I definitely recommend Café Hooghoudt as a place to go for a dinner or simply for a coffee. I have…read morebeen there couple of times and always enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Last time I have ordered a delicious goat cheese salad. As for a dessert part, I am in love with their brownie!

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.

I've been here twice now and the first thing you notice when you walk in is how incredibly stuffy…read moreit is. Perhaps this is due to it being cold outside already in October but it feels uncomfortable at first and then you just get used to it. They could use more air flow inside. I don't know how the staff can handle it. The beer selection is pretty great. The beers are all listed on the menu, from draft to bottled. I went with a friend who knew what to recommend. They have a house beer on tap too. The selection is especially good if there's a Belgian beer you've been meaning to try. I had beers here that I never heard of before. They have other drinks in case you don't want/like beer. They also have shots. The first time I came in, it was quite busy in the evening so we sat at a high top table by the bathroom. The second time was earlier on a Saturday evening so we sat at a table.
