About us
The Dutch Language Café is the place in The Hague where people of many different nationalities can come together, feel at home, have fun, get to know each other and learn Dutch. All information can be found at: www.dutchlanguagecafe.com
Since July 2024, and thanks to a successful crowdfunding campaign, we have our own café in the centre of The Hague! Come by, drink coffee, play games, and have a chat, even outside of the usual events! We are open Wednesday to Saturday 11:00-23:00 and Sunday 12:00-17:00, and we're located at Herengracht 13A.
Tot snel!
