Amsterdam-Oost lies across the Amstel from the center.1 It became a single borough in 2010 and had almost 123,000 inhabitants in 2013; its neighborhoods include the Oosterparkbuurt, the Dapperbuurt, the Indische Buurt, Watergraafsmeer, which the city annexed in 1921, and the Science Park.2
Oost was mostly polder farmland until the 19th century. Industry brought newcomers from the Dutch provinces, the Caribbean and Suriname, and later from Turkey and Morocco, and Surinamese and Indonesian tokos (shops) still line its streets.1 Coffee comes from Turkish bakeries as well as from specialty bars that roast their own beans.13

Oosterpark and the Dappermarkt
Oosterpark was the first large park laid out by the city, on the site of an old cemetery that had to be moved; its English landscape design is by Leonard Springer.41 The National Slavery Monument was unveiled there on 1 July 2002, and every 1 July the park hosts Keti Koti, the festival marking the abolition of slavery in 1863.4
The Dappermarkt became an official market street in 1910 and runs Monday to Saturday, 09:00–17:00.5 Kaffee, on Dapperplein, set out to be a no-frills alternative to the specialty bars, with €1 espressos and discounts on plant-based milk; its nooks fill with people working through the day.6
The Indische Buurt and Javastraat
The Indische Buurt's streets are named after the islands and places of the former Dutch East Indies; the first was named in 1902. Javastraat is its main shopping street, with boutiques, cafés and restaurants, and Muiderpoort station on the western edge has linked the area to the rail network since 1939.7
On Javaplein, the bathhouse that served the neighborhood from 1942 to 1982 is now Badhuis, an all-day café and brasserie that serves coffee and croissants in the morning.73 De Jonge Admiraal is on Javastraat, Chantilly on Molukkenstraat, and Lunchroom Oase on Celebesstraat opens at 07:00 on weekdays.
Roasters and espresso bars
Stooker has roasted specialty coffee in Amsterdam since 2014, in small weekly batches, and is a certified B Corporation; its café is on Kastanjeplein.8 Coffee Bru on Beukenplein brews filter coffee roasted by Rum Baba, a roaster that also runs its own café in Oost, and 4850 on Camperstraat is a fine-dining restaurant by night that serves Scandinavian-roasted coffee on its terrace by day.3
Nini's Coffeebar, across Beukenplein, opens at 07:30 every day. Further east, YUSU on Andreas Bonnstraat opens at 08:00 from Wednesday to Friday, and Harvey on Galileïplantsoen starts at 08:00 Monday to Saturday.
Working cafés and late hours
Werkplaats, the café of the Volkshotel at Wibautstraat 150, is in the former office building where the national newspaper De Volkskrant was produced. It has free Wi-Fi, tables with power outlets and bookable work cubicles.6
East, on Eerste Ringdijkstraat, is open every day from 07:00 to 01:00. Meram Cafe on Linnaeusstraat serves until midnight every day and Q Cafe on Atlantisplein from Tuesday to Saturday, while The Greek Embassy on Weesperzijde, along the Amstel, stays open until 23:00.
