Café Jansen Bajeskwartier
from the streets of Amsterdam
to your table
At Café Jansen Bajeskwartier you can enjoy breakfast and lunch, or a perfectly brewed cappuccino in a warm, welcoming homey atmosphere fused with creativity and cultural flair. Also, a perfect spot to have a business lunch or team meeting! Located in Oost, just across from the former Bijlmerbajes prison, Café Jansen Bajeskwartier is a place where food, community and the arts come together like nowhere else in Amsterdam.
Dutch, daring & delicious!
Like Amsterdam itself, we welcome everyone. Young and old, rich and not-so-rich, with or without children, vegan or meat-eater, digital nomads or students. There’s a place for anyone who wants to enjoy an authentic Amsterdam breakfast or lunch, yet reimagined by Jansen’s globe-trotting chefs who call this city home. A true local living room, open and affordable for all, reflecting the spirit of our beloved city.
Our events & happenings
We host intimate performances with local musicians, artists, comedians, and singer-songwriters. From time to time, also guests and staff take the stage with poetry, music, dance, and other creative expressions. From Movie Nights to Open Mics, (celeb) jam sessions, karaoke, and family game afternoons. Our happenings add a creative layer to your food, making a visit more than just a meal!
