Bartine Bakery & Market

Bartine Bakery & Market is located at Piet Heinstraat 72 / 72A in The Hague. The shop is situated in the Zeeheldenkwartier and Centrum area. The publicly listed opening hours are daily from 08:00 to 16:00. The location is linked to Bartine, which also operates a café on the Herengracht in The Hague.

The opening of Bartine Bakery & Market was announced in 2021. Nils Klinkspoor, Casper Talsma, and Olivier van der Ree were the founders of the new venture on Piet Heinstraat. Klinkspoor and Talsma were already associated with Bartine Café. For the bakery and market, they collaborated with Van der Ree, who was involved in the project as a baker.

The concept combines multiple functions. Bartine Bakery & Market is described as a deli, coffee bar, bakery, and neighborhood shop. As a result, the establishment focuses not only on on-site consumption but also on products for home use. At the same time, it is not a supermarket. The selection is curated and limited to products that fit the chosen profile.

The role of bread and pastries is evident in the menu. It features, among other things, sourdough items and various types of baked goods. Examples include croissants, almond croissants, cardamom buns, cinnamon buns, spiced pound cake with ricotta cream and olive oil, and pastéis de nata. The menu thus highlights a strong bakery component, alongside its function as a coffee bar and market.

For coffee enthusiasts, the coffee offering is particularly relevant. Bartine Bakery & Market is listed as a specialty coffee location in The Hague. The publicly documented coffees come from Friedhats, Dak Coffee Roasters, and Nomad. Additionally, Bartine is listed on the retailers and resellers page of Friedhats Coffee Roasters.

The mentioned brewing methods are espresso and batch brew. This indicates a compact coffee offering with a focus on commonly used brewing methods in specialty coffee. Oat milk and whole milk are also listed as milk options. The own menu page features dishes and pastries, but does not provide a complete overview of specific coffee drinks.

In an article about specialty coffee in The Hague, it was also mentioned that Bartine Bakery & Market uses a Modbar and serves espresso from Friedhats. This information aligns with the broader positioning of the establishment within The Hague’s coffee sector, but the available source material does not provide a full technical description of the equipment, recipes, or coffee menu.

The development of Bartine Bakery & Market was partly made possible through crowdfunding. The campaign lasted six weeks and gathered 140 donations, totaling 110,000 euros. The campaign was presented as a way to involve customers and the new neighborhood in the project.

The neighborhood character is also reflected in the description of the market function. The shop was positioned as a store with a curated assortment. Visitors were mentioned as a potential source of ideas for products that could be included in the shop. This gave the market function a clear connection to the immediate surroundings.

At the same time, the researched material does not document any fixed workshops, tastings, exhibitions, or recurring public events at Bartine Bakery & Market. The available information primarily points to a daily hospitality function, a bakery function, and a small-scale market function.

Bartine Bakery & Market is linked in the available material to a local and sustainable focus. This description primarily refers to products that the establishment makes or gathers. For dairy and meat, Hoeve Biesland was mentioned. Natural wines were also part of the planned assortment.

For the bakery, the emphasis is on local suppliers and raw materials. Bartine works with local grain growers and millers. As an example, emmer wheat from Rhoon was mentioned, which could be used in special bread. Butter and milk from Hoeve Biesland in Delfgauw were also mentioned in relation to the bakery.

For coffee, sourcing should primarily be viewed through the documented roasters. Friedhats describes its own purchasing as a combination of direct purchases from producers and purchases through trusted importers in Europe. This information says something about the roaster, but not automatically about all of Bartine’s own purchasing choices.

Bartine Bakery & Market is publicly listed in directories of specialty coffee locations in The Hague. These listings mention the location, the beans used, and the brewing methods. It is also noted that the establishment was recommended by one coffee professional on a platform. No public award lists mentioning Bartine Bakery & Market were found in the researched material.

The profile of the establishment sits at the intersection of bakery, coffee bar, and neighborhood shop. Available information shows a business with a focus on bread, pastries, coffee, and a curated product range. For an objective assessment, the documented facts remain most relevant: location, founders, coffee suppliers, brewing methods, suppliers, and how the neighborhood function was described.
