About Chiqueolatte Den Haag


Chiqueolatte Den Haag: The profile of an espresso bar on the Lange Voorhout

Chiqueolatte Den Haag is located at Lange Voorhout 58 in the heart of The Hague. In the company’s public records, this location is listed as “Lange Voorhout / Den Haag.” The venue opened on November 25, 2021. This date aligns with the broader expansion of Chiqueolatte that year, during which several other Dutch locations were also added.

History and Concept

The Hague location emerged from the acquisition and conversion of former Coffeelicious sites in Breda and Den Haag. In publications covering this expansion, Eelco van de Glind is named as the director of Chiqueolatte. No individual founder of the Hague branch is specifically mentioned in the available information.

The Chiqueolatte concept is described as a blend of espresso bar, lunchroom, and restaurant. The location focuses on coffee, breakfast, lunch, high tea, and brunch. This positions the Hague venue within a formula that offers various dining and drinking moments throughout the day. The concept’s roots lie in an earlier idea for a book café in Amsterdam. That idea later evolved into a café formula where chocolate and espresso play a central role.

Coffee and Brewing

The public menu page for the Hague location lists coffee, herbal tea, breakfast, and chocolate as categories. A detailed list of brewing methods is not included in the available text. However, the page dedicated to high tea and high coffee mentions several coffee drinks, including Almondccino, Frappes, Cold Brews, and Flat Whites. According to this information, plant-based milk is available upon request.

Chiqueolatte describes two coffee lines: Home Blend and Exotisch Rwanda. The Home Blend consists of Robusta from Uganda and Arabica from Brazil. Koffiemakers is mentioned in relation to direct and transparent collaboration with cooperatives and coffee farmers. The available information emphasizes origin and partnership rather than specific brewing techniques used at the Hague venue.

The Exotisch Rwanda coffee originates from the Gakenke region in Rwanda. The named cooperative is Abakundakawa/Rushashi. The coffee is described as fully washed and double fermented. This Side Up is also mentioned as a trader and importer. These details provide insight into the supply chain behind the coffee, though they do not specify which brewing method is used for this coffee in Den Haag.

Sourcing and Sustainability

In the available documentation, Chiqueolatte links coffee to direct trade and direct payment to farmers. The company states that coffee farmers receive a fair purchase price and highlights support for female coffee farmers in Rwanda. For the Home Blend, it is noted that the paid price is 1.4 to 2 times higher than what farmers receive on the central coffee market.

Documentation on the Home Blend also connects coffee cultivation to biodiversity. This includes the mention of shade trees and lower water usage under shaded growing conditions. Furthermore, the location archive page notes that Chiqueolatte in the Netherlands is a partner of Too Good To Go, with the goal of reducing food waste. The same archive page states that the formula uses Earth Water, described as an organization that donates its profits to safe drinking water projects.

A direct supplier or roaster relationship between Chiqueolatte Den Haag and Beukenhorst Koffie is not documented in the available information. Beukenhorst Koffie is described as a coffee roastery that roasts its own coffee, but no established link to this Hague location is recorded.

Public Use and Activities

In addition to regular hospitality activities, the information mentions high tea and high coffee as arrangements at the Hague branch. These are cited in connection with occasions such as baby showers, birthdays, and special dates. The location archive also refers to private reservations, particularly for birthdays and baby showers. Options mentioned include “tiny houses,” chocolate fondue, and high tea.

Workshops, tastings, and exhibitions specifically linked to Chiqueolatte Den Haag are not mentioned in the available sources. As a result, the public activity profile remains primarily associated with high tea, high coffee, private reservations, and the use of Too Good To Go.

Press and Recognition

The opening and growth of Chiqueolatte Den Haag received attention in trade media. FoodClicks reported on the opening of the Hague branch, placing it in the context of Chiqueolatte’s third Dutch opening in 2021. It was also noted that the global number of locations reached eight. FoodClicks additionally wrote about the acquisition of two Coffeelicious locations.

The National Franchise Guide also covered the acquisition of the locations in Breda and The Hague. Horecatrends.com previously described Chiqueolatte as a blend of an espresso bar, lunchroom, and restaurant, highlighting its international ambitions and the origins of the concept. No formal prizes, rankings, or awards for Chiqueolatte The Hague are mentioned in the available information.
