Came to the Coffee Connection due to the Trip Advisor reviews. Coffee was great and the berry muffin was good. Very friendly service and the owner easily and friendly conversed with the patrons. I did find out that they will be renovating the building and he will have to move. I am not sure when, so make sure you get... More

Granted, the coffee here is pretty good. I've been coming here for over a year. Contrary to what most reviews say, I recently had a bad experience. I went in with my wife this week who only drinks decaf. The usually friendly guy who runs the place might have been having an off day, but he was very rude. Telling... More

My mother and I were recently in Amsterdam. Rather than do the breakfast at our hotel across the street, we enjoyed excellent coffee and croissants at Dave's place, the Coffee Connection. It cost much less, the double cappuccinos hit the spot and Dave was warm and welcoming. He chats you up and makes you feel comfortable and at home. The... More

This little coffee shop has a central location, and is great for people-watching. It has easily the best coffee I have tasted in my three visits to this city, and the host is a real character! One of the few coffee shops in the city worth making a detour for. Some great cakes too.

It's a tiny place, on the corner of Nieuwezijds Kolk and Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal. Maybe 6 stools downstairs, but there is an upper floor which we did not use. The guy who runs the place, Dave, is an absolute treasure! He's so friendly, welcoming and helpful. As far as I can tell he speaks Dutch, English and Spanish, and switches between... More

Also liked the dessert stand a few doors down. Great area to get a cup of coffee and shop too.

This nice little Cafe we discovered by chance just across the street from our hotel. Very good coffee and bagles, maffins and some more baked goods for a breakfast which we used to have at home... Owner is very nice. He does converse with the customers and we are quite private folks but we did not find this by any... More

We always like to try local cafés for breakfast rather than clinical hotel rubbish. So,whilst staying in the Inntel Hotel next door we thought we'd try this on our way out for a day of sightseeing. So glad we did. Coffee was amazing and the bagel and cream cheese was fresh, warm and served with a huge smile. Places like... More
