Sweet Cup

Don't let the name of this Grachtengordel shop fool you -- the coffee drinks here come as bitter or as sickeningly sweet as you prefer. The minimal decor, airy lounge space, and chatty, knowledgeable baristas make it feel as if you're having a hand-crafted latte or freshly baked muffin from the comfort of your own home (except there's an adorable basset hound named Sjefke there).
