Although lots of Amsterdam cafés provide canalside seating, this self-proclaimed Italian espresso kiosk offers a vista of the entire IJ river. Located at the harbour where the free ferries reach the IJplein from Central Station, Al Ponte allows its patrons to enjoy delicious Italian coffee and food as well as plenty of fresh air. All of its nearly 20 sandwiches are made with authentic ingredients including Parma ham, pancetta and provolone and cost only around €5. Ferries leave roughly every 10 minutes so why not see Amsterdam from a new perspective while eating or drinking Italian delicacies prepared by a woman who’s passionate about her work.
