Barista Workshop l Koffie cursus & workshops

if you've been meaning to actually learn something about coffee, not just drink it, smedestraat 25 is where that happens. barista workshop sits in haarlem's older city fabric, close enough to the centre that you don't have to plan around it, far enough that it doesn't feel like a tourist trap. the place is built around workshops and courses, which means the conversation here tends to run a little deeper than most. regulars keep coming back, and in a city haarlem's size, that kind of loyalty is hard to fake. you can stop in for a coffee on its own, but the real draw is understanding what's in the cup and why it tastes the way it does. a slow weekday morning suits it best, with a cortado and nowhere urgent to be.
