Doppio Espresso Amsterdam Zuidas is described through its history, coffee menu, origin information, local events, and public inspection data.
About Doppio Espresso Amsterdam Zuidas
History and Concept
Doppio Espresso Amsterdam Zuidas is located at Gustav Mahlerlaan 16 in Amsterdam. The branch is part of the Doppio Espresso formula, which, according to available company information, was started in 2007 by Peter van Eijl. The first location was in Groningen. The Zuidas branch was mentioned in trade media in May 2017 as the 31st location of the chain. Enver Varisli was named as the franchisee associated with this location.
The Doppio Espresso concept is described at the brand level around Italian coffee culture, hospitality, and the idea of living calmly. In practice, the Zuidas branch combines coffee with breakfast and lunch. This places the establishment within a broader hospitality profile that focuses not only on espresso but also on daily consumption moments around work, meetings, and breaks. Due to its location on the Zuidas, the branch is situated in an area with many offices and business visitors.
Coffee and Brewing
The available menu of Doppio Espresso Amsterdam Zuidas lists a wide range of coffee drinks. These include black coffee or filter coffee, espresso, ristretto, Americano, espresso macchiato, cortado, cappuccino, flat white, caffè latte, and latte macchiato. Additionally, caffè mocha, vanilla latte, caramel macchiato, and tiramisu cappuccino are on the menu. This list shows that the branch offers both classic espresso drinks and sweeter coffee preparations.
The menu also mentions that coffees are available as decaf. For milk drinks, plant-based options are included, such as oat milk. For iced coffees, iced cappuccino, iced latte, iced caramel macchiato, iced tiramisu macchiato, and iced cinnamon roll macchiato are listed. Regarding equipment, it was reported at the opening that the branch operated with a Kees van der Westen Mirage espresso machine. A publicly confirmed collaboration with Keen Coffee was not found in the available material. However, Doppio sources document a Classic Espresso Blend and a house blend.
Origin, tea, and sustainability
Available information on origin varies by product line. Doppio Espresso describes the Classic Espresso Blend as a blend of Arabica beans from Brazil, Colombia, and Ethiopia. The menu of the Zuidas branch also mentions a house blend that is composed in Italy from coffees from Latin America and East Asia. This data provides insight primarily at the brand and menu level. Specific suppliers for the Zuidas branch, beyond the documented coffee blends and tea, are not publicly described in the provided material.
For tea, Blend Tea is named as the tea line of Doppio Espresso. According to available information, this collection was developed with a house blender. It is also mentioned that the tea bags are biodegradable. In terms of sustainability, Doppio Espresso mentions at the brand level choices such as green electricity, energy-efficient or LED lighting, waste separation, and purchasing products that are as fair as possible. Franchise holders are expected to use green electricity, apply energy-efficient lamps, and separate waste.
Local role and activities
No workshops, tastings, or exhibitions specifically organized by Doppio Espresso Amsterdam Zuidas were found in the consulted public information. However, the 2017 opening was linked to a cappuccino day on Tuesday, June 6 of that year. The location’s public Instagram description mentions catering as an activity, indicating that the venue is not limited to counter sales but also offers services beyond the regular café visit.
Enver Varisli appears in multiple public references as the entrepreneur behind the Zuidas location. In 2020, he was mentioned in a report about the reopening for takeaway during the pandemic restrictions. In 2025, he was listed as a participant in a panel on weekend entrepreneurship in the Zuidas area. This shows that the location is featured not only in news about coffee and hospitality, but also in discussions about the role of retail and hospitality in the district.
Press and compliance information
The opening of the location received attention in trade media in May 2017. The outlet was identified as the 31st Doppio Espresso location. In the same report, Enver Varisli was named as the involved franchisee. An opening text also mentioned previous recognitions for the Doppio Espresso brand, including mentions in coffee tests and chain awards. These recognitions are described as brand-level information and not as individual awards for the Zuidas location.
For current compliance information, the provided materials also include a public registration from the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority. It lists Doppio Espresso Amsterdam Zuidas at Gustav Mahlerlaan 16, 1082 LS Amsterdam, with a rating of “Compliant” for the inspected items. The inspection date listed is March 11, 2026. This registration reflects the controlled aspects at that time but does not provide a broader assessment of the coffee, service, or overall business operations.
