Proeflokaal ’t Blauwe Theehuis

Designed by brothers Baanders in 1937, ’t Blauwe Theehuis is a glorious example of functionalist architecture. Resembling a flying saucer – which looks like it has carefully negotiated the trees to land in the middle of the park – this café somehow feels like one of the city's best-kept secrets.

In the middle of the Vondelpark is this cute , very casual cafe . I'd say 90% of the seating is outside, so plan for a nice day. Fresh mint tea comes with a cookie & is really ideal. Or, you know, BEER .

Great cafe in the middle of Vondelpark with breakfast , lunch , snacks , coffees and beer/wines. It was constructed in the 1930s and looks like a flying saucer. Definitely a local' spot.

Now run by the folks from Brouwerij ‘t IJ with food from Renato’s so you can expect great beers , pizza , and snacks ! Plenty of seating and lots of umbrellas when it’s super sunny!

Sharon van Leeuwen

Great place to stop by when you are in the vondelpark. I was supprised by the latte they serve here, it's pretty good. They also have apple pie (verry Dutch) and looked really tasty

One of the finest pleasures of the Vondelpark is to sit on this terrace and watch the park and life go by. Good at any time of day with any type of beverage. Overpriced, but worth it.

Favorite hangout spot for a sunny weekend or afternoon. Go here with a group of friends or alone with your newspaper.
