Amazing. Also, oat milk cappuccino is basically coffee with some oat milk in it. I would recommend getting barista oat milk for the texture. I paid over 10€ for a regular coffee and a youghurt. Seriously? Would come back for the play corner, though!

    Nice place with some co-working space. We took a soup, it was ok, but could have been better. Cakes were fine though, service is good. But in general it felt that the place promises more than it delivers. Still can totally recommend to visit!

    Not going there again. Coming every 10min asking of i want something more will not make me want! Food also is bad. Dont go there. Pretentious people running the place.

    My second visit was on Saturday morning, and ordered Cecemel, dopio, iced latte, soup of the day, pancakes. Pros: - open atmosphere - children-friendly (toys and games) Cons: - tasteless and watery coffee - lack of abundance with pancakes - dried sunny side up - wrong information about the soup of the day Unfortunately, both coffees did not have any flavor and Dopio was too watery. I expected thicker and stronger caffeine. Also, there were three pancakes but they did not look abundant, and the sunny side up was dried a bit. Before I order the soup of the day, the server told me it is with carrot and honey. I was curious, but I got a green and minty soup. Well, it tasted good, but it wasn't what I've expected. I had a good impression on my first visit, but I would not recomend this place at least for the food and drink.

    We went for a brunch on Saturday. The food was nice and freshly made for an honest price. The service was very slow and chaotic. I believe this is because they were with not enough people to serve. It was better tot go yourself to the bar and ask so I would like to give the feedback to be more attentive to the clients. Also a lot of people with small kids go to the place but they only have 3 baby chairs.

    Given the price, one would expect something extraordinary to be served. On the contrary, what is served is rather insipid. The only factor that has us visiting De Maekerij over and over again is its vibe.

    Red velvet latte was pink. Our drinks tasted like 3-in-1 instant coffee. Not good at all. My friend liked the carrot cake though.

    Nice to come once for lunch, with kids or without. The dishes are not worth coming back.
