Yea! Yea! Veg, yea!…read more Great vegetarian and vegan food in the middle of cute Utrecht? Check! Loaded with ambiance and fun people surrounding you? Check! Reasonable prices and interesting drinks? Check! I had the delicious Moroccan soup with lentils and 2 pieces of bread, complemented that with a lychee soda. Very nice. The noise was loud, but that's to be expected in a millennial place. Definitely going back, some day soon.

The cafe is quite big and also has a terrace in front of it. There are a lot of seats and tables but still they could be all taken if you come here during the weekend because it's such a popular place. You can come here for coffee with pastries, lunch with sandwiches/salads and a fresh juice or drinks and snacks. I tried a cheese cake with berry rose sauce and beetroot nut cake and they were both delicious. The coffee is also nice. The interior is lovely. Lots of plants and cute decoration and the whole place just has this super chill vibe. The staff is friendly and the prices are good. This is my new favorite place in Utrecht!

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!

I just found out about a "High tea" scene in Utrecht that I didn't even know existed - with…read moreBakkerswinker at the heart. It's an old bakery that has been around for almost 300 years. They have a bakery counter if you need things to take away. The dining room is located mostly in the cozy kelder that has windows looking out to a gracht that's adjacent. A group of five came hungry, and we chose high tea, since it's closest thing to brunch you can find. There are several different high tea options on the menu with focus on sweet, savory, or everything ranging from €20-30. There is also a good selection of a la carte items for €5-10. We were overwhelmed with an attack of food and tea. The food started with a scone, jam, and clotted cream course served with two giant pots of tea. Then we continued along (see my picture) and were served a tower of two plates of small sandwiches (five different varieties), bowls of soup, various kinds of quiche, and a plate of sweets, chocolates, and tartes. Two more pots of tea showed up with the main course and they brought one more at the end as a palate cleanser. Five pots of tea total. Don't miss the Lapsang tea. Impressive - fresh food made from scratch and fun staff with good service. Casual atmosphere. See you there for high tea sometime!

Also: polarbröd! What a delightful and delicious flatbread, just one word for it: yum! Now seriously, they have some interesting sandwiches here which are mostly going to be much hartier than any other sandwich you'll find around here. The Dutch still have not figured out the sandwich game! Shame. However at Broodnodig, with their Scandinavian vibe, they seem to be present and in the sandwich race. They're thinking outside the slice and offering meals piled on to a sandwich yet not in such portions that you feel intimidated and fear you'll never be able to finish it. However I did need help finishing my sweet potato and hummus get up last time while le husband had no problem finishing his barbecue chicken deal and the rest of my sandwich. Drinks are also sometimes quirky and comforting like orange or mint hot chocolate in winter and oj&buttermilk (as one drink!) in summer. I just really like coming here to be surprised by their menu, delighted by the amount of vegetarian options and cheered up by the sometimes random conversations by the staff that you can butt in on. We've discussed everything from "why does this sandwich not come on spelt anyway? It's much better" to "what is this song stuck in my head?". Answer to the latter, it was Smoke on the Water. So, you feel like a decent lunch? Hearty, delicious and not even really unhealthy? Or maybe the opposite: pastries galore? COFFEE!!!! ? Give Broodnodig a try, you're bound to love it!

For breakfast, I had the triple omega - which was a thicker piece of toast, with avocado, a generous portion of salmon, two poached eggs and hollandaise. We will absolutely be back!

Blackbird is situated in quite a small space but has lots to offer. Not only they brew good coffee but also sell art, 60-70s style furniture, t-shirts and vintage bicycles. It is one of the first espresso bars in Utrecht combining the possibility of drinking coffee with shopping. Blackbird uses Koffieslab beans which are nice but sometimes have a sour note (don't kill the messenger, it's a personal preference). Apart from coffee Blackbird has a small menu with breakfast, dessert and refreshing drinks options. Baked goodies are made from biological products and are quite ok, but unfortunately very inconsistent and definitely not the best in town. Overall, Blackbird is a nice place for a cup of coffee and definitely a noticeable stop in search for interesting vintage items.
