The Coffee Spot opens its sixth coffee bar in Haarlem-Oost
The Haarlem coffee business that started life as a coffee truck has added a neighbourhood branch: a small corner unit in a new-build block on the Clothildestraat, close to the Schipholweg.
The Coffee Spot Haarlem has added another branch. On Sunday 8 November the Haarlem coffee business opened its sixth location at Clothildestraat 457 in Haarlem-Oost, close to the Schipholweg, local news site Rodi Haarlem and Haarlem City Blog reported on Monday.
The new coffee bar sits in a corner unit of a new-build development that was completed in 2024 and has almost 300 homes. ‘Coming soon’ stickers had been on the windows since July, according to Haarlem City Blog. Jalal, Moufdi and their team run the new branch. Rodi describes The Coffee Spot as a popular coffee bar and food spot with a wide range of coffee, drinks and light food.
The Coffee Spot Haarlem in a small corner unit
From coffee truck to six branches: The Coffee Spot opens a neighbourhood coffee bar in Haarlem-Oost.
The space is small and compact, which Haarlem City Blog says suits a neighbourhood coffee bar. The bar has long tiles in a different colour from the other branches, there is art on the walls, the back corner is painted olive green and two burgundy armchairs stand at the front. The menu covers coffee, sweet treats and dishes for breakfast and lunch. Neither report mentions prices. The new branch is open every day, Monday to Sunday, from 8 am to 4 pm.
From coffee truck to six coffee bars
The Coffee Spot did not start out as a coffee bar. During the coronavirus period, Victor’s coffee truck was a hit in Haarlem, coffee platform Koffietje.nl writes. Onze Victor’s Espresso and restaurant Morris then opened a coffee bar together on the Spaarne: the first Coffee Spot. That branch, at Spaarne 38, is open daily from 8 am to 5 pm.
On the Spaarne, according to Koffietje.nl, The Coffee Spot pours its house blend, Victor’s Espresso: a medium-dark roast of 100 per cent arabica from Brazil, Colombia, Indonesia, Ethiopia and Guatemala, pulled on a La Marzocco machine. Besides cow’s milk there is oat, coconut, almond and pea milk. The reports do not say whether the new branch serves exactly the same menu, though Haarlem City Blog says the branches share one formula.
Apart from the Spaarne, The Coffee Spot has branches at Turfmarkt 16, Kamperstraat 84, Marnixplein 10A, where it runs a kiosk, and Amsterdamstraat 27, according to its own website. The new Clothildestraat address is not listed there yet; the site only shows a question mark after ‘#6’.
Haarlem’s food scene is moving beyond coffee too: earlier today Jozua Jaring of Ratatouille in Haarlem became an SVH Master Chef. If you would rather drink your coffee in the capital, see our list of the best coffee bars in Amsterdam.
