Call us coffee snobs or not, but we simply don't settle for an average coffee out anymore. Because if you're going to spend your money on a caffeine fix, it has to taste good and be brewed properly. So: where can you find good coffee in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid? We investigated and came up with the following five things. 

5 x good coffee in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid

Coffee District

In Oud-Zuid, you'll find no fewer than two Coffee District locations, and we think that's a good thing. It's a hotspot that never disappoints, serving not only excellent coffee but also delicious (hard to resist!) pastries. In short: a great spot for a coffee break with a treat, or to open your laptop (the Willemsparkweg location is to-go only). A bonus: they're open every weekday from 7:30 AM.

Liev Coffee & Pastry

At Liev Coffee & Pastry, they get it: they serve excellent matchas and coffees every day. And we haven't even mentioned the pastries yet, because here, those with a sweet tooth will definitely get their money's worth. The pecan sticky bun has become world-famous in Amsterdam, and you won't want to miss the cinnamon rolls either.

Elevate Coffee Lab

Elevate Coffee Lab lives up to its name, as this "lab" is indeed where a lot of coffee experimentation takes place. Van der Helstplein also has a pleasant atmosphere, so this place kills two birds with one stone. Don't forget to take home the delicious pastries.

Lot61 Coffee Roasters

Lot61 has several locations throughout the city – and that's good news. Few other places offer such consistently good coffee. What's not to like, with their Australian roots and home-roasted beans? If you're in the area, stop by for their delicious banana bread and a flat white.
