As soon as the sun shows itself, the terrace of ’t Blue Tea House fills up. And not without reason. The spacious, sun-drenched terrace offers one of the most beautiful places in Vondelpark to perch, whether you come for an early cappuccino, an extended lunch or afternoon drinks. The atmosphere is casual and typically Amsterdam: a mix of locals, walkers and friends who gather here to enjoy the moment.
What makes ’t Blauwe Theehuis extra special is its collaboration with Brewery ’t IJ. As the official summer tasting room, the pavilion pours a wide assortment of the well-known Amsterdam brewery. From fresh blond beers to characterful IPAs - here you can taste the complete palette, in the middle of greenery. This makes the terrace not only a place to relax, but also to discover new flavors.
“Fancy a game of petanque after your walk through Vondel Park? Or come play a game of table tennis with friends? At ’t Blauwe Theehuis you can play on two bocce courts and there is a real table tennis table. Perfect for a little competition, with a good glass with it, of course.”
When it comes to culinary matters, you're in the right place, too. The menu is accessible and varied, with freshly made sandwiches, tasty pizzas and a selection of snacks that go perfectly with a good glass of beer or a refreshing lemonade. Whether you want a quick bite to eat or an extensive dinner in the sun, ’t Blauwe Theehuis offers a suitable option for every moment of the day.
To maximize its role as a tasting room, the interior is currently being updated. With this renewal, the character of the monumental building will be enhanced and the experience will be even more in keeping with the relaxed, summer feeling that makes this place so unique. A development that fits seamlessly into the dynamics of the city, where tradition and renewal go hand in hand.
