De Koffieschenkerij - Learn more about us!

Hello!

We are Job and Anne, the proud owners of ‘De Koffieschenkerij’ since 2013. We are thrilled and so happy to welcome you to our beautiful café.

In collaboration with ‘de Stichting Oude Kerk’ (the Old Church Foundation) we transformed this old sacristy into a café. The sacristy dates back to 1517!

It was important to us to honor the feeling of antiquity and history. We added our personal touches to create a cosy environment for you to relax and enjoy your coffee in. We feel privileged to welcome our guests to such an authentic and historical place.

Our main focus is to make our guests happy! Happy with the simple and really good things in life; a delicious cup of coffee, or a freshly baked piece of cake.

Everything we do is done with passion and all our products are carefully curated to meet our high quality standards. Our coffee and most of the products we use are organic. We support our local culinary community and partner with artisan bakeries who deliver their fresh baked treats to us every single day!

For the ultimate cozy coffee experience, check out our attic. Please tell all your friends, not foes about this hidden gem. Or… forever hold your peace. It will be our little secret 😉

Enjoy your visit!

They didn't have the cakes that were on the card menu and had to change the order at the counter.... And the cakes that were on display weren't on the menu either.. Would be good to keep them consistent. The homemade lemonade was very bland and just tasted of water with a hint of lemon and sugar. And the outdoor tables were dirty. But it was nice to sit in the garden in the middle of amsterdam. Otherwise, not too specialread more

We came to this place twice. Once while trying to escape the rain, and the second time we searched... for it because it was such a lovely place. The atmosphere inside is really nice along with the decoration and interior details. However the self-service aspect is a bit annoying. Also the toilet is excessively small.read more

Very average, the coffee is fine, the apple pie was fine, not really better than at other places we... went in Amsterdam. Indoor seating area looks unfinished and not as cosy as they clearly want it to be. Table was dirty and a no laptops after 12 o'clock rule? Really weird.read more

Even though this cafe is in the city centre, it is very nice and quiet with a book reading... atmosphere. We had the daily soup and a coffee for lunch for ~9€ per person. Taste was 5/5. Wether you come for a quick coffee, lunch, cake or for hours of book reading this cafe offers it all.read more

Used to come here last summer to enjoy beautiful cakes, now they switched bakeries?? This new... carrot cake tastes generic and also 60 cents more expensive than the old one??

Cosy converted church cafe right by central and the canal. Welcomed by an outdoor uncovered seating... terrace, you step inside to a warm ground floor room with friendly staff who serve great coffee, local cakes (the carrot cake is delicious) and small other bites. A separate other room of tables with a communal feel. An upstairs attic with a nice window view, made comfortable with arm chairs, a couch, a record player and a variety of books. Also a few tables to sit at and encouraged to work from opening to before 12pm. A little dear but appropriately justified, would return.read more

Me and my girlfriend instantly fell in love with this beautiful little place as soon as we entered... the terrace. Unfortunately it began to rain hard, but this way we could enjoy the cozy atmosphere indoors. It is furnished absolutely beautiful. Prices for drinks are affordable, especially for the very central location. The cakes cost a bit more, but it's absolutely worth it. A little detail was very charming - I ordered one piece of cake and the waitress asked if I would like to have two spoons to share it with my companion. 🙂 I also recommend the little Cheese-Cupcakes with caramel on top, I don't remember the last time I enjoyed something small that much. I could write whole chapters about this place, but I think I will stop here. 😀 I recomment this lovely oasis in the middle of the red light district, if you need a little time-out of the busy city. Everything is noticeably made with much love and passion, you will enjoy very nice service, friendly people and 100% homemade goods. Can't wait for our next visit!read more

Wonderful! The thing they are known for is apple pie but I don't have a sweet tooth. We had just... the coffee and really it's amongst the finest we've had in Amsterdam.

I don't know how to begin to deescribe this place. I think saying it's my favourite coffee place in... the world is not enough. The coffee is spot on. The sweets are absolutely delicious AND freshly baked in house. I had the best apple pie. And then there's the place. It's an old building that has been kept the way it is. The outside area is full of plants and trees. I cannot love this place more.read more
