House of Tribes — Restaurant in The Hague

Food and coffee are ok, but sadly, my last visit will be certainly the last. The barista was very rude towards my friend, who had asked for a matcha with honey mixed into the milk, since adding it afterwards (when the drink has the matcha and the ice) would make it hard to mix completely. The barista refused, but in a way unbecoming of a service establishment, or at least one that wants clientele back. He rolled his eyes, looked to the sky and said ‘yeah yeah sure, ok’, only to produce a matcha without honey. After taking the first sip in front of the barista, my friend thanked him and left the drink right there on the counter and we left. I immediately asked my friend about his choice to leave the drink, and he told me that the barista took a couple of nasty looks at the keffiyeh he was wearing and he suspected some of the attitude was prompted by prejudice; that the drink was not prepared as he requested (and as the barista agreed to, albeit rudely!) was “the last drop”. I cant attest to the looks since my perspective is much different (literally, the barista and my friend tower me by a foot at least) so, at my eye level, I wouldn’t be able to catch every glance unless it’s pretty obvious (like the one I described above) but I can definitely spot rude behaviour. I felt saddened that the objectively poor treatment had left my friend feeling discriminated against for wearing his keffiyeh — which he wears as part of his heritage, not just a political or fashion statement. Because of the treatment received, I will not be giving my money to this establishment...

The place is quite tasteful to say the least. Even though it's in the heart of the city with all the activity, the atmosphere inside is completely different and relaxing.

Although the range of coffee available isn't "extensive", you get to choose exactly how you want it to be. There something for everyone's taste, be it a strong hit of caffeine or a mellow drink to kill time. From what I saw, the baristas are definitely passionate about coffee and they'll help you get to what you think suits you(they're pretty sociable to say the least!).

If you're around the market district in the city and want to chill out while working or just sit and chat with friends, I'd suggest you go here even if it's a little ways away. : )

P.S. The music is absolutely wonderful and sets the mood brilliantly! (Note to the Owner - I'd love it if you could share your...

One of my absolute favorite coffee spots in town. I am there one day a week, every week and have been doing that for over a year now. The place feels like home, like you're at your own cafe, the team is super sweet and caring and they really get to know you.

The coffee is absolutely fantastic. They have these amazing blends which are truly unique and delicious. They are just about to release a new coffee, which I tried recently - smooth, sweet and intense flavour. Very surprising, I was not expecting it to taste this unique. Jones Brothers Coffee are trialling it these days on the 2nd grinder. I tried it in a latte, but I think it'll be amazing in espresso or filter as well.

Absolutely love this place, always getting better. I'd recommend anyone looking for a cafe in den haag to...
