Café de Jaren
About Café de Jaren
Amsterdam's grandest brown café — a vast, light-filled space on the Amstel with a reading table stacked with international newspapers, two sun terraces overlooking the river, and the best coffee and eggs in the Old Center. A gathering spot for students, creatives, and anyone who needs to think.
