PLENTY Den Haag

PLENTY Den Haag is located at Piet Heinstraat 37 in the Zeeheldenkwartier, near the center of Den Haag. The establishment opened in the spring of 2019 as a breakfast and lunch restaurant. The space was previously occupied by the shoe store Van Asperen. From the start, the focus was on plant-based food, coffee, and serving as a daytime spot for breakfast, lunch, and pastries.

The founding of PLENTY is linked to Vivianne Sondermeijer and Jody Brak. Both had experience in the hospitality scene of Den Haag prior to the opening. Sondermeijer studied Nutrition and Dietetics and is listed on the current team page as owner, head chef, and founder of PLENTY. Brak was described as a barista upon opening. This combination of culinary expertise and coffee knowledge helped shape the initial positioning of the business.

The current concept is described as a coffeehouse with a fully plant-based kitchen. The menu focuses on coffee, breakfast, lunch, and homemade pastries. As such, PLENTY sits at the intersection of a coffee shop, a lunch spot, and a plant-based restaurant. The name and concept are linked not only to nutrition but also to a broader approach to the care of ingredients and their origin.

The coffee at PLENTY is currently linked to Ief & Ido, a small local coffee roastery in Den Haag. The beans are roasted weekly and delivered by cargo bike. The website mentions single-origin coffee, with examples from Colombia and Ethiopia. The English menu from May 2025 lists beans from Guatemala.

The public menu lists espresso, Americano, espresso macchiato, cortado, cappuccino, café latte, latte macchiato, flat white, espresso tonic, and iced latte. This places the emphasis on espresso-based drinks and milk-based beverages. Available sources do not mention pour-over, batch brew, AeroPress, Chemex, or other manual filter methods. In 2019, coffee from Giraffe from Rotterdam was used. A relationship with De Wisent Koffiebranderij has not been confirmed in the available information.

In addition to coffee, the menu lists several latte-style drinks without coffee. These include ceremonial cacao, matcha latte, golden latte, chai latte, roasted latte, small roasted latte, choco latte, and mocha latte. For some drinks, the origin or supplier is mentioned. The cacao comes from Peru, the matcha comes from Hug the Tea and is grown and harvested in Japan. The chai syrup comes from Nomads Chai. For chocolate, organic single-origin chocolate from The Chocolate Shop is mentioned.

The kitchen and bar are described as fully plant-based. Restaurant information in external databases mentions a vegan menu and also lists vegetarian categories, but no other dishes. The own menu and website emphasize carefully selected ingredients. This includes organic sourdough bread from Meneer Leffers, identified as a local bakery.

Sustainability is primarily evident in the way suppliers and logistics are described. The weekly roasting and delivery of coffee beans by cargo bike are linked to a lower ecological impact. However, the available information does not provide a full sustainability report. Consequently, the factual basis remains limited to the mentioned suppliers, product choices, and delivery method.

PLENTY also appears in mentions of small-scale gatherings. There are public mentions of “13 Moons“, creative gatherings around the new moon, including an event at Piet Heinstraat. “A Gentle Sip at Plenty” was also mentioned, a gathering featuring cacao, slowing down, and alignment. Additionally, PLENTY Den Haag was listed as a sponsor for a lottery by the Haags Dierencentrum during the 2025 Open Day.

Older menus referred to PLENTY events, PLENTY Wishes, a PLENTY shop, and PLENTY games. No detailed current schedule for these activities was found in the available information. However, these mentions indicate that the venue has served as a community meeting spot outside of regular hospitality hours during various periods.

Since its opening, PLENTY has received several public mentions. In 2019, articles appeared discussing its launch, the plant-based concept, the location, and the founders. Later, the establishment was included in guides and lists focusing on lunch, breakfast, brunch, vegan restaurants, and hospitality in the Zeeheldenkwartier. PLENTY is also listed in international and Dutch restaurant databases with a focus on plant-based dining.

No independent rating or formal award for PLENTY was found in the available information. Its visibility consists primarily of editorial coverage, list inclusions, and database profiles. For coffee enthusiasts, this profile depicts a Hague-based spot where espresso-based coffee, plant-based cuisine, and local suppliers converge within a community-focused context.
