Preps Centrum

Preps Centrum is located in the city center of Maastricht. Preps Maastricht lists the location at Mariastraat 6A, 6211 EP Maastricht. Visit Maastricht also mentions Preps in the city center at Mariastraat 6. It is a hospitality venue in the central district, focusing on coffee, breakfast, lunch, and sweet treats.

Available data does not provide a full founding history for Preps Centrum. The original founders of this location are not mentioned by name in the consulted sources. However, Steffanie Golob is mentioned as the owner in an article dated November 27, 2024. That article states she started the business with a partner and had been running it alone for two and a half years at that time.

In the same article, the name Preps is linked to the English word “preparation”. The concept is tied to food prepared with care, emphasizing pure and honest nutrition. Preps describes the city center location as a place for coffee, homemade sweets, breakfast, and lunch. Preps also includes healthy and vegan dishes within its offering.

A publicly recorded opening date for the coffee bar itself does not appear in the researched material. However, Preps The Food Label is documented separately. According to available information, that label was founded in January 2023 by Steffanie Golob and two other women. This activity should be distinguished from the Preps Centrum location.

For coffee lovers, the origin of the coffee is particularly relevant. The research mentions Charlie’s Coffee Maestricht as the roaster. However, no explicit mention was found on Preps’ own public pages confirming Charlie’s Coffee Maestricht as the coffee supplier for Preps Centrum. Consequently, this point remains limited in terms of public documentation.

Preps does state that coffee, tea, and bread are selected in collaboration with local makers in Maastricht. The name of the coffee supplier is not mentioned on the researched Preps Centrum pages. Charlie’s Coffee Maestricht documents that it roasts coffee locally, sells online, and operates from a roastery at Gronsvelderweg 19 in Gronsveld. Its presence at the Maastricht weekly market on Fridays is also mentioned.

Specific brewing methods such as filter coffee, pour-over, batch brew, AeroPress, or cold brew are not publicly documented on the researched Preps pages. However, several coffee and related drinks are mentioned. A job posting for a barista and service staff mentions the flat white. A public menu list includes, among others, latte macchiato with oat milk, chai latte, and turmeric latte.

Based on the available information, Preps Centrum offers much more than just coffee. The location also focuses on breakfast, lunch, and homemade sweets. Visit Maastricht highlights examples such as the Pink Dragon smoothie bowl and Tofu Scramble. These offerings place Preps firmly within the day-cafe segment, with a strong emphasis on breakfast and lunch.

The Dutch Vegetarian Society describes Preps as an establishment focusing primarily on fresh and healthy food. According to their profile, approximately seventy percent of the menu is vegan, and nearly all dishes are vegetarian. According to this source, Preps Maastricht received the LEKKER VEGA Silver Quality Mark, a certification linked to the vegetarian and plant-based nature of their menu.

Preps The Food Label is mentioned separately as a provider of ready-to-eat meals. These meals are described by the label as plant-based, gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan. As with the previous point, this label is distinct from the description of the coffee bar location, although it falls under the broader Preps brand.

Local collaboration is a recurring theme in the documentation. Preps states that their coffee, tea, and bread are selected in collaboration with makers from Maastricht. Additionally, Visit Maastricht mentions that Preps prefers to work with small producers, emphasizing fair trade, Maastricht or regional origin, and carefully crafted products.

The Dutch Vegetarian Society also notes that Preps makes extensive use of recycled products. Further details regarding materials, quantities, or measurable sustainability goals were not recorded in the research. Furthermore, beyond general references to local makers and small producers, no specific suppliers for Preps Centrum are publicly documented.

Public information regarding community activities is limited. A Facebook search result mentions a “Preps shared brunch” on June 29 at Preps Randwyck. Additionally, a pickup page mentions a closure for a team event on Tuesday, September 16. No specific workshops, tastings, or exhibitions at Preps Centrum were found in the researched sources.

The pickup page does document options for teams and companies. It mentions orders for teams and corporate clients, with pickup at Preps Randwyck and the option to order via invoice. This indicates a broader business operation beyond the regular hospitality function of the locations.

Preps is mentioned across several public platforms. Visit Maastricht includes the establishment in Maastricht’s food and drink offerings and features Preps in an article about breakfast in the city. Your Little Black Book included Preps in July 2025 in an overview of breakfast spots in Maastricht. Sluurpy lists Preps Maastricht at Mariastraat 6 with aggregated menu and review data. Together, these mentions provide insight into the public positioning of Preps within the Maastricht breakfast, lunch, and coffee sector.
