Mevrou & Co

Mevrou & Co is located at Nieuwstad 22 in Weesp. The company’s public information clearly places the business in that city. In public materials, Maaike emerges as the name behind the venture. The own website is signed “Maaike and team”, while an editorial publication in May 2023 reported that Maaike had opened the business in Weesp.

According to publicly available sources, the opening took place in the spring of 2023. Social media posts appeared regarding an opening in April and a phase just prior to opening. Later in May 2023, the business was mentioned as open in an editorial piece. Thus, the starting point is broadly documented, although the consulted sources do not provide a full founder’s biography or an overview of additional co-founders.

In its own description, Mevrou & Co blends a South African atmosphere with Dutch organization. The spelling of the name also carries meaning. According to the business, the absence of the letter “w” in “Mevrou” refers to South Africa, where Maaike’s first child was born. This reference continues throughout the interior and parts of the menu, where South African terms and products reappear.

The publicly published menu shows that Mevrou & Co primarily works with espresso-based coffee drinks. The menu includes espresso, americano, espresso macchiato, cortado, cappuccino, latte or koffie verkeerd, and flat white. Additionally, the menu lists chai latte, dirty chai latte, matcha latte, mocha latte, and babyccino. This offering indicates a classic espresso bar setup with a wide selection of milk-based drinks and several non-coffee variants.

Separate manual brewing methods, such as filter coffee, V60, or AeroPress, are not documented in the public menu. Based on the available source information, primarily the espresso service is visible. The consulted public sources provide no further details regarding equipment, extraction style, or technical brewing choices.

There is also a visible evolution regarding the coffee beans. The current supplier list on the website names Tribes Koffie from Nijmegen as the provider. However, separate Instagram clips from 2026 state that the café works with freshly ground beans from Cook & Boon. Public information therefore shows different roaster names at different times. Without additional documentation, it can only be established that both names appear in public communications.

Beyond coffee, the menu lists several other drinks and preparations. These include a smoothie of the day, homemade lemonade, a B-fast smoothie with espresso and plant-based milk, and a mimosa with fresh orange juice. Furthermore, Melkskommel is on the menu, identified as the South African word for milkshake. In the sweet selection, milk tart appears, also with a clear South African reference.

The publicly mentioned suppliers are Green Fig Deli, Kometen, Kipster, Tribes Koffie, Real Oat Arts, Wilder Land, House of Bird, and Koppert Cress. According to the website, Nicky from Green Fig Deli has been supplying pastries to Mevrou & Co since the opening. According to the same source, this partnership continues, and milk tart is explicitly mentioned as a permanent part of the assortment.

For milk options, the menu provides several choices without an extra charge. Coffee drinks can be ordered with cow’s milk, oat milk, coconut milk, almond milk, or soy milk. While the offering in public communication is broad, the sources say nothing about the producer level of the coffee, direct relationships with coffee farmers, or certifications. Such data is not publicly documented in the consulted material.

Explicit sustainability claims in the public material remain limited and are linked to specific suppliers. Real Oat Arts is described as “good for planet”. Wilder Land tea is linked on the menu to collaboration with farmers and to the restoration of Dutch nature and biodiversity. No similar sustainability claims are detailed for other suppliers or for the coffee itself in the consulted public sources.

Additionally, the website mentions support for Little Lions Child Coaching in Kaapstad. This shows that the South African theme is not only present in the name and menu language, but also in a social reference. Exactly how this support is structured is not further detailed in the available source material.

In public information, Mevrou & Co also profiles itself as a location for gatherings. The website has separate pages for events, workshops, and high tea. These state that the establishment hosts baby showers, birthdays, team events, high teas, private drinks, and workshops. Outside of regular opening hours, there would be space for 30 to 100 guests. This positions the business not only as a coffee shop, but also as a small-scale event venue.

A concrete example is a workshop with vintage plates on 21 April 2024. According to public material, this gathering was organized by Willemijn, founder of My Plate Is Your Plate. The name also pops up locally. In September 2025, WeesperNieuws reported that Mevrou & Co provided prizes for Burendag in Buurtkamer Weespersluis, together with other local businesses.

Furthermore, the establishment appears in several editorial and tourist guides, including Barts Boekje, Gooische Hotspots, I amsterdam, Eef in the City, and a local piece about new flavors from Weesp. Tripadvisor also shows a Travellers’ Choice badge and a listing among restaurants in Weesp. Other formal awards or distinctions are not documented in the consulted public material.
