Bij Paul & Ninette

Bij Paul & Ninette is located at Hemonystraat 10 in Amsterdam. The shop is situated in De Pijp, a neighborhood in Amsterdam Zuid. Public profiles describe the address as a small-format venue offering coffee, pastries, wine, clothing, souvenirs, and gifts. As a result, the establishment does not fit neatly into a single category. Available data describe it less as a classic coffee bar and more as a combination of a café, a shop, and a local community hub.

The names Paul Verbunt and Ninette Gathier appear repeatedly in documentation surrounding the business. Ninette Gathier is listed as the owner of Bij Paul & Ninette, described as a coffee and wine boutique in Amsterdam. Paul Verbunt is referenced in public professional profiles in connection with Espresso Bar Bij Paul and Nine(T)Teen B & B from February 2014. These profiles also note his collaboration with Ninette Gathier as co-owners.

The history of the address is linked to Nine(T)Teen B&B at Hemonystraat 19. Public descriptions of that bed and breakfast state that Ninette started it in 2014. Reception, breakfast, bike rentals, tickets, inquiries, and coffee were handled across the street, at Hemonystraat 10. This connection shows that the coffee function was not separate from accommodation, hospitality, and neighborhood services.

The concept of Bij Paul & Ninette is described broadly in various sources. In addition to coffee, offerings include croissants, granola, smoothies, pastries, wine for home, clothing, gifts, and souvenirs. This gives the establishment the characteristics of a concept store. For coffee enthusiasts, the key point is that coffee is part of a wider range, with wine and retail products alongside breakfast and light bites.

Limited concrete data is available regarding the coffee itself. Public menu information lists coffee beans and ground coffee as a category within an offering for breakfast, lunch, and sandwiches. Beans from Mocca d’Or are mentioned, including Colombia Supremo and Costa Rica Tarrazu. This coffee is described in the available data as slow roast coffee.

A public post from a coffee account describes a cappuccino with Oatly oat milk for €4.50 and also mentions Mocca d’Or as the beans used. This is a specific data point, but it does not provide a complete picture of the current coffee menu. No documented details were found regarding equipment, grind size, recipes, or barista techniques.

Information on brewing methods remains limited. The data examined does not mention specific preparation methods such as filter coffee, pour-over, AeroPress, cold brew, or others. Therefore, it is not possible to make claims about a full specialty coffee program based on this information. The available data primarily points to espresso-based café consumption and the sale of beans or ground coffee.

In addition to coffee, wine plays a visible role in the public description of the business. Bij Paul & Ninette was mentioned in connection with wine tastings and wine sales. A public event from March 2015 mentions an end-of-month event at the venue, organized by Vino linea directa. In September 2024, it was publicly noted that wines could be tasted from 3:00 PM onwards.

Furthermore, Wijnsociëteit Amsterdam mentions activity around Bij Paul and Nine-T-Teen Bed & Boutique at Hemonystraat 10. Wijnsociëteit Online notes a collaboration between De Eenighe Amsterdamsche Wijnsociëteit, BIJ PAUL, and De Wijnbrief van Frans Verbunt. The location at Hemonystraat 10-12 is described as a wine shop and tasting room, with tastings for small groups by appointment.

The relationship with Café Slijterij Oosterling also appears in public information. It states that the location opens at 9:00 AM for coffee and breakfast. Coffee with a croissant is mentioned as a morning option. This information places the coffee function within a daily rhythm that begins with breakfast and later makes room for wine and retail sales.

Information about suppliers is primarily available through the network surrounding Café Slijterij Oosterling. For breakfast and lunch, meat from Slagerij Louman in the Jordaan, bread from a local bakery, smoked salmon from Gebroeders van der Fant in Urk, eggs from Mary Gold free-range hens, and cheese from Kaasboerderij De Witte Welle in Montfoort are mentioned. Regarding wine, it is noted that selected Maison Verthier wines are imported directly in collaboration with De Eenighe Amsterdamsche Wijnsociëteit.

For coffee, Mocca d’Or is the only clearly named roaster in the available data. Specific sustainability claims regarding Bij Paul & Ninette itself are not documented. No public information was found regarding waste policy, packaging, energy use, certification, or direct trade relationships for coffee. As a result, statements about sustainability are limited to the mentioned suppliers and products.

Bij Paul & Ninette appears in public sources as a coffee bar, wine shop, gift shop, and concept store. The business is visible via Instagram, Facebook, menu archives, local platforms, and wine sites. External lists also place the enterprise within Amsterdam’s offering of cafés and coffee shops. However, no independent awards, formal certifications, or editorial distinctions were found in the reviewed data.

The picture that emerges from the available information is that of a small-scale Amsterdam business with multiple functions. Coffee is a fixed component, but not the sole focus. Wine, breakfast, retail products, and the connection with Nine(T)Teen B&B also help define the profile. For readers following the specialty coffee sector, the combination of coffee, hospitality, and concept store is particularly relevant, alongside the limited public documentation on technique and origin.
