Cafe Sandro

the filter coffee here is what you should start with, assuming you want to understand what the place is actually doing. cafe sandro sits on leliegracht, one of the quieter canal streets in the jordan, and that location alone sets the tone for something unhurried. locals know it, return to it, treat it like a given rather than a discovery. specialty shops in amsterdam have real competition, so the ones that build a following in the jordan tend to be doing something consistently right. if you're coming in the afternoon, the espresso-based drinks hold up well past the morning rush. leliegracht 40 is an easy address to save.
