Screaming Beans

the nine bends of the jordaan have a way of steering you somewhere good. runstraat is one of those streets that earns a second visit without trying very hard, and screaming beans sits right in the middle of that logic. it's a small shop, independently run, and the regulars who've made it a habit clearly know something. the coffee here is taken seriously, which means you're not getting a rushed pour or a bag that's been sitting on a shelf since the previous quarter. come on a weekday morning if you can, when the street is quieter and you've got somewhere to actually sit with whatever's in your cup.
