Het Ballonnetje translates in English as “The Balloon”, and it’s a beautiful, cosy coffeeshop located right in front of the UVA – University of Amsterdam. We’re actually one of the oldest coffeeshops in the city, first opening our doors in 1978 and regarded all over the world as one of the best Coffeeshops in Amsterdam. That’s why a visit to Het Ballonnetje is an absolute must on your trip to Amsterdam.
