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.

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.

First of all, the coffee here is really good. They have their own brand of coffee that they roast,…read moreand you can also buy bags of coffee beans to take home with you. Secondly, the selection of home-made pies/cakes is amazing. It was hard to make a choice, since they all looked so delicious. The only thing really stopping me from giving a 5 star review is the service. They were very nice, but there were a few instances where they just never came to ask us if we wanted anything. It wasn't even that busy, so I don't know why. Also, the one server misunderstood my friend several times, but that could be due to a difference in Dutch accents? I could understand both of them but apparently they couldn't understand each other as well. All in all, I would recommend this as a nice spot to grab a good cup of coffee and a piece of pie, but I wouldn't be in any kind of hurry......

She consulted the chef, and he created something off-menu just for me. It was absolutely delicious. There's also an espresso machine and a nice whiskey selection. ;)
