Unpretentious canalside brown cafe locals never abandon
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed May 2026
The Oud-West branch of Amsterdam's public library sits inside De Hallen with a Belcampo reading cafe described as the living room of the neighbourhood, where you can take a coffee and a book amid the converted tram-depot architecture. A genuinely local cultural space, not a tourist attraction. A calm counterpoint to the food hall next door.
