The Cheesecake

The one thing people mention in reviews almost as often as the coffee. A house special at our koffiebar in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid, served by the slice from 7:00.

A house special

We are a coffee bar first, so the counter is short: a canélé, a croissant, bread pudding, banana bread, and the cheesecake. The cheesecake is the one that gets photographed, and the one people mention in their reviews. It is cut thick and sits on the counter until it runs out.

How to have it

Most people order it in the late morning, with a cortado or a flat white. It also does a lot for a pot of oolong: the Phoenix Mi Lan Xiang in particular. Slices go to take away in a box if you would rather eat it in Vondelpark, which is a ten-minute walk.

How much is a slice?

Can I take cheesecake away?
Yes. Ask for a slice to go at the counter. If you want more than a couple of slices for an occasion, ask us in advance and we will see what we can do.

A cortado or a hand brew if you are on coffee. If you are on tea, the Phoenix Mi Lan Xiang oolong or the Ceylon both cut through the cream nicely.
