Back to Black

Back to Black is a specialty coffee roastery and bakery in Amsterdam, Netherlands, running two coffee bars—one in the center, one in the west—plus their own roastery. They roast their own single-origin beans like Colombia Excelso, Kenya Gichathaini, and Ethiopia Queen Of Sheba, alongside a sugarcane decaf from Peru. Their blog digs into the nerdy stuff: water chemistry, respectful coffee farming, and competing at the Dutch Barista Championship. They offer a coffee subscription starting at €9,75/month, plus gift subscriptions. With a bakery attached and a clear obsession with quality from farm to cup, they're the kind of Amsterdam spot where you'd happily linger over a filter and leave with a bag for tomorrow morning.
