Previously a coffee house for workers where only beer was served in a time when the Teetotalers Movement was having influence in Amsterdam, this establishment is now a restaurant on the quiet and beautiful Kadijkplein, overlooking the National Maritime Museum (Het Scheepvaartmuseum).
These coffeehouses were built by employers to keep the working class from drinking too much alcohol. Coupons were handed out to get free coffee when there wasn’t enough work to go around. The only alcohol being served in a Coffeehouse was beer. Many of these Coffeehouses were demolished, but this one at Kadijksplein 4 got squatted in 1986 and saved from destruction. It’s been serving as a restaurant ever since. This is the old entrance. Arne Kuilman – Flickrstream

Dutch, French & Viennese Bread Bakery – Widow E.A. Rekers
From the Art Nouveau Jugendstil font style, this sign can be dated from 1890 – 1910 – with my estimate towards the later end of this period. According to the Dutch site Winkelstories – Rekers, Wed. EA, bakery was founded in 1878. The building has a date of 1896 – which may be when it was renovated. Now Kwakman bakery. Prinsengracht 462 / Leidsestraat corner
