Good coffee in Den Haag?

A colleague of mine from Italy would like to drink a good espresso in Den Haag. Anyone?

Try La Mano Maestra,Noordeinde 138b, Centrum, Den Haag.
The coffee they have is from The Golden Coffee Box, you need to have a bit of luck that whoever is making the espresso does the right thing.
Otherwise try Des Indes.

There's also Casa di Bella (Abeelplein) and de Zwarte Ruiter... and I agree it depends very much on who is preparing the coffee at La Mano, that also goes for Zwarte Ruiter.

don't go to the Kaldi at the Haagsche Bluf, they might have a decent machine, but been there once and they dont know nothing . . .

How about don't go to Kaldi at all? I tried their espresso blend once, it was old and somewhat burnt.

The looks of their Kees van der Westen. Jummie!

Too bad that looks aren't everything...

Mobiccino is a mobile coffee service. They have a stand behind the Town hall on the side towards the railway station and they are to be found at events like North Sea Jass or Pink Pop and stuff..

They are commited to good espresso. Equiped with la Marzocco or Kees van der Westen. You might try them for a summer job...

I agree with dliefbroer, haven't tasted a good one at Kaldi's...

I am in the Hague at the moment (untill the weekend) and it sounds like La Mano Maestra or Casa di Bella are the places to go to. Or have there been any additions lately, suggestions welcomed for places here or in Delft.

De Grotemarkt (adress) in The Hague.

De Waag/Zwarte Ruiter/September/Zeta. All there and all from the same owners, serve decent coffee, sometimes great.

Thanks Andretti, I'll give at least 1 of them a try.

bagels and beans is okey havent tried any of the others.

oh and about kaldi enschede deventer and apeldoorn have people that know what they are doing, the coffee is ofcourse the same brand but at least they make a decent cup out of it

Well, I've been to most of these places but was not impressed by the quality of the shots they served. In some cases I didn't even touch the cup and just went away after telling the barista I didn't like it and why. In other cases (like Mano, B&B) it was acceptable. I have regularly tried Kaldi her in Den Haag but never ever had a acceptable cup, last time there I made a comment to the barista about it I was told that I probably didn't know what an espresso should taste like.... no more Kaldi Den Haag for me.

Good coffee in Den Haag?
