18. June 2018
We’ve arrived in Amsterdam for what will be an exciting week at the World of Coffee event. We look forward to catching up with old friends, valued clients and partners, while also forging connections with new people and companies, and learning more about their ideas and products.
Our plans for Amsterdam centre around our ‘Pop Up’ coffee bar, located on Quellijnstraat 80, open from 0800 to 1800, Tuesday 19th to Saturday 23rd of June. This is where we invite you to meet with our team to taste, discuss and share our philosophy and passion for coffee. We will feature our current seasonal line up as well as a selected number of ‘off menu’ surprises. We’re also excited to discuss new wholesale opportunities, and our recently announced New York City roastery.
Throughout the week, our pop up will also be hosting a number of events by some of our friends in the industry. We wanted our space to act as a platform for passionate individuals and companies to share their ideas and products with a like-minded group in a relaxed atmosphere.
Below is a schedule of what we have planned for the week.
