Where food & culture come together

Passion for taste, culture, and the neighborhood!

Founded by two brothers from Southeast, is

The Cornerstone is a bistro and incubator in the beautiful new sustainable building of the Oba Next Lab, where we want to inspire the next generation with our business, our story, and our dishes. The connecting factor is always food. We bring people together, create opportunities for the next generation, and are proud of who we are and where we come from: De Bijlmer.

Sustainable in everything we do

At The Cornerstone, everything has been carefully thought out. Our menu is tailored to our broad clientele and features names that playfully allude to our love for old-school hip hop and good vibes. Our circular interior has been lovingly curated from vintage items that have been given a new lease on life and are allowed to shine in our space.

In the kitchen, we work with ingredients sourced from the region as much as possible. We also minimize waste where possible, recycle, and believe that good business must be good on all fronts.

From lunch to events:

Whether you want to order a fresh lunch in one of the Oba meeting rooms (from 15 people) or full BBQ catering for your event (from 60 people) — we’ll take care of it! Tasty, fresh, and custom-made.
