Lucky for us we do have one in our city. Our B&B is located in the city centre at the Koorstraat 29 in Alkmaar. They served different kind of Bagels from wheat to brown grain. It is a mix and match restaurant where you can mix the bagels with any kind of spreads according to your taste.

What is not to like about Bagels and Beans…read more.. When living in Utrecht we had one close to our house and also in our current home town of Haarlem, we have one in the city. They have nice coffees and whenever you are a bit hungry, they have amazing bagles! Also their fresh mint tea is very good! The breakfasts at these Bagels & Beans places are very nice also. Can really recommend the breakfast number 2 :)

They serve a variety of breakfast options, pastries, smoothies, coffee, and tea. We stopped for a quick bite and tried their scrambled eggs and bacon, açaí bowl, and chai tea latte. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. I think dogs might only be allowed outside, but it was sprinkling when we got there, and they let us eat inside with our dog. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you're in the area!
