Zizou Coffee is a small kiosk and coffee bar in De Baarsjes, featuring Stooker coffee, pastries, juices, outdoor seating, and several public mentions regarding neighborhood activities.
About Zizou Coffee
History and Concept
Zizou Coffee is a small coffee shop located at Admiraal de Ruijterweg 4 in Amsterdam-West. The shop is situated in De Baarsjes, a neighborhood with many independent hospitality venues and local businesses. In public descriptions, Zizou Coffee is primarily identified as a kiosk or coffee bar. It is therefore not a large indoor café with many seats.
The available information suggests a compact setup. Coffee is sold from a kiosk, with seating available outside. This fits the type of neighborhood address where takeaway and short stays are central. The street-facing location makes the shop visible to residents, passersby, and people traveling through the neighborhood.
The founders are not publicly documented in the examined material. However, multiple profiles mention Benjamin and Patrick as the brothers running the business. It is also noted that they live in the neighborhood. Another source describes that a juice bar previously occupied the premises. The exact opening date has not been publicly established in the available material.
Zizou Coffee presents itself on its own social profile with specialty coffee, pastries, and juices. This description reflects the core of the offering. The shop also uses its own phrasing regarding gathering and coffee, but for a factual description, the combination of coffee, baked goods, and juice is most relevant.
Coffee and Brewing
For coffee, Zizou Coffee works with Stooker Coffee, also known as Stooker Specialty Coffee. This is reflected in multiple public profiles of the shop. Stooker is an Amsterdam-based roaster that, according to its own material, roasts in small weekly batches. The roaster works with seasonal coffees from Colombia, Peru, and Ethiopia, among others.
The coffee menu features standard espresso-based drinks and filter coffee. The listed beverages include latte, cappuccino, espresso macchiato, batch brew, Americano, flat white, espresso, and cortado. Iced lattes, strong double espressos, matcha, iced matcha, and other cold drinks are also mentioned. This creates an offering of both hot and cold options, with coffee as the clear foundation.
The equipment used is partially disclosed. Koffietje.nl mentions a La Marzocco machine. Both cow's milk and oat milk are documented as milk options. No clear information is available in the accessible materials regarding manual brewing methods beyond batch brew. The known data primarily points to espresso, milk-based drinks, and filter coffee.
Food and Other Drinks
In addition to coffee, Zizou Coffee also offers small food items. Public profiles mention toasties and fresh pastries. One profile notes that the pastries are sourced from Britton’s Bakery in De Pijp. This makes part of the food supply publicly traceable, although the full supplier network is not described.
Juices are also part of the business's own description. Additionally, cold drinks are mentioned in external profiles. The information does not provide a complete overview of all flavors, prices, or seasonal products. Therefore, the documented picture remains limited to the main lines of coffee, pastries, toasties, juice, and a few cold drinks.
Neighborhood Role and Activities
The business is described in various sources as a neighborhood-focused kiosk. This is linked to its scale, outdoor seating, and the mention that the operators live in the neighborhood. Its location in De Baarsjes plays a role in this. However, public information regarding its daily neighborhood function remains limited.
Several activities around Zizou Coffee have been documented. In an overview for King's Day 2025, a Zizou Coffee Blockparty was mentioned. Sebonsa wines and snacks from Stacks Deli were also noted. The social profile also contains indexed posts related to King's Day in Amsterdam.
Further online content was found regarding a Movement Series with Patrick Mordi. The available material provides little detail on the nature, scope, or frequency of this activity. No publicly documented workshops, tastings, or exhibitions were found. As a result, the event information remains incidental and not fully developed.
Sustainability and Origin
No concrete information about Zizou Coffee's own sustainability practices has been publicly documented in the investigated materials. There are no clear data on waste policy, energy use, packaging, or local sourcing beyond the mentioned suppliers. Therefore, no factual conclusion can be drawn on this matter.
The collaboration with Stooker Specialty Coffee is relevant to the origin of the coffee. Stooker states that it works with transparent sourcing, fair prices for farmers, and profiles developed in the Amsterdam roastery. Stooker also claims to be a certified B Corporation. This data pertains to the supplier, not automatically to all business processes of Zizou Coffee.
Press and Public Mention
Zizou Coffee appears in multiple public profiles covering Amsterdam's hospitality and coffee scene. These profiles list details such as the address, neighbourhood, type of establishment, roaster, milk options, opening hours, and parts of the menu. Descriptions also appear in guides about De Baarsjes and Amsterdam coffee shops.
Public attention focuses primarily on the kiosk format, the brothers Benjamin and Patrick, the location in De Baarsjes, and the use of Stooker coffee. For readers following Amsterdam's specialty coffee sector, Zizou Coffee serves as an example of a small, neighbourhood-focused coffee bar with a limited but documented offering.
