Coffee+Kids

Coffee+Kids is located at IJburglaan 1359 in IJburg, Amsterdam-Oost. According to their own website, the business is linked to Raquel and Urs as the owners. In other public listings, Raquel Feliu appears as the contact person, and a profile text mentions the Spanish owner, Raquel. Further public biographical details about the founders are not detailed in the consulted materials.

The opening date is not publicly documented in the available sources. However, a newsletter from the Willibrordschool dated November 15, 2023, shows that “coffee+kids” was already mentioned in connection with a small-scale after-school care service. By September 19, 2024, the location was also listed in an I amsterdam guide. Thus, its presence on IJburg has been publicly traceable at least since that period.

The concept combines coffee services with activities for children and parents. Their own site describes a layout divided into two parts: “Room 1: Coffee” and “Room 02: Creative”. In this setup, hospitality, a play area, workshops, and childcare come together. Additionally, the establishment is presented as a meeting place for parents and children. An external profile text summarizes this as an initiative by parents and teachers with a community-oriented approach.

Regarding the coffee, Coffee+Kids states they work with coffee from Lot Sixty One, also referred to as Lot 61. The business reports that both freshly brewed coffee and coffee beans are available. A formal list of brewing methods is not present on the consulted webpages, leaving it unclear which preparation methods are standard on the menu or part of the daily service.

However, public information provides a visual clue of manual filter brewing. The about page features an image description with a gooseneck kettle and a pour-over dripper. This indicates a pour-over setup on-site, though not necessarily a fully developed brew menu. Furthermore, the available texts mention coffee paired with pastries in the café area and loose beans available for sale.

Part of the drink offering is only indirectly visible to the public. In a mention by Amsterdam Mamas, a babyccino is mentioned. Additionally, Instagram search snippets reveal an Iced Neapolitan Latte and a Freddo Cappuccino. Since these drinks appear in fragments rather than a full, fixed menu, this reflects specific public mentions rather than a permanent assortment.

The public programming shows that Coffee+Kids operates as more than just a coffee shop. Their own schedule lists recurring activities for various target groups, emphasizing a combination of work, childcare, play, and music. The location uses this programming to connect different times of the day and different functions.

Additionally, there is space for private gatherings and children’s parties. The parties page mentions activities such as portrait painting, personalized T-shirts, arts and crafts, clay, disco, princess and pirate themes, theater, and slime or science. These activities clearly position the creative side of the business alongside the coffee offering. External mentions also highlight the location as a hub for collaborations and organized events.

The after-school care (BSO) operates as a separate component within the whole. According to the BSO page, children are picked up from Willibrord and Laterna Magica. The description includes indoor and outdoor play, creative workshops, snacks, lunch, and excursions during holidays or study days. As such, the location plays a structural role in the daily care of local children.

Public information regarding origin and sustainability remains limited. Coffee+Kids states that Lot Sixty One was chosen for its flavor and “principles”. Exactly which principles are referred to is not further explained. None of the consulted sources contain a detailed policy on certification, sourcing standards, waste management, or broader environmental goals for the caf’s operations.

It is publicly evident, however, that the coffee partner is Lot Sixty One Coffee Roasters. In its own communications, this roaster profiles itself as a company that roasts in Amsterdam. On an operational level, Heart of the Matter Foundation appears on the coworking page as a partner involved in the format with nanny services. Other concrete operational partners are not systematically detailed in the consulted source texts.

Coffee+Kids appears in several public guides and platform listings. The location is featured in an IJburg guide by I amsterdam and received a separate feature in Barts Boekje on January 20, 2025. Furthermore, directory or community listings appeared via Amsterdam Mamas, Kidsproof Amsterdam, Amsternannies, and Go-Kids. This indicates strong visibility within local parenting, leisure, and neighborhood media.

Formal distinctions or industry awards are not publicly documented in the researched material. The resulting image is therefore primarily that of a hybrid business in IJburg, where specialty coffee, children’s activities, coworking, and childcare come together under one roof. Within the public documentation, the emphasis lies less on technical coffee details and more on the combination of hospitality, creative programming, and family-oriented services.
