Blue SeaCoffeeshop


A neighbourhood coffeeshop in the heart of De Pijp — aquarium, living plant wall, quiet lounge, and a real local vibe.

Est. 2019 4.3★ · 282 reviews Aquarium & living plant wall

A small, quiet shop — built around one good idea


Step off Van Woustraat and into an intimate lounge where a living wall of tropical plants cascades over a glowing aquarium. Full-wall murals, leather armchairs, warm wood, and no TV. Good coffee, real reggae in the mix, and a welcoming crew that knows its regulars.

01

The Space

A living plant wall, a tropical aquarium, floor-to-ceiling psychedelic murals, leather armchairs and rustic wood tables. Small by design — big on atmosphere.

Our story

02

Coffee & Good Music

Coffee, tea, water — the simple stuff, done well. A soundtrack that leans on real reggae mixed with lounge classics. Never rap, never aggressive. Come, sit, stay a while.

Van Woustraat 87 sits on the eastern edge of the Nieuwe Pijp — close enough to the market to walk, far enough to stay quiet. Tram 4 drops you two minutes away at Stadhouderskade. Locals come by bike; visitors find us on foot.
