Kessens is eind 2014 geopend door Anna en Casper Holtkamp. Zij hebben elkaar leren kennen in het buitenland en besloten samen een lunchroom te beginnen in Amsterdam. Kessens serveert een diversiteit aan wereldse gerechten en natuurlijk onze Amsterdamse trots: Holtkamp. Je kan kiezen tussen bijvoorbeeld eieren met truffelroom en bellini’s voor het ontbijt, een klassieke uiensoep en salades voor de lunch. Er is een handjevol wijnen per glas, maar ook alcoholvrije bubbels en een huisgemaakte limonade.

Designvision
A characteristic building located in the Jordaan, constructed at the beginning of the 20th century. Built in 1913, the property reflects the influences of architectural movements that were popular in the Netherlands at that time.
Characteristic of the Jordaan are the small and narrow plots. As a result, the buildings are often no more than 4.5 meters wide, a feature shared by Bloemstraat 81. Typical of the era are the narrow staircases, high ceilings, and large windows.
