New Jozi opened in December 2025, ten minutes on foot from the Markthal, with one idea: “Rotterdam has so many great roasters. We wanted one place where you could try them all.” Its co-founders, Lionel and Dave, came from corporate careers; Lionel runs the coffee and Dave the kitchen.

The shelf holds around 33 coffees at a time from Manhattan, which roasts the house espresso, Schot, Mellow, Shokunin and Grounded, and Ripsnorter is also on its list of roasters. Any bag on the shelf can be ordered at the bar as espresso, V60 or batch brew. Schot roasts New Jozi Suni, a Brazilian house blend for everyday drinking, and Viola is a second house blend, only sold at New Jozi. The lineup keeps rotating, from Manhattan’s Rainbow, an anaerobic washed Pink Bourbon from El Vergel Estate in Tolima, to Schot’s Doi Pangkhon from an Akha hill-tribe cooperative in Chiang Rai and Mellow’s Ruera Estate from Kiambu in Kenya.

The kitchen serves brunch all day, and “sourdough is non-negotiable”: eggs your way on sourdough toast, a breakfast sandwich with hashbrown and gochujang mayo, burrata toast and chicken and waffles. After the bar closes it hosts cuppings, takeovers and tastings, and the Rotterdam Coffee Tasters Club meets every other Sunday to cup four coffees blind.
