Priesthood

The pale facade of the building at number 51 on Prins Hendrikkade with a rack of postcards by the open door, a Look Up sign and a Specialty Coffee chalkboard on the pavement

A volunteer run café tucked into a bookshop on Prins Hendrikkade, Priesthood began as a small pop up and stayed. It feels like a living room, with big windows over the street and a short coffee menu, and it is one of the few places in this stretch near Centraal Station pouring genuine specialty coffee.

Espresso comes from Uncommon, one of the city's best known roasters, while the filter rotates through guest roasters from the local scene such as Rum Baba, DAK and Friedhats. Cakes and pastries sit beside the machine. It keeps weekday hours only, opening late morning and closing at five.
