About
An old-school Amsterdam coffeeshop with one of the city’s most distinctive interiors and a genuine bit of film history.
Dampkring is one of those coffeeshops where the room matters almost as much as what’s on the menu. The handmade interior, film history and juice bar give it a proper sense of character, so it feels more like somewhere to spend time than simply somewhere to pass through.
It suits people who want a memorable old-school Amsterdam setting and actually care about the atmosphere around the smoke. The central location also makes it easy to build into a day around the canals and nearby shopping streets without having to go out of your way.
Good to know
Look around the room
The interior and film history are part of why Dampkring remains such a recognisable Amsterdam stop.
Better as an experience stop
This is one to sit in and take in rather than treating it purely as a quick purchase.
