Bocca Espresso Bar & School of Coffee
We worked here

Great coffee. Seats run around the room; some are low, like armchairs, and about ten tables have ordinary chairs. Most people come to talk, but it isn't loud.
What visitors say
“Bocca is a huge, tastefully decorated space that serves coffee from their in-house roasted coffee beans. Walk around the bar to the back for the long table that’s perfect for working.”
Matador Network, May 2017
“Zelf vind ik de lichte ruimte heel fijn en doordat je maar net moet weten dat dit in de Kerkstraat zit is er altijd wel een plekje.”
Your Little Black Book, Oct 2025
“Let op: tegenwoordig moet je er een paar euro per uur betalen als je er met je laptop wilt zitten werken.”
