While it is actually a wine bar, we went there for brunch since they also offer muffins, coffee,…read moreand some sandwiches. Nice and simple place, the staff is welcoming and what we ate was good (well I just had a muffin :D but the sandwiches looked good). Of course I don't know what it's worth as a wine bar...

This is a very nice Hema in Utrecht. In the centrum right on the canal. It has two floors with…read moreescalators but not cramped at all. Most Hema's are large and very open space but this one takes it a step further. Doors in the front and back are a nice feature as well...plus with better ventilation. Hot food and drinks. Lots of wine and beer (to go) too! What's not to like. They had every kind of stroopwafel I didn't even know existed! Lots of candies and cakes too. Lekker! They do have everything from bike parts to socks as well. Of course things are a bit different during Corona times, but let's hope Hema keeps these big stores in expensive areas open. Worth checking out when you're right in the center and a 10 minute walk from the train station (through the mall).
