Amsterdam Village
From morning brew to evening pour
At the corner of North Highland and Amsterdam Ave, Amsterdam Village is one of the district's relatively smaller blocks, but you'll be pleasantly surprised by how much you can do. Coffee counters and shaded patios are within a few steps of each other, and it's easy to spend a whole day here without moving your car or bike.
San Francisco Coffee anchors the corner with its popular Shaken Honey Suckle latte, ample seating, and a cozy atmosphere that suits a morning of work just as easily as a slow read. A few steps away, Bring It Om Yoga offers heated power flow classes, friendly instructors, and a flexible class schedule, while Highland Pet Supply keeps the neighborhood's dogs and cats stocked with toys, essentials, and the occasional grooming appointment.
Around the corner, Highland Nails has built a loyal following on meticulous, high-quality mani-pedis. And when it's time to think ahead, Bequest offers flat-fee estate planning consultations in a warm and welcoming office, complete with a jar of dog treats out front.
As evening settles in, the block's dining scene comes alive. Three standout international restaurants sit tucked into this stretch: Mediterranean mezze platters at Ela, gluten-free Mexican fare at Rosa Cantina, and flavor-forward Thai dishes at Mali Thai & Sushi. Between the patios and the plates, it's one of the best blocks in the district to end a day.
Small in size but full in spirit, Amsterdam Village carries you from your first cup to your last glass without leaving the block.
