Brazil in every cup, since 2008
From a small Brazilian café in Amsterdam to one of the few roasters in Europe that roasts only Brazilian specialty coffee.
Brazuca is what Brazilians call themselves when they live abroad. Tiago is one of them.
Tiago Gawlinski grew up in Brazil and moved to the Netherlands in 1990. His love for Brazilian coffee came with him. Brazuca is how he shares the coffee he grew up with, roasted the way it should taste.
How it started
-
1990
A Brazilian in Amsterdam
Tiago leaves Brazil and builds a new life in the Netherlands.
-
2008
Casa Brazuca opens
A small Brazilian café in Amsterdam, and one of the first places in the Netherlands to serve pão de queijo and açaí na tigela. It quickly became a local favorite.
-
Growing
From café to coffee brand
Casa Brazuca becomes Brazuca Coffee, with locations in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and São Paulo.

Today
All in on coffee
We focus on what we love most: sourcing and roasting Brazilian specialty coffee in Amsterdam, and sending it fresh to your door.
We know who grows our coffee
We buy our coffee directly from producers in Brazil and visit them on the farm. That way we know how every coffee is grown and processed, and the farmer gets a fair price for good work.
It also means we can bring you coffees you won't find anywhere else, from classic chocolatey blends to rare microlots.
Three things we never compromise on
-
Only Brazil
Brazil is not one flavor. From the Cerrado to the Mantiqueira mountains, every region tastes different. We roast nothing else, so we can show you all of it.
-
Roasted in Amsterdam
We roast in small batches every week, so your coffee arrives fresh and at its best.
-
Made for how you brew
Espresso roasts are full and chocolatey, filter roasts lighter and brighter. Whole beans or ground for your brew method, you choose.

€1 of every order goes to Estrela da Favela
Tiago grew up seeing poverty up close in Brazil. That is why every order supports Estrela da Favela, a project for kids in the Mangueira community in Rio de Janeiro.
