7 coffee spots that make you happy

Are you looking for a nice coffee spot wherever you are? Then this will make you very happy.

Regina and Richt of the blog De Koffiefilters know everything about coffee. There is much to tell about it, but in their book Coffee! 182 coffee spots that make you happy, the focus is on nice addresses where you can drink a good cup of coffee. From the far north to the deep south and Flanders. 182 coffee spots, of which we can already share 7 with you. Regina and Richt also share recipes and the finest coffee-making methods in the book.

1. Mellow If there's one thing that tastes good with coffee, it's chocolate. To experience this you have to go to Mellow, a restaurant, chocolate factory and shop all in one. Here you will be served a chunk of chocolate that goes perfectly with the cup of coffee of your choice. They also tell you everything about the origin of the product. In short:a special experience.

2. Harbor East
The Havenkwartier is Deventer's creative breeding ground. Art and culture, industrial heritage, catering and living come together here. For a cup of coffee you have to go to Haven Oost, the specialty coffee bar of Esmee and Michelle, who understand the art of coffee making like no other. Grumbling stomach? Continue to Fooddock, the first food hall in the east of the Netherlands, located in a former grain silo.

3. Caffeenation
For a delicious cup of coffee from the famous Antwerp coffee bar and roastery, you can also visit the Amsterdam Schinkelbuurt. At the end of the Vondelpark, on the Flevo cycle route, you will find this inspiring coffee spot. Upon entering you will be surprised by a bright space with cheerful and bizarre items. Be sure to bring a pack of coffee beans for home:a blend, filter, decaf or espresso.

4. Bairro Alto
Bairro Alto doesn't sound exactly Dutch. Yet the name (literally:upper city, in Portuguese) is appropriate, because this small cozy coffee and lunch bar (see photo at the top of this article) is located higher up in the old part of the city, just behind the busy Grote Markt. . Are you coming in the summer? Order at the bar and enjoy your order on the opposite field. You will then be given a picnic blanket and a number. As soon as your order is ready, your number will appear on the number counter.

5. Hop &Stork

If you have climbed the 465 steps of the highest church tower in the Netherlands, you have earned a coffee. For this you only have to descend the Dom Tower again, because Hop &Stork is less than a hundred meters from the Dom where you can refuel with coffee and chocolate. There is also a branch in De Passage (number 82) in The Hague.

6. Coffeelicious
Coffeelicious is a coffee bar that you regularly come across in the Coffee Top-100 of Misset Horeca. Their concept is simple:delicious and well-prepared coffees, homemade cakes, high tea and honest and sincere hospitality. And because of these last two 'ingredients', your coffee immediately tastes a lot better. Coffeelicious is not unknown, because you will also find a branch in Breda (Ginnekenweg 59) and Rotterdam (Nieuwe Binnenweg 174).

7 . Coffee house
7 coffee spots that make you happy Most people know the Koffiehuisje from the time it was located in the Ketelhuis on Strijp-S, the former Philips industrial estate. In the summer of 2017, Loes Hermes found new accommodation for her coffee bar in the middle of Philipsdorp, between the center and Strijp-S. Just like at the 'old' location, you can go to the Koffiehuisje for a good cup of coffee, fresh juice and carrot cake.
