What is Katsu coffeeshop?
Katsu is a vibrant coffeeshop in the middle of Amsterdam’s bustling De Pijp. But don’t let the luminous and cacophonous blue and green streaks of its shopfront fool you, this is one of the city’s chillest places to have a smoke and unwind.
Is it worth visiting?
While Katsu doesn’t have the best weed in Amsterdam, it’s one of the best places to kick back for a few hours, whether that’s in the cosy indoors during winter, or soaking up the sun on its terrace in the warmer months.
Really though, Katsu is worth visiting because it’s an old-school stoner throwback: it has a relaxed vibe, is music-focused, and attracts a friendly clientele. Simply put, it’s lovely.
What time should I go?
You can turn up to Katsu during its opening hours and there’s often space to sit down, whether that’s indoors or outside. It’s a small space but booking isn’t required.
Where’s good to eat near Katsu?
De Pijp is one of the best places in Amsterdam for food, so a short walk in any direction will get you something tasty. If I had to pick one palace to recommend though, I’d suggest SORA Sapporo, a ramen restaurant that’ll have your tastebuds tingling.
