Top 10 Top 10 Types of Café
-
1. Bruin Café
Snug, smoky and old-fashioned, these brown cafés are places for beer and gossip.
-
2. Grand Café
Always grand in size, sometimes these cafés are grand in style too.
-
3. Eetcafé
Eetcafé means, unsurprisingly, Eat Café, and eat is exactly what you do in one. Good cooking at a little below restaurant prices.
-
4. Hip Hangouts
Some cafés flash their designer credentials – and attract a suitably hip and trendy crowd.
-
5. Music Cafés
Live music or top DJs make a good start to an evening of clubbing (see Clubs).
-
6. Games Cafés
Devotees of billiards, chess, darts or board games will find entire cafés given over to single pursuits.
-
7. Coffee & Cake
Sometimes there’s no alcohol at all, just tea, coffee and more calories than you’d care to mention.
-
8. Nachtcafés
When all else is closed, these night cafés open their doors through the wee hours, though tread carefully – some may be a little seedy.
-
9. Gay Cafés
From the stylish to the sweaty, Amsterdam’s famous gay cafés cater to all tastes.
-
10. “Coffeeshops”
Here, intoxicants take a different form, and smoking rather than drinking is the predominant activity.
