Mister Nata Albert Cuyp

Mister Nata Albert Cuyp is a retail outlet located on Albert Cuypstraat in De Pijp, Amsterdam-Zuid. The official website lists the postcode 1073 BD but does not specify a house number. On Instagram, the location is described as a spot on the Albert Cuypmarkt. A post from October 4, 2024, confirms that the business was operational at that time. No exact opening date has been publicly recorded.

The company names José Cruz as its founder. He was born and raised in Portugal before settling in Amsterdam. A profile from 2022 states that Cruz is from Lisbon. He arrived in the Netherlands in 2000 for temporary work in the flower cultivation industry and subsequently remained in the country.

In 2016, Cruz introduced the NATA Lisboa franchise to Amsterdam. He operated this concept until 2020. According to public profiles, Mister Nata emerged around 2020 or 2021. His role at the company is listed on LinkedIn starting from April 2020.

The concept revolves around pastel de nata and other elements of Portuguese food culture. The company itself uses the term “Sun of Lisbon” to describe this approach. This links Portuguese recipes and products to retail outlets in the Netherlands and the Benelux region. No separate concept has been described for the Albert Cuyp location.

In addition to coffee, Mister Nata sells the original pastel de nata and various variants. The public offering includes, among others, apple-cinnamon, blueberry, chocolate, raspberry, and a vegan version. Availability may vary by location and time. No current daily assortment has been published for Albert Cuyp.

According to public information, Mister Nata works with Single Estate Coffee Roasters for its coffee. An Amsterdam coffee guide names this roaster as a supplier. The same guide mentions a La Marzocco espresso machine at Mister Nata. This documents espresso as a preparation method, although that description refers to the branch on Van Woustraat.

A menu image on Instagram from April 3, 2026, lists espresso, cappuccino, and latte macchiato. The post does not clarify whether this assortment is the same at every branch. No separate menu or fixed coffee beans have been published for the Albert Cuyp location.

Other brewing methods have not been publicly confirmed. There is no documentation regarding pour-over, AeroPress, French press, siphon, or batch filter at Albert Cuypstraat. The origin of individual coffee lots at the farm level has also not been disclosed.

Little information is available regarding activities around the Albert Cuyp location. The consulted public sources do not list any workshops, tastings, or exhibitions at this address. Neither neighborhood projects nor fixed collaborations in De Pijp have been documented.

Mister Nata did organize a Coffee Rave on January 31, 2026, featuring DJs, coffee, and pastries. This event took place on Haarlemmerdijk and not at the Albert Cuypmarkt. It was therefore a brand event at a different Amsterdam branch, not an activity of Albert Cuyp.

The business lists corporate relationships with, among others, Sophie Eats and Café Duval. A partner page also features the names or logos of Blackbird Coffee and Vintage and Cloud. The list is not exhaustive and does not distinguish between locations. Therefore, no local network around Albert Cuyp can be inferred from it.

Mister Nata claims that the custard tart uses an organic recipe free of E-numbers, preservatives, or additives. No certifying body or further inspection data is cited in support of this claim. The founder also states that products or ingredients are sourced directly from Portugal. Specific producers are not mentioned.

Little has been publicly disclosed regarding other sustainability aspects. Information on reusable cups, waste reduction, energy consumption, transport, emissions, and coffee certifications is absent. No environmental data for the outlet on Albert Cuypstraat has been published either.

Mister Nata has received attention in Dutch guides and profiles covering Portuguese products, coffee, and pastries. A 2022 profile described the career of José Cruz. Other publications primarily mentioned the location on Van Woustraat.

The website displays a Restaurant Guru badge with “Recommended 2024”, but does not explain the selection method. It is also not indicated whether this mention applies specifically to Albert Cuyp. Independently assessed awards for Mister Nata Albert Cuyp are not publicly documented.
