The Power of Craft
Your coffee is roasted on the floor above your head
All the coffee we pour comes from Holy Beans coffee roastery, based on the first floor of this same building. The beans are roasted here, a few metres above the bar where they end up in your cup shortly after.
That is not a marketing story but simply how this building is arranged: roastery upstairs, brewery below, restaurant in between.

The roasts
Two regular roasts, and a special edition
Holy Beans picks the bean to suit the moment it is meant for.
For a shot of energy
Colombia
The roast for the moment you could use a lift.
To slow down
Ethiopia
The roast for the moment you have nothing to do, or simply want to catch up.
For special occasions
Special edition
It changes with whatever can be found. For the moments you want to remember.
The beans are fairtrade, carry a Rainforest Alliance label and are UTZ certified.
How it works
