Paramaribo’s inner city is full of life. You see it in the wooden buildings, the shaded galleries, and the busy streets downtown.
It feels like the city’s shared living room. Locals pass by every day, and visitors get a real first taste of Suriname right here, in the middle of daily life.
This area is part of Paramaribo’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is known for its rare wooden architecture and the mix of cultures that shaped the city.
And it is not just history. Downtown Paramaribo is where people meet, shop, work, and eat. It is where the city moves.
Kersten has been part of this downtown story for more than 200 years. It helped shape the area as a place for trade, people, and everyday moments.
Right outside you will see the memorial pillar, made in 1968 for Kersten’s 200th anniversary. The bronze relief by Nicolaas Wijnberg shows Suriname in motion work, faith, trade, movement, and progress.
That same energy lives on at The Coffee Box Express. It is a modern spot in the heart of downtown made for today.
Need fast coffee and convenience? Stop in and be on your way. Want a short break? Stay a little and enjoy the city around you.
We serve a great cup of coffee, The Coffee Box signature drinks, and plenty of other food and beverage options. Think of refreshing drinks, convenient bites, and something tasty any time
of day.
Some people come for a quick espresso. Others choose a frappe, an iced drink, or one of our signature drinks. And when the day turns into evening, cocktails are on the menu too.
It is a good place to meet someone, grab something on the go, or take a short break between stops. Simple, easy, and right downtown.
Serving joy in the heart of the city is what we do. A warm welcome, good drinks, and something delicious so you leave feeling better than when you came in.
Stop by for a quick coffee, a refreshing drink, or something to enjoy on the go.
Whether you are passing through the city, meeting someone, or taking a short break, The Coffee Box Express is here to serve you. From signature drinks and frappes to cocktails and convenient bites, there is always something to enjoy.
