Blue Sea

A small, quiet shop with an aquarium, plant wall, and full-wall murals.

Storefront of Coffeeshop Blue Sea on Van Woustraat 87

Inside the shop

A neighbourhood shop, built around one good idea.

Step off Van Woustraat and into a lounge built around a living wall of tropical plants and a glowing aquarium. Full-wall psychedelic murals, leather armchairs, warm wood tables. Small by design — big on atmosphere.

A small lounge, not a party spot.

Regulars are locals. Music leans on real reggae mixed with lounge classics. No TV, no rush. Open daily — visitors are very welcome as long as the vibe is respected.

Bright tropical cichlids in the Blue Sea aquarium Aquarium

Tropical aquarium at the heart of the shop.

The aquarium is looked after daily. Cichlids and friends. It is the centrepiece of the lounge, framed by a living wall of plants and floor-to-ceiling murals.

Plant wallDaily careThe Blue Sea
Full-wall psychedelic mural with characters and the B·SEA letters Murals

Floor-to-ceiling murals.

An airbrush artist painted every wall in the lounge — bubbles, dreamscapes, the Amsterdam skyline. The letters "B·SEA" are worked into the artwork. Look closely, you'll find something new every visit.
