Vinyl Records at MOAK Pancakes — Late-'90s Hip-Hop in Amsterdam
MOAK Pancakes spins real vinyl. Every location plays records on a turntable through opening hours — a late-'90s hip-hop and R&B selection that runs while you eat a sugar-free pancake stack. It's the soundtrack the whole brand is built on, right down to the names on the menu.
You'll hear it at all three MOAK locations — City Center on Jodenbreestraat, De Pijp on Ferdinand Bolstraat, and Utrecht Neude — walk-in daily 08:30 to 15:30.
What the vinyl is about
Real records, real turntable. MOAK plays actual vinyl on a turntable during opening hours — not a playlist. The crackle is part of the room.
A late-'90s hip-hop and R&B selection. The crates lean into the golden-era sound: the hip-hop and R&B that defined the late nineties. It sets the pace for a relaxed weekend brunch.
The menu speaks the same language. MOAK's dishes carry hip-hop names — from The Ice Ice Baby and The Blue Magic to The Golddigger and The Infamous. The music on the turntable and the names on the plate come from the same place.
