About Bean.Bar by Beans & Dreams
History and Concept
Bean.Bar by Beans & Dreams is the in-house coffee bar of Beans & Dreams, located at Abrikozenstraat 97 in The Hague. The location is in Segbroek, within the Vruchtenbuurt neighbourhood. Official store information describes the address as a place where a shop and a dedicated coffee bar come together. Thus, Bean.Bar is part of a broader business focused on coffee, chocolate, and the story behind the origins of both products.
Beans & Dreams was founded in 2018 by a young entrepreneur. The company identifies Stef van Harskamp as the person behind the business. His background is described in Small Business and Retail Management. This business foundation is relevant to how the shop and bar are set up. It is not just about sales, but also about visibility into production and origin.
For Bean.Bar itself, it is publicly noted that the bar has been active since 11 April 2026 at the Abrikozenstraat address. The location took over from the former Koffie en Kansen site. It is also noted that Stef from Beans & Dreams was previously a coffee supplier for Koffie en Kansen. Thus, the new concept aligns with a place where coffee already played a role.
Production, retail, and education
The concept behind Beans & Dreams revolves around deepening knowledge of coffee and chocolate production. The shop is described as an experiential and educational space. According to available information, visitors can watch coffee being roasted and chocolate being made. This open production process is a key part of the business’s identity.
The combination of a shop, atelier, and coffee bar places Bean.Bar in a broader context than just the hospitality industry. The bar uses coffee from Beans & Dreams, while shop information indicates that coffee is roasted on-site. This creates a direct link between the roastery, the retail product, and the preparation at the bar.
Coffee and Brewing
Available information highlights various applications for Beans & Dreams coffee. The range is offered for espresso, filter or slow brew, moka pot, and as whole beans. This allows the company to cater to both bar preparation and home use. The documentation does not provide a complete official menu for Bean.Bar.
Publicly listed coffee products include Cameroon Medium Dark, Brazil Medium Dark, LOFT-blend, Colombia Medium Dark, Colombia Light Roast, and Colombia DECAF. These names offer a glimpse into the origins and roast profiles available. They should be viewed as documented products rather than a complete or fixed menu.
For the mobile espresso bar of Beans & Dreams, drinks such as cappuccino, espresso, latte, lungo, flat white, cortado, and macchiato are mentioned. This information pertains to the mobile bar service. Therefore, it cannot be taken as a comprehensive list of what Bean.Bar serves daily.
Origin and Sourcing
Beans & Dreams states that it sources from small, independent coffee and cocoa farmers. The company mentions direct contact with farmers, payment of fair prices, and collaboration with local organizations. This includes financing, training, and production-related projects. These points are presented as part of the business model.
Multiple origins for coffee are publicly documented. Brazil is linked to Fazenda Eldorado of the Faleiros family. Colombia is mentioned via the La Victoria association in Santa Maria, Huila, with The Coffee Quest as a partner. For Cameroon, Cameroon Boyo is named, led by Matti Foncha.
Cocoa is also part of the Beans & Dreams story. For Nicaragua, Cacao Bisiesto in El Tuma-La Dalia, Matagalpa, is mentioned. José Enrique Herrera and Giff Laube are listed as the founders of Cacao Bisiesto. In this way, the company links coffee and chocolate products to specific production locations.
Workshops and surroundings
Shop information mentions weekly workshops and events at the Beans & Dreams location. Chocolate- and cocoa-focused workshops are also noted. Furthermore, LOFT Den Haag describes the company as a coffee and chocolate atelier, offering workshops in coffee roasting, chocolate art, and making bonbons.
These activities align with the company’s educational approach. The focus is not only on consumption but also on explaining processing and origin. For the local area, this means that Bean.Bar is part of a retail space where hospitality, craftsmanship, and knowledge transfer coexist.
