A very lovely place. Linked to the artisanal cigar workshop next door, this is a place that has…read morebeen providing this town with fine coffee, tea, tobacco,... for a very long time. So they sell and serve quality, and all of that in a cozy setting. Even if you don't have time for a drink, just pop in to have a look.

The owner, I believe, has visited our city and I'm pretty certain this place brings tradition (nearly) full circle back to Europe, bringing with it the contemporary advancements in coffee-sourcing, roasting, machinery, and barista mastery. These places have become the beating heart of the community, providing a meeting place and a venue to feature local artists and craftsmen. Of course, do not forget tea, cigars (next door) and other treasures. Besides coming here whenever I can find an excuse, it's a perfect place to find gifts to bring back home.

A fine option for dining in the very touristic Giethoorn. The highlight of our time here was not…read morethe food or the ambiance, but the watching of boats slamming into each other in the water and unable to steer through the overcrowded canalways. Reader, Giethoorn in the summer months is hot mess nightmare that I would actually recommend skipping. As for this eatery, the outdoor seating is nice and if you have to kill three hours before your tour departs back to Amsterdam, this is a good place to do it since everything takes forever. My burger was just okay - really mealy bun and served with a strange corn salad, but the fries were (shocker!) quite good. Most of the fries I had on this vaca were good, though. The Netherlands knows how to fry a potato. Anyways it's also unclear if you should order via QR code or wait for one of the children who works here to come serve you. No one will come up to you or give you a menu or explain anything so I recommend just sort of giving in to the whole experience. You will pay double for the pleasure! Enjoy (or skip).

The staff was friendly and the lunch was just what we needed; a good portion of delicious pastrami on fresh bread. Since our experience was so positive we came back the next day for dinner. No regrets there, as the food was great this time as well! I went with a 'Bank Special' (steak tartare - often hit or miss) and a hit it was... I highly recommend this place if you are in the area. I will definitely come back if ever in Harderwijk again!
