Barney’s Farm one of Amsterdam’s original coffee shops
Barney's Farm began its journey when two individuals, who were not native Dutch speakers, identified a gap in Amsterdam's culinary scene for warm, fulfilling meals amidst a sea of simple sandwiches and average coffee accompanied by a less-than-warm service approach.
In 1986, founding partners Paul Gould and Nicky Matthews saw an opportunity for growth in the coffeeshop sector and took over their first café in Amsterdam's vibrant center. They quickly earned a reputation for their extensive menu, particularly their breakfast offerings, which remain a cornerstone of Barney’s Coffeeshop experience.
The transition of ownership to Derry Brett in 1992 marked a pivotal moment for Barney's, setting the stage for the unique blend of exceptional food and top-quality cannabis strains that define Barney’s today.
Today, the Barney’s Amsterdam experience can be savored across four locations: the original Coffeeshop, The Farm, Barney’s Uptown, and Barney’s Lounge, each offering a taste of Barney's hallmark hospitality and quality.
