Café the Schreiertower

4.4 ·

Warm up at Café de Schreierstoren, set in a medieval tower beside the water. Settle among the wooden beams and brick walls, and order a pancake or a drink.

📖

Full description

Café de Schreierstoren occupies the historic Schreierstoren, sometimes called the Weeping Tower, on the edge of Amsterdam's old centre. Inside, reviewers describe an authentic interior with wooden beams and brick walls and a warm, traditional atmosphere.

The menu draws praise for its pancakes, including an apple and cinnamon version, and it is a popular stop for a relaxed meal or coffee. It sits close to the ferry and bus routes, so travellers often find it by chance.

Plan around 45 minutes for a drink or light meal.
