HybridEastern Canal District

Zoku Amsterdam (rooftop coworking)

Next to the monthly membership there is a daily pass. Not cheap, I'd say, but the interiors and the views are amazing.

  • “The stylish decor, architecture and greenery is sure to provide some much-needed inspiration whether that’s for solo working or group lunch meetings.”

HybridOost

Werkplaats (Volkshotel)

More democratic than the fancy hotel lobbies, with a library vibe. Often crowded.

  • “The cafe provides a buzzing work spot, filled with students, creatives and entrepreneurs making use of the free wifi, tables with power outlets and great coffee.”

CaféOud-West

Kanarie Club

A corner set apart from the food hall. Not busy, except at the weekend.

  • “With fast wifi, more power outlets than an electronics store and plentiful delicious food options, Kanarie Club is undoubtedly the creme de la creme of laptop-friendly cafes.”

We have not worked from these yet. What you see comes from the venues’ own pages and from people who worked there, each with its source.

CaféCentrum (Roeterseiland)

CREA Café

  • “CREA Café is located very close to Roeterseiland, one of the University of Amsterdam's campuses. Studying here is easy on the wallet, so you can study in peace while enjoying a brownie with your coffee.”

HybridCentrum (Leidseplein)
