I'm not the ice cream freak in the family, although I do enjoy it now and then. While we were in…read moreHolland my son happened to come across this lovely corner spot and stopped in for some of their famous vanilla bean ice cream. He said it was the best he ever tasted in his life!!!! And yes indeed... it was FABulous!!!! Needless to say, we all now wish we didn't have to fly 8 hours to get back there again. Yum, Yum, YUMMY!!!!

I love places that do one thing, and do it really well. Ljssalon W Laan is one of those places…read more They make vanilla ice cream, and yes you can get it as a sunday, with an assortment of toppings and in shakes, but it's all about the vanilla ice cream. How can an ice-cream shop that only sells vanilla ice cream stay in business? It's that freaking good, and they have been doing it for over 60 years. My wife and I split a small cup, and if we were not going to a party afterwards we would have bought a couple pints to take home.... Can't wait to go back.

Ask for the "kiddie" size. It's just 1,50 and it's plenty, including all the usual toppings.read more

This place is basically the Chipotle of yoghurt, though without salmonella and no rush whatsoever…read more The concept is simple - take one of five types of yoghurt as your base (the thick 2% was awesome, add ingredients to your heart's content, and revel in the joy of a semi-healthy, incredibly good treat. The afternoon tea option is crazy cool - two unique yoghurt combos, two rolls, two desserts, and an unlimited cup of tea with their eight self-bag options. The tea options range from basic (Chinese Jasmine, Earl Grey) to quite unique (champagne tea, mon cheri). The option to self-bag at the table is quite fun - you can blend or try as many as you can get out of a big pot of hot water. Despite being a little bit chilly inside in winter, the restaurant is relaxed and a very nice ambiance. With comfy chairs around the back side, you might just take a nap after a nice treat. I should not fail to mention the staff who are exceptionally patient and kind, especially with newcomers to the concept. Much nicer than the somewhat less friendly staff at the crepe place across the street. Give it a shot!

I was so excited to come across Frozz. It was exactly what I needed for a snack and to break up the…read moreheat towards the end of Spring. This location of Frozz is located on a busy street in Centrum. There is always a crowd here and for good reason. The frozen yogurt is amazing! Much better than Red Mango or Pinkberry in the states. The yogurt tastes better, perhaps creamier. Maybe it is the milk from the Dutch cows. The formula is simple. Pick your cup size and toppings. I went with a regular plain yogurt with fruits (strawberries, lychee, and pineapple). The fruits were so fresh and juicy. If you don't want fruit, you can also top your yogurt with nuts, coconut, granola, etc. The overall effect is refreshing with a mix of textures.

The frozen yogurt is good but I prefer the new self serve places that have opened up around town…read more But this review is about the soup. Not sure when they converted it to soup in the winter but I just noticed it yesterday. So I stopped in for the small chili beef for 6 euros with rice noodles. The broth could have been slightly warmer and the veggies cut slightly smaller for easier eating but overall I give it 2 thumb up. A quick, cheap and satisfying meal that helps break up the falafel routine. I'm a fan.

Yoghurt Barn just took it to a new level! Not only do they sell their delicious signature yoghurts,…read morebut now they also have a cute assortment of "Barn store" products such as superfoods and slowtea in the cutest 'weck' jars. I already loved the fact that superfoods had been added as possible toppings for a delicious yoghurt or smoothie, but there are more additions to the menu: High tea, High choc, Barn breakfast, Barn brunch, Barn lunch, Barn bite and an assortment of delicious Barn snacks. All ranging from naughty cakes&biscuits to healthy sandwiches and dips. I know I can't wait to try everything so I keep coming back every Monday with le boyfriend to sit back, relax and have some down time before out busy weeks start up again. So, Yoghurt Barn, I already thought you were amazing, but now I think you're the best!

One of my favorite places in Utrecht. Besides froyo they also offer other kind of yoghurts, such as…read moreskinny yoghurt, farmers yoghurt and the typical Dutch 'hang op' (which is my favorite). They also have lactose free options such as soy and goat yoghurt. They serve Bocca coffee which is one of my favorite coffee brands. Also their chai is really good. Even if you're not into yoghurt it's still a nice place to hang out, study or work (there's wifi!) with a cup of coffee.
