About
Café Bica is a Portuguese coffee bar in Amsterdam on Weesperzijde, known for its specialty coffee, pastéis de nata, and a peaceful atmosphere along the Amstel River. Located on the waterfront, Café Bica is a relaxed spot where both locals and tourists gather for coffee, breakfast, or lunch. The name “bica” refers to the Portuguese version of espresso, which has a slightly milder and more approachable flavor. The menu features high-quality coffee, including classic espressos and specialty drinks, complemented by matcha variations, fresh juices, and homemade treats. The famous pastéis de nata are a favorite, as are the freshly made sandwiches and ciabattas. The interior is warm and light, with soft earth tones and Portuguese tiles that create a stylish and homey atmosphere. This makes the café not only perfect for a quick coffee, but also for a relaxing moment, a workspace, or a quiet break during a day in Amsterdam. Café Bica was founded by Kae Sutherland and brothers Diego and Carlo Teixeira, known for their restaurant Bam Boa. With their background in hospitality, they bring a combination of quality, simplicity, and atmosphere to this spot on the Amstel. Thanks to its central location and relaxed ambiance, Café Bica is an ideal stop for anyone looking for a great coffee spot in Amsterdam—away from the hustle and bustle yet still close to the city center.
