Hannah’s Amsterdam

Hannah’s Amsterdam is located at Admiraal de Ruijterweg 107 / 107H in Amsterdam West. The establishment is publicly listed as a restaurant offering breakfast, lunch, coffee, drinks, and dinner. In addition to its hospitality function, Hannah’s has a second pillar: day activities for people with intellectual disabilities.

The founder and owner is Laura van Holk. The concept arose from her personal experience with her sister Hannah, who has an intellectual disability. The available information also mentions her background in psychology, event management, sales, hospitality, and care-related experience.

The restaurant opened in 2020. Honeyguide lists June 2020 as the opening month. CrowdAboutNow reported on October 19, 2020, that the doors were already open. Before the launch, funds were raised through crowdfunding. Over 150 investors contributed nearly 90,000 euros for the renovation and interior design.

The core of the concept is the combination of hospitality and supported employment. Participants can learn and work in roles such as service, bar work, and kitchen work. This positions Hannah’s not only as a dining and drinking venue, but also as a place for participation and personal development within a hospitality setting.

For coffee drinkers, Hannah’s primarily offers an espresso-based menu. The menu lists items such as coffee, espresso, doppio, cappuccino, espresso macchiato, flat white, latte macchiato, and Dutch coffee (koffie verkeerd). It also features iced latte, chai latte, and dirty chai.

For coffee drinks, the menu lists options such as oat milk, an extra shot, and decaf. The menu also includes an affogato with vanilla ice cream, espresso, and a coconut macaroon. The alcoholic drinks menu features an espresso martini. These offerings show that coffee appears not only as a hot beverage but also as an ingredient in desserts and cocktails.

Information about the coffee used is limited. A public Instagram result links Hannah’s Amsterdam with Stooker coffee. However, Hannah’s own website and menu do not mention the coffee roaster. Stooker describes itself on its own website as an Amsterdam specialty coffee roaster and academy.

Brewing methods outside of espresso service are not publicly documented in the reviewed information. Therefore, there is no public basis to claim that Hannah’s offers filter coffee, hand brew, batch brew, or other brewing methods. This distinction is relevant for a profile within the specialty coffee sector, as the available information primarily highlights the menu offerings rather than the full coffee preparation process.

The menu states that Hannah’s collaborates with local or neighborhood-focused entrepreneurs. Mentioned are Boulangerie Farine for sourdough bread, Sils Natuurvlees for meat, and Bakkerij Hicret for pita bread. This provides some insight into the broader sourcing, but not into coffee-specific origins or purchasing terms.

Vegetarian and vegan options are indicated on the menu with labels such as V, VN, and V/*VN. Honeyguide also notes that Hannah’s offers vegan options and actively works against food waste. The drinks menu also lists Eco Tap Water, both still and sparkling.

Regarding the coffee itself, the source information is less extensive. Stooker states on its own website that it is a certified B Corporation. The roaster also describes transparent sourcing and fair prices for farmers. This information is provided by Stooker itself and is not on Hannah’s website. Additional coffee-specific sourcing by Hannah’s is not publicly documented.

Hannah’s also lists private events, parties, catering, and meeting facilities. According to its own information, the venue can be used for dinners, receptions, parties, and meetings. For meetings, there is a separate room for groups of 4 to 40 people.

Public communication around Hannah’s emphasizes meeting, growth, and connection. Participation in Boost je Buurt by Impact Hub Amsterdam is linked to a mission focused on hospitality, day activities, inclusivity, and participation. Specific workshops, coffee tastings, or exhibitions at Hannah’s are not publicly documented in the reviewed sources.

Hannah’s has been mentioned in various public and editorial contexts. I amsterdam lists the establishment in the restaurant section and describes breakfast, lunch, receptions, and weekend dinners with Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Barts Boekje published an article about the restaurant and its day activity model in May 2025.

There was also attention before the opening. Entree Magazine wrote about the new restaurant and the day activity center. De Buik published an article in September 2019 about the plan of Laura van Holk and her background. De Westkrant wrote in November 2019 about the crowdfunding and the search for a location for the enterprise.

TheFork lists Hannah’s with user scores and a label for awards and certifications. These are platform data and not independent editorial distinctions. Within the available information, this creates an image of an Amsterdam hospitality venue where coffee is part of a broader restaurant concept with a social day activity function.
