From Beans to Brew: The Ethical Coffee Story at Our Espresso Bar

Welcome to Clapham Coffee, where every sip tells a story of ethics, quality, and art. Based in the heart of Amsterdam Oud Zuid, our espresso bar offers more than just an excellent cup of coffee; it’s an immersive experience blending the art deco elegance with the world of specialty coffee. Our mission is to create a haven for coffee enthusiasts and art lovers alike, a place where the vibrant pulse of Amsterdam meets the tranquility of a perfect brew. Here, every bean has a journey, and every journey respects both people and the planet.

The Journey of Our Coffee

Our coffee’s story begins long before it reaches your cup. Our commitment to ethical sourcing is not just about the end product; it’s about supporting a fair, responsible coffee trade that benefits everyone involved – from the farmer to the barista to you, the consumer.

In collaboration with local coffee bean originator(s) and roastery(s) in Amsterdam, we ensure that each bean is roasted to perfection, unlocking complex flavors and aromas. Our partners’ expertise in selecting and roasting beans complements our vision of providing an exceptional coffee experience. This partnership underlines our dedication to bringing you not just a beverage, but a cup of coffee rich in aroma, flavor and quality.

At Clapham Coffee, we believe that every choice we make has an impact. Ethical coffee sourcing is more than a trend; it’s a commitment to making a positive difference in the world. By choosing ethical coffee, we support practices that pay fair wages to farmers, promote sustainable farming methods, and ensure that every step in the coffee production process is conducted with respect for people and the environment.

Our commitment to ethical coffee translates to the quality of each cup. Ethically sourced beans are typically grown with greater care, leading to a superior flavor profile. As a result, by choosing ethically sourced coffee, everyone wins!
