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.

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

The cinnamon bun as a bit hard, maybe that's normal (compared to soft and doughy in the states), i liked that it wasn't too sweet. Service was fast and friendly.

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.

We settled ourselves on the Chesterfield in the back, as my little girls were entertained by the kids' bikes on site. The coffees were costumizable (I had a Latte+Chocolate) and my friend dared to consume a Biker's Juice (it looked like blended seaweed and tasted superhealthy, meaning the taste is indiscribable (therefore it must be healthy)). Assorted costumers; accomplished businesspeople aswell as happy hipsters. Friendly service. Sadly it wasn't until our way out that I noticed there. Was. Cake... And it looked mouthwatering... So we will be taking this alternative route more often; to taste all different cake-variations AND soak up the relaxed atmosphere!

If you ever find yourself in The Hague for business or pleasure, this restaurant is absolute…read moreperfection. I am not joking when I say that I want to fly back to the Netherlands purely to eat here again someday. We were looking for a place to eat that was within walking distance of The Hague Marriott. When another restaurant on the same street was all booked up for the evening, we found The Old Jazz. It was still before 1900 and not crowded. (However, every table was filled by the time we departed.) I am so thankful that the other restaurant was full, as this was a meal I will remember for years to come. I started with the salmon and tuna sashimi and my friend chose a crispy pita with bell pepper aioli. The fish was so fresh that I felt like I was back in Hawai'i enjoying a freshly-caught meal on the water's edge. My friend--notorious for being a very picky eater and never eating sushi--even tried the sashimi and ate a whole piece of tuna. The dish also featured wakame, a homemade kimchi-like veggie blend, sprouts, rice puffs, ginger, and wasabi (and not the packaged kind). My friend was thrilled with the pita. We also enjoyed some cocktails as starters. I really liked my elderflower spritzer to begin the meal. Although everything sounded delicious as a main course, I opted for the truffle rigatoni with the lobster. You know those dishes where you involuntarily close your eyes with every bite because it's so good that it almost overwhelms your senses? The balance of the dish was perfect: salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami were all represented in harmony. If it wouldn't have been poor form, I likely would have licked the dish clean to savor every last note of flavor. Our waiter had also suggested a lovely glass of wine to go with the dish, and the recommendation was perfect. We absolutely had to order dessert to end the meal, opting for the moelleux au chocolate with a white chocolate crumble, vanilla mousse, and what was described as a "pure chocolate" ice cream. Again, this final dish was heavenly, and I wanted to pack the chef in my suitcase so I could enjoy this incredible experience again. Throughout the meal, the service was sublime. Every recommendation from our waiter was perfect, from the wine pairings to dishes that might interest us. I am immensely grateful that we stumbled upon The Old Jazz. Someday, I will find a way to return to The Hague, perhaps just so I can dine here again!
