Ludwig

Coffee is OK, atmosphere is a bit sterile but nonetheless also OK. A nice place to sit and do some work or reading or people-​watching nearby Dappermarkt, but nothing to go out of your way for here.

This is a fine spot for a cup of coffee while visiting the Dappermarkt. It is very nearby and there are not that many coffee bars around so this is a good choice. I had a flat white here and it was pretty good. That’s the most important about a coffee bar.
I also had a slice of banana cake with the coffee. It tasted alright but it was not baked good. There were also 3 or 4 meat pies on the menu but none of them were in stock. That lame, especially on a Saturday. I also think the place lacked coziness.
Since the coffee was good and it was not to crowded I think this will be 3 stars for me. Its an okay place. If I lived in the neighborhood I might some back more often. Coffee is important for me.

Good coffee, perfect breakfast for good price. If you’re lucky you catch the happy barista that will make your day start off great. Despite the resembling name (there’s also a Ludwig in the Reguliersdwarsstraat) a total different experience in this light and bright coffee bar.

I live in the neighborhood and often work at cafes on my computer. The coffee here is great, but I was super disappointed when the owner demanded that I buy more coffee to continue working there after only an hour and a half. I was planning on buying a sandwich and more coffee, but was disgusted by how rude that he was! I’m always friendly and wasn’t at all inconsiderate, so I’m unsure why he was so irritable. I ended up going to Café Ponteneur, buying a big lunch, and working there. It’s such a shame because I would have been a new paying customer and I always drink lots of coffee.

Welcome to Amsterdam! All good here.

The first thing I noticed about Ludwig was that Adele was watching me park my bike. When I headed inside, I saw Amy Winehouse was gazing out the window. Then I noticed that the whole wall is covered in bold, colourful, gigantic portraits of popular singers and that the décor in general is rather hip, especially given the neighbourhood. (I really liked the art!)
The coffee was good and I would go back if I needed an espresso fix and didn’t feel like venturing too far from my place. A lot of people were plugged into their laptops and the café was playing good music, so I would also consider plopping down here for a change of scenery from my apartment.
