    Yes! KEEK! YES!!!!…read more KEEK brings the happy like you wouldn't believe! I am definitely in love with their cheese "scone" sandwich filled with seasonal grilled vegetables and pesto, yum. By no means is it a scone my friends, but it makes one hell of a delicious sandwich! Le husband had a regular sandwich with grilled Serrano ham, mozzarella and pesto with a cup of jasmine tea and I that wonderful grilled vegetable sandwich with a glass of hot chocolate. First of all, KEEK is an organic eatery but not just any organic eatery; one that truly cares about amazing quality in their products. Their tea is top notch and their hot chocolate (which I suspect they make themselves before service) is seriously the best pre-made hot chocolate I have ever had. So good! The next thing they do to ensure they have the best product is make everything from scratch in their own kitchen. Everything. Well, besides the bread for the sandwiches, they order those daily at another favourite of mine: de Veldkeuken. Can't blame them, I wouldn't want to stay up all night just for one menu item either and Veldkeuken is really good at baking bread. Back to KEEK. About a minute's walk from this location, you have Keuken van KEEK where you can get some simpler sandwiches and all of their baked goods to go. Yum, RUN! You won't be able to get the grilled vegetable sandwich from the to-go location which is a shame, but make sure you try it. So garlicky, so sweet, so delicious! I will probably have "adult dreams" about this sandwich for the next few weeks... Sorry, tmi. As for the vibe here, the interior is really nice, especially the "tea room" in the back which is so serene and full of light. Great for a happy afternoon catching up with friends. The front room is a bit more artsy and that shows in the crowd. I tend to ignore the people around me if the food is good enough to focus on, but le husband felt a bit out of place with some of the other customers which were: hippies, old people and loudly conversing women. Of which the first two were the most bothersome, I agreed on that but like I said, if the food is great, I don't give a shit who else is there. You could have probably placed my in-laws at the table behind me and I would have never noticed. So KEEK. I highly recommend it and I will definitely be back asap!

    What a cute café in one of the oldest shopping streets in Utrecht. The rooms used to be a tailor…read moreshop run by the grandmother of Maria who is now the owner of Kunst en Eerliijke Koffie. Thus not only the street but also the café is full of history. Although the athmosphere is not that stunning, the menue definately is. Selfmade cheese scones, fresh tea and a great combination of sandwich ingredients. The scone made me super full and it is definately a full meal. The coffee was good, too. I really enjoyed my breakfast and the friendly stuff who made my stay a great experience.

    Good to work with their company.This review is only for the restaurant, not the hotel/pool…read more As long as I can remember, my grandparents would always take us here when we visited and when we moved to the Netherlands we went for special occasions. I really do have very fond memories of the place, but the place no longer lives up to those memories. We still come here quite often with my Nan because she loves to keep up the tradition and we are all addicted to the potatoes that you get with your meal. Aside from the potatoes, which have remained awesome throughout the years, the food isn't super interesting. It's a great place to take your grandparents as that is pretty much the crowd here; old people. So a lot on the menu is old people friendly, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it does mean a lot of fish, a lot of meat and not so many vegetarian options. That last part tends to suck because I like to pretend that I'm not there just to eat the potatoes and try to have somewhat of a balanced meal, you know, like a good girl. Also, I have my doubts that the mushroom soup they serve is really vegetarian. It tastes like some sort of meat stock to me, so I'm never going to try it again even though they assure me it's suitable for vegetarians. And I'm fairly certain that most desserts, especially with the brunch buffet and petit grand desserts, contain gelatin from animal bones, not agar agar or another substitution. So that can be tricky too. Other than all that, if you eat meat or fish, this is an okay place to come. I've always liked the interior, especially in the upstairs dining room with all the paintings of bulls on the walls. And, it's just sheer nostalgia for me.
