New in Amsterdam: friends Bas, Teun and Daan open bakery and coffee roastery KAF
Three friends named Bas, Teun, and Daan have opened KAF, a new bakery and coffee roastery located on the Prinsengracht in Amsterdam's Jordaan district. The shop specializes in house-made sourdough, artisanal coffee, and pastries, with the founders aiming to serve local residents.
Friends Bas Schaap, Teun van As, and Daan van den Berge have officially opened their bakery and coffee roastery, KAF, located on the Prinsengracht in the Jordaan neighborhood of Amsterdam. The trio combined their distinct professional backgrounds to create a space that offers sourdough bread, house-roasted coffee, pastries, and sandwiches. While Bas manages the bakery, Teun focuses on coffee roasting, and Daan oversees business operations, bringing together years of individual experience under one roof.
The friends, who have known each other since secondary school, decided to collaborate after discussing their respective skills and passion for craft products. They chose the name KAF for its simplicity and aesthetic appeal. Aiming to serve the local community rather than tourists, the team hopes to establish a loyal customer base in the neighborhood. They have also incorporated unique illustrations by artist Gaby Brunhoso into their branding, which may change over time, and are currently focused on ensuring their first location is a success before considering future expansion.
