The in - town location as well as the decor gave it a wonderfully quaint feel. The service was excellent and the prices were reasonable (in a European context). It was rather busy in this diminutive establishment when we visited but we were able to find a spot for the three of us. Our server attended to us quickly and did a great job taking care of us. She checked up on us at adequate intervals without being intrusive. The menu offered many tempting options from which to choose. My colleagues went for the Specialty Bakery Salad and the Pasta Carbonara. But I am a breakfast fiend and I had not had eggs for breakfast that day. As such, I opted for the Salmon Omelet with brie, mushrooms and onions. There were large strips of brie embedded, which seemed quite unusual. It was terrific and I would recommend it if you try this place. Our meals were capped with excellent coffee. Overall, I greatly enjoyed my experience in this delightful little shop. If you are in central Bergen op Zoom, it is definitely worth a try.

The rosemary and sea salt bread with salmon, mushrooms and onions was so well grilled, soft, tasty and juicy. The salads are well composed from various ingredients and enjoyable.

We were there for a late lunchtime and were impressed by the size of the portions. Nice staff and cozy deco - you can see that people are committed to their business. Thumbs up!

I had the chicken and hummus "toast" which is thick-cut, fresh bread lightly toasted and piled high with fresh grilled chicken, hummus, salad, pickled veg (which I swapped for seasonal veg). My husband had the roast beef toast with similar ingredients save for the meat. It was tasty but required deconstructing and eating with knife and fork ... and I kept getting distracted by the quinoa salads topped with goat's cheese that came out and looked yummy (and were most popular). There was also a quinoa base quiche that looked lovely and sold out fast. Service was friendly but took some time (just down to being busy not necessarily inefficiency or lack of trying). Good selection of local beers and Belgium based juices and teas, and wine and cocktails too. Focus on local, healthier options including alternatives to meat and grains, and on the more expensive side as these types of cafes tend to be: our bill was €38 for two sandwiches, a soup of the day, a beer and a juice

They can also accommodate other allergies for special orders (breads, cakes, etc.). In the past I got a lemon meringue pie to bring to a party and today had a slice of lemon cake. Both were excellent - cake is moist and in my opinion gives no indication of being gluten free. Breads also have a nice texture not found in your typical packaged GF breads. There are also a couple of shelves of packaged gluten free items for sale such as pasta, flour, cookies, etc. Definitely recommend stopping by!!

Then, there are few places that serve excellent and near-perfect edible arts. These places don't need anything else but their products to attract foodies. Loft Der Zoetheid definitely falls into this category. I personally haven't been treated poorly like a few reviewers pointed out. In fact, I've always experienced excellent services here. The owner even gave us complimentary raspberry/strawberry prosecco the last 2 times dined there. Regardless, the reason I gave this place a perfect score is because they do have great dishes. AND they have the best high-tea out of all the places I've visited around the globe. And.... I do travel. This is a must-visit and must-reserved place for high tea if you've never been here and if you love high-teas. Everything is homemade and delicious. However, if customer service is what you're looking for, Loft der Zoetheid may not be the right fit for you. P.S. I have rated some places low based on poor customer service but their dishes weren't good enough to make up for their poor service. :-)

Our server was a touch cold and aloof but it was ok because they provide you with a paper menu that you can check off what items you want. This is a fantastic concept and I really wish more places did this. Two of us ordered the bagel with hummus, zucchini, feta, olives, tomato, and cilantro. This was not only nice on the eyes, but it was delicious and packed with tons of veggies and healthy shit. I could not have had a better breakfast. GF ordered the omelette with toast and she liked it but it brought up that dilemma that's as old as time regarding whether or not she likes eggs. If you do, in fact, like eggs, this is probably a safe choice. The last in our party ordered the granola bowl with nuts, seeds, fresh fruit, and yogurt. This person is very hard to please but I do remember her being pleased by this dish. They also have a million other things like pancakes, waffles (duh), sandwiches, salads, a dish of the day, a pie of the day, and a bunch of yummy drinks. The environment is SO cozy and a great place to spend some time enjoying good food and a book.
