At the edge of Amsterdam’s city centre, this place always seems to be crowded. The espresso is being made with a lever-operated espresso machine, which always gives me the feeling they’re actually preparing your espresso, rather than simply pushing a button, even though the grinding and tamping is actually the part that makes most of the difference. The cappuccino tastes excellent, although it does have a strong and slightly bitter after-taste. Whether or not you like that, is a matter of taste. Only downsides: the pre-packed sandwiches which aren’t worth the money you pay for it and the music is a bit loud, but even that, doesn’t seem to be really disturbing.
