Similarly, I’ll do my best to keep this list updated with new recommendations, so let me know if I missed your favorite cafe in the Hague! As I’m lactose-intolerant, I’ve probably missed a couple of places as I’ll leave immediately if there’s not a non-dairy milk alternative. I swore that I had photos of all of these cafes, but I’ll be updating this with better photos. I hope this list of the best coffee shops in the Hague (according me as well as friends) helps inspire you to get a nice coffee somewhere in the Hague. 😉 To be fair, I’m lactose-intolerant and I often drink a latte when I’m out, however my husband is the one typically orders a black coffee. 😉 Best Cafes & Coffee Shops in the HagueĪs a caffeine addict who writes full-time, I’ve done a lot of research for you all. In this list of coffee shops in the Hague, I’ve chosen to focus on cafes in the Hague that serve sustainable beans and/or make efforts to contribute back to the environment. Luckily today, we have the means to choose coffee that comes from sustainable roots in terms of labor as well as the environment. Admittedly, the history of coffee still is interwoven with the history of forced labor in other forms. This forced labor system remained in place until 1908. As a result, the first coffee shop in the Netherlands opened here in the Hague on Korte Voorhout in 1664.Īfter perfecting the coffee plant itself in Amsterdam, Java (in Indonesia today) became the setting for large-scale coffee plantations with forced labor. As soon as the Dutch were able to supply their own coffee, the demand flourished. Within the next hundred years, the Dutch started cultivating coffee in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), partially due to slave labor. In 1616, a Dutch trader stole one of the fertile seedlings and brought it back to Amsterdam. Long before the West discovered coffee, it was widely enjoyed elsewhere in the Middle East/Asia, however, traders from Yemen tried to control the supply once it was discovered by Europeans. It’s actually quite fitting to drink coffee in the Hague as it is the Dutch who we can thank for our coffee addictions. If you are looking for more in-depth travel advice about Belgium and the Netherlands, I created a guidebook on behalf of Moon Travel about Amsterdam, Brussels, and Bruges.
