Coffee and Cafés of Amsterdam (#)
„And Dutch traders were quick to exploit the potential of the black brew, setting up the earliest coffee plantations and using the proceeds to fuel themselves as well as their nascent stock market. But even though Amsterdam, along with London, was one of the twin centres of the early worldwide coffee network, consumption at home was generally the quick and bitter fix that became the standard fare for caffeine starved workers. Of course there were specialty shops like Geels>> that served the more sophisticated tastes but, in the main, coffee in cafés was seen as simply a chaser for alcoholic stuff flavoured with hops or juniper. The entrepreneurial spirit of the Dutch, however, knew a good thing when they sniffed it.“

„Inside, on the ground floor of the Film Museum, is the Cafe Vertigo. After working hours, around six to seven in the evening, the place is mobbed - no matter what day it is. Ordering a drink takes a bit of perseverance as everyone crushes up against the counter waving guilders at the hassled bartender.“
