The owner told us it started out as a Web shop and since they experienced a rapid growth they opened this place. The selections they have are impressive. Prices are very reasonable. We paid €1,- for a cup of tea is and €3,- for a panini with your choice of toppings. The atmosphere is nice. There is much to look at. The service is nice and very friendly. We took some Lady Grey tea with us as we had tasted and liked it; price was €2,25 for a small bag of 50 grams.

We walked around the market are and stumbled across this place and I am glad we did. Menu looked good but I realized I have not had an official pancake over my two days in Netherlands...that streak officially ended. I ordered a ham and cheese pancake and it was delicious! Very big but I took it down as I couldn't stop eating it due to how tasty it was...the powdered sugar and thick syrup (Schenkstroop) added to how great this thing was. I was able to wash it down with a Golden Draak 9000 Quadruple bier. This was an awesome bon voyage lunch! Service was great as the young man serving us was cool about giving me all their different bier options...very nice kid. Really liked this place and would come back next time in Gouda

It was so good, loved the combination of ingredients. The nuts and the cheese and the veggies and the hummus.. YUM! My mum ordered a tortilla. While I haven't tasted it, she told me it was really good and it looked like a sure treat! Good prices, outdoor seating in the sunshine, overlooking the market square of Gouda. Yes. Most def a swell place to lunch!

A server came up to us but refused to take our order, and at one point told me there was no food and drink in the restaurant. He seemed extremely distressed by our presence. Another server came over to clear up the confusion; I was hoping maybe to take an order (at that point we'd been there a while) but she said she'd be back later. It was quite an odd experience to be told you can't order, there's no food, etc., in a full cafe. We took the hint and left.

Inside hangs a black and white photograph wall of their staff and their food! You're getting real value for your meal, I was here for two days in city center and walk past all of the establishments. With cafe central on the block, I'm glad we discovered this place instead. Plus, their staff seems to really care about the impression of their cafe. The menu is in English and explains the extra considerations the thought about for customers "ie. Do you have an allergy? Please tell us." Our meal: sandwiches (the main focus of their food) range around 6-8 euros. The dressings they pair with our sandwiches was simply delicious. For future weekend getaways in Gouda? You can expect me to come back :).

The staff were all extremely friendly and attentive, especially with how busy it was. The patio also offered a great view of the center and a perfect people-watching spot. We shared their nachos, loaded fries, and gouda soup. I hate to say it, but everything we ordered was subpar and pretty disappointing. That said, I wouldn't recommend it and we probably wouldn't return for anything other than drinks if we were to go back.
