While visiting Groningen on a Wednesday, we walked into the place expecting a good cup of coffee…read more What we got was a pour-over, liquid cup of Columbian gold served in a small glass pitcher on a tray with two cups, served by the friendly owner of the store, Gerben. The atmosphere was very relaxed, due to the semi-strict no-laptop policy maintained mostly on the weekends. "You don't need wifi to enjoy a good cup of coffee," is found on the menu and shows the effort that is made to keep the place open to those who come for the coffee, not to those who work on a laptop while thoughtlessly pouring liquid productivity down their throats. It's basically to keep the place from turning into Starbucks. All things considered, as soon as I come back to Groningen, I will visit this place again as I know that both the coffee and the atmosphere will be excellent, and that's all I need.

The Location itself is somewhat hidden, but if you stop near the Watersportcentrum, you'll spot the signs. There is a terrace on the harbour and a small restaurant upstairs. The restaurant features a cosy, rural interior, just on the border between rural and trendy. There are only four tables sitting 4-6 each. The menu is small, too, but contain quite a good choice of different dishes: Burger, Ribs, Soup, Salad, Fish (mussels) We had the XXL Burger, Mussels, a Cesar Salad and a spicy tomato soup - all fresh made and tasting really great. During daytime, there is a small menu of smaller dishes (pancakes, toasts, soups, frikandel, etc.) for the terrace. The price level is not the lowest. Main courses range from 15 to 25 EUR. But from my point of view is the money well spend!

All the stars for the location, which has a decent 'end of the world' feel to it. We stopped over…read morefor an apple pie and some tea here while cycling around the island. While nice in the suroundings and definetely serving decent apple pie (the whipped cream is especially good here), its nothing out of the ordinary. They did make me pay for an extra tea after I mistakenly (my mistake sure, but still..) tipped it over. Neverthless, if you happen to be close by, its worth a visit (mostly by lack of alternatives.)

(Many towns have them, so I'm not quite sure if it's a chain, or just a beloved Dutch institution, in the manner that American cities need drive-up diners.) So, as the name would suggest, it's literally a large historic boat, still in the water, that's been converted into a restaurant that sells pancakes. These aren't pancakes in the manner that Americans think of them. To us, they'd be more akin to crepes. They come in every manner of savory and sweet. The staff was happy to accommodate my request to enjoy a veggie crepe. The size of the crepe was huge! In a break with the norm for dining in the Netherlands, the staff didn't look at me as though I was insane for requesting the left-overs to-go. (A disgusting habit in the eyes of most Europeans...) In fact they even had pre-made to-go boxes. 'T Pannekoekschip has a children's play area, which is a nice touch for families dining here.
