Fancy Beans

Zuiderhagen 28, Enschede, Netherlands

Fancy Beans is a specialty coffee spot in Enschede that takes its beans seriously. Stefan started it with a focus on quality, respect for the farmers, and sustainability, and that pretty much drives everything here. They roast their own beans fresh, so the coffee actually tastes like something, not just a caffeine delivery system. The bar itself is open Tuesday through Sunday, so you can swing by for a proper cup and maybe grab some beans to take home. They also sell machines and gear if you're trying to level up your home setup, plus they run workshops and education sessions if you want to get nerdy about it. What makes it worth the visit is the whole approach. They're pushing for a more ethical coffee scene in Twente, which sounds like a lot of talk until you taste the difference. Fresh roasted, fairly sourced, and actually good. That's the vibe.
