It started with one coffee bar on the Van Baerlestraat.
Van Baerlestraat
Cafecito opened on the Van Baerlestraat in Amsterdam, a short walk from the Museumplein. The idea was simple: serve coffee that is more than strong or quick, and make it easy for people to try specialty coffee for the first time.
From one bar to many
One café became several. Along the way we started roasting our own coffee, and gave the rooms the same attention as the cup: how they look, how they sound, how long you feel welcome to stay.
What stayed the same
Cafecito has grown. Three things haven’t changed.
Coffee
Coffee first
It is what we do best, and where every decision starts.
Space
Calm rooms
Minimal interiors, built to be quiet in a busy city.
People
A proper welcome
Quick when you’re in a hurry, unhurried when you’re not.
Every Cafecito sits in a street with its own pace, and each café takes on a little of it. Some fill up with takeaway orders at eight. Others with laptops and long conversations at three.
The coffee is the same everywhere. It comes from our own roastery.
Our own roastery
Everything we serve, we roast. Visit the roastery.
Design
Every café has its own character. You'll still recognize all of them.
Stay or go
Take it away or take a table. Both are fine.
