Coffeecompany Hoogstraat

Coffeecompany Hoogstraat is situated at Hoogstraat 107a, 3011 PK Rotterdam. The location is right in the city center, within the Stadsdriehoek, at the intersection with the Mariniersweg. Coffeecompany describes the spot as a bridge between Crooswijk and Rotterdam Centrum, with the Markthal, Bibliotheek Rotterdam, and the Binnenrotte Market in the immediate vicinity.

The Hoogstraat branch was announced as Coffeecompany’s third Rotterdam location. The announcement stated that the shop was under construction and was set to open by the end of March. An exact opening date is not recorded in the available information, nor are there specific founders documented for this particular branch.

The broader history of Coffeecompany began in 1996, when the first shop opened at Leidsestraat 60 in Amsterdam. The original concept is linked to KoffieDick, who focused on the coffee, and Rick, who was inspired by the urban coffee rituals he experienced in New York and London. The Rotterdam branch on Hoogstraat is therefore part of a formula that predates this specific location.

The coffee for Coffeecompany is roasted in-house. Coffeecompany mentions having its own roastery in Amsterdam. Regarding sourcing, the company states that it buys directly from farmers or through partners who prioritize transparency regarding paid prices. This makes the supply chain, origin, and payment explicitly part of the company’s information.

The available information on brewing methods applies to Coffeecompany as a whole and not exclusively to Hoogstraat. Mentioned methods include the Aeropress, cafetière, Espro Press, Chemex, and pour-over or drip. Additionally, Coffeecompany has previously reported that filter coffee in their shops is brewed using the Aeropress. This information provides insight into the technical side of their coffee offering.

Various coffee drinks are also detailed in the company information, including the flat white, cortado, flash brew, and iced latte. An external mention of the Hoogstraat branch lists coffee, latte, tea, vanilla latte, and iced latte as frequently mentioned items. A publicly indexed delivery page further lists categories such as breakfast, lunch, pastry, espresso beans, filter beans, capsules, and iced coffee.

Coffeecompany emphasizes direct purchasing and price transparency in its coffee sourcing. As an example, Finca Filadelfia in Colombia is mentioned, involving Oscar and Yaqueline Hoyos. Coffeecompany states that it has been buying coffee from these producers since 2015, purchasing more than half of their production directly.

Furthermore, Coffeecompany mentions that many beans in its assortment are purchased directly from producers and roasted in small batches. These details are described company-wide and are not recorded as a separate practice specific to Coffeecompany Hoogstraat. This distinction is relevant, as not every company-wide measure can automatically be attributed to a single location.

Several company-wide collaborations regarding food and waste are also mentioned. Coffeecompany documents a partnership with Too Good To Go across 24 locations to reduce food waste. The available information does not specify whether Hoogstraat is among these 24 locations. Additionally, De Tweede Jeugd is mentioned as the supplier for Supertosti’s made with organic sourdough bread containing 30 percent recycled bread. Instock Market, Oh Na Mi, and Meet Jack are also listed as partners or ingredient suppliers.

During the build-out of the Hoogstraat location, illustrations by Xaviera Altena were displayed on the windows, providing a tangible glimpse into the shop’s visibility prior to its grand opening. Furthermore, Coffeecompany states at a corporate level that their locations frequently host performances and provide wall space for local designers and artists.

As for Coffeecompany Hoogstraat specifically, only a limited site-specific program has been recorded. There is a public listing for a Coffeecompany cupping at CC Hoogstraat in Rotterdam on May 28 at 4:00 PM.
