Located along the shopping street of Jan Evertsenstraat, this recently opened cafe from Amsterdam coffee roaster White Label is a delightful experiment in home-inspired retail space. Taking inspiration from its namesake, the space is largely white and is given added character thanks to records hung on the wall and mismatched Oriental rugs.
The unique cafe space has room for approximately 30 guests, but likely benefits from the atmosphere contained in such a small, friendly space. Larger tables are available if you are looking to sit down with a laptop and get some work done, while several cutesy window seats offer a place to drink an espresso and people watch through the floor-to-ceiling windows that light up the entire charismatic space.
