    Hidden Gem in the city of Utrecht, where you can find great atmosphere and relaxing as well as great coffee and homemade cakes! Must visit place while you are in Utrecht.

    For me the hidden gem amongst cafes in Utrecht. Super friendly staff who do there best to handle the often busy days. Can be a bit noisy due to kids but during the week an amazing place to take some time out - positive vibes only!

    Good coffee and a great selection of Küchen.

    For 4.5€ the slices of cake are embarrassingly small. Service takes a terrible amount of time even though it wasn't busy. Our order was also wrong. I believe the quality of the food and coffee is good, the store also looks cozy. But if you want a quieter place, then this isn't it, although that's people's fault for being too loud.

    This is one of my favorite cafés in Utrecht! Perfect atmosphere for reading, catching up with friends or showing people around. It’s not far from the center but coffee, food and staff are amazing! I’ve since moved away but I catch myself from time to time missing this great place :)

    Nice breakfast and coffee, although the size of the iced latte is quite small. Must try the Lemon Pie Bar!!

  • 4/5 Friedrich Albert K. 11 months ago on Google
    Cute place. Very tasty coffee and banana bread. But it's not suitable for me to work, cause usually there are a lot of kids and it's noisy.

  • 5/5 Sirin T. 11 months ago on Google
    We love coming here, it's a nice mix of parents with their kids and people working on their laptops. They have delicious cakes and good coffee&tea.

    We had a wonderful brunch. The staff was great, the food amazing and the vibes were immaculate. When I walked in this morning I immediately received a shower of love! 3 hugs, the best filtered iced coffee - the barista's specialty - and the room was filled with energizing music. Romanticising feelings and getting lost in the Rocking Chair is my favourite activity. I can see beauty,, sadness, and a couple of other things in the artwork of the thousands of cappuccinos I ordered here.

  • 5/5 Edwin R. 4 years ago on Google
    A nice and very friendly cafe. A good cafe located in the middle of Utrecht, owners are very friendly and warm. You can definitely use the place to either study or work since it have two huge table where you can layout your stuff. It also have a playroom for kids where they can play and rest. Food is good and definitely worth the price.

    Happy kids happy parents, nice play corner for young kids. Cozy little cafe, but chairs and tables are a bit wobbly. Average coffee and bakery.

  • 4/5 Ruba M. 5 years ago on Google
    One of my favorite coffee places in Utrecht. The large table is comfortable for work/ studying. They have lunch combo deals (coffee, juice and sandwich for 10 Euros). They make excellent coffees and OK sandwiches. Super friendly staff, they don’t mind you sifting there to do your work in Peace, no pressure to get your next order.

    Laidback neighborhood hotspot, very popular among families with small kids. Great breakfast options. Nice matcha soy latte. Can be a bit noisy due to the kids, but the atmosphere is very friendly.

  • 5/5 Gastrogruender Jonathan & S. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice & chill Cafe with friendly staff and tasty breakfast. Coffee was also good. Only the single use plastic containers for e.g. the jam is a minus.

  • 5/5 Philip M. 2 years ago on Google
    Best cafe in Utrecht! Great and friendly staff

  • 4/5 Amasi 3 years ago on Google
    A nice vintage cafe in mid Utrecht with delicious coffee. Calm, freindly staff and the food is good. Kid-friendly as they have a spacious playroom full of toys in the back of the cafe. Improvement points: service a bit slow , Plants need more care. I would come back here💗

👍👍 What an amazing venue! We came to watch My Morning Jacket from the UK after watching them in Manchester, a few days earlier. While I do love a bit of the O2 Ritz Manchester, this venue blew it away completely... Great smoking area too! Cheap bar prices and the sound was incredible in the Grote Zaal...
