Our mission

With love, we create perfect coffee moments in inspiring places.

Our vision

We want to be the most appreciated espresso bar in the south of the Netherlands. A recognisable, timeless concept where you come for the best coffee, homemade cakes and a real conversation at the bar.

That only works with people who are proud of their craft. They create the coffee moments you keep coming back for.

What we stand for

  • Quality

    We take the time to do things right and never compromise on the standard we aim for.

  • Hospitality

    Everyone who walks in should feel welcome, seen and appreciated.

  • Passion

    We do our work with love, energy and joy, and you can tell at the bar.

Quality is the reason to choose us. Hospitality makes you feel at home. And passion is why we love our work, and why you come back.

How it started

Coffeelovers started when Albert Berghof joined Blanche Dael, his family's coffee roastery, which has been roasting coffee in Maastricht since 1878. He wanted to show everything that is possible with that coffee. On 3 May 2000, the first Coffeelovers opened on the Ruiterij, on the corner of Plein 1992. In 2006 a bar at Maastricht University followed, and in the years after came Maastricht, Eindhoven, Roermond, Heerlen and Venlo.

The coffee still comes from Blanche Dael, and we train our baristas ourselves, all the way to an official exam. Together with Blanche Dael we support Escuela Blanche Dael, a foundation that helps children in coffee and tea growing countries go to school.

Coffee by Blanche Dael

All our coffee comes from Blanche Dael, the coffee roastery and tea house in Maastricht. They roast fresh every day, and our baristas grind the beans for every cup. Want to brew that coffee at home? You can.
