Kaafi • Specialty Coffee And Brunch

'Petje af ' (as we say in Dutch) for this place!! A big thanks to [531860771:Nasra Khan] for taking me to Kaafi today for lunch. A hidden gem in de Prinsestraat Den Haag for sure! I was pleasantly surprised by the decor when I first walked in. Really cosy and laid back with the right type of music in the background. Food was a sight for the eyes and the tastebuds had no complaints either. I have no words to describe the Pistache Cardamom Cheesecake. I 'm not a big cheesecake fan but this is something else altogether. And then the coffee. All I can say is the owner has perfected it to an art!! Will definitely be coming back to try the Weekend Brunch menu

Where to start?! Malik maked me a Super Flavorsome P Colombia filtercoffee roasted by Cabra and his Dad an Awesome open faced Falafel sandwich with smokey Baba ganoush and some Homemade Jersey Milk Cottagecheese on the side. Sitting here in the back of the shop, on the Laptop balcony, overseeing the Masters at work and the good vibes bring me JOY!

Supercoole plek in het hart van Den Haag voor een ontmoeting of een klusje op je laptop. Pas vijf maanden geleden gestart door Zeeshan Malik. Een zeer gastvrije kosmopoliet van Pakistaanse afkomst. Geboren in de VS, opgeleid als advocaat in het VK en opgegroeid in Nederland. Hij heeft het universele woord Kaafi bedacht, dat wereldwijd wordt herkend als koffie. In zijn korte bestaan is hij al door verschillende opinion makers genoemd als het beste koffieconcept!

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!
