ROA Coffee Bar in Oostelijke Eilanden/Kadijken

Cozy place, not crowded while being next to a very touristic place.

Great cafe and skybox also highly recommended

This place is truly awful. Way too hot inside, they're taking orders wrong, and the floor and ceiling look tacky. I get the feeling the people or the organization that built this place have no inclination for this kind of cafe. Perhaps a real estate developer decided it needed a coffee shop and thought it would be fun and trendy to also turn it into a bookstore and cafe? The result is that it's just not quite right. A weak Nespresso served by people who clearly have no experience in the hospitality industry; a few dozen books—a few hundred at most—so no book lover will be drawn to that. The result is that it's mostly office workers picking up takeout, and you're sitting among them when you order a cup of coffee.

Very nice atmosphere! Friendly staff! Delicious food! Nice prices!

The food is delicious and the service is good. The seating is a bit noisy, though. Having a beer in the adjacent room is pleasant and much quieter.
