Inside the shop

A neighbourhood shop, recently rebuilt.

Step off Jan Pieter Heijestraat and into a small but premium-finished lounge — dark marble counter, soft brown leather, signature green LED accents, and a hand-painted character wall in the back. Cozy, modern, and intentionally local.

A local spot, not a tourist trap.

Regulars are people from the neighbourhood. The crew at the counter knows the regulars by name — and the international visitors who find it tend to write five-star reviews about the people behind the counter, not the menu. No flashy gimmicks. Just a place that locals keep coming back to.

A small lounge, recently renovated.

Dark marble counter. Soft brown leather seating. Signature green LED strips running along the ceiling and window frames. The whole shop was rebuilt in the last few years — premium materials, intentional choices, no shortcuts. Cozy, modern, and quiet enough to actually have a conversation.

The gentleman and the crew.

Two characters tell the story. The dignified elder gentleman in the flat cap — silhouetted on the front windows, watching the street go by. And the cartoon animal posse — dogs, cats, a lion — all in matching "96" streetwear, painted across the lounge wall. Elder wisdom and playful crew, side by side. That's the shop.
