Lot Sixty One Coffee Roasters

Another addition to the batch of hipster coffee roasters that have sprung in different parts of amsterdam. Nothing bad to say about the coffee, however all the show of roasting your own beans in-​house comes with a price tag. Staff was friendly and willing to advise in case of doubt and it’s located in a nice corner, that when sunny has light pretty much the whole day. It is nice to see how entrepreneurs are now taking over certain areas of amsterdam that were less popular.

Best coffee I had my entire time in Amsterdam. They roast the beans right there and were even doing in while I was drinking my cup. They put together a perfect and delicious flat white and had some unique and tasty homemade snacks as well. It was a lovely little shop and worth a visit if you like real coffee.

Lot Sixty One is a corner café + roaster, with an edgy vibe and great espresso. They are far enough from the centre of Amsterdam to have a completely local clientele. Seating is along the street and the adjacent canal — inside it’s too hot to enjoy, at least in the summer, because of the roasting machine just downstairs.

This place has high quality coffee beans. This is where we get our coffee to make at home. I never hang out there but it has a cool vibe too. The staff is really helpful in suggesting something you may want to drink in store or at home.

Hands down best coffee in Amsterdam! I love this place… No matter what I get this place never fails to deliver. I can’t pretend to be a coffee connoisseur, but what do know is when one disappoints… And that will not happen at Lot Sixty One!
They also have some baked goods that are really good, but it’s not really a sit down breakfast or café place.
The staff is usually friendly and nice, but lately I’ve gotten a «Brooklyn hipster snob» vibe a few times which almost made me want to take away a star.

One of the best coffee’s of Amsterdam!!!
Beside the coffee the staff is very friendly and always in for a chat while roasting coffee or pulling an espresso shot…
And then the place it’s located close to the Foodhallen an amazing indoor market and on the canal! What more do you wan

This place is so full of character that it seems like it belongs in a movie. Not only were the latte/​Americano that hubby and I got tasty, but the atmosphere in which we were able to enjoy our coffee was unlike any other coffee shop I’ve ever been in. There are a bunch of random stools and benches to sit on amongst the bags of coffee beans and other supplies. This place is a must if you’re in need of a caffeine fix.

Named as the best coffee roasters in Amsterdam by many, Lot Sixty One does not disappoint. Many of my friends travel from out of town just to buy their beans. The atmosphere here is quite chill with many hipsters hanging around. Definitely a must if you’re a coffee lover.

Hace dos semanas que me mudé a Amsterdam y Unilocal me está ayudando mucho a conocer la ciudad. Busqué en Unilocal un bar donde pudiera tomar un rico café mientras hacíà la tarea de holandés y apareció este lugar. Agarré la bicicleta y media hora después estaba ahí. El lugar es pequeño, casi no hay mesas, salvo algunas barras altas. No es lo más cómodo para sentarse a trabajar o estudiar, pero no me voy a quejar. Me pedí un latte y una cookie con chips de chocolate. Riquísimo todo. El latte me gustó mucho, pero quizás puede ser un poco fuerte. La cookie me dejó con ganas de comerme mil millones más. Los chicos que atienden son muy buena onda y seguramente puedan recomendar otros estilos de café para tomar.
Valió la pena pedalear con tanto frío para pasar un rato estudiando y tomando café ahí.

Good coffee. Nice atmosphere.
Really friendly and welcoming service. (Big plus!)
And very reasonably priced.
I decided to try the latte the way they make it (double shot of espresso). For me it was waaaayyy too strong.
The new thing today is double shot of espresso in any size (for some reason especially at all the Australian/​New Zealand places). For me, a simple coffee lover, it creates a way too strong coffee.
They do say there that that’s how they serve it so you can ask for however you like it, so keep it in mind if you’re not the biggest strong coffee fan!

Ambiance Brooklyn pour ce café un peu hipster. Le staff est cool, le café est super bon, on vous dessine des cygnes, des cœurs dans votre cappucino, des tasses très mignonnes sont à vendre pour des prix raisonnables.
Je conseille largement ce café dans un quartier cool branché.

Good, but not sure if it’s the best Amsterdam offers nor if it should warrant the long lines. Glad we checked it out but wouldn’t go out of my way to return.

It was a rainy late July day as I pedaled towards Amsterdam West during my attempt to ride to Haarlem. My ride may have died due to the fact that the Netherlands were experiencing one of the worst periods of storms in recorded history and the wind was too difficult to ride in but I did manage to notch Lot Sixty One off my to do list while over in the area.
I had been told about it by a friend and made sure to visit while I was there. One of my main issues with Europe is the lack of a good cup of coffee. French press, pour over, anything. It’s espresso everything, and while not a bad thing, I sometimes just crave my regular cup of coffee.
I can’t for the life of me remember the exact blend I had but I believe it was the Ethiopian Hunkute, which really hit the spot. Two very nice people were working the counter, a nice gentleman with an English accent that was slightly posh and a nice Dutch girl, both very accommodating as we talked about my hometown and what brought me to Holland. I quite enjoyed sipping my spot of the black stuff while attempting to read the local newspaper as the rain started to come down again, ending my dreams of a nice bike ride further west.
The coffee though helped me through the rest of the day, keeping me energized for my train ride to Den Haag later that afternoon. A great place, plenty of bike parking right off the canal too!

I live in Haarlem and rarely come to Amsterdam (especially as I can easily find great coffee there!), but after seeing such brilliant reviews of Lot Sixty One I made sure to make some time for a visit the next time I was in the city. Well, it was well worth the diversion! My cappuccino was served beautifully, at a perfect temperature and tasted smooth, strong, yet well balanced.
I will definitely be telling friends and other coffee enthusiasts about this little place and will make sure to pay a visit each time I am in Amsterdam!

I really enjoyed my long black coffee from this place, it was very lean and smooth taste compared to the jet fuel that I normally drink. Made me reconsider how I cook my own coffee in the future.
The coffee was also on the cheaper side so that was a plus.

For: best coffee in Amsterdam!
I felt they truly have the knowledge and passion for what they do. They roast and prepare the coffee in the backroom.
Sad there not lot of seats inside.
Will keep good memories of this place.

These guys roast beans from all over the world to make — what I think anyway — are the best blends in Amsterdam.
They make damn fine coffees too, and even have the slow filtering machines where you can buy a pot and relaxed in the summer sun outside as you sip away.

I was supposed to have a morning coffee with my friend Yulie, who’s also a big amsterdammer coffee specialist, so she chose Lot 61. By the time I came there I received a message that she won’t be able to make it, so I cozied up on my own a decided to try the famous coffee.
I tell how it is: I’m not a coffee specialist but a fan, and I can say the coffee was quite good. The baked goodies were also delish. But what amazed me more is the huge coffee roasting machine downstairs, it’s impressive and fits the atmosphere well and isn’t it just interesting to see one of those live in a coffee place!:)
Be sure to drop by Lot 61, because the guys really know what they are doing and I’ll be waiting for my next time there as well to try all the coffee types they have!

There’s a lot of mediocre and bad coffee in Amsterdam but fortunately places like Lot Sixty One are upping the game in town. I talked to the guys here and it sounds like they used to have a shop in NYC, which was cool to hear.
I got a pour over. I love how they give you the coffee in a Hario glass server and a small glass for drinking. Also love the ambiance of the shop.
Really appreciated having a nice cup of coffee while I was in town for work.

Great coffee place with a couple of Aussies and a Kiwi running the place.
I think I will try a muffin today!
They roast their own coffee Beens’ and you can taste it.
Try this shop in hip west.

I got a black coffee to take away. It did taste good and at just the right temperature. From other reviews, they roast their own coffee beans, which would explain the long line of people. There’s almost no seating inside leave for a small table with 4 chairs. Outside, though, all the benches were full, with some people even sitting down on the sidewalk with their cup a Joe. On this occasion, they had fresh banana bread which went down smooth with the coffee.
I will come back.

I am a coffee snob.
I own four different methods of making coffee. I can’t drink coffee at most places in Holland. Normally I drink americanos and can’t tolerate too much milk in my coffee.
Here, I had the best coffee of my life! It was a cappuccino (!) and I’m still dreaming about it a month later…
