Black Gold Amsterdam in Nieuwmarkt/Lastage

The music is the best! The interior is nice, the staff is friendly, and the coffee is really good!

Tasty batch brew filter coffee with a super cool atmosphere from their funky live vinyl mix and interesting books

This is a great café. Atmosphere is simply unique and the combination of good music and fantastic coffee is something that you want in your life. On top of that personnel is friendly and helpful, I felt like home, even had the opportunity to experience live music session, amazing! ❤️

Good coffee, good music and delicious canelé! Highly recommend

The iced espresso was superb. The vibes of the coffee shop are immaculate. Also tried the pour over and it was flavorful.

Very nice place for real coffee lovers!

Great little coffee gem in the city center + very cool vinyls. Mostly hip-hop, rap, jazz and reggae (good selection)

Fantastic pour over. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Great music, incredibly talented barista and massive selection of single origins. One of its kind.

Great place ! Very good coffee and good music ! If you have luck the owner will play some vynls also !

Sooooo good coffee, the taste is truly outstanding. The atmosphere is different from other coffee shops. Totally relaxed and cozy. The music is still played on cassette tapes from absolute classics like Eminem and the like. It's super cool, and I would go back again 🫶🏼

Not only is their cappuccino the best cup of coffee I’ve ever tasted, the owner and all his staff have built a community around the things they love, Coffee and Music. Definitely my go to Café! You have a wide variety of records to listen to, a chess board to use at your will and a good chat with whomever is working that day. Highly recommend, if I could give 10 stars I would!

This is my go-to café. The coffee is always amazing, and the people working there are genuinely kind. They always make you feel welcome and are happy to chat. There’s a great atmosphere too — you can play chess, listen to vinyls, or just take a moment for yourself. It’s one of those spots you keep coming back to as going once is just not enough!!!

Absolutely loved my latte - the coffee was so smooth and aromatic. I can see why it was highly recommended by several coffee websites and bloggers. I wish we had this great quality tasting coffee back home. The coffee shop vibe is also so unique and trendy with the music and huge collection of vinyl records.

Cute little hiddem gem. Nice coffee and good atmosphere full of friendly people! Got to dig a bit and picked out a great vinyl as well! Check it out!

Sunday 9:00 and they're still not working. Too bad...

Not bad for coffee but can be better. Love the vibe with loads of vinyl around.

very nice coffee and friendly staff!

I wanted to drink delicious coffee in a quiet atmosphere It was perfect for an alley 👍 The atmosphere was good, the music was good, the staff was friendly, and I was alone but it was so good I was so intoxicated by the atmosphere that I stayed for 2 hours~ Highly recommended

Unrivalled atmosphere if you love Jazz - something really special.

One of the best speciality coffee that we tasted in Amsterdam!

Coffee 5/5 Service 5/5 Good coffee, nice music, always nice to be able and let your mind flutter to other things than coffee when drinking coffee. No pretentiousness and good product.

Possible the coolest cafe in Amsterdam. Great vibes awesome staff. Not a place to work, but a place to chill with friends or read a book.

Shtos Coffee, Hip-Hop Vibe Classy hosting

Bad service and bad coffee. The place is very messy and dirty.

I visit friends in Amsterdam regularly and not having a coffee at the Black Gold is a non-negotiable! The vibe is incredible, great hip hop music, friendly customer service and an amazing place to have that "how you been?" chat

Hi, cI came during the working hours 13:30 and the place was closed, waited with other customers for 15-20 mins with no luck. Please make sure to update your timings or leave a sign of when you’re returning.

This place is amazing! Great coffee.

Definitely one of the coolest cafes in Amsterdam. Serving coffee and having a live DJ playing records it was definitely a highlight of the trip.

stylish place with a cool selection of coffee and other albums, many rare albums on vinyl and SD.

Great vibes, even greater coffee.

Very cool coffee shop, but my flat white tasted quite bad and the barista was rude to someone who came in the store after me.

“Top rated” cafe offering me coffee in cups that are visually dirty and yellow from previous customers. The employee telling me to bring the mugs inside before paying? Which century are we mate? Toilets also dirty and stinky. So much potential, yet the devil is in the details and you definitely failed at that.

The house cold brew is exquisite

Nice cafe + vinyl & cd shop Both the coffee and the dessert were good!

We went 2 times. Incredible specialty coffee, one of the best we have ever tried. Very delicious sweets. Very good attention. The cafeteria is full of vinyl and music CDs and you can play whatever music you want. Very good atmosphere.

Very cool place. There was live jazz when we visited.

Good beans, bad recipe and extraction. It was quite burned.

For the love of coffee and music. I couldn't agree more. Also they didn't have a mix tape of the Backstreet Boys, which was ok? Go here. Also drink that Cascara Cabinet drink, It's really nice.

For the love of coffee and music. This would be the perfect place. Coffee made with time and love all while listening to curate music spun on vinyl in an urban chic environment. Must visit and worth the trip.

A delicious cappuccino with a cookie rounds off this great ambience. Urban music and friendly people make it a great place.

immaculate vibes - wide collection of vinyls, beautifully decorated interior, good coffee & tea. loved playing chess in the small corner of the cafe with the sun shining in 🌅🌅 barista with the safety pin earrings had just the best choice of music, ‘smooth & ethereal’ says the boyfriend. a must-go in ams :)

Real chill place playing nice music, they have lots of options for customizing your coffee, you just have to be direct! :-)

Awesome Batista, nice artisan coffee and nice vibes. Vinyls everywhere huge coffee bean selection and very nice Coffees!

Super cool place! Coffee was delish! And the owner made some recommendations for music and I listened to the dopest music ever! This place has hidden gems like crazy. Will always come back!

Perfect vibes. Great service, great coffee

The coffee was, by all measurable standards, excellent—rich, complex, and seemingly imbued with the sort of cosmic significance one only finds in particularly good espressos or ancient philosophical riddles. The barista, a person who had clearly made a Faustian pact with both caffeine and vinyl, curated the music with the same precision as the coffee itself, ensuring that every sip was accompanied by exactly the right soundtrack for an existentially satisfying caffeine experience. The establishment, small and endearingly cluttered with records and bicycles, radiated warmth, though its seating arrangements suggested a deep and possibly personal grudge against the concept of human spinal comfort. The chairs, if one could call them that, seemed to be constructed from reclaimed shipwrecks or the broken dreams of ergonomics professors. But such trivial concerns faded away under the influence of a properly brewed cup and a well-chosen record, leaving only the gentle realization that, in this moment, all was as it should be.

Freshly ground coffee beans, great coffee. Nice music.

Cool vibes and atmosphere, great coffee and service 👌

A beautiful cafe with a very good atmosphere. The music plays with vinyl... what more could you ask for?? ❤️

very nice place and atmosphere.

Super nice place, great baristas and vinyl records selection that you can listen to and buy. Coffee is really good and they have some pastries. I would make it my coffee place if I lived here :)

Nice coffee shop, friendly service and delicious coffee

Un pequeño lugar increíble. Servicio amable y buen café. Bonitos discos también. Ambiente frío. Precio razonable para la zona.

Amazing coffee, friendly staff and the atmosphere is really nice

Very cool record & coffee shop.

Great hidden place, small but cozy atmosphere. The coffe was great. My friend got herself a vinyl and told me there are so many little treasures of music. The staff was friendly. The only weird thing was, that the employee took a picture from my friend and the vinyl she bought. She told her it's for the owner. My friend didn't mind it so it was okay, I was just asking myself why they needed that...

I wish I could give this cafe more than five stars! Top notch coffee, super hip, comfy and welcoming vibes, great music including an interesting array of records for sale, and the barista was really cool. A nice down-to-earth gem amidst the touristy stuff around.

Coincidentally came across this place while passing by. The owner was friendly and very open/accessible for a nice chat. The coffee was tasty, there was also plant-based milk. The prices were very okay. You can sit there against the window with a view of the plates!

very cosy place, awesome selection of vinyls, tapes & artworks, friendly staff, nice vibes! 👍👍👍

Really lovely spot. Nice coffee, had a V60, the girl serving us was super friendly, helpful and smashed it even when she was alone and very busy.

Great specialty coffee and nice service.

top business. friendly owner and lots of black gold 👌👌

Discovered unexpectedly during a stroll in the neighborhood, it is the perfect combination of relaxation and indulgence. Hojicha Tea takes you on a journey, Rodriguez coffee comforts… What more could we ask for if not the unparalleled kindness of our host? Without forgetting this music and the decoration that goes with it, a real landmark for music lovers looking for discovery!! Thank you for this impromptu moment, see you next time in Amsterdam!

Great coffee and great tunes. You can choose your own brewing method and beans here and while I haven't tried all of them I can highly recommend the V60 with the Guatemala beans. Beware of the espresso drink here. They're super tasty but super strong ☕

Chill vibe with smokin coffee. Great variety for coffee off the norm (if you wish)

Excellent specialty coffee with care taken in its brewing. Relaxed vibe and premium vinyl.

I had a very tasty but powerful espresso while I delved into their vinyl, a good stop. I wanted to take the only album that was not for sale.

This coffee is amazing!! 🤩 10/10 recommend for a great cup of coffee.

Visited on a recommendation, and when I came back to Amsterdam a few weeks later it was the first place I went to. The coffee is absolutely fantastic, the atmosphere is great and the staff are excellent.

Very good chai latte! Quite cozy place

Good coffee and very nice service the place has a really cool atmosphere

Nice team and coffee but too expensive

Best local coffee place in Amsterdam with beans from several local roasters and excellent vinyl tunes. Even though it is in the city center, it has a real neighborhood function.

A wonderful spot, amazing specialty coffee, very relaxed atmosphere, eclectic music over a lovely sound system, one of my favourite coffee experiences, thank you

The only reason I gave this place 5 stars is because I couldn’t give 10. This place is now in my top 5 coffee shops that I’ve been to in the world. Chill out with a coffee and browse through some records then grab a bag of coffee for home.

Really cool and cozy cafe with great coffee and tunes!

Great cappuccino and a great space.

Cracking record shop run by good people

Black Gold Amsterdam is a hidden gem for coffee lovers! The coffee here is exceptional—rich, flavorful, and clearly brewed with care. They also have a great selection of vinyl records that adds a unique and nostalgic touch to the atmosphere. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax or catch up with friends. The staff are friendly and passionate about what they do, which makes the experience even better. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy top-notch coffee and chill in a cozy, artistic setting, Black Gold is the place to be. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in Amsterdam!

Cool music , amazing coffee , good vibe

Fantastic coffee and peaceful ambient. Great spot to escape crowds in centre and enjoy cup of coffee

Great specialty coffee, very good atmosphere

Photos hardly match, it is busy full of stuff (junk) Do not sit comfortably on hard wooden blocks. And the most important: coffee not good!!!! Man oh man, does it even contain coffee? 6 grams or something? Tastes like espresso instant coffee with steamed milk And the employee was very customer friendly, a bit grumpy and mumbling

I had a Pina colada V60. I could get the sweetness and the pineapple like flavors. I like that the atmosphere is completely different to the usually aesthetic specialty coffee shop style. I got a free espresso and had a nice chat with the barista.

Out of the five speciality coffee places I tried this is the best one. Actually does pourover V60 and has a selection of beans.

The place to be in this part of the city for a good cup of coffee. Elite-proof oat milk, beans from White Label, baristas who can make coffee and a Massala Chai without flavor enhancers. Oh yes, and records ;)

I have been here with my partner today and this has been the worst experience I've had as a customer in The Netherlands by far. From entering the shop we were treated in a very snobbish way by the barista. The place was not busy, we were the only ones ordering, and asked for two cortados, one with regular milk and one with oat milk. The barista then put both cups in front of us, made zero eye contact and indicated which one had the oat milk in a very vague, blasé gesture. Neither me or my partner understood clearly which cup was which, so she asked for confirmation. Instead of being a decent human being and explaining again, the barista just stood there, looking bored and annoyed at my partner while she tried to guess and ask, and after a few tries of hers (to which he didn't offer a clear reply), just said in the most disgusting, infuriating way possible: "the oat is the one I pointed at at first", before turning away. Frankly, if you think the job of explaining to your customers which cup is safe for them to drink is below you, you should most definitely consider a career change. The coffee was decent (not even close in quality to other coffees we've had in Amsterdam), but the experience was bitter and the taste of the coffee is not what we'll remember from the visit.

The guy who sell in store is unfriendly and not respectful, racist.

Fue una mala experiencia cuando visité este lugar el hombre cómo la venta no es amigable y no respetuosamente 👎🏻 también colocó si no es cómodo.

Love this cool place and a big choice of special vinyls, strong good coffee ..

Great coffee. Busy. We didn't try the food but the homemade bread looked great.

I used to like coming here for a coffee but after visiting on a Sunday morning and experiencing weird customer service from the POC and guy with pink hair I’d rather not return, mostly interested in which song they were gonna play They seem to think this place is a rave venue to play their loud cheesy music instead of reading the room which was people of a certain age and a chill Sunday vibe. Not even monitoring people walking through the door and serving customers that had just walked in opposed to those waiting a long time for a mediocre coffee to which the milk was steamed with the same adequacy as an Albert Heijn coffee machine disappointing and wouldn’t recommend

Very cool cafe. Laid back atmosphere with an impressive range of vinyl (records)

The establishment has an incredible atmosphere, a mix between a vinyl store and a cafe. The coffee served is of high quality. The barista (who I think is the owner) is welcoming and available to explain the different types of coffee. A place to visit!

Prana tea - very good. Fun music and general vibe.

Fantastic coffee place with an amazing vibe and coffee :)

Best coffee, best sounds, best people in Amsterdam. Some comfier seats would be nice but a small piece of feedback

A really nice cafe with great music, amazing coffee and nice stuff :)

They don’t do decaf because they believe “it doesn’t taste good”. Their cannelés aren’t crispy on the outside :( But kind barista and they dj inside
