MØS Coffee Bar

MØS Coffee Bar has been located at Kievitstraat 2 in Utrecht’s Vogelenbuurt neighborhood since early August 2019. The business emerged from a shared commercial building. Four entrepreneurs used the space for their offices and decided to convert the street-facing section into a coffee bar. The new venture was designed to stand independently from their existing businesses.

Public profiles list Marc de Bruin and Gerben Cannemeijer as the founders and owners. Roland Haselager has been listed as a co-owner since August 2019. The name of the fourth founder is not recorded in the public information reviewed. De Bruin and Cannemeijer are also associated with the Utrecht-based digital agency The Goodplace. Haselager is the founder of the e-commerce agency Taurus Media.

The name MØS is pronounced approximately like the Dutch word ‘mus’ (sparrow), referencing the Vogelenbuurt neighborhood. In its own communications, MØS describes its intended function as a ‘second living room.’ The focus is on coffee, tea, fresh juices, and food. This phrasing reflects the chosen concept and does not constitute an independent assessment.

MØS lists Keen Coffee from Utrecht as its coffee bean supplier. The online menu features various espresso drinks, including espresso, espresso macchiato, americano, cappuccino, flat white, latte macchiato, and caffè latte. For filter coffee, the menu lists one brewing method: the Clever Dripper. Other manual methods are not included in the publicly accessible menu.

In addition to coffee, the menu includes café mocha, dirty chai, chai latte, matcha latte, and hot chocolate. A seasonal drink combines espresso with speculaas, vanilla, and milk. For milk-based drinks, almond, oat, soy, and coconut milk are available. The menu thus offers both standard coffee preparations and various plant-based alternatives.

MØS provides little detail on the origin of individual coffees. Public information does not mention specific farms, countries of origin, or the particular Keen Coffee blends used. As a result, it is not possible to determine from the menu which coffees are being served at any given time. A formal standard for sourcing or origin is also not publicly described.

The offering extends beyond just drinks. MØS states that its lunch menu features seasonal produce and that dishes are prepared fresh. The menu also includes a vegan cranberry-oat cake and the option to choose gluten-free bread. While these options provide insight into the range of choices, they do not serve as evidence of a broader sustainability policy.

The available information does not mention any environmental certifications, measurable goals for waste reduction, or policies regarding reusable cups. Neither energy consumption nor fixed procurement criteria are publicly detailed. As a result, any assessment of sustainability is limited to visible menu options and general statements about seasonal produce.

The coffee bar has also positioned itself as a neighborhood hub and workspace during various periods. It offered work packages lasting two or four hours, which included a workspace, coffee, food, and pastries. Additionally, the venue hosted Friday evening performances under the name ‘Live at MØS’.

An announced edition on May 20, 2022, featured Utrecht flamenco guitarist Tjebbe Broek. The program ran from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM and cost five euros. A small children’s corner has also been documented. Furthermore, the neighborhood initiative Vogelenbuurt thanked the venue for its assistance with a delivery to Stichting Voedselbank Utrecht.

Workshops, coffee tastings, and exhibitions are not recorded in the public information examined. Therefore, it is not possible to determine whether such activities took place outside the documented periods.

MØS appeared in several editorial selections. Vogue Netherlands included the venue in January 2025 in an overview of nine Utrecht coffee bars. KoffieTcacao mentioned MØS in 2023 in an article about Utrecht coffee shops and earlier in a guide for coffee to go.

Culy included the bar in a national selection focused on cinnamon buns in March 2022. ArrivalGuides listed the venue in a Utrecht café guide, which was marked as updated on January 11, 2026. Formal hospitality awards, results from coffee competitions, or independently confirmed distinctions are not publicly documented.

As a result, the available profile consists primarily of the establishment’s history, its menu, its relationship with Keen Coffee, and neighborhood activities. No public documentation was found regarding specific coffee lots, formal sustainability policies, or professional awards.
