CC Hinthamer

CC Hinthamer is located at Hinthamerstraat 17 in the center of ’s-Hertogenbosch. The branch announced via Instagram on October 7, 2022, that it was open. The trade publication Out.of.Home Shops described the opening on November 1, 2022, as the first Coffeecompany location in North Brabant. Names of founders or owners linked solely to this branch have not been publicly documented.

This location is part of Coffeecompany, a business that began in 1996 at Leidsestraat 60 in Amsterdam. Dick de Kock and Rick Bekkema founded the company. According to the company history, De Kock brought his passion for coffee to the table, while Bekkema was inspired by the urban coffee culture he observed in New York and London.

Before Coffeecompany arrived, the building housed café De Meierijsche Kar. The design firm Ninetynine handled the renovation. During this process, the existing stained glass by Marius de Leeuw and Kees van Stiphout was preserved. The location thus combines a new hospitality function with visible elements from the previous interior. Coffeecompany describes the concept as an informal café where trained baristas prepare coffee.

Coffeecompany has its own coffee roastery in Amsterdam. The official page for CC Hinthamer states that the bar uses an espresso machine built specifically for Coffeecompany. On the location's social media, you can see cappuccino, cortado, flat white, latte, and iced latte. A Dirty Chai Latte and drinks with salted vanilla cold foam have also appeared in posts.

Coffeecompany's general information also mentions AeroPress, cafetière or Espro Press, Chemex, and pour-over or filter preparation. It is not publicly documented which of these manual methods are standard at CC Hinthamer. There is also no current list of origin countries, producers, or beans specific to this location. As a result, the offering can only be described in broad terms.

In addition to drinks, the location page mentions Bossche Bollen from Jan de Groot. The available information provides no further details regarding varieties, prices, or daily availability.

The location page states that Coffeecompany purchases coffee directly from farmers. The broader procurement policy mentions two routes: direct purchase from producers and purchase through partners who disclose the paid farmer price. In the case of direct procurement, the company maintains contact with producers, visits farms, and negotiates prices with the parties involved.

Coffeecompany also states that it publishes information about the origin and background of the coffees it sells. The company links this approach to quality-based pricing agreements, rather than treating coffee solely as an anonymous commodity. No separate data has been published for CC Hinthamer regarding energy use, waste, reusable packaging, transport, or emissions. The available information therefore focuses primarily on the chain's general procurement policy.

The location organized and communicated several events beyond regular sales. On May 28, 2024, a clothing swap took place from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. A second clothing swap was scheduled for September 11, 2025, from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM. Additionally, the location was part of a Coffee Tour with singer-songwriter Zoë Livay, including a performance in the shop.

Structured workshops, coffee tastings, or exhibitions are not publicly documented for this location. Coffeecompany states at the corporate level that some locations organize performances and provide space for local designers and artists. However, the official information does not designate CC Hinthamer as a permanent exhibition venue.

The arrival of the location received attention in trade and local media. PropertyNL reported in July 2022 that Coffeecompany had secured the building for its first location in Noord-Brabant. Out.of.Home Shops later described the opening and renovation. Bastion Oranje noted both the opening and the previous use of the building. Den Bosch City included the shop in a 2023 overview of cafés and breakfast spots that open before 10:00 AM.

No public prices, industry awards, or mentions in coffee competitions have been found for CC Hinthamer. The profile of the location is therefore determined primarily by its location, its affiliation with Coffeecompany, the use of the existing building, and a few publicly announced events.
