ABOUT
Café the Witte Aap (meaning White Monkey) is named after ‘Snowflake’, the white monkey that used to live in the zoo of Barcelona until 2003.
The building of the Witte Aap dates from 1888. Until the Second World War it was used as a grocery store of De Gruyter. After the war the Witte de Withstraat became well known for its flourishing, but shifty nightlife. The opening of the Witte Aap in the Witte de Withstraat symbolises the new positive developments in the neighbourhood.
In the end of the 1990’s current owner Ron Sterk took over the café and the popularity of the café started to grow. Now the Witte Aap is a vibrant and crowded café at any day. With the new heated and covered terrace the Witte Aap provides a lively streetscape, even during the winter.
