Scandinavian Embassy is a small specialty coffee bar facing Sarphatipark in De Pijp, Amsterdam. It opened on October 19, 2013, and has spent over a decade pouring coffee from Scandinavia’s leading specialty roasters alongside homemade pastries. Coffee lovers come for precise, light-roast Nordic brews, and brunchers come for the calm, pared-back room (Findglocal).
The menu centers on espresso drinks and filter coffee from rotating Scandinavian roasters. The café describes its mission as “coffee excellence” and showcasing the region’s roasting talent (Scandinavian Embassy). Pastries are made in-house, and the café has stressed organic milk and local produce since opening day. The interior uses pale wood, rustic textures and very little clutter, and the windows look onto the park’s lawns.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Opening hours are 8:00am–5:00pm Monday to Friday and 9:00am–5:00pm on Saturday and Sunday (Scandinavian Embassy). Seating is limited, so weekend late mornings fill quickly. Arrive at opening or come after 2:00pm for an easier table. If you want to compare roasters, order a filter coffee and ask the baristas what is currently on the grinder. De Pijp metro station on line 52 is a short walk away. You can pair your visit with the Albert Cuyp Market a few blocks north or a stroll through Sarphatipark itself.
