Back to Black - Cozy Coffee Bar with In-House Roastery
This café is the quintessential prototype of a trendy coffee shop - a bit of home office, a bit meeting spot for friends, a community table, design coffee equipment for sale, large windows, stylish furniture and incredibly skilled baristas.
We get exactly what we want – a delicious cappuccino, an excellent pour-over coffee and a scrumptious home-made apple pie, all accompanied by the cozy buzz of a bustling café.
Although the busy Museum Quarter is just a short walk away, Back to Black sits quietly along the small Lijnbaansgracht, tucked into a friendly residential neighbourhood.
No wonder we’re not the only ones who feel instantly at home here.
Noortje Vlutters and Inge Bulthuis long dreamed of a place where they could serve coffee from their own roastery and pastries from their own bakery in the atmosphere of a second living room.
In 2014, they brought their dream to life on Weteringstraat, and so perfectly that by 2018, they were able to open a second coffee bar on Van Hallstraat in northwest Amsterdam.
Sustainability, fair trade and organic products are as important to them in their coffee, as they are in their bakery in Amsterdam Westpoort.
And we can truly taste the difference whenever we retreat to the cozy haven of Back to Black.
