’t Blauwe Theehuis

Time for a mid-park pause

Originally built in the 1930s as a cafe, this watering hole has been offering parkgoers sustenance for almost a century. ’t Blauwe Theehuis continues this legacy as a place to escape the city’s hustle. With lots of natural light, a large terrace and a cosy no-nonsense ambiance, t Blauwe Theehuis is a quintessentially Dutch spot to grab a morning coffee, accompanmied by a little sweet treat.

If you're feeling a little peckish after your stroll, this family-friendly spot has got you covered with plenty of options for breakfast, lunch and an early dinner (served until 7pm). Think freshly made wood-fired pizzas, indulgent club sandwiches and homemade soups, just a few of the options on their extensive menu. Stop for a bite, and stay for the afternoon, enjoying the views of Amsterdam's most iconic park.
