Appels en Peren is located in the ‘Vruchtenbuurt’, which has always been one of the more cozy and convivial areas of The Hague. You are welcome to stop by for a fresh croissant with a delightful cup of our Bocca Coffee, a slice of our homemade carrotcake, a lovely lunch having one of our sturdy sandwiches, or to have a wonderful artisanal dinner.
A mainstay in the neighborhood, Appels en Peren is the perfect place to relax, to meet up with friends, get work done on your laptop, or enjoying the sunshine on the terrace with one of our lovely drinks.
Open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch, and dinner!
Bocca Coffee..
When Bocca founder Menno Simons traveled to Ethiopia about 20 years ago, he came across coffee plants full of ripe red berries during a walk. An idea was planted in his head… Right then and there, he decided he wanted to bring this treasure back to the Netherlands, whilst also making sure that the farmers with whom he became good friends get all the organic certifications needed and enabling them to reap the fruits of their labor in an honest way.
Once back in Amsterdam, he locked himself in his garage with a small PROBAT roaster and experimented with his shipment of Ethiopian coffee beans. Soon friends and neighbors lined up to buy small amounts of coffee, and thus began the lifelong search for perfection. Paired with his good sense of taste, he quickly stepped up to making a superb quality coffee.
And we agree it is indeed a wonderful coffee and have thus served it ever since opening our doors in 2014. All our employees receive barista training.
Now also available at Appels en Peren: the lovely syrups from Monin. To add just that little bit of extra flavor to your coffee.

Numi Tea..
Numi Tea is an organic tea. Numi distinguishes itself on authenticity and quality. The tea is made from the highest quality tea leaves. They use the entire tea leaf and they work exclusively with 100% genuine ingredients, pure herbs, and above all, real fruit. This means the Numi never adds additional aromas or flavoring.
We serve 8 of these tea flavors:
• Earl Grey; A black tea with Italian Bergamot fruit. Full and firm.
• Golden Chai; A black Assam tea with a large number of herbs. Spicy and full.
• Breakfast Blend; A mix of 4 good black teas Strong and invigorating.
• Jasmin Green; A lightly fragrant tea of jasmine flowers. Slightly sweet and soothing.
• Gunpowder Green; Gently steamed and hand-rolled. Sturdy and pure.
• Orange Spice; A sublime blend of organic smooth white tea and real orange peel, schizandra berries and lemongrass. Complex and luxurious.
• Rooibos; A South African tea rich in antioxidants with an intense earthy taste. Full and calm.
• Chamomile Lemon; Soft chamomile from Egypt and Australian Mirthe. Soft and soothing
Homemade..
Almost everything we serve is homemade in our kitchen. Our stew slowly simmers for hours on end, we peel around 20 kilos of apples weekly for our apple pies, we make our own mayonnaise, and we cut our fries artisanal, frying them twice. In short, almost everything is homemade. It is a lot of work, but we know from our guests that it is greatly appreciated. And we, of course, like that a lot!
In addition to the artisanal preparation, we also look for beautiful products. For example, we buy our burgers from Weiderij Horison, a family business from Maasland where craftsmanship comes first. Our stew too is beef from the region, Westland beef!
Honest and good food; we like that!
