Is Signora Safani’s Al Ponte really as superb as her reviewers say? Believe it.

Happened on this small café when my friend and I took the ferry mistakenly from Amsterdaam Centrale. Had some coffee, and the woman helping us provided us with great service and suggestions for us tourists! Much appreciated.

Location, location, location. Al ponte is nothing special, a small kiosk that sells good coffee, italian sandwiches, ready made cakes and apple pie. What is great about this place are the terrific views. Not many tourists come here, but surprisingly the staff does not speak any Dutch. They are Italian and told me they are trying to learn. Normally, I get a bit annoyed but this lady was so sweet. I spilled some tomato on my white dress and she gave me a sponge with hot water and soap. A lot of people buy there coffee and sandwich to go and then hop on the ferry. But if the weather is nice it is wonderful to sit on the terrace and look at the water, the boats and the amazing skies. Hard to imagine that you ard only 5 minutes away from the Central Station. Definitely worth a visit!
