Station Roffa

Station Roffa is located at Strevelsweg 682–686 in Rotterdam-Zuid. The location is situated in Vreewijk, within the Feijenoord district. The organization does not present itself as a train station, but rather as a “stopover“ for people. In its own description, stories, talent, conversation, and support all converge in one place.

Public records indicate that Station Roffa was founded in 2023. A public announcement regarding the opening mentions Thursday, November 23, which aligns with November 23, 2023. The names of the founders are not recorded in the provided sources. Netwerk ViZi describes the initiative as originating from a wealthy entrepreneur and several sponsors, without mentioning names.

The concept centers around being an accessible meeting place. Visitors can come here with questions regarding employment, social integration, personal growth, and practical matters. As such, the venue serves a social function alongside its hospitality role. The official team page mentions Sanne, Jonathan, Lenny, Rianne, Zoe, and Josephine. Additionally, Marian, Nathalie, and Erik are mentioned in board roles. The sources do not link these names to the founding.

The coffee side of Station Roffa is connected to Heilige Boontjes. On its support page, the organization mentions the option to pre-pay for a cup of Heilige Boontjes coffee. A public post on LinkedIn also refers to Heilige Boontjes coffee at the Strevelsweg address.

The online menu of Roffa Café uses informal names for several drinks. These include “Bakkie Pleur“, “Espressootje“, “Cappucino“, “Choco“, and “Zakkie thee“. The spelling “Cappucino“ is listed exactly as such on the menu. There is no separate list of brewing methods in the provided sources. Information regarding filter coffee, V60, batch brew, AeroPress, or specifications of an espresso machine is not publicly documented.

Netwerk ViZi mentions that visitors at Station Roffa can enjoy coffee from Heilige Boontjes and lunch. The source also mentions two available meeting rooms. This links the café function to meetings, consultations, and community-oriented use.

The official calendar describes a program on weekdays from Monday through Friday, from 09:00 to 17:00.
