Black & Bloom

The mission of Black & Bloom is to provide our guests and staff with the most complete coffee and tea experience, in a surrounding where knowledge, atmosphere, craftsmanship, skill, training and service are part of the total experience. Black & Bloom stands for a fun and social working environment for all staff and creates a specific relaxing atmosphere and environment for the guests with the aid of high quality products like the coffee, machines, bakes and cakes but also the retail section. These factors are key for setting and achieving our goals. In 2008, owner Gerben Engelkes became involved in a coffee franchise where he learned the ways of beeing an entrepeneur. He had a very good time with the franchise where he was the owner of two shops, one in the main shopping street of Groningen and one near the Groningen Museum. In the years with the franchise he learned more about coffee and coffee preparations.
