About De Koffiesalon Oud-West


De Koffiesalon Oud-West: A Profile of an Amsterdam Coffee Bar

De Koffiesalon Oud-West is located at 1e Constantijn Huygensstraat 82 in Amsterdam. Public records list the establishment as a café in the Oud-West neighborhood. Current opening hours are listed as daily from 07:00 to 18:00. This address has been associated with a De Koffiesalon location since approximately 2010, reflecting the chain’s long-standing presence in Amsterdam.

History and organization

Public sources identify Diederik Habbema as the owner of De Koffiesalon. No separate public information was found regarding the specific founder or founders of the Oud-West location. It is known, however, that Habbema has a background in hospitality, direct marketing, and advertising. Previous profiles describe him as a hospitality entrepreneur with prior roles in the communications industry.

On its own Instagram profile, De Koffiesalon is described as a group with three Amsterdam locations and five locations at Schiphol. The name refers to a concept centered around coffee, pastries, and a café function. Additionally, the Oud-West location appears in local directories of shops and hospitality venues in the area. The available information primarily portrays it as a staple neighborhood spot rather than a location with a separately developed concept.

Location and Community Role

The establishment is situated in Oud-West, on a street home to several hospitality and coffee businesses. BIZ Oud-West lists De Koffiesalon under the Food & Drinks category. It is noted that the venue features terraces on both sides of the building. De Westkrant also mentioned the location in an article about reading tables in Amsterdam-West, referencing newspapers and a reading table.

Available sources mention no fixed workshops, tastings, exhibitions, or recurring public events for this specific location. There are, however, app-based commercial offers for the venue. This information primarily relates to sales promotions rather than a structural role as an event venue.

Coffee and Brewing

The documented coffee roaster for De Koffiesalon is Buscaglione Espresso. This relationship is mentioned on De Koffiesalon’s Instagram profile and on the hospitality page of Buscaglione. The available menu for Oud-West lists various coffee drinks, including espresso, ristretto, cappuccino, flat white, americano, cortado, koffie verkeerd, mocha, and iced coffee. Chai latte and variants with cold or hot preparations are also mentioned.

A complete public list of the current equipment in Oud-West is unavailable. A 2012 article about the Utrechtsestraat location mentioned Buscaglione coffee, a Mirage Triplette Classic Idrocompresso machine from Kees van der Westen, and a lack of latte art. However, this information does not specifically pertain to Oud-West. Therefore, it cannot be linked to the current location without reservation.

Pastries, Matcha, and Other Products

Alongside coffee, pastries play a key role in the concept. De Koffiesalon Bakt states that pastries are made in their own bakery located beneath the Spuistraat location. According to this information, these products can be ordered at all De Koffiesalon locations, including Oud-West. Thus, the bakery is organizationally linked to the broader group.

Regarding matcha, available sources name Yoisho as the supplier for De Koffiesalon locations in Amsterdam and at Schiphol. The source provides no separate specification per location. Therefore, it can only be established that the supply pertains to the group as a whole, and not demonstrably to a separate assortment in Oud-West.

Sustainability and origin

The dedicated page for De Koffiesalon Oud-West provides no detailed public information regarding sustainability or sourcing. The most concrete data comes from Buscaglione Espresso, the documented roaster. Buscaglione states that they work with specialized importers. The company also reports that a growing portion of their coffee is Fairtrade certified, Rainforest Alliance certified, or traceable via the NKG Verified Sustainable Sourcing program.

Buscaglione also mentions that it has introduced blends in the Netherlands with full Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade certification. In October 2025, the company reported a life cycle analysis for the BAR Blend. This cited 9.30 kilograms of CO2 equivalent per kilogram of coffee. For a packaging unit of six times one kilogram, 55.77 kilograms of CO2 equivalent were mentioned.

Furthermore, Buscaglione states that the roastery in Pomezia utilizes rooftop solar panels, supplemented by green energy. According to the company, transport to Nederland is handled largely by train. For Dutch logistics, it is reported that 90 percent takes place via DHL Go Green. These details pertain to Buscaglione and not to the specific sustainability policy of the Oud-West location.

Press and Public Mentions

De Koffiesalon appears in various hospitality reports and local overviews. Misset Horeca reported in 2012 that the location on the Utrechtsestraat ranked number 1 in that year’s Coffee Top 100. That report also named Buscaglione as the roaster and Diederik Habbema as the owner. This mention does not concern the location at the 1e Constantijn Huygensstraat.

A later Misset Horeca report from 2015 concerned a new Oud-West location near the Kinkerstraat and Ten Katemarkt. That address does not match the current official listing at 1e Constantijn Huygensstraat 82. Recent public lists do mention the current location as part of the Amsterdam coffee landscape. This demonstrates primarily the continuity of the name and location, while many details regarding daily operations are not publicly documented.
