BQ Canteen

Artistic food & serious coffee

About us

BQ Canteen is a neighbourhood café in Amsterdam Oost, on the water at Oostpoort. From 10:00 to 16:00 we serve breakfast, brunch and lunch: sourdough toasts, our signature pancakes with Jersey cheese, homemade bakery and specialty coffee by Rumbaba.

Simple, thoughtfully plated food, quality ingredients and a clean interior that still feels cozy and inviting.

Yes, and you’ll love our terrace by the water.
