Lunchroom Zondag

Lunchroom Zondag is located at Fahrenheitstraat 685 in the Bomenbuurt, within the Segbroek district of The Hague. The establishment combines a lunchroom with a coffee offering that primarily consists of espresso and espresso-based drinks. In addition, breakfast, lunch, homemade products, and group arrangements are central to their concept. The business describes itself as the living room of the neighborhood. While this phrasing captures the intended character, it says nothing about the quality.

Arthur and Sheena Shu founded Lunchroom Zondag in 2014. A public business profile states that both had approximately fifteen years of hospitality experience at the time. Arthur worked as a chef and Sheena as a manager. The exact opening day and month are not publicly recorded.

In the early years, the founders presented the venue as a lunchroom with a living-room atmosphere. They emphasized homemade cakes and food they described as pure, honest, and organic where possible. This is a historical description. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that every element is still executed in the same way.

In 2019, Marjolein Leferink took over the business. Her public profile lists ownership from April of that year. Little is recorded about her further career. However, The Hague University of Applied Sciences is mentioned under her education.

The current setup revolves around homemade products, a changing breakfast and lunch menu, and a terrace in the garden. The menu changes with the seasons. As a result, the offering may differ from the winter menu of 2025 that was examined.

The menu includes not only coffee but also tea, hot drinks, juices, and dishes. Arrangements are available for groups, focusing on high tea, brunch, and late lunch. These can be used for occasions such as birthdays and baby showers. The fixed high tea consists of tea, sandwiches, a wrap, sweet items, and scones.

Lunchroom Zondag names Roast Factory as their current coffee roaster. Older descriptions from the period of the founders and around the 2019 takeover still referred to Bocca. These mentions therefore do not align with the current supplier information.

The 2025 winter menu lists espresso, double espresso, Americano, macchiato, cortado, cappuccino, flat white, koffie verkeerd, and latte macchiato. Iced Americano, iced latte, and iced moccacino are also on the menu. According to the description, these cold variants contain two shots of espresso.

In addition, drinks such as pumpkin-spice latte, chai latte, matcha latte, beetroot latte, and hot chocolate are included. A changing monthly drink forms a separate part of the offering. A public publication previously mentioned an ube latte as an example. Caffeine-free coffee, oat milk, and coconut milk are also listed as options.

Manual filter methods such as V60, Chemex, AeroPress, and French press are not on the examined menu. Batch brew is also not mentioned. Based on the data, the coffee profile focuses primarily on espresso and milk drinks, rather than a broad range of filter coffee.

The current website does not mention the country of origin, farm, cooperative, blend, certification, or purchasing model for the coffee. As a result, the chain behind the beans used cannot be further assessed. The historical reference to organic coffee does not provide current confirmation for this.

On the current menu, apple and pear juice are specifically labeled as organic. Furthermore, several vegan dishes and two plant-based milk options are listed. Lunchroom Zondag also appears in the public location list of WeCup, a system for reusable cups. The terms of this participation are not publicly described.

No public information was found regarding other current measures concerning waste, energy, packaging, fair trade, or CO2 registration. Therefore, no further conclusions can be drawn on these topics.

The establishment is actively involved in the local retail environment. In 2025, Marjolein Leferink was named a board member of the shopkeepers' association involved in the Segbroek Festival. The event was organized by the De Fahrenheit shopping area, BIZ Vastgoed Fahrenheit, and Kreativ Events.

There is no public record of announced coffee workshops, formal tastings, exhibitions, or recurring cultural programs. Group activities primarily focus on food, drinks, and social gatherings.

Since the takeover, the lunchroom has received attention in local and tourist publications. Articles have covered the new owner, brunch spots, and lunch addresses in The Hague. There are no publicly recorded independent coffee price assessments or professional awards. The available picture is that of a neighborhood-focused lunchroom with a broad espresso offering, but no documented specialty filter program.
