A great place with very quiet vibe, the service was really great and visible preparation of the pastries is awesome where you can see the staff prepare the variety of pastries they provide. I tried the espresso and it was fine, but the v60 was awesome and the flat white was great and milk temperature was perfect. I got the pan au chocolate and it was fresh and delicious.

Trendy, cozy and great filter black coffee! I tried Huila Colombia anaerobic washed coffee beans. The taste is fruity combined with strawberry, orange and blackberry. Nice service as well.

Uncommon Bar offers an experience that’s Michelin-level cooking and service. The atmosphere is warm and intimate. It’s the kind of place where you can slow down, relax, and really savor each bite in a cozy, thoughtfully designed space. The food is creative and an absolute explosion of flavors.

We made a detour to visit Amsterdam, just to eat and drink in the best coffee shop and bar in our last year and 23 countries. That’s how much we love it. The coffee is selected and roasted by the owners, who travel throughout the year to small farmers and pay a fair price. The pastries are 100% made from scratch. The pastry takes 3 days to make. You won’t find any like it anywhere else in the world. The menus change every couple of weeks. Today’s choices for us were, smoked bechamel kimchi, pine pumpkin & fig and a tiramisu croissant tart. Come on Michelin, get this place in the book!
