Coffeecompany Eendrachtsplein

Coffeecompany Eendrachtsplein is a branch of Coffeecompany in the center of Rotterdam. The establishment is publicly listed as CC Eendrachtsplein and is located at Eendrachtsplein 2, 3012 LA Rotterdam. The location is associated with the phone number 010-3032811. A specific opening date for this Rotterdam location is not documented in the provided material.

The chain’s roots are in Amsterdam. Coffeecompany states that the first shop opened in 1996 at Leidsestraat 60. The formula grew out of two interests: Dick was interested in coffee, while Rick was fascinated by the urban coffee ritual he knew from New York and London. External business reports name Dick de Kock and Rick Bekkema as the founders of Coffeecompany.

The location at Eendrachtsplein is described by Coffeecompany as a large store with space for art and music. Consequently, the concept of this branch is not just about coffee, but also about providing visibility for emerging artists. This cultural dimension is a documented part of the location, although no independent awards or professional distinctions for this branch are mentioned in the available material.

The coffee at Coffeecompany Eendrachtsplein is linked to the broader Coffeecompany organization. Coffeecompany mentions that the company has its own roastery in Amsterdam. Since 2013, part of the assortment has been roasted in Amsterdam-Oost. This is where single-origin coffees are roasted, new blends are tested, and tastings are organized.

According to Coffeecompany, the beverage menu is largely espresso-based, prepared using La Marzocco machines. Coffeecompany’s public information lists several preparation styles, including espresso, cappuccino, flat white, cortado, latte to-go, and iced latte. Additionally, filter coffee, flash brew, Aeropress, cafetiere, pour-over, drip, and Chemex are detailed across the chain’s knowledge and beverage pages.

For coffee enthusiasts, the combination of espresso and filter methods is particularly noteworthy. This variety indicates that the location is part of a chain with a more extensive coffee menu. At the same time, the provided material is limited to corporate information; it contains no independent tasting notes, price comparisons, or reviews of the brew quality at this specific location.

Coffeecompany describes its sourcing policy as focusing on direct contact with producers or partnerships with those who prioritize quality and price transparency. According to the company, direct sourcing means maintaining contact with farmers, visiting producers, and negotiating prices mutually. Coffeecompany also states that it shares the origin and background of the coffees it sells.

A concrete example from the provided material is Finca Filadelfia in Colombia, produced by Yaqueline and Oscar Hoyos. Coffeecompany mentions that Finca Filadelfia is a recurring Colombian coffee. Since 2015, Coffeecompany claims to have sourced more than half of this farm’s production directly. The company links its sustainability approach to quality and pricing that is not necessarily tied to the global market price.

Beyond coffee, culture plays a role in the branding of Coffeecompany Eendrachtsplein. According to Coffeecompany, this location provides a platform for emerging artists. The broader chain mentions that branches regularly host performances and offer wall space to local designers and artists. For the Rotterdam location, an exhibition by the artist duo Kongmeis has been documented.

Behind Kongmeis are Marco Versloot and Manon Rietveld. In a Coffeecompany article, Nikki van Duuren, store manager of CC Eendrachtsplein, interviewed them about Rotterdam and their work. Coffeecompany also published a conversation with Jelle Baan, described as a barista and a familiar face behind the bar at CC Eendrachtsplein. The conversation focused on his book Adorno, noch einmal.

Coffeecompany Eendrachtsplein is listed on Coffeecompany’s official location page and in the overview of Rotterdam branches. The shop also maintains public social profiles under the name CC Eendrachtsplein. Additionally, the location is mentioned by Cafe and Cowork, sharing the same address at Eendrachtsplein 2. A 2021 corporate announcement from JDE Peet’s places Coffeecompany in a broader context, stating that Coffeecompany was founded in 1996, acquired by JDE Peet’s in late 2011, and had locations in Rotterdam, among other cities, prior to the intended acquisition by Albron.
