This morning I had my morning cappuccino for take away at Coffee to Walk, a new small neighbour-hood coffee shop on Plantage Middenlaan in Amsterdam. The place seemed new, but already crowded. The name of the coffee shop suggests a take away, but there are a few places to sit and even a children corner.

The barista took much care preparing the coffee, and even reloaded in between pressing the freshly ground coffee beans. The frothed milk is UHT milk, brand Vriessche Vlag Volle Melk from carton. I could not taste any bitterness in the cappuccino, but a good round flavour. The milk foam did not melt before I had finished the coffee. The paper cup was well-coated, but lacked insulation.

• Temperature: optimal
• Flavour: full and round
• Bitterness: none
• Price: medium, 3.20 Euro

Summary: I will return to try the espresso for drink-in.
