'Coffee lesson 1: In The Hague, you don't drink coffee, you 'do bakkies!'

1 Bodega Posthoorn - Lange Voorhout 39A

'If there is anything typical for The Hague, it is Bodega de Posthoorn'. Bodega De Posthoorn has been a household name in The Hague for years. A special café on the stately Lange Voorhout where artists, journalists, politicians, business people, tourists and expats have met for years. And ministers still enjoy having a cup of coffee here!

2 Lola Bikes and Coffee - Noordeinde 91

On Noordeinde in the cosy Hofkwartier quarter you will find Lola Bikes & Coffee. The name gives it away: this is where bikes and coffee come together. Lola's is a real meeting place for cycling and bike fanatics. But even if you don't like pedalling, you are of course very welcome here!

Lola Bikes and Coffee as you can see!

3 Single Estate Coffee Roasters - Piet Heinstraat 15

Where else but in the trendy Zeeheldenkwartier can you find this exclusive and fancy coffee bar. Drinking coffee here is an experience. You choose your own type of bean after the barista carefully informs you about the different varieties. The coffee is high-quality, sustainable and fair trade. This makes it taste even better.

4 Florencia - Torenstraat 55

Since 1932, Florencia has been a household name in The Hague. Florencia, also known as the living room of The Hague, may not be the best place for coffee (although it is nice and cheap) but it is a very nice place and should be part of any visit to The Hague. Here you will find the real locals meeting on the terrace for a cappuccino, a real Italian ice cream and a tall tale.

Florencia, is also a great place for ice cream!

5 Capriole Café - Fokkerkade 18

Capriole Café is a real hotspot in The Hague. Tucked away in a beautiful industrial location by the water in the Binckhorst near the centre of The Hague, this is a great place to enjoy organic and fair trade coffee from its own coffee roastery.

Capriole's delicious coffee is also on sale at The Hague Info Store. So you can also enjoy a typical "Haags bakkie" at home.

6 Hop & Stork - Passage 82

Two ex-bankers (thankfully) followed their passion and gave The Hague Hop and Stork! In a fantastic location at the entrance to the Passage, you'll enjoy the tastiest coffee. They also make delicious artisanal chocolate there. Opt for a tasting; coffee (or tea) with different chocolates.

Hop & Stork not only has delicious coffee, the chocolate is great too!

7 JoeJoe Specialty Coffeebar - Brouwersgracht 4-L

JoeJoe is the coffee bar of Roast Factory, a coffee roastery in The Hague. Tip: Have a warm cardamom roll with your bakkie. At JoeJoe it is spacious and light so also a nice place to work on your laptop.

JoeJoe is a bit hidden. Search well, the coffee is well worth it.

8 Tigershark Coffee - Badhuisstraat 114

Tigershark Coffee is a Scheveningen hotspot run by baristas and surfers. Even non-surfers feel at home here. There is a nice laidback vibe as you would expect from surfers. The baristas serve delicious specialty coffee from special coffee roasters, brewed with love and patience.

10 Norvolk - Kranenburgweg 160

Norvolk is a lunchroom with Swedish dishes and a fresh Scandinavian interior. Owner Carla lived in Sweden for years and brought the Swedish baking skills with her to The Hague. Like being in Sweden for a while but with a view of the Scheveningen harbour.
