22 places in Amsterdam where you can work with a laptop on a Sunday, going by the opening hours each venue publishes. Among them: OBA Oosterdok, Zoku, Bocca Espresso Bar & School of Coffee and Werkplaats, and 18 more. We have worked from 5 of them ourselves: OBA Oosterdok, Zoku, Bocca Espresso Bar & School of Coffee, Werkplaats and Kanarie Club.
22 places
Rooms we’ve spent a working day in. The notes are ours.
LibraryOosterdok
The best of the OBA libraries, near Central Station, with a nice view from the 6th floor. Often crowded with students.
“Scattered among the bookcases, working spots can be found on all floors of the library.”
Roadbook, Dec 2024
HybridEastern Canal District
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.”

CaféCentrum (Grachtengordel-Zuid)
Great coffee. Seats run around the room; some are low, like armchairs, and about ten tables have ordinary chairs. Most people come to talk, but it isn't loud.
“Bocca is a huge, tastefully decorated space that serves coffee from their in-house roasted coffee beans. Walk around the bar to the back for the long table that’s perfect for working.”
Matador Network, May 2017
HybridOost
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.”
I amsterdam, Jun 2026
CaféOud-West
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.
CoworkingNieuw-West
“Whilst memberships at B.Amsterdam are paid for, its possible to make use of the free wifi and tables at Bureau any day of the working week.”

CaféOost
CaféOosterdok
“De ruimte is enorm en voorzien van veel licht en fijne hoekjes waar je je kunt terugtrekken tijdens (digitale) meetings.”
Your Little Black Book, Oct 2025
“The wifi here is the Hilton Hotel's own and there are plenty of little nooks and corner seatings with outlets for you to charge and enjoy those single-roasted beans and some excellent pastries (delivered fresh every morning from a bakery in Oost).”
I amsterdam, Oct 2026
CaféOost
“Rum Baba: A cozy café and bakery in Amsterdam East, offering cakes, sandwiches, and a warm feeling for freelancers.”
One Coworking, Sep 2025
“This is one of my favorite places to work from in Amsterdam Oost.”

CaféOostelijke Eilanden
CaféCentrum
“Known as one of the largest and oldest artists' associations in the Netherlands on Rokin, Arti et Amicitae is open to everyone during the day.”
I amsterdam, Sep 2026
CaféAmsterdam-West (Van Hallbuurt)
“The comfy layout is perfect for studying, with tons of seating to work solo, in a group, or with your dog.”
DutchReview, Jan 2025
CaféOost
“Hoge ramen, een urban jungle , goede koffie, lekkere broodjes… alle ingrediënten die voor mij perfect zijn als ik even wat werk wil verzetten op een inspirerende plek!”
Your Little Black Book, Oct 2025
“There’s reliable wifi and you’ll even find power outlets in the outside spaces”

CaféOostelijk Havengebied
“Als onderdeel van het nieuwste Hoxton Hotel in Amsterdam, is Breman Brasserie een fijne flexwerkplek.”
Your Little Black Book, Oct 2025
HybridCentrum (Leidseplein)
“But it’s the mezzanine in the cafe, complete with spiral staircase and views over Leidseplein, that is the main attraction for those looking for a great spot to work.”

LibraryKinkerbuurt / Oud-West
CaféCentrum
CaféCentrum/West
“There’s plenty of seating, including a long wooden table perfect for groups.”
DutchReview, Jan 2025
CaféDe Baarsjes
“This charming cafe in the west of the city has enough spots to land your laptop. Don’t miss out on their signature spappelsap — a funky mix of sparkling water and apple juice. White Label Coffee fills up quickly on weekends, so come early or miss out.”
Matador Network, May 2017
