IJscuypje NDSM

IJscuypje NDSM is a location on the NDSM-werf in Amsterdam-Noord. The public profile text for the branch describes the offering as scooped ice cream, milkshakes, and coffee to go. External mentions place IJscuypje Noord NDSM at Ms. van Riemsdijkweg 30, 1033 RD Amsterdam. This places the location in an area where hospitality, workspaces, and public use of the shipyard converge.

The branch belongs to IJscuypje, a brand with roots in Amsterdam. According to its own description, the company started as a small ice cream parlor near the Albert Cuypmarkt. It later grew into a franchise formula with more than twenty locations in Amsterdam and the surrounding area. Amsterdam Made names Edwin de Koeijer as the founder. That source also mentions that he started with ice cream in Goes in 2000, before opening an Amsterdam shop.

The general concept of IJscuypje revolves around freshly prepared ice cream with a craft approach. The brand communication emphasizes fresh ingredients and traditional methods. No separate founding date or full location history for IJscuypje NDSM is publicly documented in the provided material. However, public Instagram snippets report that IJscuypje has returned to NDSM and is open daily.

The franchise format is relevant for interpreting the location. IJscuypje describes the formula as a network of branches with independent franchisees. According to that description, each location has its own team and entrepreneur. As a result, practices may vary per branch, even when the brand concept remains the same. For NDSM, no independent entrepreneur name, opening date, or separate business vision is recorded in the provided sources.

For coffee drinkers, the connection with 30ML Coffee Roasters is particularly important. Public Instagram snippets around IJscuypje NDSM show packaging and text from 30ML Coffee Roasters. 30ML itself states that it roasts coffee in its own roastery under that name. The webshop lists the address as Melkrijder 15D, 3861 SG Nijkerk.

The available information does not show a complete coffee menu specifically linked to IJscuypje NDSM. The location only mentions coffee to go. The 30ML menu does, however, provide insight into the types of drinks documented within that coffee brand. These include espresso, americano, filter coffee, pour over, espresso macchiato, cortado, cappuccino, latte, flat white, and latte macchiato.

In addition, 30ML also lists cold and non-classic coffee drinks, such as iced latte, frappiatto, and lavender iced latte. The same menu mentions matcha latte, iced matcha latte, hojicha latte, and iced hojicha latte. For preparation methods, espresso, filter coffee, and pour over are explicitly documented. However, it has not been established that all these drinks are available at IJscuypje NDSM.

The information on origin consists of two parts: ice cream and coffee. For the ice cream, IJscuypje states that their dairy ice cream is made with Jersey milk from Weerribben Zuivel in Overijssel. Amsterdam Made also describes the use of organic milk and local sourcing where possible. The same description notes that fruit and chocolate may also come from international suppliers.

For coffee, 30ML states that they select farmers and traders based on standards and their commitment to specialty coffee. The company tastes coffee before roasting and then roasts it in their own roastery. This information provides insight into the coffee supplier's working methods. It does not constitute a separate sustainability statement for IJscuypje NDSM as a standalone location. Specific sustainability measures for the NDSM branch are not publicly documented in the provided material.

Little specific information is available regarding activities around IJscuypje NDSM. Workshops, tastings, exhibitions, or organized events are not publicly documented in the provided material. No established local partnerships specifically linked to this branch were found either. The available profile information positions the business primarily as an amenity on the NDSM wharf, offering ice cream, milkshakes, and coffee to go.

No specific press coverage or award mentions for IJscuypje NDSM were found in the provided information. However, broader mentions of IJscuypje as a brand do exist. I amsterdam describes IJscuypje as a chain that started at the Albert Cuyp market and makes its own ice cream with fresh ingredients on location. MT/Sprout published an article in 2014 about Edwin de Koeyer (or De Koeijer) and IJscuypje. De Ondernemer published a profile in 2021 about Edwin de Koeyer and the brand, referencing 22 locations at that time.

A point of concern is the status of the NDSM listing. RestaurantGuru lists IJscuypje Noord at Ms. van Riemsdijkweg 30 and mentions reviews from Google and Foursquare. However, that same listing marks the location as permanently closed. This conflicts with recent public Instagram clips stating that IJscuypje has returned to NDSM. Based on the provided material, this remains a documented inconsistency.

IJscuypje NDSM can be seen as an Amsterdam-Noord branch within a broader ice cream formula with franchise locations. The available information indicates an offering of scooped ice cream, milkshakes, and coffee to go. For coffee, 30ML Coffee Roasters is the documented supplier, with espresso, filter coffee, and pour over recorded as preparation methods within the 30ML menu. For location-specific details, such as a full coffee menu, events, or a proprietary sustainability policy, the available material provides no confirmation.
