Cobra Café - Amsterdam

We stopped at Cobra for a break and a quick bite to eat between museums. It's near the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and MOCO museum. There were a few food trucks outside these museums, but on a rainy, cold day, I just wanted to sit indoors, relax, warm up, and decompress for a bit. I tried the hot chocolate, which was warm, delicious, and less sweet than American hot chocolate, and my husband had a latte. We brought in what was left of a soda from the food truck, and the server told him he wasn't allowed to bring in outside food or beverages (even though we both ordered inside the restaurant). We shared an order of poffertjes, which are mini pancakes with powdered sugar and butter, and they hit the spot. You can find Dutch foods here as well, so it's a good chance to check those items off your list if you're in Amsterdam for a short time. This isn't a must-stop, but it was the right place at the right time in the Museum District.

Near the Van Gogh Museum. We enjoyed after lunch coffee before it's time to visit the Van Gogh Museum with our timed tickets. Decent Flat White: Nothing special but hits the spot. Service was fast, friendly and efficient!

Right in the middle of the museum district. Great stop for a good beer and fries! It's a cute little Café enclosed in glass with a nice center bar. Service was good and quick!

I want 1/2 stars , as this restaurant wasn 't quite 4 stars, but not is it a flat 3; going with 3.5 's. The staff is courteous welcoming. You can pick inside patio, side patio, today the inside was completely reserved. For snacks we had the chicken avocado sammie with truffle mayonnaise Parmesan cheese, an order of chicken nuggets an order of fries. When the nuggets arrived, I thought it was a child 's dish, but overall they nuggets were tasty. Hubby had the chicken avocado sammie, which came with truffle mayonnaise. There was a pint of beer a soft drink. The meal was okay. People watching from this venue lends itself well. Great spot to catch a bite when you 're coming out of the museum.

We stopped here for lunch after visiting the museum. Friendly staff, great views of the park, and plenty of seating. I ordered the chicken avocado sandwich and an orange juice. It was simple, fresh, and really good.
