Blackbird is perfectly located on beautiful Oudegracht in the centre of Utrecht and is selling…read moregreat coffee and vintage items. Blackbird is situated in quite a small space but has lots to offer. Not only they brew good coffee but also sell art, 60-70s style furniture, t-shirts and vintage bicycles. It is one of the first espresso bars in Utrecht combining the possibility of drinking coffee with shopping. Blackbird uses Koffieslab beans which are nice but sometimes have a sour note (don't kill the messenger, it's a personal preference). Apart from coffee Blackbird has a small menu with breakfast, dessert and refreshing drinks options. Baked goodies are made from biological products and are quite ok, but unfortunately very inconsistent and definitely not the best in town. Overall, Blackbird is a nice place for a cup of coffee and definitely a noticeable stop in search for interesting vintage items.

Yea! Yea! Veg, yea!…read more Great vegetarian and vegan food in the middle of cute Utrecht? Check! Loaded with ambiance and fun people surrounding you? Check! Reasonable prices and interesting drinks? Check! I had the delicious Moroccan soup with lentils and 2 pieces of bread, complemented that with a lychee soda. Very nice. The noise was loud, but that's to be expected in a millennial place. Definitely going back, some day soon.

This is a great bohemian type cafe next to one of the canals in Utrecht. It feels like Baked and…read moreWired, but in a bigger space. I was casing out places to eat and this place was crowded so I strolled around the area and circled back until it was less crowded. It's pretty much straight forward. You enter and order at the cashier and pay then sit down in one of the areas. I ended up table hopping while I was waiting for my coffee and vegan sateh sandwich. If you have a good seat near the window, it's a good place to people watch! Anyway, the coffee was excellent and the vegan sandwich was flavorful. This is a mixed use space as they sell independent vinyl records. Cool place and cool vibe!

What a nice little Café in an area of Utrecht that recently became popular for its…read morefresh-organic-everything selfmade-food scene. The guys running the Café now how to make good quality coffee. We chose a filter coffee for two people which was served in a big glas pot. Usually I am not a big fan of fruity coffee but I was surprised by the aroma of this coffee bean. Taking some chairs outside and sitting on the sidewalk was not a problem at all. I can really see why this Café is so popular and always crowded. But whatch out, payment is with pin only!

I got myself a cappuccino (medium size) and 2 cute and delicious chocolate chip cookies with it. And it cost me only 3 euro. I mean, I pay 3,20 for a cappuccino in Amsterdam, and that is without a cookie. The hipster-ness is very present, but I like the concept, the coffee, and the cookie. KoekJEEEEES!!!

Sadly my "good coffee" place just up the road shut down this year and I have yet to find a place…read morethat has great coffee and a great ambiance. This coffee company certainly has the latter, it's one of my favourite places to have an office day or just sit and drink coffee with friends. Coffee is not the best coffee, if I'm in a serious coffee drinking mood I'll go to Brandmeester's but it's still nice coffee. Usually I end up here when I want flavoured coffee that still actually tastes like coffee (strong side eye pointed at Starbucks..) but mostly I just like the ease of buying a "strippenkaart". I usually get a red card which I think is about 25,50 euros for thirty credits. Small coffee is 3, medium is 4 and large is 5 which you can then customise to your hearts desire; extra shots, different kind of milk, it all falls under the same amount of credits, so really much cheaper if your an extra this kind of person or can't have cow's milk. Now this bit is true for all coffee companies, which makes them greatly convenient wherever you're visiting. My husband uses his card in Den Haag in front of his office building and I use mine here or on the Nachtegaalstraat because why would you waste your time on shitty office coffee? So back to this coffee company. They have a good amount of comfy chairs and couches to sit and relax and a nice large table where you'll mostly find the working crowd. I enjoy both options and it's always nice to have a decent loo nearby when working and drinking coffee. p.s. the red velvet cake and turtle brownies really don't hurt either..
