Coffeeshop de Supermarkt: your first visit
de Supermarkt opened in 2000 on the Frederik Hendrikstraat, just west of the Jordaan. Its name comes from its first years, when it sat between two small local supermarkets. Most of the people inside are from the neighbourhood.

What is different about de Supermarkt?
It is the only one of the five shops with a terrace: 20 seats indoors and 4 outside.
The furniture is made from the 'devil's tree', an invasive East African species brought over through a social programme that supports orphans.
Work by local artists rotates on the walls.
Like Siberië it is a sit-in shop, so buying a drink is required and the maximum stay is 2.5 hours.
The first ten minutes

- Order at the counter, including a drink.
- Choose inside or the terrace. The terrace has four seats, so on a dry day ask first.
