Green Olive

Green Olive is a hospitality venue located at Hellingweg 274 in The Hague. Available data places the establishment in the harbor area of Scheveningen. No public confirmation was found for Loosduinen as the neighborhood. The Hellingweg is described in public information as part of the nautical center surrounding Scheveningen.

Little has been publicly documented regarding the founding of Green Olive. The names of the founders are not recorded in available sources. An opening date was also not found. However, the name Green Olive appears on multiple public profiles with the same address on Hellingweg.

The concept is publicly described as offering breakfast, lunch, and drinks. The venue communicates opening hours from Tuesday through Sunday. This means Green Olive focuses not only on coffee but also on food during the first part of the day and on informal drinking moments later in the day.

A public blog post from May 2025 refers to Kitchen & Cafe Green Olive as a small dining spot by the harbor. In that post, Manon is mentioned as a person associated with the venue. The source does not describe her as a founder, owner, or formal representative.

For coffee enthusiasts, the relationship with Giraffe Coffee is particularly relevant. A report from Sanremo Netherlands states that a Sanremo Zoe espresso machine has been installed at Green Olive in The Hague, in collaboration with Giraffe Coffee. Additionally, a visitor review on Restaurant Guru mentions “Giraffe coffee.” The latter is a user response and not an official supplier declaration from Green Olive.

Giraffe Coffee Roasters is a coffee roaster from Rotterdam. The roastery is located at Ratelaarweg 11 in Rotterdam. Giraffe Coffee states that it selects and roasts coffee. The assortment includes, among other things, espresso beans, filter coffee, blends, single origins, and decaf.

The available information does not provide a complete picture of coffee preparation at Green Olive. Specific methods, such as filter, batch brew, or manual brewing techniques, are not publicly documented. However, there are public references to coffee, latte, tea, and smoothies. For the coffee sector, this means the venue is visible as a coffee location, but technical details are limited in public records.

In addition to coffee, Green Olive is primarily described as a place for breakfast, lunch, and drinks. Public mentions include, among other things, salmon, salads, scrambled eggs, sandwiches, fish, tuna, melt sandwiches, cakes, pies, soup, and vegetarian sandwiches. Brunch and lunch also appear in public descriptions.

Vivabox describes Green Olive as a lunch location that uses as many local and fresh ingredients as possible. The same mention emphasizes quality, organic products, pure food, and healthy dishes. These formulations come from public business listings and say more about how the venue describes itself or its offerings.

Green Olive mentions on Facebook “fresh organic and fairtrade products.” This is the most direct public statement regarding origin and product choice. Furthermore, Vivabox refers to local and fresh ingredients and organic food. However, no extensive procurement list, supplier page, or sustainability report was found.

The relationship with Giraffe Coffee is primarily visible through the installation of the espresso machine and the mentioned collaboration in the Sanremo report. The available data thus shows a connection with a Rotterdam-based roaster. It does not provide a complete overview of all coffee beans, origins, or rotating coffees used by Green Olive.

No public data was found regarding workshops, coffee tastings, exhibitions, or regular public events at Green Olive. However, the venue appears in programs by GiftforYou and Vivabox. GiftforYou mentions, among other things, a salad option, a two-course lunch with soup and a sandwich, and a high-wine arrangement.

Vivabox lists Green Olive within a gastronomy program and mentions amenities such as a terrace, paid parking, and free Wi-Fi. This information places the venue within the broader hospitality offerings around the Scheveningen harbor, but says little about a fixed role in the coffee community.

The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority lists Green Olive at Hellingweg 274 in ’s-Gravenhage. An inspection dated September 10, 2024, records “Compliant” for food handling, allergen information, hygiene, and pest control. These are checkpoints within the public inspection register.

Restaurant Guru classifies Green Olive as a café or cafetaria in Den Haag. The listing shows a Google score of 4.6 out of 5 based on 120 reviews. Such ratings provide an indication of online customer feedback but do not constitute editorial recognition. Awards or mentions as the best coffee shop are not documented in the available sources.
