Founded in 1822 in Amsterdam by Mr. Smit, who delivered premium coffee by bicycle to the city’s finest hotels, SMIT’s passion for quality quickly became renowned. Around the same time, Mr. Dorlas began roasting exceptional coffee in Gouda, perfecting his craft with dedication and skill. When the two families united their expertise, SMIT&DORLAS was born — a legacy built on craftsmanship, quality, and a shared love for great coffee. With nearly two centuries of experience in both Retail and Out-of-Home, we know exactly what our customers want: consistently exceptional coffee, roasted to perfection using our signature slow roast technology. Every cup tells our story — a heritage of taste, passion, and Dutch excellence. SMIT&DORLAS – Proud Coffee Roasters from Amsterdam.
