About Wakuli

We love great coffee. Thats why were building an alternative coffee industry that actually works. For both farmers and consumers.

How By working directly with farmer groups around the world. We set up transparent traceable export lines roast the beans ourselves and sell the coffee straight to customers. So no unnecessary middlemen or resellers. Those short supply chains make sure farmers always get a good price.

Youll find us in 23 (and counting) bars across the Netherlands and online through our own platform. For customers that means freshly roasted specialty coffee thats easy to access relatively affordable and just seriously delicious.

We are building the new coffee brand of the 21st century with a team of like-minded innovators from all over the world. And were looking for you.
