Blackbird is perfectly located on beautiful Oudegracht in the centre of Utrecht and is selling…read moregreat coffee and vintage items. Blackbird is situated in quite a small space but has lots to offer. Not only they brew good coffee but also sell art, 60-70s style furniture, t-shirts and vintage bicycles. It is one of the first espresso bars in Utrecht combining the possibility of drinking coffee with shopping. Blackbird uses Koffieslab beans which are nice but sometimes have a sour note (don't kill the messenger, it's a personal preference). Apart from coffee Blackbird has a small menu with breakfast, dessert and refreshing drinks options. Baked goodies are made from biological products and are quite ok, but unfortunately very inconsistent and definitely not the best in town. Overall, Blackbird is a nice place for a cup of coffee and definitely a noticeable stop in search for interesting vintage items.

The staff is very friendly, attentive and accommodating. The restaurant is in the perfect location from the Fletcher hotel, but I would make the trip regardless of my stay just for the food and inviting environment. The menu offers plenty to choose from, and everything is absolutely delectable. The beers are cold and the wines always pleasant. As the surrounding area develops, I eagerly anticipate them remaining open on the weekends. For now, I enjoy them regularly during the week and Friday nights. Thanks Johan for the delectable meals and refreshments, I simply love your Grand Cafe ZO!

It's not as busy in the evenings, or it wasn't when we were out. I will attach pictures of our delightful lunches. My huge board of food (soup, salad, bread with croquette, bread with ham cheese and egg) as 9.50 and my husbands 3 eggs, ham and cheese was 8.50. Great deal. Not gourmet- but it will fill you up. It was too much bread for me, so I just ate everything else, and the bread was sort of flabby- I would have preferred it toasted.

I liked this place for a few reasons. First, at first glance it looks a bit like an Irish pub on…read morethe inside. Second, they have a dance floor area in the back which plays mostly 80's. The staff were lovely and the beers were not expensive. They don't seem to open early in the week but if you are around on the weekend pop in for a pint sure as if you are in Waalwijk it's well worth checking out.

Nice place, loads of space to leave your bike outside, in the middle of the centre, hence also shopping area. As for the cafe itself, there's a nice relaxed atmosphere. Mixing some old materials, nice touch. Coffee is good, some cakes also (only tried to cookie, but the rest looks great). They also offer sanwdiches, nibbles, wine, etc... As for the service: efficient and friendly.
