Located on Beursplein, the flagship location perfectly captures the essence of this concept. It’s not a traditional barbershop, but a place where the scent of shaving soap mingles with the aromas from the kitchen. The shop attracts a clientele that values a sharp haircut and, at the same time, wants to enjoy a leisurely meal. The music here is always at just the right volume, with a carefully curated playlist that fills the speakers with hip-hop, R&B, funk, and soul. It’s precisely that atmosphere that keeps people lingering, even long after the clippers have been put back on the charger.
The barbers, including Jonathan, Sarah, Jeffrey, Darwin, Taylor, and Zoee, work every day to create the sharpest haircuts in town. Their craftsmanship is at the heart of the business, but the service behind the bar and on the floor is just as important to the overall experience. People like Chloe, Bailey, Lewis, and Ben make sure the glasses don’t stay empty during the long brunch sessions. They know the menu and the customers, creating a casual vibe you won’t easily find anywhere else in the bustling downtown area.
The wine list here is as serious as the cuisine. And that's exactly the point.
The interior design reflects the blend of a professional barbershop and a restaurant. Sturdy chairs invite you to enjoy a leisurely treatment, while in the background you can see the hustle and bustle of the bar. The building on Beursplein has a raw, urban vibe that perfectly complements the music and the soul food concept. It’s not a place for a quick bite, but for a longer stay where time seems to stand still for a moment. The space is laid out so that haircuts and dining complement each other rather than getting in each other’s way.
The food is hearty and can best be described as Caribbean soul food. For example, you can order Chicken and Waffles or a serving of Jerk Chicken dripping with spices. At brunch, you can choose unlimited drinks, with Bloody Marys and rum punch being the most popular choices alongside a variety of craft beers. The wine list here is just as serious as the cuisine—and that’s exactly the point. For those who prefer not to drink alcohol, there are also non-alcoholic cocktails on the menu.
The downtown location is a hub. It’s a place where people gather for the weekend, especially with the extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays. Even though there are also locations in De Pijp and West, the spot on Beursplein feels like the flagship of them all. It’s a little corner where you can still take a moment just for yourself.
