Why you should visit Zizou Coffee Amsterdam
Zizou Coffee Amsterdam is a coffee kiosk that stands head and shoulders above the rest. As soon as the first rays of sunshine appear, the kioskโs terrace spontaneously expands, and the music gets turned up a notch. Brothers Benjamin and Patrick serve (and make!) the coffee here, always with that same infectious energy. In short: the ideal pit stop for those on their way to the office or a perfect hangout spot for the weekend.

Menu and dishes at Zizou Coffee
When it comes to drinks, Zizou serves that always-good coffee. From iced lattes to flat whites and strong double espressos, all coffees are prepared with the same love and attention. Besides coffee, they also serve (iced) matcha and other refreshing drinks. If you have a sweet tooth, youโre also in the right place, as the irresistible baked goods are sourced from Britton’s Bakery in De Pijp. The iced cinnamon muffin is a must-try. Too heavy? Then, the lime poppy loaf is a refreshing alternative. All in all, we can’t think of few – if any! – reasons not to visit this special place.
