Five Ways Coffee

Reading reviews and thinking hmmm. I understand everyone has a different tastes but a being Aussie I was sooooo happy to have a great coffee and a laugh with the baristas !!! this place rocks ! Love the vibe ( great music ) and coffee! If you like coffee this is the place in Amsterdam ( try the fruit juice filter ) hands down best coffee I have ever had !!!! Amazing place !!!!!!!

I really expected more. I’m a big “matcha girl”. My best friend is a connoisseur in matcha, she has her own matcha brand and has just opened her matcha bar. (In SA unfortunately for us all). We drink matcha. THIS matcha must be the worst matcha I’ve drunk in my life. I’m so disappointed - I was craving matcha so hard today. As I type this I’m not even half way through because I’m so bleak about this experience.

A little disappointed. Although the coffee is good. The carrot cake loaf I ordered did not taste like carrot and was quite lumpy. The establishment has two floors.

A great coffee spot! The space is quite large (considering Amsterdam) so plenty of seating. I got a latte and a croissant. The croissant was one of the best I’ve had — flaky on the outside, fluffy inside. A nice chill place for a coffee!

Five ways is five+ ways of excellent. 5 out of 5 stars all around (no pun intended) So this big cafe takes a bit of getting used to. For one the downstairs space is huge and sparsely filled with furniture, they’re literally 0 tables in the whole space. Only benches, bar stools and some seats in the annex This can make the space—which judging from the various unused vaults was probably a jewelry shop or a small bank before—feel a bit cold. It does mean that people either chat (rather than work) or only hang out to finish their coffees The non-work vibe of the space grew on us as we stayed for a while. We also noticed that the person in charge of the art and decor as well as the music set up gave the place a lot of thought. And it’s one of those rare coffee places that hasn’t gone full blown post post modern on the late art Furthermore the quality of the coffee is absolutely five ways of great! As are the various cookies, pastries and bagels (which they source from the best sourdough bagel place in town). The staff is very kind and considerate, paying attention to individual customers and generally vibing Were still not sure what the “five ways” name refers to, but this is certainly a place that allows you to get caffeinated in five ways, impress a date in five ways, blast through your calorie count in five ways, and get art inspired in five ways and bonus points for the poster in the bathroom reminding you that keeping it clean is “demure, considerate and cutesy” 5/5 stars for this place
