CT's signature savoury toast combines the brightness of miso with creamy avocado, tangy feta, and briny olives, all built on thick-cut house sourdough. The scrambled eggs are soft and not overworked, and reviewers specifically call out the balance of salt and umami from the miso and feta.
Tips from diners
Ask for extra sourdough on the side — the single slice isn't always enough to scoop up all the mix.
These are dense, slightly chewy pancakes that eschew traditional wheat flour entirely. The almond and buckwheat base creates an almost nutty base flavor, and the blueberry compote and toasted coconut on top add brightness and crunch. Reviewers note they're substantial enough to feel like a full meal despite being smaller than typical stacked pancakes.
Tips from diners
These are filling — one plate easily satisfies, and sharing isn't necessary.
CT roasts their own granola, and you can taste the care in the spice balance and nutty brown edges. The mix of textures (oats, nuts, seeds) and the tartness of cranberries make this more interesting than typical café granola. It's served with house yogurt or can be made vegan with their plant-based alternative.
Tips from diners
Ask for the vegan yogurt option — their plant-based yogurt is creamier and more interesting than many cafés.
This dish changes with the season but always features poached eggs (cooked to a soft yolk) atop house sourdough, with vegetables that highlight whatever's at market. The pickled radish provides acidity, the grilled broccolini brings smoke and char, and the parmesan adds savoury depth without overwhelming the delicate yolk.
Tips from diners
This is the best vegetarian option — seasonal vegetables mean it's never boring when you visit multiple times.
This is the lighter option on the menu but still substantial. The almond pesto adds texture and depth, the burrata provides creaminess, and the oven-roasted tomatoes concentrate their flavour. The smoked almonds on top prevent it from feeling delicate or understuffed.
Tips from diners
This works great as a light lunch if you're visiting mid-day — it sits well without feeling heavy.
CT Coffee & Coconuts occupies a restored 1920s cinema on Ceintuurbaan with soaring ceilings, original architectural details, and an indoor garden that creates a resort-like atmosphere in central Amsterdam. The team roasts specialty coffee in-house and pairs it with all-day brunch built around sourdough, coconut pancakes, and seasonal vegetables. The greenhouse coffee roastery is visible from the dining room.
The ceiling height and cinema architecture are part of the experience — try to get a seat facing the original chandeliers if the café isn't packed.
Ask the barista what single-origin they're running that day — they roast small batches and rotate through their selection.
The outdoor seating along Ceintuurbaan is sunny and people-watch-friendly — arrive before 11am on weekends to secure a table outside.
