Located in the heart of Amsterdam’s iconic Nine Streets and now also on Spuistraat, Chun Café offers a delightful escape with its perfect blend of high-quality matcha and deliciously light toasts. What began as a small café in 2020 has quickly grown into a beloved local hotspot with two locations. With its inviting atmosphere and commitment to both quality and aesthetics, Chun Café has become a favorite destination for anyone seeking comfort and flavor in every bite and sip.
The story behind Chun Café
Chun Café began in 2020 as a modest space on Berenstraat in Amsterdam’s Negen Straatjes, serving high-quality matcha and milk tea . At a time when the world was still recovering from the effects of COVID-19, Chun Café became a refuge for locals, a place to reconnect and unwind. This success led to collaborations with top brands such as Uniqlo, Filling Pieces, and Ace & Tate. Because the café quickly outgrew its original location, it moved two doors down to a larger, livelier space, where it evolved into the bustling, modern café it is today. With a focus on fast-casual dining, the café serves delicious toasts, premium matcha, and coffee. And all of this in a sleek, contemporary setting!
Toasts that steal the show
Although matcha is at the heart of Chun Café, the menu also features the famous Korean fluffy toasts, which have become a must-try. These toasts are soft, savory, and perfectly crispy on the outside. They’re a delicious treat for any time of day. Some standout options include the vegan tofu puff toast and the avocado-egg-cheese toast. Both are bursting with amazing flavor and texture. Whether you’re looking for a plant-based option or something deliciously creamy, you’re sure to love these toasts. Pair them with an ice-cold matcha banana cloud for the ultimate experience!
Matcha Magic from Uji to Amsterdam
What makes Chun Café so special is their deep-rooted passion for matcha. Chun Café sources their matcha directly from small family farms in Uji, Kyoto, offering premium, hand-picked matcha that is both vibrant and rich in flavor. The team’s dedication to quality shines through with every sip. Moreover, visitors often rave about the deep, earthy flavor of their matcha lattes. Chun Café has personally visited the tea plantations, bringing the true essence of matcha from Japan to Amsterdam. This makes it absolutely one of the most authentic matcha spots in the city .
