Cupp Burgemeester Reigerstraat

Cupp Burgemeester Reigerstraat is a coffee bar in Utrecht Oost, located at Burgemeester Reigerstraat 63. The location is part of Cupp, a Utrecht-based enterprise focused on specialty coffee, tea, breakfast, brunch, lunch, pastries, workshops, and training. The Burgemeester Reigerstraat location is the third Cupp site in Utrecht. Its opening was publicly documented on Saturday, December 13, 2025.

The development of Cupp traces back to the earlier career of Peter Braakman. Public sources identify him as the owner and founder. He previously worked as a Doppio Espresso franchisee before transitioning to his own formula. The first Cupp opened in January 2019 at Nobelstraat 239. In September 2022, a location on Kanaalweg followed. Subsequently, the branch in Utrecht Oost on Burgemeester Reigerstraat was established.

The concept revolves around coffee and related hospitality, with a strong emphasis on knowledge transfer. Cupp itself describes its goal as introducing guests to specialty coffee. This is achieved through the coffees served at the bar, as well as through workshops and training sessions. No additional co-founders are publicly documented in the provided materials.

The branch on Burgemeester Reigerstraat is situated in Utrecht Oost. Public records refer to the location as either Cupp Burgemeester Reigerstraat or Cupp Burgermeester Reigerstraat. A workshop space is also noted for this location. This means the venue serves not only as a bar but also as a hub for training and small-scale gatherings.

Cupp’s space rental listings for Burgemeester Reigerstraat mention the rooms “Geisha” and “Koffiebar.” Coffee tastings, barista workshops, and latte art workshops are cited as potential components of events. Community activities specifically linked to Utrecht Oost are not further documented in the provided materials.

The coffee foundation at Cupp consists of a house espresso that changes throughout the year. Keen Coffee Roasters is named as the roaster for the house espresso. Additionally, Cupp works with filter coffees and guest roasters that may change monthly. For the location on Burgemeester Reigerstraat, 18GRAM lists Keen Coffee as the bean supplier and mentions espresso, Origami dripper, and Hario V60 as brewing methods.

The March 2026 menu for Kanaalweg and Burgemeester Reigerstraat lists several black coffee options. These include espresso, filter batch brew, Americano, and Pot Origami filter coffee. The same menu notes that guests can choose between Cupp Single Origin house coffee and a rotating coffee on the second grinder.

Milk-based drinks on the menu include flat white, cappuccino, cortado, espresso macchiato, café latte, latte macchiato, caramel macchiato, and Baby Cupp. Cold drinks are also featured, such as iced cappuccino, iced filter, iced Americano, iced latte, espresso tonic, and house-made iced tea. This list primarily highlights the breadth of brewing methods available.

In addition to coffee, the menu offers items for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and pastries. It also lists suppliers and product names, including Oatly, Schulp Bio Appelsap, Bunker Lemonade, and Twisted jam. The menu marks vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. These are factual menu indicators rather than a complete nutritional analysis.

For specialty coffees, Cupp documents origin details such as country, farm, variety, process, and producer. The materials mention Keen Coffee, Friedhats, and Blommers. Specific names are also listed, including Nestor Lasso from Finca El Diviso, Diego Horta from El Rincón, and Rigoberto Herrera with Café Granja La Esperanza at Finca Las Margaritas.

A 2022 source described how Cupp worked with KEEN for the main espresso and with rotating Dutch and European roasters on the second grinder and filter bar. This included Friedhats, Manhattan Coffee Roasters, Shokunin, Gardelli Coffee, and Coffee Collective. This information predates the opening at Burgemeester Reigerstraat. Current public confirmation that Manhattan Coffee Roasters is a permanent roaster for this location is not present in the provided materials.

Cupp offers various workshop formats. The materials list barista, latte art, filter coffee, Sage, espresso, coffee roasting, English barista, English latte art, private workshops, SCA Barista Skills, and training for the hospitality industry. Burgemeester Reigerstraat is explicitly mentioned as a location with a workshop space.

Additionally, Cupp-wide events are documented. The Cup Tasters Competition is listed for Friday, June 19 at Cupp Kanaalweg, with sponsors such as Moccamaster, Oatly, Lerine, Keen, Koffie.nl, Baratza, Brita, and Cupp. The Utregse Latte Art Throwdown 2026 is listed for Friday, February 27 at Kanaalweg 59, featuring Oatly, Sage, Fender Coffee, Koffietje.nl, Cupp, and Café Courant. These events are not documented as activities at Burgemeester Reigerstraat.

Regarding sourcing, Cupp states that it uses local products as much as possible. Freshness, the environment, and the Utrecht region are mentioned. A fully plant-based arrangement is also possible. Furthermore, Cupp describes how it personally selects the served coffees and maintains contact with roasters and the stories behind the coffee.

Cupp has been mentioned in various public publications. European Coffee Trip published a story in 2022 about the Kanaalweg location and Peter Braakman. Centrum Utrecht described the transition from Doppio to Cupp. Koffietje mentions Peter Braakman, the 2019 opening, Keen Coffee, plant-based milk options, and equipment. 18GRAM published a separate mention for Cupp Burgemeester Reigerstraat in 2026.
