At Heilige Boontjes it's not just about coffee, but above all about people. Here, young people who could use a helping hand are given the opportunity to learn barista and hospitality skills. And you can taste it! Not only in the coffee, which is really great, by the way, but also in the atmosphere. Warm, no-nonsense and straightforward, just like Rotterdam itself.
Order a classic cappuccino, a strong flat white or go for a Heilige Special, a seasonal surprise from the barista. And yes, of course there are also freshly baked treats, because what's a cup of coffee without something sweet with it?
At Heilige Boontjes you don't just get a shot of caffeine, but also a shot of positivity!
In addition to a wonderful coffee experience, this place is all about the bigger picture. Heilige Boontjes is a social initiative that trains young people with difficult pasts and guides them towards a new start. And it works: hundreds of ‘beans’ have already successfully moved on to work and education.
So whether you're here for your daily dose of caffeine or just want to have a chat with the baristas, the coffee is ready for you here. And believe us, you will go home with a good feeling (and maybe a bag of freshly roasted beans).
