Espressobar Puccini

pros:
great location
delicious and fresh menu
good coffee
yummy desserts
friendly service
open kitchen, so you can smell all the goods
cons:
nothing I can think of, except for the menu: beautiful menu, but confusing language. In a way it’s a bit funny… notice the Dutch influenced US English with random Spanish and Italian words.
Overall:
great spot to enjoy a healthy, tasty lunch. Two thumbs up!

Absolutely lovely food and great service. The people at Puccini go out of their way to make sure you have a lovely experience. The meal was to die for, definitely worth every cent. If I had the chance, I would fall into a vat of their salads and sandwiches and submerge myself in the flavourful goodness that is served here.
Also, the coffee is

One of the places with the friendliest service in Amsterdam. Actually one of the few good service places in Amsterdam. The fact that they are the bistro café of one of the best chocolate stores in Holland (They take after its name «Puccini») makes all the difference in the world when it comes to cakes and sweets. I am literally addicted to their lemon custard cake. But don’t let the name and fame of the chocolate place fool you in thinking they’re only good for desert & coffee. In fact they have one of the best, and generous, sandwiches in Amsterdam; the chicken sandwich is a must — have in case you’re not a vegetarian.
The only reason why it’s not a 5* in my point of view is the small indoor seating place, which can be also cosy or noisy when the place is full.
All in all its a great place to enjoy good food, good desert, good service with smiley faces and good company.

Very good breakfast and coffee, and very friendly staff. After just a couple of visits while staying nearby for a week, the owner made us feel like local regulars.

A lovely little café where coffee, tea, lunch & dessert are all good quality. The view of canal and pedestrian street is very cosy Amsterdam while sitting inside or out and the service is friendly, too. The only drawback is that there are sometimes too few tables at the busiest times.

Die leckerste Apple Tart der Welt! Unglaublich köstlich mit dicker Sahne serviert!
