Cafe Sarphaat

Ceintuurbaan 157, Amsterdam, Netherlands

Cafe Sarphaat sits on the sunniest corner of the Ceintuurbaan, right next to the Sarphatipark. It's one of those spots where the vibe is just easy: cozy, casual, and always a little lively. You can roll in from 9:00 for breakfast or lunch with a proper coffee, fresh juices, or something cold. Then at 17:00 the kitchen switches over to dinner, serving classics and seasonal dishes that actually hit. The food is straightforward but solid. Think hearty lunches like a tosti with fried egg, chorizo, and jalapeño, or daily specials like a cordon bleu with salad and fries for a fair price. Portions are generous, staff is friendly, and the service is quick. It's the kind of place where you can grab a beer, sit outside on the heated terrace, and just stay a while. Open every day from 9:00, with late nights on Fridays and Saturdays until 3:00. If you're in the Pijp and want a no-drama spot for coffee, a bite, or a drink, this is it.
