Non-sense no laptop policy on a Sunday while place was empty...
Ideal place either to chill or to work with your laptop! Very cozy and "gezellig", "lekker" cakes and great coffee quality!👌💯
A side bench that is laptop friendly and with multiple charging points. Coffee is great too! Try their cold brew :-)
Nice coffee and good baked goods selection. Outside seats on the square. Inside area divided in laptop vs not laptop.
Tasty coffee and pastries and a huge teracce outside. However, they have strict no laptops policy.
Gezellige buurt koffiezaak. Erg fijn dat je niet aan het raam/venster kan zitten met een laptop 😉 dat oogt toch een stuk gezelliger!
Heerlijke bakkies koffie en lekkere zoete baksels!
Oja er is ook een vriendelijke huiskat die zich graag laat aaien!
No laptops at the weekend policy. We came here on Sunday and even if the place was almost empty I wasn't allowed to work on my laptop. I would understand if people would not have anywhere to sit but there were only two people sitting inside and rest was outside plus the place is fairly big. There were over 20 sitting places all around.. It is a shame that the manager is so strict and not flexible with the policies. Wasted time going there and will not probably come back since this is a ridiculous policy...
Such a cool spot! laptop friendly during the week, delicious coffee, my new favorite cafe in amsterdam
Great coffee, friendly staff. Good for work, meet or just watch people passing by
What a gem! Great vibe, great music and - most importantly - even greater coffee and home made pastries! Even got to judge an impromptu latte art competition, what more could anyone ask for? :-) If you're looking for that relaxt holiday feel away from the masses or just for a place to recharge at during a busy work from home day, this is it. Dare I say it? Once you go Back to Black, you never go back! It'll be our little secret... ;-)
Comfortable and inviting seating and layout. Fresh air flow, open patio and also shared table for digital nomads. Right next to the bus stop. As I did not have wifi, It became the perfect spot to rest me and my luggage and check my messages.
A cozy cafe in the neighborhood, you can work, chat and read with the black coffee beans 🫘
For years I’ve been coming to Back to Black and the coffee is great and the people working here even better. It’s an amazing place to relax and the service is incredible.
