Great small cafe at the main shopping square in Hoofddorp. They put some tables outside so you can…read moresit in the sun when the weather allows it. They have a great selection of different types of cafe latte, but they also have a basic, well known selection - such as espresso and cappuccino. The coffee has a great taste and the cafe has a nice and fresh decor. You can also have a lunch there as they have a selection of sandwiches and cakes. I just have one negative comment - prices are a bit on a high side, at least for coffee..

Nice coffee place close by the big shopping center in Hoofddorp…read more Decided to try something more exotic here and was not disappointed! It was the Barista's choice which changes every month. This month it was a latte with maple syrup on top and pieces of hazelnut. Next to the large glass for the latte, I also received a small plate with whipped cream :) On this whipped cream, they again had poured some sweet maple syryup. All in all, can recommend the coffee here, and especially such kind of specials :) The only thing is that you should avoid getting such a special just before dinner/lunch time, as you will not be hungry afterwards :)

When I took a random trip to the mall this place was located in, I was delighted to see their name and menu! I ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese. Both the cream cheese and bagel was fluffy and delicious! The bagel was perfectly toasted it wasn't burnt or under roasted at all. This is located in a mall so it can be quite loud if you sit in the outside area, but they do have an indoor seating area. The staff were quite friendly and attentive. The apple juice I ordered was also delicious! Would come back here again if I was in the area!

I love bread... I…read morelove it to the point that I want to take a massive lovesak sized loaf, create an opening through the crispy yet delicate crust, and have my body be engulfed in warm spongy bread innards as I lay in fetal position sucking my thumb. However, my love for bread has cursed me until the end of time. The magic of yeast has turned my tongue into an overly critical bread monster lusting for loaves of baked dough delight. In my never ending quest for this age old staple, I decided to venture into a small Dutch village known as Hoofddorp to see if my carb cravings could be satisfied. My first stop is a little bakkerij called Gorthuis. I walked in during lunchtime and there was already a queue to the door! Good sign. There is nowhere to sit but you are definitely surrounded by temptation during your queue wait! Unfortunately, all the homemade cakes and marzipan evil resides next to the entrance forcing you to involuntarily drool. Rude! During my wait, I decided to take a box of tea cookies and help fatten the employees in my office. What are tea cookies you ask? Balls of marzipan with a crispy syrup crust around them. A more appropriate name should be sugar-bomb-of-yummy-death-"cookie". I digress. I decided to test this place by getting an old cheese sandwich with brown bread, a loaf of muesli-bread and homemade and supergezonde gevulde speculaas Sandwich: boring... as in limp bread that I could have gotten better at Albert Heijn... Muesli-bread: If there is something Dutch can do, it's stuff dough with kilos of berrys and nuts to the point where you aren't sure if you are eating bread or if someone punch your mouth with a fistful of raisins. This bread was definitely the highlight and I say the more fruity nuts, THE BETTER! Thumbs up here! Gevulde Speculaas - I mean... I'm not sure how you can go wrong with butter-marzipan squished between two gingerbread cookies. It's like a Dutch Christmas Oreo cookie gone horribly wrong in a good way! All in all, super nice service (non native Dutchies will need to practice your Dutch skills here), but nothing truly stands out as amAAAzing. My loafy lust was not satisfied here leaving my rising yeast addicted body hungry for more carbs. Three stars for a cute place, decent bread and nice peeps. Stay tuned for the next installment on my Hoofddorp bakkerij quest for the best!

So myself and a few others waited for a long time while the staff just looked at us. When I was finally sat the server seemed to care less. It was really weird. However, the person who actually brought me the food was so nice and friendly. The coffee comes with a macaron which was a happy surprise. It was absolutely delicious. The salad and wine I got were very good as well. If this restaurant were not in the airport I probably would not come back. But, since it is I am sure I will be back next time I fly in.

Coffee & Coconuts, seriously another amazing cafe that I visited during my trip in Amsterdam!…read more This cafe is hidden on the outside, but once you step inside, it is massively huge with three stories of dining tables. After waiting to be seated, our hostess guided us upstairs to the third floor, where they have several more dining tables and cozy couches that you can sit on while you enjoy your coffee. My parents, having visited this cafe before during their last trip to Amsterdam, raved about this place and suggested that I try their famous coconut coffee. All three of us ordered their coconut coffee, with my dad adding an espresso shot to his own so that he could stay awake for the rest of the night. Once I reached that first sip, OMG. SO DELICIOUS. How can I make my own coconut coffee back at home?! I loved it so much that I really want to make a copycat of it. The straws are also bendable, which really makes it handy if you need to lower your straw a bit. If I could, I would get on a plane to Amsterdam just to come back for their coconut coffee. That's how delicious it is! Local or tourist, I strongly suggest Coffee & Coconuts. You will not regret coming here at all!

Fantastic ambiance. Friendly service. Excellent food and drink options…read more Casual, trendy, comfy spot for just coffee or a full meal. - Coconut Coffee: A delicious iced drink, rich in coconut and strong coffee flavors. - Royal Apple Juice: Very refreshing blend of apple, carrot, ginger & lime juice. - Kimchi Toast: Good, filling.

Bathrooms are located on European first floor (for Americans, that's not the ground floor. It's equivalent to the 2nd floor).
