Back to Black Amsterdam West: for good, black coffee with a story (and apple pie)

Back to Black Amsterdam West for your dose of Caffeine

Back to BlackYou know, that great coffee spot near Museumplein is getting a second location! This coffee haven will soon open its doors in West on Van Hallstraat. Owners Noortje Vlutters and Inge Bulthuis traveled for years and often found themselves enjoying a cup of coffee at a local coffee bar on the other side of the world. Although they kept saying they wanted to own such a lovely, homey coffee bar themselves, it didn't happen for a long time. Inge did an internship in Australia and became interested in coffee. After graduating, she ended up in the coffee industry but couldn't quite find her niche... And voilà, after a tete-a-tete with Noortje, there was Back to Black Amsterdam West. Thank goodness, otherwise we would have missed this spot!

The coffee served at Back to Black Amsterdam West is coffee they've personally selected and purchased from various importers, or even directly from the farmer. Bruno Souza is one such farmer; his daughter studies in the Netherlands and works as a barista in this coffee paradise. The Brazilian coffee served is from her father! In other words, coffee with a story!

So cool: Inge had been dreaming for years of roasting her own coffee and starting her own roastery, and you guessed it: she did it! Back to Black Amsterdam West has its own roastery in the Amsterdam Westpoort industrial estate. And besides the roastery, you'll also find the bakery where they make and bake all their own cakes. Oh my... it must smell so good there every day!

At Back to Black Amsterdam West, you can order one (or more) of their homemade pies and cakes alongside your black coffee. They also have savory snacks like quiches and puff pastry. The new location also offers toasted sandwiches – delicious! Tip: definitely try the apple pie, which has been made for three years using a secret recipe ;-)

Sustainability is also important to Back to Black Amsterdam West, so everything you can get here is vegetarian, vegan, or made with organic ingredients. They make everything themselves so they know exactly what's in our products. Thumbs up!
