Coffee Connection, Amsterdam

Nieuwezijds Kolk 33, 1012 PV
 Amsterdam, Netherlands

 There is a very distinct difference between a coffeeshop and a coffeehouse in Amsterdam. The former sells espresso but most notably it sells marajuana. The later is a real espresso bar and cafe... minus the weed and tobacco.  Coffee Connection is about 500m from Central Station, right next to a Yellow Bike rental station or the Nieuwezijds Kolk tram stop.

The owner Dave, runs a friendly one man show with a steady flow of locals and tourists. The upstairs is narrow and cozy, reflective in most Amsterdam restaurants and architecture.

Operating a La Marzocco Linea espresso machine, I came back twice to cappuccinos. His butter croissants were the perfect blend of soft, fluffy insides, without being overly buttery and dense.
