It's been officially three week since I have moved to the Netherlands and I haven't been very active in nightlife (because it's not really my style) but I have found that my love for quaint artsy cafes has not died down! After finding this beauty online, Coffee and Coconuts is located in Ceintuurbaan which isn't very far from where I live -thank the lord- on the high street. I am attracted to anything that has anything coconut flavoured but also if it sells coffee you know that I will be their number 1 customer.
With a loft apartment aesthetic, straight away you feel relaxed. You climb a variety of stars to little snugs with grey bean bags and low wooden tables. It's buzzing but you still feel like you have your own little place of piece and quiet. You can't call it a cafe, as it has a full breakfast-lunch-dinner menu, which does not disappoint any taste buds! From coconut buckwheat pancakes to avocado on toast for brekkie, beef burgers to shrimp tacos for lunch and finally for dinner slow roasted lamb to lemon chicken tagliatella. A wide choice of foods for any palate
Megs & I managed to make brunch which for me consisted of an acai bowl, which I have wanted to try for a really long time, and it was super yum, followed by a watermelon cooler, because I think I have an addiction to watermelon. It was pricy for what I had, but the acai bowl was more money because of the ingredients that it contained, but it was worth it. Megs had the traditional coconut and buckwheat pancakes with a fruit compote and oh my lord, it was like heaven.
The whole vibe was artistic and relaxed and seemed to be the hotspot for creative people with a passion for food. A lot of students were working away with a coffee by their side, something I will defiantly be doing again.
If you're ever in Amsterdam hit it up
