About De Blauwe Boon
History and Concept
De Blauwe Boon is a coffee roastery and market stall at De Haagse Markt in Den Haag. Their public location is listed as Stall 4.54 on the Herman Costerstraat, situated right next to entrance A of the parking garage. In the data analyzed, the neighborhood is not recorded as Centrum.
The business presents itself as both a market-based roastery and a provider of home-delivered coffee. According to their own information, delivery is available throughout Nederland and several other countries within the European Union. De Blauwe Boon is also a trade name of Van De Mart, based in ’s-Gravenhage.
Little public information is available regarding its founding. The names of the founders, their backgrounds, and an opening date for the stall or roastery are not publicly documented in the analyzed material. Consequently, the company’s history remains primarily linked to its current spot at De Haagse Markt and the way the business describes its coffee.
The central concept revolves around freshly roasted coffee. De Blauwe Boon states that their coffee is roasted from the most recent harvest. It is also mentioned that the coffee is served only a few days after roasting. Thus, their communication emphasizes harvest, roasting, and the timing of service.
Coffee and Brewing
De Blauwe Boon positions itself as its own coffee roaster. The webshop lists various coffees, including Blauwe Boon Mélange, Costa Rica Tarrazú, Ethiopié Sidamo, Honduras Santa Rosa, and Papoea Nieuw Guinea. Temporarily sold-out coffees are also mentioned, such as Colombia Brazilié Décaf, Mexico Chiapas, Rwanda Full Washed, Tanzania, and India Monsooned Malabar.
The product information provides insight into origin and composition. According to the product details, the Blauwe Boon Mélange consists of Colombia Excelso, Honduras Santa Rosa, and India Royal Robusta. For the Costa Rica Tarrazú, it is noted that this coffee is suitable for espresso, filter, and cappuccino.
For several products, grind options are offered for various brewing methods. These include whole beans, cafetière or French press, filter, percolator, espresso, and Turkish coffee. This categorization targets consumers who use different preparation methods at home.
In addition to coffee, the stall page also mentions Dutch apple cake available at the market stall. The available data provides no further menu or full hospitality list. Therefore, it can only be confirmed that coffee and apple cake are publicly listed as offerings at the stall.
Business Activities
De Blauwe Boon does not only cater to private coffee drinkers. Their business page mentions training, private labels, custom blends, and consultancy on coffee facilities for companies. The analyzed data provides no details on the number of clients, names of corporate customers, or fixed contracts.
There is limited information available regarding public activities. The data consulted contains no mention of public workshops, tastings, exhibitions, or recurring public events at the stall on De Haagse Markt. Consequently, the public profile remains primarily focused on sales, branding, and business services.
Origin and Transparency
The available product information lists countries and regions of origin. These include Colombia, Honduras, India, Costa Rica Tarrazú, Ethiopië Sidamo, Papoea Nieuw Guinea, Mexico Chiapas, Rwanda, and Tanzania. India Monsooned Malabar is also listed as a product name.
Specific names of farmers, cooperatives, importers, or fixed suppliers are not publicly documented in the official sources examined. Furthermore, certifications for the De Haagse Markt roastery or stall are not recorded in the available material. As a result, origin information remains primarily at the country, region, and product level.
The claim regarding the most recent harvest provides some insight into how De Blauwe Boon communicates freshness. At the same time, the examined material contains no further technical data regarding harvest years, roast profiles, or traceable supply chains per coffee.
Naming confusion regarding another project
The name De Blauwe Boon also appears in reports about a Sign Language Coffee Bar near the police station in Den Haag. Those reports describe a separate coffee bar featuring deaf and hard-of-hearing baristas. Parties mentioned include Politie Den Haag, Ctalents, SAOP, VITAM, and Koekenbakkerij ’t Möpke’.
This reporting does not appear to concern the market stall and roastery at De Haagse Markt. Information regarding that project states that the coffee was sourced from Koffiebranderij OVErHOOP. It also mentions a blend with fairtrade beans from Brazilië, Peru, and India. For a factual profile of De Blauwe Boon at De Haagse Markt, this distinction is relevant.
Public Listings
De Blauwe Boon is listed online as De Blauwe Boon – De Haagse Markt in the coffee beans category. There are also mentions of Blauwe Boon coffee at Herman Costerstraat 520, kraam 4.54, Den Haag. These listings primarily support the discoverability of the location and its link to De Haagse Markt.
No prices, distinctions, or award lists specifically concerning the roastery or stall at De Haagse Markt were found in the examined data. The resulting image is business-like and defined: a Den Haag market stall and roastery with a webshop, a range of coffees, several brewing options, and business services.
