Third Wave
Respect
Treating coffee not as a product to rush through, but as a craft. We trace our beans back to their origin, and honour the farmers, the soil and the careful roasting process.
THIRD. Modern Bakery & Coffee in Amsterdam Zuid
Sourdough and viennoiserie, freshly baked every morning, alongside specialty coffee roasted in-house. From the first espresso to the last slice of cake.
Not home, not work. Something in between.

Why THIRD.
In a world that moves fast, everyone needs a place to slow down.
A place that is not home, and not work, but something in between.
THIRD. carries two meanings, both essential to who we are: the Third Wave of coffee and the Third Place in society.

The Third Wave
Coffee as a craft.
The Third Wave is about respect. About treating coffee not as a product to rush through, but as a craft.
- ORIGIN
- We trace our beans back to their origin.
From origin to cup.
Two meanings
THIRD. means two things at once.
One is about the product and the craft behind it. The other about the place where it is enjoyed.

Third Place
Connection
Between home and work, you need a refuge. A place where you can linger, where the barista knows your order and where time slows down for a moment.

The bakery
72 hours. 72 hours. No rush.
Our bakers start their day long before sunrise, with dough that has slowly fermented for 72 hours on natural leaven.
The rhythm of the night
While the city sleeps, the dough rises.
-
22:00
The dough is laid down
Flour, water, salt and our own sourdough starter. Nothing more.
-
02:30
Folding in the dark
Every two hours the dough is aired by hand. Nobody is watching, but the dough can tell.
-
05:00
The stone oven heats up
Steam in the first minutes. After that, only patience.
-
AM
The door opens
Bread that still crackles on the counter, and the first espresso of the day.
You can fire up an oven, but you cannot speed up time.
Not a single step skipped.
Seasonal produce from local growers. If you start with exceptional ingredients and treat them with respect, the result speaks for itself.

The space
A converted warehouse.
Amsterdam Zuid. We didn't want to hide its history behind layers of plasterboard and paint.
When we found this converted warehouse in Amsterdam Zuid, we knew immediately: this is it.
We let the architecture speak.
A space that feels expansive and intimate at the same time.
- Raw concrete
- Walls that don't hide their history.
- Warm oak
- Long tables to work at together.
- Tall windows
- Industrial, from floor to ceiling.
- Morning light
- Flowing across the craft coffee bar.
Whether you are looking for a quiet corner to read, a long table to work together, or a stool at the bar to catch up with our roasters: the space adapts to what you need.

It takes patience, precision and an unwavering commitment to quality.
