Amsterdam – The Coffee Paradise

Amsterdam is one of the world’s great cities, a living network of charming canals and row houses, thrumming with the non-stop vibrations of boats, bikes, and bars. Amsterdam is known globally for its “coffee shop culture”. The coffee of Amsterdam has intense aromas, the flavors are bolder, and the experience of drinking in such a beautiful place makes every moment enjoyable.

The Dutch have loved coffee for centuries, and Amsterdam’s contemporary coffee scene is one of Europe’s most progressive and intriguing. Amsterdam is definitely the friendliest city for coffee shop tourism. It is an interesting place in terms of being between the classic darker roast French and Italian coffee culture and the progressive lighter roasts of the Nordic countries.

Coffee has become part of a nice morning breakfast, or evening after dinner beverage, in a lot of countries. Someone said it right that,” Good Ideas start with brainstorming but Great ideas start with coffee”. A cup of coffee not only helps you improve energy levels and makes you smarter but contains essential nutrients and help you burn fat and the best part is that it makes you happier.

An average cup of coffee in Netherlands is a strong coffee compared to the English blend, but it tastes less strong than the Italian Caffe! Try combining your cup of coffee with one of the typical pastries such as apple pie. The combination of something sweet with a cup of coffee is a real treat.

Amsterdam is a great place to start for visitors and coffee enthusiasts as there are 221 coffee shops, which are exceptionally great. The variety in types of coffees here has expanded and has become broader than only the espresso, coffee, cappuccino and coffee with milk. It’s also increasingly home to one of Europe’s most interesting and progressive food and coffee scenes, which have grown exponentially around each other over the last decade.

So, keep warm and snuggle with the best cup of coffee in Amsterdam.

Today, the city of Amsterdam has over 200 certified coffeeshops! The first coffeeshop in Amsterdam was “Mellow Yellow”, founded back in 1972, when Netherlands started to become more tolerant towards cannabis. But even then, the act of selling cannabis was illegal, so the owners of the coffeeshop had to make the transactions in secret and completely hide the main income source for the business.
