Anne&Max Arnhem Bakkerstraat

Anne&Max Arnhem Bakkerstraat is located at Bakkerstraat 50 in Arnhem. The venue is situated in the city center, within the area known as the 7 Straatjes. It sits at the corner of Bakkerstraat and Audrey Hepburnplein, making it part of a bustling district filled with shops, dining options, and foot traffic.

Anne&Max is a Dutch hospitality chain that started in Haarlem in 2005. The first location opened there on June 16 of that year. Wobbe van Zoelen is credited as the founder of the chain. The general concept is described by Anne&Max as a living room for guests, guided by values such as openness, honesty, care, engagement, and respect.

Michiel Ausems is identified as the franchisee for the Arnhem location on Bakkerstraat. Public records indicate that he has been associated with Anne&Max Arnhem since 2016. The location page mentions a 10-year anniversary on July 1. Combined with the 2026 context, this points to an opening around July 1, 2016. An exact opening date can only be indirectly inferred from this anniversary mention.

The location combines coffee with breakfast, brunch, lunch, high tea, and social gatherings. Homemade cakes, takeaway options, and workspaces for laptop use are also highlighted. Additionally, the location features a garden room. This space is used for events, meetings, and small gatherings.

The coffee line of Anne&Max is linked in public information to three parties: the local exporter Cultivar, the coffee roaster Keen Coffee, and farmers from the Nueva Florida community in Peru. Anne&Max describes this chain as direct trade. The relationship with Peruvian coffee farmers is presented as a fixed part of the coffee story.

The menu lists various espresso-based drinks. These include espresso, espresso macchiato, cortado, cappuccino, caffè latte, flat white, and latte macchiato. In addition to these drinks, filter coffee and cold brew are also on the menu. The menu further notes that coffees can be served iced or decaffeinated.

The publicly listed coffees provide insight into the breadth of the offering. A washed Bourbon espresso from Peru is mentioned, for example. For filter coffee, a natural heirloom from Ethiopia is listed. There is also a decaffeinated washed Caturra from Colombia. The menu further mentions cold brew, salted caramel cold brew, and a latte macchiato with caramel and chocolate components.

In addition to coffee, the menu also lists non-coffee hot drinks. Examples include tea, chai latte, matcha latte, turmeric latte, hojicha latte, hot chocolate, and functional cacao. This information shows that the location is not exclusively focused on coffee but offers a broader beverage selection.

In the coffee story of Anne&Max, the Ramos Ccoillar family from Nueva Florida reappears as a coffee partner. Cultivar is mentioned as the link between these farmers and Keen Coffee in Utrecht. Cultivar was founded in 2016 by Lisanne Oonk, following her work in quality control at Trabocca. This chain forms the basis for the coffee that Anne&Max publicly describes.

Anne&Max states that the coffees are organically certified and/or sustainably produced. At the chain level, several other practices are mentioned. These include a goal of 95 percent organic products, direct trade with Peruvian coffee farmers, and a menu with a vegetarian share. The chain also mentions recycled workwear and a discount on hot drinks to go when using a personal cup.

The chain further mentions membership in the Future Proof Coffee Collective since 2019. A collaboration with Lowlander is also noted, linked to the planting of seagrass in the Wadden Sea. These points are described at the chain level. No separate public documentation is included in the available material for the specific implementation at the Arnhem Bakkerstraat location.

No public documentation is available for coffee tastings, workshops, or exhibitions specifically at Anne&Max Arnhem Bakkerstraat. However, the garden room is described as a space for gatherings. External mentions refer to one room, suitable for groups of 4 to 30 people. The mentioned applications include meetings, presentations, training, workshops, staff gatherings, networking events, birthdays, and baby showers.

Local collaborations have also been reported around the Bakkerstraat location. In news about the later second Arnhem location, it was mentioned that the Bakkerstraat location previously collaborated with, among others, a local mushroom grower, bed and breakfasts, and a children's bookshop. The available information does not describe these collaborations in further detail.

Anne&Max also communicates chain-wide about a partnership with Stichting Eerlijke Start. This collaboration focuses on supporting breakfast and lunch for children through schools and organizations. No separate implementation of this partnership for the Bakkerstraat location is publicly documented in the materials used.

Anne&Max Arnhem Bakkerstraat has been included in several public hospitality lists and news reports. In April 2024, the location featured in an Arnhem coffee bar tour by Barista Global. In June 2025, the branch was mentioned in an article about lunch spots in Arnhem. Such mentions place the establishment within the broader Arnhem hospitality scene, without implying a quality ranking.

In May 2025, Entree Magazine and FoodClicks reported on the opening of a second Anne&Max in Arnhem. It was noted that Michiel Ausems had been operating the Bakkerstraat location for years. The Arnhemsche Courant further reported that Ausems was nominated for Franchisee of the Year 2025. Chain-wide mentions, such as De Inspirerende 40 and Food100, are not specifically linked to the Arnhem branch.
