Since the beginning of our coffee subscription adventure we’ve been dreaming of supplying local stores and businesses with our exquisite selection of beautiful coffees. Naturally it takes time to establish your business and get to a point where you’re comfortable with adding extra services but when Nir Kohn of Sugar & Spice bakery reached out to us a few months ago to explore a collaboration we felt that the time was right to take the next step.

Nir who runs the red light district’s loveliest café and bakery has been a big fan of The Coffeevine for many years and always had the ambition to serve only the best products he can either make by hand or source from other producers he can trust. Nir learned his trade in the food industry from working at an Italian catering company and a few other businesses before feeling confident enough to open his own place. When a friend told him that the city council was gentrifying the slightly sleazy and run down red light district, Nir saw an opportunity to bring his delicious comfort food to a part of town that locals largely avoided. These days however the whole area around Zeedijk and Nieuwmarkt is experiencing a bit of a come back and more and more young entrepreneurs like Nir are setting up shop here.

When Nir came to us, initially looking for some advice on how to adapt his coffee concept to be more in line with the fast growing specialty coffee scene in Amsterdam, we immediately noticed a buring desire in his eyes to ditch his Italian roasted beans and move towards a more refined coffee offering that also includes filter coffee. We gave Nir some training on how to use his newly acquired Aeropress and V60 and gave him our October ’14 “Africa” tasting box to get things rolling. A few weeks in and Sugar & Spice is becoming Zeedijk’s only hotspot for great coffee and of course delicious homemade food. Whether you try his quiches, bread salad or cakes, Nir’s cooking never disappoints. “My grandmother was Hungarian and she was an amazing cook and baker. I’m glad she taught me a few tips and tricks,” he said with a big smile.

For us, working with a cozy and lovingly run café like Sugar & Spice is a big step in the right direction and we’re thrilled to have Nir on board as our first partner. We can only warmly recommend anyone to pop in to say hi, have some lunch and a cup of our delicious coffees. It’s definitey worth it!
