Seek out Café De Schelp, a hidden coffee counter inside a building in Amsterdam-Noord. Choose one of three beans, pair it with a sandwich, and enjoy a quiet, local-feeling break on a weekday.
Full description
Café De Schelp is a small, minimal coffee spot inside a building in Amsterdam-Noord, mainly serving the people who work there but open to anyone who walks in from the street. Customers choose between three kinds of beans, including a bitter option, and the sandwiches get strong praise from a visitor who returned four or five times during a two-week stay.
Reviewers like the cosy feel and the friendly staff. It keeps the building's hours, so it is open Monday to Friday and closed on Saturday.

January 2026 A cosy small place. Open when 'the building' is open. So Monday untill Friday. Nice staff. 3 different kind of beans to choose grom, ordered the 'bitter' Version, don't think they gave me that. Als cappuccino more a latte. Croissant was of good quality.
