The little things you'll notice at MOAK
A few details we put real thought into:
- Vinyl R&B, all day. Throwback hip-hop and R&B from the '70s to now — real records on a real turntable. No streaming algorithm picking your background.
- Slow-pressed juices. We use a slow juicer for every juice. Slower and more expensive than a centrifugal juicer, but keeps the enzymes and colour intact. Most cafés skip this.
- Local farm eggs. Sourced from Dutch farms. You can taste it in our scrambled eggs and brunch plates.
- Sourdough by Bakkerij Louf. Bread delivered fresh every morning, hand-proofed 18–20 hours.
- Real Belgian chocolate. Homemade chocolate sauce made with real Callebaut chocolate on The Infamous — our Daily Paper collab pancake.
- Saffron pistachio ice cream. Our own secret recipe. Try it on The Ice Ice Baby (vegan), The Blue Magic Deluxe, or The Mancake.
- The Golddigger. One per hour, by request: a stack of blueberry pancakes with 22-karat gold leaves on a Versace plate, served with Luc Belaire Rosé champagne on the side.
- Real Japanese toilets. Yes, imported. They show up in our reviews more often than we expected. Go check.
