Craft Coffee & Pastry

Craft Coffee & Pastry is located at Gerard Doustraat 103A in Amsterdam-Zuid. The venue is situated in De Pijp, near the Albert Cuypmarkt. The Amsterdam location is documented as open from Wednesday through Saturday, from 10:00 to 16:00. The business combines a coffee bar with a bakery and patisserie, with a strong emphasis on gluten-free products.

The founders are Gerry and Nilüfer. They opened the first Craft Coffee & Pastry on June 5, 2020, in Amsterdam. The company’s background is linked to Gerry’s diagnosis of celiac disease in 2014. According to available business information, the founders subsequently visited gluten-free and regular bakeries and coffee bars in the Netherlands and abroad. They also delved into gluten-free baking in Italy.

The concept is described by the company as a fully gluten-free coffee bar, bakery, and patisserie. The offering includes, among other things, croissants, bread, puff pastry products, and patisserie without gluten. Additionally, lactose-free and vegan options are mentioned. This allows the venue to cater not only to coffee lovers but also to visitors with specific dietary needs or food restrictions.

For coffee, Craft Coffee & Pastry lists espresso, cappuccino, and other coffee specialties. These are made with coffee from Nordkapp. Nordkapp Coffee is a roastery based in Utrecht. The roastery was opened in 2015 by Jasper Overdevest. The available information identifies Nordkapp as the coffee supplier but provides no further details about the specific coffee served in Amsterdam.

No publicly documented data was found regarding manual brewing methods at Craft Coffee & Pastry Amsterdam. Methods such as filter coffee, V60, AeroPress, or batch brew are not mentioned in the reviewed information. As a result, the coffee portion of the profile remains largely limited to espresso-based drinks and general coffee specialties. Further public data is lacking for a substantive assessment of the coffee program.

The documented food offering consists of various gluten-free bakery products. The webshop lists, among others, croissant naturel, croissant chocolate, croissant almond, croissant cheese, and croissant ham and cheese. Also mentioned are filled cake, pistachio cake, chocolate chip cookies, and various crostata’s. This list shows that the company offers both breakfast-style products and sweet pastries.

The combination of coffee and gluten-free pastry forms the core of the concept. The patisserie is not described as a side business, but as an important part of the business setup. However, the available information does not provide technical details about recipes, flour types, or production processes. No tasting notes or product reviews are mentioned either. The profile therefore remains limited to publicly documented product names and categories.

In addition to the Amsterdam location, there is information about business delivery to the hospitality sector and hotels. Craft Coffee & Pastry documents its offering for the business market, particularly gluten-free bread and croissants. It is noted that the company did not, at that time, supply products to retail stores for resale. This information points to a business model where direct sales and delivery to hospitality locations coexist.

In May 2021, a crowdfunding campaign for growth was described by Miss Glutenvrij. According to that publication, the maximum amount was reached within a week. The same source links the location in Almere to the need for a larger production space. It also mentions demand from the hospitality sector for gluten-free rolls. Later, Craft Coffee & Pastry was also described in connection with locations in Arnhem, Almere, and Amsterdam.

There is little concrete public documentation regarding sustainability at Craft Coffee & Pastry itself in the available information. The company states that the bakery products are gluten-free and refers to allergen information. Broader policies on energy, packaging, waste, transport, or ingredients are not included in the provided material. Therefore, a broader sustainability profile cannot be established based on this data.

For coffee, Nordkapp is the documented supplier. Nordkapp itself communicates about a fair and responsible approach and about the network of producers and chain partners. This is information from the roastery, not from Craft Coffee & Pastry as a separate origin declaration. Specific origin data at the farm level for the coffee served in Amsterdam is not publicly documented in the reviewed Craft sources.

Craft Coffee & Pastry is mentioned in various publications and platform listings. Nieuw Amsterdams Peil published an article in February 2021 about the shop on Gerard Doustraat, the gluten-free assortment, and the founders Gerry and Nilüfer Mulder. Miss Glutenvrij also wrote about the Amsterdam shop and linked Gerry to De Glutenvrije Man. Barts Boekje included Craft Coffee & Pastry in a 2022 article about gluten-free addresses in Amsterdam.

In 2024, Bakkers in bedrijf published a premium article about the gluten-free concept and named Gerry and Nilüfer Mulder as the owners of Craft Coffee & Pastry in Arnhem, Almere, and Amsterdam. HappyCow lists the Amsterdam shop as a bakery and cafe with information about gluten-free and vegan options. No publicly documented prices or awards were found in the provided material.

Craft Coffee & Pastry is an Amsterdam-based coffee bar, bakery, and patisserie with a clear gluten-free focus. The business originated from a personal background and evolved into a concept offering both retail sales and commercial delivery. For coffee enthusiasts, the most relevant detail is that the shop uses coffee from Nordkapp, though further information on brewing methods and origins is limited. As a result, the available picture is factual but incomplete.
