Kaafi • Specialty Coffee And Brunch

Well, I dont leave a negative review often. However, our experience was not positive in this place. I think when you order scrambled eggs, they go to Dutch villages, catch a chicken, bring it to restaurant and wait for chicken to give an egg, then they start cooking. I don’t know exactly how long we had been waiting but for sure more than 40-45 minutes. The service is super slow… The weird thing is, everyone seems to be working. I didn’t see waiters chatting and acting lazy, or the cook is not cooking etc. everyone was working hard but service was super slow. We had to pay 1 hour longer parking fee due to poor service speed. Poor cook didn’t even have a time to breath… I suppose the problem is the way they organise orders and the amount of cooks (1). Kitchen is tiny for sure but its not business to come up with a solution. They brought drinks in advance which is okay but you finish your drink before the food comes and they ask you if you want another drink. Well I worked in restaurants in the past and this is a well known tactic to serve the drink in advance to cover up the slow service. Plus, in this way they are selling you 2 drinks. However, if the service was fast, you would order only 1. In terms of taste, it was okay, it was not something bad that is why I gave 2 stars instead of 1. I would say it is an average food. My honest experience was this, I don’t want owner to attack me and accept it.

Make sure to get your breakfast here, if you’re staying in the Hague! I recommend coming early (or even booking a table), since they’re quite busy. I was here 10:15, and the place was already quite busy. I had a flat white and the scrambled eggs breakfast, which was lovely. Staff is very friendly. Would come back!

Supercoole plek in hartje Den Haag voor ontmoeting of een klusje op je laptop. Pas 5 maanden geleden gestart door Zeeshan Malik. Een zeer gastvrije kosmopoliet. Van Pakistaanse komaf. Geboren in de VS, opgeleid als advocaat in de UK en opgegroeid in NL. Hij verzon het universele woord Kaafi. Een woord dat over de hele wereld herkend wordt als koffie. In z’n korte bestaan al door verschillende opinion makers genoemd als beste koffie concept!

I went there for lunch and had the falafel and a iced latte. The coffee was amazing as usual, but food was so so. The falafel were dried, the bread was not sourdough, it didn’t have tahini. For sure I would go again for the coffee but not for the food.

Great coffee. They had 2 different kinds of square mile coffee n the grinder. Both prepared with Barista skills. I bought beans of one of them and after tasting both they informed which one I preferred and asked me if I wanted to switch my beans because I preferred the one I didn’t buy. The food was served and prepared with attention for the way it looks and tasted great. The atmosphere had a relaxed vibe and we both enjoyed having a break in a hectic week a lot. I can recommend the jalapeño grilled cheese pancakes. It’s not often I get a dish with jalapeño that still has the flavours of the other ingredients and just a nice touch of the jalapeño. Very well balanced.
