Good Beans Coffee

Good Beans Coffee is a coffee bar and coffee company in Amsterdam-Centrum. The company is publicly listed at Binnen Oranjestraat 4, 1013 JA Amsterdam. In public profiles, Good Beans is associated with a small café, a roastery, and the coffee line Fucking Strong Coffee. LinkedIn lists 2017 as the founding year. A separate study snippet names Cody Reid-Dodick and Harald Stangeland as the founders. The exact public opening date of the bar itself is not separately recorded in the examined data.

The company's background is primarily documented through profiles and interviews. Cody Reid-Dodick is mentioned as a co-owner. He got into specialty coffee after studying literature at college and graduate school. Harald Stangeland is described in a profile as the partner who handles finances, sales, and logistics. In the same profile, Cody is linked to coffee programs and branding. This reveals a clear division of tasks from the sources, even though not all internal details are publicly described.

The official description of Fucking Strong Coffee states that two partners met in 2018 in a shop called Good Beans in Amsterdam. They turned the space into a business for specialty beans and later developed their own coffee line. The concept is described in several public texts as making ethically sourced specialty coffee more accessible. This formulation gives direction to Good Beans' position in the Amsterdam coffee sector, but remains a company claim that is not presented as independent certification within the available sources.

Good Beans is described in the sources as both a café and a specialty coffee roaster. The own coffee line Fucking Strong Coffee comes from the organization behind Good Beans. The official site states that the beans are roasted in small batches in Amsterdam. Public café profiles mention that the bar offers espresso, filter coffee, cold brew or drip, decaf, and plant-based milk. Cappuccino and iced latte with coconut milk are also mentioned in external references.

The available product information shows that the company sells coffees for various brewing methods. Examples include Ethiopia Sidama Bensa, listed as filter coffee, and Rwanda Ishema, listed for espresso and filter. A local mention states that Good Beans usually has two types of beans available for espresso shots. The same source also mentions an annual winter blend released in December. This data describes the offering in broad terms but does not provide a complete and fixed menu.

The origin of the coffee plays a visible role in the public communication around Good Beans and Fucking Strong Coffee. The official site states that the beans are ethically sourced from independent producers. The homepage also speaks of a short and traceable chain, sustainability, and small-scale farmers. In the examined texts, these claims are primarily linked to specific names of importers, cooperatives, and projects.

For Rwanda, references are made to This Side Up, the Abakundakawa Rushashi cooperative, and the Ishema Youth Coffee Group. The company history also mentions the Twongerekawa Coko Cooperative Society in northwestern Rwanda, where, according to the source, Cody Reid-Dodick visited his first origin partners. A 2018 article also described Twongerekawa Coko as a farmer collective in Gakenke, Rwanda, and discussed small farmers, trade relationships, and reinvestment in the community.

Other product pages describe The Coffee Quest as a small Amsterdam-based importer of Ethiopian coffee, with Daye Bensa listed as the producer and exporter. For coffee from India, the Srirangalli Community Project and South India Coffee Company are mentioned. Product pages also state that beans are packaged in resealable tins. According to the product information, these tins can be refilled at a discount in the Amsterdam shop. This is a concrete description of a packaging practice, not a general environmental assessment.

The sources also depict Good Beans as a small social space. The official company history describes the original shop as having a bench and stools, where regular customers could sit and chat. A profile additionally mentions that Harald Stangeland coaches the company’s handball team. Such details provide context for the company culture, without allowing broader conclusions to be drawn about the community surrounding the shop.

Exhibitions and gatherings also appear in the public records. Instagram snippets mention work by Sasha Bolhova on the shop’s walls and an exhibition titled “Alt Vender Grønt”. Eventbrite lists an event named “Photo walk – Redefining Beauty” at Good Beans in Amsterdam, scheduled for Sunday, June 21, 2026. In 2018, Fairfood published an interview with Cody Reid-Dodick as part of the WAKEcUPCALL campaign.

Good Beans appears in various public guides and profiles about coffee in Amsterdam. European Coffee Trip lists the shop with its address, opening hours, serving categories, and services. Coffee Insurrection publishes a profile under its Amsterdam coffee guides. TYPICA featured a roaster narrative with Cody Reid-Dodick about Good Beans and Fucking Strong Coffee. Spotted by Locals has an Amsterdam listing last updated on June 3, 2026. In 2024, Koffietje included Good Beans in a list of Amsterdam coffee bars and noted rotating guest roasters. No formal prize or award for Good Beans was found in the sources examined.
