KIOSK by KOFFIE

KIOSK by KOFFIE is a coffee takeaway spot located at Maastrichter Heidenstraat 2 in Maastricht. The shop is situated in the Jekerkwartier, within the city center. The concept focuses on coffee, tea, and pastries for people on the go. This distinguishes KIOSK from a traditional café with seating and table service.

KIOSK opened in October 2025. On October 9 of that year, the company announced that the shop was open. An earlier announcement had already named October as the planned opening month. The takeaway location is part of KOFFIE bij Joost & Maartje, which is located just a few doors down.

The founders of the original café are Maartje Knaapen and Joost van Miert. Knaapen studied Theatre Management at the Utrecht School of the Arts and previously worked at Douwe Egberts. Van Miert held various roles and worked as a furniture maker before the café opened.

KOFFIE bij Joost & Maartje opened on March 22, 2014, and went fully operational on April 14. At the time, the founders wanted to provide a place where guests could relax or study. Visitors did not have to order something new every time. This principle applied to the original café. For KIOSK, only a takeaway concept has been established.

In public images of KIOSK, coffee from Dutch Barista can be seen. This roastery is based in Maastricht and focuses on specialty coffee. A complete list of the coffee beans used, their origins, or flavor profiles is not publicly available.

A video recorded at KIOSK shows a V60 filter holder. This indicates that filter coffee was being prepared using this method at that time. However, an online menu listing all brewing methods is missing. As a result, it cannot be determined whether V60 coffee is continuously available.

The public offering consists mainly of coffee, tea, and pastries. The official channels do not mention a complete list of espressos, milk drinks, or other individual coffee preparations. Prices and available sizes are also not publicly recorded in the material examined.

According to the company, the pastries for both KOFFIE and KIOSK are made by hand. Production takes place in the kitchen of the original café. This creates a direct production relationship between the two locations. No public information was found regarding the origin of ingredients or the selection of suppliers.

In addition to coffee and tea, KIOSK sells kombucha from Wilder Land. This producer works with Dutch farmers and uses native herbs. Wilder Land’s cultivation model focuses on biodiversity. This approach concerns the supplier and does not constitute a general sustainability statement on behalf of KIOSK.

The publicly visible business relationships of KIOSK include Dutch Barista and Wilder Land. Both companies supply products that are offered at the takeaway point. Workshops, tastings, exhibitions, or a recurring event program are not publicly documented for KIOSK.

According to the founders, students, including international students, played an important role at the original café. The café was used, among other things, as a quiet study spot. No comparable function has been described for KIOSK. The takeaway model offers no documented program aimed at staying, studying, or gatherings.

A specific sustainability policy for KIOSK has not been made public. No documented environmental certification, reusable cup scheme, packaging policy, or waste reduction program was found. Therefore, no general conclusions can be drawn about the environmental performance of the location.

Dutch Barista states that the roastery purchases carefully, pays producers and other stakeholders fairly, and invests long-term in relationships. These are statements from the supplier. They do not serve as an independent certification of KIOSK. The founders of the original café spoke in 2015 about direct trade and reused materials, but current confirmation for KIOSK is lacking.

Time to Momo featured KIOSK in a November 2025 article offering coffee tips for Maastricht. Visit Maastricht also highlighted the location, mentioning the address in a video about new takeaway coffee options. In May 2026, KIOSK appeared again in a city guide by Visit Maastricht, this time as a stop for coffee on the go.

The older mentions by Maastricht University and European Coffee Trip refer to KOFFIE at Joost & Maartje. They therefore do not directly relate to KIOSK. Specific prices, competition results, or positions on formal rankings are not publicly documented for KIOSK.
