Boerejongens
cloudedAmsterdam brand guide
A service-led Amsterdam coffeeshop brand founded in 2007, known for polished interiors, highly trained staff and a more refined approach to the coffeeshop experience.
Brand story
Boerejongens began on Baarsjesweg in Amsterdam West in 2007 and built its identity around doing the familiar coffeeshop experience with considerably more polish. The brand is known for formal, knowledgeable service, Amsterdam School-inspired interiors and the marble-and-brass presentation that gives its shops a distinctly different feel from the city's rougher old-school rooms.
In Amsterdam, the family is now centred on two locations. Boerejongens West is the original: a neighbourhood shop on Baarsjesweg and the starting point of the brand. Boerejongens Centre brings the same service-led approach to Utrechtsestraat, close to Rembrandtplein and the Amstel, with a more central-city setting.
A third Boerejongens location now operates in Almere. Across the group, the common thread is less about turning every shop into the same format and more about product knowledge, structured service and a deliberately refined retail experience. For Clouded, West is the historic anchor, while Centre is the easiest expression of that identity to fold into a day around central Amsterdam.

Which location?
Boerejongens West is more about the buying experience than settling in for a long session. The appeal is the polished, service-led approach: clear, organised and aimed at people who care about the product and the interaction around it rather than needing a big lounge to hang around in.
Boerejongens Centre goes for a more polished, organised feel than the rougher old-school coffeeshops you’ll find elsewhere in the centre. The Amsterdam School-style interior and service-led setup make the whole thing feel more considered, which is a big part of the appeal.
