TOKI is a chic Amsterdam cafe serving international food and beverage in the neighborhood of the Jordaan district. The decor for the tiny 90-square-meter space was taken care of by Max Lamb and Stephen Kenn. Inspired by the feeling of a Sunday afternoon, TOKI aims to provide a laid back, weekend atmosphere all week long.
TOKI was recently opened on a busy Jordaan district corner by Jeff Flink, who is making the change from the advertising industry to create the dynamic cafe. Max Lamb's 'Marmoreal' marble is featured in the chic cafe alongside Stephen Kenn's 'Truck' sofas.
Some of the globally sourced menu items at TOKI include coffee from Bonanza in Berlin and Crate craft beer from East London. In terms of snacks, Amsterdam's Granola for Gangsters and Petit Gateau Pastries are on hand.
