Monks
Monks Coffee Roasters was founded in August 2016 by Patrick Abbott, an Irishman who spent twenty five years in Australia before bringing his deep coffee passion to Amsterdam's Oud West neighborhood. The search for the perfect space took Patrick more than eighteen months, a testament to his vision and commitment to finding the right environment for his roastery. Since opening, Monks has become a local institution known for its welcoming atmosphere and consistently excellent brews. The roastery stands out through its sustainability practices, including eliminating single use plastics and delivering products via electric bicycle.
