Small authentic brown cafe near the Nieuwmarkt opened in 1665, maintaining its historic character with original dark wood paneling and a traditional tile floor. The intimate space attracts a mix of neighborhood locals and those seeking a genuine old Amsterdam atmosphere. No food served, just drinks and conversation.
This is a standing cafe with minimal seating—arrive early evening to claim one of the few chairs by the window.
