De Kanarie Club | Bellamyplein 51, Oud-West

MidWest

Café MidWest is located in the gymnasium of a former school and extends out into a cute backyard garden. Pop by just for a coffee, or if you want to work or study all day, check out their flexible work-space subscriptions. With rentable meeting rooms and a creative community vibe, this option is a great choice for freelancers and creatives seeking networking opportunities.

MidWest | Cabralstraat 1, De Baarsjes

This trendy hotel is located in a former office building where the national newspaper De Volkskrant once rolled off the press. The cafe provides a buzzing work spot, filled with students, creatives and entrepreneurs making use of the free wifi, tables with power outlets and great coffee. You can reserve meeting rooms and work cubicles. And, if your deadline runs over to the weekend you can tuck into some beers from the bar as you enjoy live DJ sets.

Public Space

With its high ceilings, big windows and minimal architecture, this contemporary cafe will give anyone who’s been stuck at home too long the feeling of light and space. Alongside the elegant breakfast and lunch menu, major work perks include stand-out coffee, helpful staff and multiple tables with power outlets. Located just behind the A’DAM Tower in Noord, it's a lesser-known space, (for now), so you can be assured to find a seat.

Public Space | Bercylaan 301, Noord

Kriterion

Fascinating fact: this cinema emerged from the resistance movement of WWII when its student founders became involved in hiding children from Nazi persecution. Today, the café is still a student association and provides a great co-working and study spot, attracting a mix of students, freelancers and film buffs discussing movies and social causes. With students in mind and a non-profit ethos, Kriterion is also one of the cheapest places to grab a coffee or beer in the hood.

Kriterion | Roetersstraat 170, De Plantage

Bar Bistro Bureau

This rooftop living room is perched atop B.Amsterdam - an excellent company which offers rentable co-working spaces and access to various networking, sports and social facilities. Whilst memberships at B.Amsterdam are paid for, its possible to make use of the free wifi and tables at Bureau any day of the working week. On a sunny afternoon, there’s no better place to unfold your laptop, beer in hand, than from the 5th-floor terrace with killer views over Amsterdam-West. You’ll be surrounded by many like-minded people.

OBA

The cost of flat whites can certainly rack up when you're cafe hopping.

You’ll find various reading nooks, study pods, multimedia workspaces and (in the case of the Centrum location) stunning south-facing panoramic views. Membership is free for youths (you just need ID and proof of address to register), giving access to various resources and unlimited wifi. But even without membership, visitors can make use of various workspaces and computers - just inquire at the desk.
