What is different about Loft?

Loft is a takeaway shop: you choose at the counter and go on your way. There is no seating.

It is spacious, with wide doors and step-free access, which makes it the easiest of the Amsterdam shops to enter with a wheelchair or a pram.

The regulars come from all over the world. It is that kind of neighbourhood.
