Nice place, loads of space to leave your bike outside, in the middle of the centre, hence also shopping area. As for the cafe itself, there's a nice relaxed atmosphere. Mixing some old materials, nice touch. Coffee is good, some cakes also (only tried to cookie, but the rest looks great). They also offer sanwdiches, nibbles, wine, etc... As for the service: efficient and friendly.

It is hard to put into words what I liked so much about this little neighborhood spot. I think it…read morewas the fact that it felt like I was going over to a friend's house for dinner. The fact that it was small and cozy created an intimate atmosphere. The lighting added to the intimacy making it a warm, serene refuge on a cold night. Being waited on by one of the two friendly people working the small dining area added to the aura. It made the experience more personalized, like we just walked into his house and he asked what he could get us from his kitchen to eat. "Come in, sit down for a while, warm up and let me get you something to eat and drink". It was as though the people there were having a relaxed, pleasant evening together and we were invited to join. The location also had something to do with the appeal as well. This was our first visit to city centre Delft. The narrow streets that lined canals replete with strategic lighting made this brick-laden city an absolute delight to wander. As an American, this place presented an ambiance unlike what we'd see at home. It was a step back in time in time and a step into everyday Dutch life. This somewhat off-the-radar city offers the type of character that you hope to experience as part of your travels. We visited at around 8 PM on a Monday. It was not at all busy and we were able to find a seat with no problem. The ambiance, as suggested above, was very inviting and quite relaxed. The menu for this restaurant was short but featured several creative choices with local twists (in different ways). My wife chose the Goat Cheese Salad, which featured a plentiful serving with nice greens along with other vegetables and nice add-ins such as pecans. I opted for the Indonesian-inspired Chicken Satay, which was served with fries and salad. Again, the serving was more than enough. We both were very happy with our dinners. My wife enjoyed a homemade lemonade to drink while I was quite satisfied with one of their red wines (Corte Ortone Brindisi). The final bill was €57.50, or €28.75 per person. Given the quality of the food and the overall experience, I thought this was a reasonable value. I would definitely try this place again if we return to Delft.

There was plenty of seating near big windows and they even had some games available for patrons to play. Hubby and I knocked out a round of dominoes while we waited for our cupcake. This reminds of a smaller, slightly less frilly version of Cake Bake in Indianapolis. Floral walls covered in spring blossoms just make it a happy girly place to go get your sugar rush. Also, though they offer iced tea, which is a rarity in Europe, and I was able to get one to go, they did not tell me it was sweetened, and I hate sugar in my tea. Oh well. Still had a delightful experience here, with the sweet staff. And the loos were so cute- blue for boys and pink for girls.

We were very full in the end and took the leftovers home. Overall, we enjoyed the high tea experience here.

The beer and wine place is closed (I guess I can't start my vacation here at 10am!) but the coffee shop is open. I've accidentally found what I had been searching for in my area for a bit -- a relatively quiet, but still bustling coffee shop intended for you to sit and relax -- or work without feeling like you are hindering the place's business. I will surely bring my laptop back and work here in the future. But I'm still on a time crunch and coffee shops can be quite slow, so I'm nervous. I sit by the train board they have in the coffee shop and order quickly. My toasti and cappuccino came with in 5 minutes (I was timing ha!). The tosti hit the spot -- but by no means over the top or gourmet - exactly what I was hoping for before heading to the airport. I'm really happy to have found this place!

Oh well, better late than never :P With the recent renovation of the Central Station the 'stationsHuiskamer' was opened for people to meet up after traveling, do some work or just enjoy a good coffee, tea or lunch. A similar location was also opened at Rotterdam Central. I visited the 'stationsHuiskamer' for the first time, last week, and was really surprised by it's nice vibe, relaxed entourage and comfortable seats and tables to work at. Besides good coffee they also offer free WiFi and power plugs all over. It's spacious and the view inside the station is pretty cool. So I'm very happy with this place and will be using it as my favorite (co)working location when I will be visiting The Hague again.
