Paradox Coffeeshop has been part of Amsterdam for decades. Located in the Jordaan and known as Coffeeshop #11, we’re one of the city’s original licensed coffeeshops, built on trust, consistency, and doing things properly.

Our spacecake is what we’re known for. The process has been gently refined over the years to ensure clarity and reliability, while staying true to its original character. Everything is prepared in advance, clearly labelled, and exactly what we say it is. And when needed, Aunty Mil can still bake a fresh batch herself.

Inside, Paradox is a calm place to slow down. Art on the walls, board games on the tables, good coffee and tea, and a relaxed mix of locals and visitors. Our crew is always happy to explain how things work and help you find what’s right for you.

Old-school, independent, and quietly confident — that’s Paradox.
