Really nice cafe with a great atmosphere. Very friendly service. I had a coffee and a cheesecake. The coffee was delicious and the cheesecake was very nice too. There was also a very friendly dog hanging out in the cafe.

First of all, amazing, unique atmosphere - great music, nice art works in the space, creative environment. Then food! Really homemade, and you can really tell... I've felled in love with OKO's cakes, especially the spinach one. Coffee made me grab another one, so I went for the chocolate one. DELICIOUS! Really love the vibe, super nice people working over there. I've actually met some amazing people over there who already knew about this spot and we had spontaneous conversation - I guess this place naturally attracts interesting human beings ;) Thank you for this great treat!

Very cozy and nice place. The staff is super friendly and kind and the food delicious. We had some traditional Polish pierogi, buckwheat waffles and spinach-mascarpone cake. Everything was great (especially the interesting cake). Too bad the place is not closer to the centre so that we can visit it more often.

A very chill and home like cafe, with pretty friendly staff and good quality home made food. The coffee was also great, the glasses weren’t. I know they look nice but it’s not practical to drink from hot glass without handles ;)

Amazing place! The vibe is really cool, service is amazing with great people, and the food is outstanding. I had Ukrainian Pierogi and it was outstanding. Prices are reasonable and there’s a dog there that keeps you company and can even play with you. I truly recommend this place, one of the best restaurants I’ve been in Amsterdam.

Excellent Polish pierogi, zapiekanka, cakes and coffee are all served in a welcoming, inclusive atmosphere. The owner was very accommodating and made sure we had a wonderful time. Vegan and vegetarian dishes on the menu. The oat milk cappuccino was amazing. Perfect for lunch or brunch.
