Clapham Specialty Coffee

Clapham Specialty Coffee is an espresso bar with an art space attached, tucked along Willemsparkweg in Oud-Zuid. The room takes its cues from art deco, and artists are invited to show and sell their work on the walls, so the view changes while you drink.

The coffee is bought freshly harvested and traceable, then roasted to a custom recipe at a local Amsterdam roastery, which means the range shifts with the harvest seasons. Pastries come in fresh from bakeries around the city, and beans are sold to take home.
