Amsterdam Next City Guide: Coffee... Beer and a Windmill

Between the Amsterdam East area and the Eastern docklands and only a short trip from Central Station and one of Amsterdams Local Markets 'Dappermarket' you can find a reall working windmill... Every day people stand in front of the mill making pictures. But passing by a few times a week I never really made a picture of it, but today I did!

I am a real coffee Lover and I love Dutch 'Coffee Company'. Some time ago they opened 'De Branderij' a Coffee roasters annex coffee bar. So if you feel like having a coffee in a calm area near the city centre this is the place to go. You can find the them on Zeeburgerpad (next to the windmill) (tram 10 or bus 22 from Central Station.
Please note this Coffee Company is now closed

If you are more of a beer lover, check out the Beer brewery next door in the windmill. At Bierbrouwerij ‘t IJ, they still sell the traditional Dutch Y-lake (IJmeer) beer.

Windmill Gooyer Funenkade 7. East of Amsterdam, Within walking distance of the Maritime museum. If you happen to be in the city on the first Saturday of the month, you might just catch the windmill in action.
