Good Beans in Haarlemmerbuurt

My favourite cafe in Amsterdam. Best staff, best vibes and best drinks&bites. Loveeeee ☀️☀️💯❤️

What an awesome badass spot! Barista was very chill and friendly and the lattes were delicious. Very small interior but the aesthetics are just right. They have a great selection of beans and products perfect for the offbeat and rebellious coffee lover. Big fan of their liberal use of the f-word because it really is the best way to describe their coffee. I didn't partake, but also love that they offer "for here" mugs to sit outside. Came here on a morning stroll through the area and hit here before walking to a neighboring farmers' market -- couldn't ask for a better morning.

Hi Cody, hope youre doing well. Here is a well deserved 5 star review for a 5 star type a place!

Best in Amsterdam. Coffee tastes and they do have filter coffee.

Great coffee place, multiple single origin options for a coffee snob like me!

Good Beans is the best cafe in Amsterdam! Friendliest staff, best coffee, and the owner is a top notch fellow.

Just fking strong and good coffee 😁

cute café in a very sweet street! the staff was very friendly & fun. the coffee was delicious and even the dirty chai was yummy in flavor. inside it was hotttt so don’t expect to be inside when it is warm, but anyways there are some seating outside. felt very queer friendly! defo recommend! <3

The coffee here is really delicious！

The place to be if you're looking for great coffee and an even better hang! Cody, Tom, Charlie and crew bring a great vibe, the best coffee in town, and the tunes are always on point! Highly recommended!

Great coffee place, superb flat white!

Cool tiny coffee joint. Good Beans indeed.

Delicious coffee (of course), the area is always cool and quiet, Cody and Tom are super sweet and helpful, aanndd you can't find a place with a better playlist :)

A 5-star coffee... We will repeat

Wonderful little café, with delicious coffee and even more delicious croissaint. Friendly staff, lovely ambience.

Nice lad working at the counter and the coffee is great!

Funny concept got me but so sad coffee is bitter and acidic. Tried a bunch of different origins. Not appealing location not welcoming staff. Very slow with 1 person. That does matter.

Very good range of options for strong coffee with fresh pastries available to buy as well. A lovely spot to chill and have a cup of coffee or tea. Definitely a recommended place to visit in Ams.

Chill / Cool Vibe. Friendly people. Deadass the best coffee I ever had.

Small place with really friendly staff and clientele. Great coffee made by people that really love their coffee.

Cute little shop with a laid-back atmosphere. A great find in Amsterdam! Plus, the coffee is AMAZING. Hot or iced, it's handcrafted with love.

I recently quit drinking coffee, and this was one of the best matchas I’ve tried since—smooth, creamy, and perfectly paired with coconut milk. The barista was incredibly kind and made the experience even better.

Friendliest staff on earth, hella good place. Hanging around a little while will give you the vibez of the street. Beer good socks good coffee amazin, big up for this place. Thanks guys

Great beans, in my opinion, they need to pay more attention to the recipe. Way over extracted.

Very easy atmosphere and great coffee

The coffee here is absolutely amazing. As a Londoner, I cannot find anything that tastes as good as this back in London. 200/10 - INSANE!!

Deserves even more than 5 starts

"F'in Strong Coffee". Can't beat the concept. F'in good, too.

The shop fits the tagline. It's small, but has a presence. The coffee really is very good, friends in America make me send them beans

Super cute coffee shop, loved the merch. Friendly staff and Great flat white! Would Definitely recommend the banana bread too

Amazing coffee and best cafe experience I had in the country on my most recent trip. Will definitely be back again. Lovely coffee and customer service

I got a free coffee and 2 pastries as a gift card from the Calisto Hotel across the street. I would’ve paid even if I didn’t have it, the coffee was strong, rich and creamy and the pastry was delicious. Very warm and welcoming atmosphere

Very friendly atmosphere, friendly baristas and located in a super nice street. Definitely come back!

Great coffee and amazing beans to take home, service was not very friendly, unless maybe you are a regular :(

Marvelous coffee and decaf (tried both)! Very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Ok so this is a great (very) little cafe. Consistently good coffee, nice people, there's clearly a great local microcommunity centred on the place, but not in a cliquey kind of way - clearly, there are people living enarby who enjoy being here or dropping by to say hi, and that's wonderful. HOWEVER I am irrationally enraged by their coffee bean branding. Not the swearing, fine with swearing. But while the basic claim - that speciality coffee is exclusive and elitist is fair enough, literally the only concrete thing being done differently here is swapping a minimalist aesthetic for a vaguely pop arty one. Every other aspect of the product is the same checklist of things every single roaster does. The price (surely the actual reason why specialty coffee is 'exclusive') is as or more expensive than comparable producers. It's also just... not that strong? Like it's fine, will happily drink it, but it's pretty middle of the road stuff strengthwise. Maybe there are some more substantive differences lurking beneath the branding - they've managed to build a cool space here and I'd happily believe that they're doing some cool things with supply chains or that they're curating their beans to give a more straightforward, fun spectrum of flavours than the sometimes anemic, tea-like stuff you get with high-end beans. But if so, then explain that, rather than using all your words to pretend that using primary colours on your label is revolutionary. Thank you for coming to my TED Review.

Good coffee and limited food options..one can also buy coffee beans here.

Good restaurant, friendly service and nice location

INCREÍBLE café! Pero igualmente los pasteles son una necesidad! Los chicos son súper amables y es una pequeña cafetería peculiar muy recomendable 💪🏽

One of the best coffee in the city. Recommended.

Original coffee and originally bright guys

Great place for coffee and small pastry - very good beans being used and sustainably sourced. Also very small inside the cafe, not much seating and can get really crowded with limited seating.

Super cozy cafeteria in Amsterdam! I really enjoyed the atmosphere and a good cappuccino! The girl working there explained us the story of the place and the coffee selection they offer, in particular the Fu** ing strong coffe (loved the package!). Recommend!

Being a pour over coffee fanatic from the US, I was really missing a good filtered coffee after a week in Europe. I had a wonderful Kenyan here and it was just what I needed on my last day. Thanks for the great cup of coffee! Cheers from Boston.

One of the best coffee spots in the centre of Amsterdam. The location and atmosphere is lovely to relax, people watch or have a chat. Coffee quality is superb, great beans and their oat-cappuccino is very delicious. Keep coming back !

This is my one of the favorite cafe in Amsterdam, I like the coffee here a lot. But I feel like not welcomed by some of the employees. I'm not demanding the best services, but a little bit more kind gestures would be very appreciated much more than a micro aggression

best coffee I've had in a long time, good background music too!

It was a joy to see the owner and enjoy this place. We have heard about it for years. Cody is welcoming and his staff is excellent in their skills and knowledge.

Excellent coffee, great service and god vibes

My favorite coffee place in the whole wide world

Best coffee I've tried so far! Come and get one too 👍👍👍

Tasty professional coffee. Very chill out, easygoing atmosphere, where you feel straightaway welcomed.

Tiny, tiny coffee shop with a laid-back vibe. Very friendly staff with a smile on their faces and a twinkle in their eyes. They are serving beans from the source - Rwanda, Colombia, Brazil. I bought Uganda beans. A bit too floral for me but wanted to give it a try. I’ll go for the Colombian next time. I definitely recommend for the coffee connoisseur or someone wanting try fresh beans from around globe. Bad photos below. That’s all for now

The most expensive but best coffee I've ever had🔥

Cute concept, coffee latte was better than average speciality coffees in Netherlands. Filter coffee was okay.

Was lucky enough to get free coffee and pastries from here due to stopping at Hotel Calisto! Super friendly and a great atmosphere 👌 best cup of coffee I've ever had. My only negative is no other coffee will live up to these standards 😍!

Here touring Europe behind the best specialty coffee, very good, delicious coffee, you will surely like it, 100% memorable, you can sit in a pleasant atmosphere, nice place, very good barista 👏👏👏 Here traveling Europe behind the best specialty coffee, very good, delicious coffee, you will surely like it, 100% memorable, you can sit in a pleasant atmosphere, a nice place, a very good barista 👏👏👏

Good Beans Café is a hidden gem! They offer a fantastic selection of coffee and pastries that are both delicious and fresh. The coffee is perfectly brewed, with rich flavors that cater to all tastes, and the pastries are a delightful treat—flaky, flavorful, and always fresh. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it a perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. I highly recommend Good Beans Café to anyone looking for quality coffee and pastries!

Fantastic coffee. Probably the best I’ve had in Amsterdam. Super friendly baristas. Great location. What more can you ask for?

Delicious coffee and exquisite service in a small place. You can sit inside or on some benches on the street, or take your coffee with you. A must for cafe owners in Amsterdam, I think.

An awesome coffee shop in Amsterdam, i found this whilst trying to make my way to a different coffee shop in some heavy rain, i am so glad I found it and dived in. The coffee was amazing. Great atmosphere. A few seats around the outside of the small coffee shop. The chap who owns it is a lovely guy, we sat chatting to him for quite some time and ended up buying some beans to bring home. I have visited each time I’ve been back in Amsterdam since.

Great coffee and great little venue, highly recommended if you are around Haarlemmerstraat

Great cafe! Small and cosy! The owner is very friendly and the coffee is really really good!

Super good coffee and nice people! Will come back for sure!

An all-round epic coffee spot in the heart of Amsterdam, selling some of the best ethical specialty coffee beans out there. Good Beans is a unique experience with plenty of character and charm that’ll leave you both smiling and well caffeinated courtesy of their wonderful staff, jovial atmosphere and a very snazzy in-house coffee brand. ☕️ Do check it out!

I seldomly leave a shop with the inclination to post a review but this is a special case. The owner (whose name I didn’t catch) is one of the friendliest and most welcoming individuals I’ve ever met, and the cold brew is spectacular! Couldn’t recommend more.

Genuine living room vibe with great coffee, cold brew in summer and sourdough croissants everyday.

Great coffee, friendly service and cozy atmosphere

The best coffee in town we bought also beans from them

Sorry guys but the coffee was just so poor. I bought a latte and a filter. The latte tasted like there were some tomato left overs in the cup, and the filter tasted as if the beans were completely burnt. Disappointment given the reviews (and hence high expectations).

I LOVE this local spot. Amazing specialty coffee and a lovely atmosphere.

Seems like a nice place, but unfriendly and zero customer service. Maybe it's just for the locals

This was a really powerful experience in a small espresso bar. A pleasant barista who gave me both a filter and a double esso from selected beans. The menu also offers something smaller sweet to nibble on. For home brewing coffee enthusiasts, the option to purchase beans from various roasters for home experiments

Super small, but......DELICIOUS COFFEE. A real winner.

The coffee tastes so good and the owner is very friendly, really refreshing

Cozy local coffee shop. Excellent coffee, super friendly staff, and good vibes overall.

Did I want to like this place? Was it cute and nice inside? Yes! Was my coffee something I looked forward to and satisfied me? Nope. The foam was incredible thick and kinda burnt so I left quite unsatisfied. I loved the interior, it’s such a tiny shop but please as barista it’s a crimeee to give this kind of coffee to a customer

Awesome and cozy coffee shop, if I lived in amsterdam i would come here every day for morning coffee. I had the cappuccino here, and it was awesome, and always had a nice chat with Cody, and a lot of regulars in the place from all places to have a conversation with while you sip your coffee! Couldn’t recommend it more.

My favorite coffee shop in the neighborhood! I always meet someone new and get an amazing coconut latte🥰

Great beans, cosy atmosphere, super friendly staff

The best specialty coffee in ALL amsterdam. It’s small, unique and friendly. Not pretentious. I always get my beans and my flat whites here

Best coffee in AMS and even better staff! Also delicious croissants ;)

Lovely ambience, if you’re a real local, this is your spot. Cute owner ;)

Kings of coffee and croissants. Staff is the best

Got given some non-Ethiopian soup there which I had to choke down and cost me a whole euro. Terribly unfriendly owner

Our first stop in Amsterdam! Loved their cappuccino.

Slightly above average cappuccino. Staff was not so welcoming when I entered and left the shop.

Amazing coffee store Very friendly staff even gifted us a coffee

Very nice coffee shop. They even gave me a free coffee to go, even though I accidentally came after closing time!

Probably the most tasty coffee in the city + very lovely barista 💗

My favorite coffee place in the world, baristas that take their craft serious andake every coffee with love! Teas too!

Such a good cappuccino! One of the best ones I got in Amsterdam. Nice chill ambience, friendly barista, everything makes it a really good cafe

If you’re into speciality coffee and great customer service, this is most certainly the place for you. Cody goes above and beyond for his customers whether it’s your first visit or one hundredth. Definitely worth a visit!

Very friendly staff, great coffee

Definitely skilled in the art of the bean with unique flavours that you won't find just anywhere. Had the latte and everything was prepared perfectly. Unfortunately I must mention, for such a high review rating I had very lackluster customer service. I normally come out of the dark Dutch weather to find sunshine in the people but this was unfortunately not the case at Good Beans.

Epic cozy place to stop for a coffee. Always friendly, coffees are poured here with passion. Don't pass on the opportunity of trying their fairly priced coffees at home, note that if you take your own vessel to take your coffee beans home you get quite a discount!

Small cozy coffee shop with an incredible barista. He does all drinks to order without a menu

Very small place but packed with flavorful coffee and knowledgeable people. A bit hidden, but definitely worth the visit if you like good coffee. We were brought there by a friend who lives in Amsterdam and had espresso and a dirty chai. Both were amazing and the coffee selection is outstanding. The place is small and feels very intimate. The staff is very helpful and can definitely give great advice. And if you need any supply or great coffee they will sell it. Attached a photo of some of the coffees they have on hold. I definitely recommend the DAK which is roasted in Amsterdam.

Should’ve named themselves Best Beans.

I had a very delicious flat white. Such a cozy environment and nice service!
