While visiting Groningen on a Wednesday, we walked into the place expecting a good cup of coffee…read more What we got was a pour-over, liquid cup of Columbian gold served in a small glass pitcher on a tray with two cups, served by the friendly owner of the store, Gerben. The atmosphere was very relaxed, due to the semi-strict no-laptop policy maintained mostly on the weekends. "You don't need wifi to enjoy a good cup of coffee," is found on the menu and shows the effort that is made to keep the place open to those who come for the coffee, not to those who work on a laptop while thoughtlessly pouring liquid productivity down their throats. It's basically to keep the place from turning into Starbucks. All things considered, as soon as I come back to Groningen, I will visit this place again as I know that both the coffee and the atmosphere will be excellent, and that's all I need.

Perhaps this is due to it being cold outside already in October but it feels uncomfortable at first and then you just get used to it. They could use more air flow inside. I don't know how the staff can handle it. The beer selection is pretty great. The beers are all listed on the menu, from draft to bottled. I went with a friend who knew what to recommend. They have a house beer on tap too. The selection is especially good if there's a Belgian beer you've been meaning to try. I had beers here that I never heard of before. They have other drinks in case you don't want/like beer. They also have shots. The first time I came in, it was quite busy in the evening so we sat at a high top table by the bathroom. The second time was earlier on a Saturday evening so we sat at a table.

Our server was sweet and friendly but had a tendency to bang your stuff down on the table. My tap water came in a filthy cup with floaty bits. Dutch standards? Add to this a really shitty flat white served in a soda glass ?!?!?! + a piece of chocolate tart that was more granulated sugar than chocolate for €3,50? The only upside was the loose leaf earl grey.
