Coffee Habits Specialty Coffee Kleine Houtstraat in Oude Stad

Serves good matcha with coconut milk

Nice little cafe. They seem to have changed something about the seating arrangement and I'm not sure what's up with that. Inside can be hard to find a spot sometimes. The baristas all have their own vibe and music selection, which they usually blast rather loudly. Maybe a bit too loud to be good for the eardrums? Not sure, I wear ear protection anyway cus I'm one of those people. Coffee is great, if you're in for a treat, get a flat white with the featured espresso!

Excelent small, speciality coffee shopp. Coffe kombucha was interesting.

Insulted by the barista. I asked for normal dutch coffee. He said what do you mean. He said we have country X coffee I started about dutch coffee history. He said dutch had no coffee history. And he was a barista and knew it. I pulled up some facts and he said. I dont know where you talk about. Now at this moment a old lady said in a beautiful sentence something with the water was wrong. He said no. You need to say please. The ego. Its monday 8 26 okt 31 get this dude fired. Some months rock bottom should serve him well. Thats why i dont go to these places.

I really enjoyed the batch brew. Very friendly service and very good vibes! They know their coffee here!

Perfect flat White coffee and friendly staff as well.

Good coffee and a lovely pain au chocolat!

Best barista ever, who loves to share his knowledge!

Thank you for the explanation 🥰

Delicious coffee and iced coconut matcha

Very good coffee. The flat white and cortado were excellent.

My wife and I try coffee in all kinds of places — different cities, different countries, and all sorts of coffee shops. We try coffee very often, and honestly, it’s surprisingly difficult to find a place where the coffee is genuinely outstanding. I used to work as a barista myself, so I probably have a higher standard when it comes to coffee quality. But the coffee I had here was genuinely amazing. The texture was spot on, the milk foam was perfect, and the balance of flavours was just incredible. Everything came together perfectly. Definitely 5/5. One of the best coffees I’ve had in a very long time. ☕️

It depends for me who is behind the counter. Twice I had to deal with a woman who seems to immediately think less of me. The first time, when I was the only customer there, she and her colleague were really loud and I heard him say "oh wait, did I use the right milk?" when making my latte. The second time was like she didn't understand a single thing I was saying AND was trying to ask more money like I asked for 2 shots... Such a bummer when you feel alienated like this.

Definitely the best coffee I have had so far during my stay in Haarlem, very high quality and lots of flavours. The staff were super lovely and attentive, and the vibes were immaculate :) I will definitely be returning!

Fantastic coffee shop. Barrista was so friendly and taught me some tricks on steaming milk and latte art. Would come back any time. Thank you!

Very nice light roasts and perfect flat white

Worst experience ever. Not a hello. Not a smile. Just 2 person behind the bar staring at us. They need to attend a 1on1 course on hospitality.

Excellent coffee, and excellent staff

Can be busy, but still one of my favorite places to get a cup of coffee.

Excellent coffee, well prepared and well blended.

Super delicious coffee, nice atmosphere, very sweet and relaxed baristas

Best mocha i've tasted in all of Europe so far! Great and comfy interior, wifi available. Would recommend.

Fruity coffee beans are really great

Excellent coffee and sweet breads!

The place to go for a fast drink on the go or to give yourself that chill break with a snack during a busy day. Kind people, high quality and tasty food and drinks. Big plus, those beautiful hazelnut eyes under the table… ;)

Nice little specialty coffee shop with a great selection of roasts and — from what I could tell — an owner who really knows his craft without being overbearing. Exactly how it should be. A lovely spot to sit down and enjoy a great cup of coffee.

Really groovy cafe. Quality and extra touches that stand out. Delicious beans. Free WiFi. Dog friendly. A variety of seating (low tables, high tables, comfy chairs and patio seats).

Delicious coffee, good atmosphere, and helpful service!

Delicious coffee and very nice staff.

Super good coffee! (even the decaf)

Lovely waitress, good coffee and amazing blueberry cake :)

The hot chocolate was excellent, the real deal! And the slices of cake were generous and very fragrant! A real treat, thank you so much 💗

Super busy and a pretty small cafe, but the coffee selection is fantastic with lots of unique flavours. My batch brew by the naughty dog was delicious.

Super tasty cappuccino! Highly recommended

Beautiful coffee, beautifully served by a wonderful person who is also a barista.

We had a great time; the barista was super friendly and answered several of my questions. The espresso was pretty good, it's a shame there weren't more options for tasting, but we still bought some coffee to take back to France as a tasty souvenir of our visit. The place is small, but we were lucky with our stroller.

Great Coffee, our regular stop on the way to Haarlem centre 👌

Delicious cappuccino, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. A very pleasant afternoon break!

Great coffee and a cozy vibe. Friendly staff and perfectly brewed espresso.

It is a small place and it was already quite busy. The seating is a bit cramped when the place is full. The lady behind the bar was very friendly. Cookies had just come out of the oven; they were delicious. The coffee was on the sour side and the cappuccino could have been a bit hotter.

The girls were so nice. I asked for a Matcha and when they told me they didn’t have any, but then they offered me a dirty chai and OMG, best decision ever!. I think this is one of the best coffee places in Haarlem, highly recommended!

Amazing experience! The coffee was great, and the guy working there was incredibly friendly. He took the time to explain their concept, the coffee beans, and the story behind how they started the shop, which made the visit feel really special. Their beans are light to medium roasted, which gives the coffee a really different, smooth experience without the usual bitterness. You can really feel the passion behind what they do. Highly recommended, I’ll definitely be back!

I come here regularly for the coffee. Really good for the price, and always served by a charming girl. Edit: it depends for me who is behind the counter. Twice I had to deal with a woman who seems to immediately think less of me. The first time, when I was the only customer there, she and her colleague were really loud and I heard him say "oh wait, did I use the right milk?". The second time was like she didn't understand a single thing I was saying. Such a bummer when you feel alienated like this.

The coffee tasted like vinegar. The cakes weren't good. They don't make Americanos, only Americanos. It's unbelievable that coffee shops don't offer this option! It's basic. Espresso isn't suitable for the morning, and the Americano is awful. I'm disappointed.

I come by here almost everyday, their coffee is delicious and the staff is super sweet! Best coffee in Haarlem, definitely worth a visit :)

You don’t want to miss this place. Pleasant atmosphere, excellent coffee, and amazing cakes.

I stopped by to get a batch brew to go. It was served warm and had a notably interesting flavour. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

The coffee has distinct layers of flavor; coffee lovers can enjoy a rich and aromatic cup here!

👮‍♂️, all dogs on leashes on public roads are fined €180!! That dog is neglected without a leash and poses a danger to all road users. From now on, I'll be playing in front of my (birth) house in Frederikspark without a leash or in the Grote Hout. I've already taken official action, so prepare yourself. No, I'm not with my dog, nor with my idiotic life. You just give me a hard shove and try to throw my new phone on the ground, and then lie and seek attention from bystanders who saw all this happen!! Put that dog on a leash. From here on, it's only going to get harder! A week ago, you just followed me around like a sneak and deliberately let your dog run into us from behind with that loose dog. Listen, is your dog walking near me again without a leash? And who knows, maybe I'll do the same. 🫏 Leave me alone. It's a good thing I was with my dog, otherwise you would definitely have gone swimming. 🤣 I was sitting quietly on the bench with my dog, and you're harassing me. First, your dog is all over us, and then you're with your big mouth. I asked if you were finally going to use a leash, and I got an argumentative response.

Awesome coffee, nice people, chill atmosphere

Super cozy place. Great location. Authentic atmosphere. It’s equally pleasant whether you come alone or with company. Relaxed staff who let you enjoy your coffee, tea, or excellent cakes without disturbance. Highly recommended!

Great quality coffee and small snacks. There was a bit of a wait (lunch time) - this little place gets very busy, but the barista did a great job handling everything!

Delicious coffee in a cozy shop with good service!

There were six of us, which seemed impossible, but we managed it. They served delicious coffee, cappuccino, tea, and cake for everyone. The service was incredibly friendly, we'd definitely go back!

The coffee from Manhattan Coffee Roasters was delicious again. It went from very busy to quiet to very busy, and you just kept doing your job so calmly. A top-notch business.

Delicious cappuccino, beautiful latte art

Real coffee ☕ place with Columbia, Ethiopia & Nogeria coffee beans. It smell like coffee and not like Starbucks. Have very limited options for deserts, but enough to choose. Service was very fast and friendly. Go here if you can wait (can be crowded on a weekend) and you want real cup of coffee.

The best address in town for specialty coffee! They have multiple locations in Haarlem, so there's always something for you.

Great coffee, music and cozy atmosphere!!

Used to be great, but sadly hired arrogant Amsterdam style staff that’s treats you like shit if they don’t like what you’re interested in (in this case decaf, wanted to try it at home for the first time in my life)

Too many people, some of the tables are not comfortable and are too close to each other. The coffee was good, but there was nothing acceptable from the food, only banana bread and something like that. The staff was so busy that at first they counted me 2 coffees instead of one, but of course everything was quickly fixed 🥹

It was a good first experience. The service was great and friendly, and even though it wasn't open yet, I was able to sit down. I'll definitely be back soon.

Best coffee this side of the Milky Way

Day trip to Haalem and popped in here for brunch. Delicious food and coffee, lovely cosy place and nice folks serving

A great place to enjoy a good coffee and cake, located on a small and very pretty street in the center of Haarlem

I got cappucino but it’s quite warm not as hot as i expected. But i like the coffee. The ambiance also nice but quite small,since it was cold outside everyone wanted to sit inside so hopefuly one day can move to bigger space coz i think lot of people love this place too

Charming corner coffee spot. I'm gonna make this a regular stop when I visit Haarlem

The weather was great, and we sat comfortably on the terrace. We were served by Liam, a "very nice guy" with a great sense of humor. The toasted sandwiches were delicious with a spicy ketchup sauce. The coffee was the best 👌👌. All in all, we'll definitely be back. Later that day, we also visited the other Coffee Habits.👌☕️🥳

Small but nice, with very friendly staff. Pleasant atmosphere!

Really good coffee. A cozy place to stay.

Coffee was delicious and a cool vibe :)

I ordered a tea and a latte macchiato with oat milk. The tea was fine and served nicely. The coffee, however… it was lukewarm when served. When I complained, they topped it up with regular milk, not the oat milk I'd ordered. When they returned it, it was 2 degrees warmer, but still far too cold. I had to pay €8.30…

Rude and entitled staff reply to a question with either a smirk or a grunt.

The flat white and cold brew were very good. I also recommend the banana bread. The staff is very friendly.

A cozy little café run by a passionate coffee enthusiast. The space is tiny but full of charm. The coffee was excellent, without a doubt the best we had in the Netherlands. A real hidden gem for anyone who appreciates quality coffee.

Super friendly staff and perfect coffee.

It's all very slow here. A bit dirty. I don't like being there.

Very cute café with delicious coffee! The service was very friendly, and our dog was immediately given water and a treat.

Had the best, the nicest experience here! The coffee is to die for, the food (we took some baked goods next to our coffees) is amazing - fresh, light, lots of flavor, moist. Music was nice and added a nice touch to the atmosphere. The waiters there are super friendly, which adds up to the good service. Everything was so nice that we needed to take some bannana bread, pain ou chocolate and a red velvet cookie to-go. We sat outside next to the entrance and had the best view of the people oh Haarlem. To conclude, nice place to have a laid back morning coffee, get to know the locals and just enjoy the moment while being in Haarlem.

Very friendly service, even German-speaking. We had good coffee and a bread with blueberries. It was busy and located in a busy pedestrian zone. Coffee to take home is also available for purchase.

Really nice coffee, would say the best coffee in town.

great vibe, nice service - didn’t make us feel like tourists

Sometimes it gets busy and they struggle a bit with replying to questions, which is understandable. But I first met banana bread in the Netherlands here so either it’s really good, or my memories make it taste even better. And the coffee? No questions there. Pretty solid, very consistent.

I usually really love coming here - the coffee is always great, and it’s one of my favorite spots. But just wanted to mention something from this past Sunday. I came by to quickly grab a coffee to go, since I didn’t have time to sit down. There were 2 young girls working behind the counter, and after taking my order, it took quite a long time to get my coffee - mainly because they were first serving everyone who was sitting on the terrace or inside. I understand that the team might have been following the order in which the requests came in, but still, the idea of takeaway coffee is to save time and get going quickly. In this case, it took much(!) longer than expected. I really do enjoy this place and will definitely keep coming back. Just hope maybe takeaway orders could be handled a bit faster in the future.

Super staff! Kiki in Kleine Houstraat saved my life, helped me charge my phone, which I needed desperately to find my way back to Amsterdam and advised super professionally on choices of coffee and served perfectly barista, yummy!!! Waitress of the month! Triple A!

My favorite espresso tonic in town! And I have tried them all.

Amazing coffee and even better vibes! I have never been to a café with with such nice music playing. Definitely recommend!

Absolutely had the best time ever, such a chill vibe and music was great! the staff were super friendly and theres such a welcoming atmosphere. Coffee was delicious, I'll 100% be back more often ☕️

Coffee is genuinely not sour. Real coffee experience. Good stuff guyz

One of the best coffees in Haarlem

Perfect coffee, made with passion and extraordinary hospitality thank you

The place lacks style: a rough wood interior, clearly focused on cost-cutting. I'm no coffee connoisseur, but it was always a disappointment. The service isn't fast, but it's always attentive and friendly. It doesn't open until 8 a.m., but apparently almost all cafés in Haarlem sleep in and start late.

Super delicious coffee! Highly recommended for true coffee lovers.

The coffe wasn't to good 6/10 But the atention wasn't friendly .-. 3/10

When one waits 5 minutes to order an iced latte on a hot day in this sweltering coffeehouse, one is quite disappointed to receive a warm latte with a single ice cube.

Great coffee, friendly staff, tasty pastries. The cold brew and oat flat white were delicious, as were the vegan lemon poppy loaf and pain aux raisin.

Very nice owner, friendly service. You feel a bit like you're in your own living room. Very cozy! And, of course, excellent coffee!

Very nice cafe and very nice barista!!

My noice cancelling earphones were not able to cancel out the music. That's how incredably loud it was. I came to try out their yogurt bowl, but after ordening my very average tasting flat white I couldn't take the noice anymore. Very disappointed for a place selling specialty coffee.

Great coffee; friendly folks brewing up the best espresso
