasantly.

Really great coffee, specialty beans are fairly priced. Never been to a place with such good price-quality ratio

Ellie was incredibly kind and I loved the atmosphere.

Best coffee in terms of complexity I had in Amsterdam - the bag of beans tracks the roasting date as well. Service was awesome, thanks ladies !!!

Five ways is five+ ways of excellent. 5 out of 5 stars all around (no pun intended) So this big cafe takes a bit of getting used to. For one the downstairs space is huge and sparsely filled with furniture, they’re literally 0 tables in the whole space. Only benches, bar stools and some seats in the annex This can make the space—which judging from the various unused vaults was probably a jewelry shop or a small bank before—feel a bit cold. It does mean that people either chat (rather than work) or only hang out to finish their coffees The non-work vibe of the space grew on us as we stayed for a while. We also noticed that the person in charge of the art and decor as well as the music set up gave the place a lot of thought. And it’s one of those rare coffee places that hasn’t gone full blown post post modern on the late art Furthermore the quality of the coffee is absolutely five ways of great! As are the various cookies, pastries and bagels (which they source from the best sourdough bagel place in town). The staff is very kind and considerate, paying attention to individual customers and generally vibing Were still not sure what the “five ways” name refers to, but this is certainly a place that allows you to get caffeinated in five ways, impress a date in five ways, blast through your calorie count in five ways, and get art inspired in five ways and bonus points for the poster in the bathroom reminding you that keeping it clean is “demure, considerate and cutesy” 5/5 stars for this place

Very good. Very kind staff. Generous portions and fair prices.

Great atmosphere great coffee a must to visit while in Amsterdam

The baristas were great and friendly. The coffee tonic that is pictured was refreshing. If you are strolling by, it is a great stop.

Current favourite cafe in town. Shout out to all the girls working here who are always very attentive, friendly and polite.

In short: maybe good coffee but bad service. I used to come to this place for coffee but the service is just awful. Last I came here asking for an iced coffee and the guy just assumed I wanted an iced cafe latte. When I tried to clarify what I wanted, he wouldn’t even let me finish my sentence and was so rude to me. If it’s a misunderstanding, fine but you don’t get a pass at treating someone badly and not even letting them talk. If your baristas had a hard day, please don’t take it out on your customers. Avoid this place and walk two minutes and go to Lot 61 - more reliable service and always kinder people.

High quality coffee, competitive prices and appealing interiors. Specially at early morning, it’s a pleasure to sit down and ejoy your coffee while looking out the window while Amsterdam wakes up ☕️ Highly reccomended !

Cozy place to drink delicious coffee.

Good stuff good people working there

Tasty speciality coffee, fun trendy baristas, nice cups and ambiance in general. One dislike - it's extremely noisy even when it's not busy. Like very very loud, and after 5 minutes felt uncomfortable.
