About the author

Born and raised in Amsterdam, lives to dance and dances to live on electronic music, has a small vinyl addiction, appreciates a little sarcasm now and then, thinks musicals are annoying and loves those moments where you lose track of time completely.

It’s five o’clock in the afternoon and you’re cycling through our gorgeous city. Other cyclists are probably coming home from work. You on the other hand have been going hard all night and day at a big ass rave party somewhere in the outer suburbs, probably in an empty industrial building or underneath a bridge. At this moment you’re desperately craving for some nice breakfast. However all the cafés you come across are serving lunch or have even started serving dinner at this time. Everyone must recognize this horrible situation. Luckily we have 331 West, serving breakfast until 18:00!

Coffee bar, gallery and store

No worries though, 331 West doesn’t attract people (that look like they are) on crack. The vibe is always lovely. And it is so much more than just a café that offers breakfast for only €8 on Saturdays at unusual times. A group of true Amsterdammers with s strong love for art, coffee, and great paraphernalia, wanted to create their own place to meet up. A place where different and diverse artists could inspire you through constantly changing expositions, where you can buy a present for your mom, and where you can drink good coffee. This became reality in October last year, when 331 West opened its doors. without further ado, I will let the photos speak for themselves.
