About

The best time to visit Cafe Ceuvel is on warm summer/spring days. The outdoor terrace is filled with sun and peaceful music, you can have a seat at the waterfront or even swim in the nearby canal. You will see groups of people chatting, playing games or just reading a book on the cosy armchairs. It is also a perfect place to bring your laptop and get some work done while enjoying a nice view of the canal.

Location

Cafe de Ceuvel is located in the North of Amsterdam. To get there you need to take a ferry from Amsterdam Central Station to the North side, the stop is called Buiksloterweg. From thereon it’s just a short cycle away.

The atmosphere in this cafe is very relaxing. The place is decorated with raw and vintage artefacts that creates an old school vibe.

Personally I think that Ceuvel has one of the best mushroom bitterballen (traditional dutch snack) in Amsterdam, but you must try it for yourself and see. They also make delicious homemade lemonade all from the local fruit.
