Do you love coffee? Are you not at all a fan of Starbucks, Bagels & Beans or Buongiorno? Do you make your own coffee? Or maybe you would like to start making your own coffee. There is only one shop you have to visit, and that's 't Zonnetje on the Haarlemmerdijk.
You have arrived when you see a coffee bean bag with a happy coffee bean jumping out of it. It's this cute little store with stuff everywhere, but if feels cozy and warm and welcoming. And it gets crowded really quick. And that's ok. Because the atmosphere is really nice and friendly. And you can check out all the things they have for sale. Most of all, you can start getting confused about what you actually want to buy.
They have many different kinds of coffee and tea, and they are organic. No additives or anything like that. So, make sure you don't buy too much. This way you can taste all the different flavors and it won't go bad.
The staff is very knowledgeable and very happy to help you. I didn't drink coffee for a while, but there I bought a percolator and some ground beans and I am very happy I found this place.
Please bring some change when you go there. As property like this is very expensive, the government is trying to push them out of this building for more commercially attractive customers. Let's keep this shop and everything it stands for alive!
