Gosling Coffee Pop-up at MOVE Collective / The Gift Lab

Gosling Coffee was founded in June 2016 by Bonnie van Poortvliet. Her background is rooted in coffee as a barista, head barista, and coffee roaster. She also earned SCAE diplomas at levels 1 and 2. Previously, she worked at Screaming Beans. In a 2018 interview, Dick van den Heuvel was also mentioned as part of the duo behind Gosling Coffee. Current official information lists Bonnie van Poortvliet as the founder.

The company describes its focus as direct trade, relationships with farmers, and a transparent coffee supply chain. These principles are reflected in how the company communicates about origin, collaboration, and sourcing. Gosling Coffee sells coffee to consumers, the hospitality sector, and offices. Additionally, the company is listed within the hospitality and food sector, with Weesp as its place of establishment.

In 2025, a Gosling Coffee pop-up was documented at Overtoom 87 in Amsterdam Oud-West. Gosling Coffee announced the opening of this pop-up for May 10, 2025. Shortly before that, De Westkrant reported that MOVE Collective would launch at this location and that Gosling Coffee would be serving coffee there. The address was part of a temporary use of the building.

The location was described as a temporary space for movement, meeting, social entrepreneurship, and coffee. In addition to Gosling Coffee, Stichting Gelukszoekers, MVNG MTTRS, and Danceout were involved. Other public mentions link MOVE Collective to music, dance, and initiatives such as Soulagé, InnerHealth by Marleen, HEAT CREATIVE STUDIO, and Generation Rent.

Public information regarding the duration of the pop-up is inconsistent for the period thereafter. COSH documented the Gosling Coffee pop-up on the Overtoom as active until the end of October 2025. No public documentation was found for May 7, 2026, confirming that Gosling Coffee was still serving coffee at MOVE Collective or The Gift Lab at Overtoom 87.

The coffee roaster associated with the pop-up was Gosling Coffee. The company’s public coffee pages and webshop list coffees from Uganda, Peru, Rwanda, and Colombia, including Uganda/Rubirizi, Uganda/Kyarumba, Uganda/Kasese Anaerobic, Peru/Querocoto, Peru/Anaerobic, Rwanda/Cyangugu, Colombia/Cauca, Decaf from Peru, and the Tembo Espresso Blend.

Gosling Coffee publishes origin data for these coffees. This includes information such as the cooperative or washing station, processing method, altitude, harvest period, variety, and tasting notes. In at least one instance, a price breakdown per kilogram was also published. Such data provides insight into how the company presents origin information.

A public menu for the pop-up at Overtoom 87 was not found. Consequently, specific espresso drinks or filter brews at this location are not publicly documented. However, on a separate page, Gosling Coffee describes event services, such as a mobile espresso bar with a barista, a mobile bar with a fully automatic machine, and filter coffee stations. This information pertains to event services and not a fixed menu for the pop-up.

Alongside coffee, tea was also mentioned in connection with the pop-up. ITC Academy documented that a white tea from a Ugandan tea project was available to drink at the Gosling Coffee pop-up at Overtoom 87. This mention exists independently of a fully public drinks menu.

MOVE Collective was publicly described as a temporary space where various forms of usage converged. The MOVE Collective booking page mentioned the rental of workshop space and studio space for rehearsals or dance workshops. Additionally, it stated that The Gift Lab shop could be open during bookings of the workshop space.

There are also activities documented at the address that were not recorded as Gosling Coffee events. For example, SwapShare Oud-West at Move Collective – The Gift Lab at Overtoom 87 was announced for 9 May 2026. The activity is linked to the location, but not publicly described as a Gosling Coffee event.

In addition, Gosling Coffee offers a private training for two people via BaristaCollege. The training covers topics such as espresso, grinder calibration, and latte art. This workshop is publicly listed in the webshop, but not documented as an activity of the Overtoom pop-up.

Gosling Coffee states that it buys coffee directly from farmers and works with short supply chains. The company also describes long-term collaborations with farmers as part of its sustainability approach. Social Enterprise NL mentions the mission to provide coffee farmers with a livable income and future prospects.

Regarding European deforestation legislation, Gosling Coffee published information about an EUDR pilot with Beyco and OpenAtlas. This pilot utilizes structured origin mapping, geolocations, and satellite information. According to the reported data, five cooperatives and 1,405 farmers were analyzed. Buy Social described measures such as direct sourcing, traceability, an app pilot, satellite technology, farmer training, and reporting.

The Gosling Coffee Foundation mentions that Gosling Coffee supports the foundation with an annual donation equal to 10 percent of Gosling Coffee’s profits. Bonnie van Poortvliet is mentioned as the chair of the foundation. This information places the company within a broader context of the supply chain, origin, and social goals.

The pop-up at Overtoom 87 received attention in May 2025 as part of the temporary use of the building. The coverage focused primarily on dance, coffee, and community gathering at the location. Awards or ranking mentions specifically awarded to the Gosling Coffee pop-up at MOVE Collective or The Gift Lab are not documented in the available data.
