La Cabra X Frama Pop-up cafe | Pijp area

For the occasion of the World of Coffee festival, taking place in Amsterdam this week, Danish La Cabra Coffee Roasters teamed up with Frama  and opened a pop-up coffee bar at the Amsterdam Pijp area In the store next to some great coffee, I had my first ever cup of coffee from Burundi! selected furniture and lighting from the Frama collection and cups by KHWürtz especially made for La Cabra.

Love to take you one more time to the Pijp area where I had a little meeting with some fellow bloggers the other day and finally got to hang out a bit on one of the top floors... and had two! really great apple, carrot and ginger smoothies! The place is really packed all the time but has a great laid back atmosphere... many people working on their laptops, friends talking in a quiet corner and bigger groups gathering around one of the many tables or hanging on the . I am sure the furniture by Atelier Sukha is creating an overall laid back atmosphere

This time I brought my camera and made a few snap shots from the amazing photography hanging on the tall brick walls ....  Musicians like David Bowie, The Rolling Stones and good old Roxy Music give the 3 stories cafe, restaurant, , just that needed touch of Rock & Roll.

Headfirst coffee roasters | Westerstraat

My first cup of Headfirst coffee I had some years ago on a cold winter night from the Espressobus, a super cute grey citroen bus, parked outside Sourced & Sold during a gathering at their former location in the Jordaan area | see this blogpost from 2012.

Since some time they have their own location at Westerstraat where they offer a great selection of coffees and beans that they serve and roast inside the shop for both their own store as clients like Filter, Stach and others. Pop in for a quick coffee and small sweets.

CT Coffee & Coconuts | Pijp area

I haven't had the time to go here myself yet! but Bien Schols was so kind to let me use her pictures to give you a sneak peek of this brand new spot in De Pijp Area. Just around the corner of the busy Albert Cuyp market in a former cinema built in the roaring 20s – called the Ceintuur Theater – CT coffee & coconuts  opened it's doors today.

The place looks raw and industrial and has been decorated by different creative people. Atelier Sukha, part of Sukha Amsterdam, being one of them adding a natural touch to the cafe-restaurant that is open for breakfast, lunch, coffee and dinner!

Coffee... Beer and a Windmill

Between the Amsterdam East area and the Eastern docklands and only a short trip from Central Station and one of Amsterdams Local Markets 'Dappermarket' you can find a reall working windmill... Every day people stand in front of the mill making pictures. But passing by a few times a week I never really made a picture of it, but today I did!
