(KRON) — A popular coffee roaster overseas is bringing its flavors from Amsterdam, Netherlands to the San Francisco Bay Area. (No, it’s not Dutch Bros as the drive-thru coffee chain was founded in Oregon.)
Dak Coffee Roasters is doing three limited-time pop-up events in San Francisco and Palo Alto next week, it announced in a social media post.
The first event is at Good Thing Coffee in Palo Alto on Tuesday, April 14 from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. The Netherlands-based coffee roaster will be taking over the bar, and the event is “open to all.”
On April 15, Dak Coffee will be at The Coffee Movement in San Francisco, where it will host a presentation on coffee fermentation methods. The event is from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Balboa Street location in the Inner Richmond.
On April 16, Dak Coffee will take over the bar at HI NRG on Clement Street in San Francisco’s Inner Richmond. The pop-up will be from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Neither Dak Coffee nor the local coffee venues mentioned any ticket requirement or purchase for these pop-up events.
Some of the drinks to be served during the pop-up include, according to HI NRG, “Dak’s Blackberry Hug on espresso” and “Hydro Honey on batch filter,” which is a honey-processed coffee using Ethiopian beans.
“We’re honored to announce that next Thursday, April 16th, our friends at Dak from Amsterdam will be taking over the pourover bar,” HI NRG wrote in a Substack post. “Meet some of the masterminds behind one of our stalwart roasters, and sample some of their brews.
Dak Coffee Roasters was founded in 2019 by Louis-Philippe & Veronique, who are originally from Montreal, Canada but settled in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The co-founders are in California for the World of Coffee convention in San Diego, which is described as “North America’s biggest coffee industry event.”
Dak Coffee has since grown in popularity with more than 58,000 Instagram followers.
