This is most definitely a hidden gem! I see a few people posted pictures of this here on Yelp but no one has reviewed it yet! That's why it does not really show up in the listings. Hmm ..should I even tell you guys about this place?? I don't want it to become to busy..
Well I'll tell you about it. And I'm doing you a favor because this place is pretty hidden.
You might have seen the Hotel Droog shop in the Staalstraat. All the cool design and art items? Yes, that awesome place. Well, not many people know there is more than a shop, there is even one real hotel room, that's why they are called hotel. And....there is a big café! It is so spacious, you would NEVER expect this here!! And it is beautiful. So stylish, big, comfortable and I felt so relaxed there. It is light and airy and nice.
The menu has various sandwiches (small ones, so you can try 2 different ones), salads, juices, teas, coffee, wines&beer, pastries, high tea. bites and platters.. Today they even had an extra special menu with Scandinavian licorice (latte with licorice syrup, and even licorice powder on top of their sandwiches!).
I ordered 2 sandwiches myself and also tried bites from my boyfriend's sandwiches, so I tested 4 haha. I tasted the mackerel, smoked chicken, hummus with veggies and the Ossenworst with licorice powder. All were really good! The amount might not look very big and filling, but the bread is very heavy so it is perfect! The licorice coffee was also nice and I also tried a green juice with fennel and cucumber.
It was all lovely. This was such a nice find, I am going to come back often! read more
