Galerie CoffeeShop YoYo is De Pijp's beloved neighbourhood café where Amsterdam's creative spirit pours into every cup. Tucked on Tweede Jan van der Heijdenstraat, we blend Dutch coffee culture with a warm gallery atmosphere that feels unmistakably this corner of the city.
YoYo grew from Amsterdam's richest neighbourhood tradition — the idea that a café should be more than a place to drink coffee, but a living room for the street. De Pijp has always drawn artists, market traders and free thinkers, and our walls have quietly held their conversations for years. We serve each cup with the unhurried warmth of a bruine kroeg and the curiosity of an Amsterdam gallery.
Explore MoreSlow-brewed filter coffee made from single-origin beans selected with Amsterdam's discerning café culture in mind. Each cup honours the Dutch ritual of taking time — best enjoyed at the window watching De Pijp wake up.
YoYo doubles as a genuine gallery, showcasing rotating works by Amsterdam-based and emerging Dutch artists throughout the year. Sipping your espresso beneath original art is not an affectation here — it is simply Tuesday in De Pijp.
From stroopwafel-inspired pastries to freshly prepared sandwiches, our kitchen keeps things honest, local and unfussy. Everything on the board is made to complement an afternoon in one of Amsterdam's most storied neighbourhoods.
Step inside and the hum of De Pijp fades into something quieter — wooden tables, art on every wall and the low murmur of Amsterdam conversation. Whether you arrive after the Albert Cuyp Market or settle in for a long afternoon read, YoYo holds the kind of unhurried space this city does best.
"YoYo is the café I always point visitors to when they want to understand what Amsterdam really feels like away from the tourist centre. De Pijp has nothing better for a long Saturday morning with a filter coffee and something on the walls worth staring at."
"I come here after every Albert Cuyp Market run — it has become a non-negotiable part of my Amsterdam Saturday. The coffee is genuinely excellent and the gallery rotation means there is always something new to sit with."
"I visited Amsterdam for the weekend and a local insisted I skip the chains and find YoYo instead — she was completely right. It feels like the real De Pijp: creative, unhurried and quietly proud of itself."
