Black Gold Amsterdam in Nieuwmarkt/Lastage

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

If I could give more stars, I definitely would. Just a few meters away from the tourist traps, this gem stands out as one of the best places to enjoy a cup of coffee. It’s the kind of spot that makes you ponder taking your old record player down from the attic just to pick up a vinyl jewel here and celebrate the sound of creativity. This store not only serves great coffee but also offers an eclectic selection of records, all curated by an enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff. A perfect blend of coffee and music lovers’ paradise!

Fun place, quality coffee, interesting interior design with vinila player, very fun looking barista.

My sister and I loved this place while staying in Amsterdam. High quality espresso and a nice ambiance inside. Highly recommend for the avid espresso drinker!!

Very good specialty coffee. Great atmosphere and very nice staff.

Cool and relaxed place, where the only things that are taken seriously are the quality of the coffee and the music. Honestly, the BEST cappuccino I've ever had.

Bizarre and frustrating customer experience. It wasn’t clear how or where I ordered. After asking for a cold brew I was told to retrieve it myself from the fridge. I was told to pay when I left, as if I was maintaining a bar tab. Maybe this is the American in me speaking, but I like to do work on my laptop in coffee shops. I was told to put my laptop away despite the total lack of signs forbidding laptops. I wouldn’t have purchased coffee here if I knew that was the policy. The coffee itself was fine. Amsterdam suffers from a lack of cold brew so points for that.

Delicious coffee! We didn't taste the food, we just tasted the coffee!!

Super atmosphere! Good music, vinyls, coffee and books ☕️

I drank a delicious espresso in this nice coffee bar in Amsterdam born owner and local residents who visit here as friends.

Hisper cafe with nice selection of vinyls. Barists are trying their best but the coffee is still not as good as I would expected it to be☕️ but if you are looking more for cool atmosphere than speciality coffee - go for it!😀

Great coffee, great music taste

Good coffee, I've been coming here for about 4 years, not the best in Amsterdam but just good. It's just a pity that the owner is sometimes blunt and very unkind. Reason for me to look elsewhere. There is much more good coffee and that is even possible with nice people in Amsterdam. Tips: Toki, the Koffieschenkerij or Lot61 in Double Tree by Hilton.

Chill vibes, good coffee, nice collection of vinyls and miscellaneous to browse through.

Best cafe in town Lovely vibe and damn cool barista 🫡

I went there yesterday and it was such nice Cafe with a very cool vibe, with vinyls and books. The barista, whose name I didn't ask, was super nice and friendly and she would answer and talk about all sorts of things related to coffee with you.

Discovered a few years ago and since then a must during my stays in Amsterdam. Cozy atmosphere and the manager/barista is super friendly/welcoming. You can enjoy a very good coffee there and at the same time hunt for vinyl records. Quality selection for Hip-hop and Soul/Jazz fans with labels like Stones Throw or Mellow Music. In short, a good place to stop for a coffee

I had a cup of filter coffee. It was tasty.

A small, friendly café with exceptional coffee, this place stands out for its unique selection of music vinyls, including vintage ones. The combination of great coffee and a nostalgic atmosphere makes for a truly delightful experience.

Great speciality coffee, great music :)

The coffee is ok, but milk was overheated so could not really get any taste other than milk

Information on both website and google maps is wrong. Closed on sunday.

I had an excellent coffee experience and a different atmosphere on a quiet street in Amsterdam. Coffee was excellent. Handmade snacks also looked great. I advise

I went there for V60 filter coffee after I saw the LP’s from outside, but the barista told us it’s not available anymore. So we ordered americano instead. Then the barista said V60 was available as an option and he thought we were asking for the batch brew. Didn’t offer to change them. We drank the americanos. He was mostly on his phone and didn’t care about the customers anyway. It was also dirty inside, and used coffee mugs uncleaned were lying everywhere. Lastly, even though there are nice LP’s in the shop, music was unnecessaryly loud and not for the ambiance (mostly electronic). Wouldn’t suggest

A true gem! Time seems to stand still in Café Black Gold. I loved the mint ginger tea and the delicious coconut water, both made from fresh ingredients. The creative use of the term 'Black Gold' for records and coffee is simply brilliant and very personable. I highly recommend this cafe, especially for a relaxing time in Amsterdam. See you next time!

We ordered two coffees here, one latte and one cortado. The latte was nice, and was great without sugar. The cortado however was awful, and we didn’t drink all of it. The barista was relatively friendly but nothing to write home about, and he played some nice ambient jazz music. You can also purchase some coffee gear and lots of vinyl records, as well as some merch that they have behind the counter. Overall a nice place to grab a quick coffee (latte), but I wouldn’t necessarily add it to my list of places to visit in Amsterdam.

Great coffee and always a friendly welcoming face each visit. Lots of cool old school records and material plus magazines to read. An excellent spot to have a coffee on a cold, wet day ☕

Great vibe, really cool place. The coffee was good but not the best. Will still visit when I’m in the neighbourhood.

Far from the madding crowd. Something a bit different in Amsterdam, a coffee shop that doesn't have, WiFi or allow the smoking of Mary Jane. Just a coffeeshop that serves excellent coffee with cool music in the background.

I used to be a frequenter in here. But once the owner made an offensive remarks calling my tics a pushy behavior. Instead of ignoring the tics as usually the polite people do this guy begin to attack me in an agressieve way. Very unfriendly, very ignorant and impolite

It's such a cool chilled out coffee shop, and it's definitely a cafe that I will be returning when to Amsterdam. The cafe works serve you some coffee (I had a Cappuccino, which was perfect. You can buy a cake, then sit on a sofa and enjoy the vibe while listening to hip hop, and what I must add, a very good selection of albums. You can spend all day just chilling. The music wasn't overpowering with the volume. It's just right. The location of the cafe isn't too far either. What five minutes walk from the centre of Amsterdam, which is also perfect if you want to get away from the hussle and bussle of Amsterdam. Again, please visit when in Amsterdam!!!

The Brazilian cafe we ordered was even worse than the McDonald cafe. The place is too dirty and so small that it is enough for maximum 10 people. You can praise music and not talk about it. I can't understand why people really gave so many good reviews.

Visited this cool coffee spot that’s also a vinyl shop. Loved the vibe and the unique combo of great coffee and a wide vinyl selection. Note: seating is limited.

Very cozy record store with a small, fine and niche range of nice hip-hop stuff; There are also selected publications; Excellent coffee/cappuccino, which you can enjoy while browsing through magazines in the back part of the shop with good music! Mega friendly owner :)

This spot is very unique. The guy running the shop is very sociable and funny. Definitely one of the best lattes I had in my stay. Great music and a great atmosphere.

Arrived at the place just as the door opened up. Monsieur Barista nailed it, from the music choice of “Like a ship” to the coffee pairing of “red honey” beans. On top of everything, I am grateful for his sharing of knowledge to demystify different ways of processing and beans. It’s a dream :)

Wonderful place to drink a chai latte! Recommended if you like good music.

Such a quite, cool place to chill out the city buzzing

Excellent coffee, atmosphere, service, and price-to-quality. Barista was super busy but was still nice, high quality, and quick. There was also live music as the place has a big focus on vinyl records if I recall correctly.

Come here often with my partner and love the atmosphere here. Amsterdam prices of course but the atmosphere makes up for it. Wish they had decaf but besides that amazing place

Great vibes, great tunes, great coffee, great owner. Black Gold is the place to find the best selection of old school hip-hop and jazz vinyl in Amsterdam. Thanks C! :)

Great vibes and excellent music selection! Good coffee too - recommend for a chill time.

Ask him to give you 20 grams of coffee, because standard ones have 13 to 15 grams of coffee.

Highlight of the trip. If you love coffee and /or hiphop this is worth traveling for. Guy who has it is an absolute minch. I'll never visit Amsterdam without going by here. Highest appraisal, love that place.

The perfect atmosphere with great people serving only the best coffee around...

Superb coffee, great service, super friendly. Highly recommend.

For the love of coffee and hiphop (& music in general)

I have been there only once during my trip unfortunately but I loved this place to pieces, the coffee was great, there was good music and the barista was pleasant. But above all I must say, this place has character. It is uncompromising on quality and style, and it is all I could hope for in an independent specialty coffee place

Cool neighbourhood cafe for chatting and listening to music. Not for studying. No place for laptop usage

Amazing place with a character! Great coffee.

Really good coffee... no food option, though.

Very cozy, nice coffee & great music!

Top quality coffee in a very beautiful yard... Loads of vinyls too...

The coffee and ambience that have been cultivated here made this my favourite moment in Amsterdam. Coffee is great. Delicious little treats too.

One of the best places to get coffee around the res light area, also has a huge selection of vinyls to purchae

The best in Amsterdam? I think so

Exceptional coffee here. I love that I get to choose the type of beans. We had an oat cappuccino and an oat flat white and both were perfectttt. Came back two days in a row.

Delicious coffee, friendly staff, calm atmosphere

아메리카노를 주문조용하고 편안한 분위기였고 만족스러운 경험이었음 원두는 상큼한 맛이 강했으나 고소한 느낌을 원하면 다른 종류를 시키는걸 권장 사장님이 친절하심

Really great coffee music place

Heerlijke koffie, heerlijke canneles! Lekker muziek erbij ook nog:)

Great coffee shop with a cool vibe!

Great coffee and vibe, usually spot on music selection, and nice baristas. Not a lot of places like this in this area.

Really cozy athmosphere,cool dj!

Coffee and dj performance. Cool duo!

Simply great coffee in a grungy atmosphere. Plus records.

Excellent coffee. Very good selection of beans from all over. Australian grade medium roasts.
