This cute new cafe in Utrecht is really something special. It's located just outside the city…read morecenter so the crowds don't really go there. Still it's not a far walk from the Oude Gracht. The cafe is quite big and also has a terrace in front of it. There are a lot of seats and tables but still they could be all taken if you come here during the weekend because it's such a popular place. You can come here for coffee with pastries, lunch with sandwiches/salads and a fresh juice or drinks and snacks. I tried a cheese cake with berry rose sauce and beetroot nut cake and they were both delicious. The coffee is also nice. The interior is lovely. Lots of plants and cute decoration and the whole place just has this super chill vibe. The staff is friendly and the prices are good. This is my new favorite place in Utrecht!

Yes! KEEK! YES!!!!…read more KEEK brings the happy like you wouldn't believe! I am definitely in love with their cheese "scone" sandwich filled with seasonal grilled vegetables and pesto, yum. By no means is it a scone my friends, but it makes one hell of a delicious sandwich! Le husband had a regular sandwich with grilled Serrano ham, mozzarella and pesto with a cup of jasmine tea and I that wonderful grilled vegetable sandwich with a glass of hot chocolate. First of all, KEEK is an organic eatery but not just any organic eatery; one that truly cares about amazing quality in their products. Their tea is top notch and their hot chocolate (which I suspect they make themselves before service) is seriously the best pre-made hot chocolate I have ever had. So good! The next thing they do to ensure they have the best product is make everything from scratch in their own kitchen. Everything. Well, besides the bread for the sandwiches, they order those daily at another favourite of mine: de Veldkeuken. Can't blame them, I wouldn't want to stay up all night just for one menu item either and Veldkeuken is really good at baking bread. Back to KEEK. About a minute's walk from this location, you have Keuken van KEEK where you can get some simpler sandwiches and all of their baked goods to go. Yum, RUN! You won't be able to get the grilled vegetable sandwich from the to-go location which is a shame, but make sure you try it. So garlicky, so sweet, so delicious! I will probably have "adult dreams" about this sandwich for the next few weeks... Sorry, tmi. As for the vibe here, the interior is really nice, especially the "tea room" in the back which is so serene and full of light. Great for a happy afternoon catching up with friends. The front room is a bit more artsy and that shows in the crowd. I tend to ignore the people around me if the food is good enough to focus on, but le husband felt a bit out of place with some of the other customers which were: hippies, old people and loudly conversing women. Of which the first two were the most bothersome, I agreed on that but like I said, if the food is great, I don't give a shit who else is there. You could have probably placed my in-laws at the table behind me and I would have never noticed. So KEEK. I highly recommend it and I will definitely be back asap!

What a cute café in one of the oldest shopping streets in Utrecht. The rooms used to be a tailor…read moreshop run by the grandmother of Maria who is now the owner of Kunst en Eerliijke Koffie. Thus not only the street but also the café is full of history. Although the athmosphere is not that stunning, the menue definately is. Selfmade cheese scones, fresh tea and a great combination of sandwich ingredients. The scone made me super full and it is definately a full meal. The coffee was good, too. I really enjoyed my breakfast and the friendly stuff who made my stay a great experience.

This is our top spot for non-blockbuster movies! The design of this old building gives it a…read moredistinct ambiance, different from most other cinemas! Small rooms and sometimes even a personal introduction to the movie (that was the case in 2010/2011, not sure if they still do that) makes this place very attractive indeed! The combination of dining and a movie is well-executed! The waiter usually asks if and when your movie starts and serves accordingly (whenever possible of course). Although the seating area is relatively small and other quests sometimes have to squeeze through small openings to reach their table, the food totally makes up for it.

Housed in an old police station, this is a nice local cinema that plays smaller and arthouse…read moremovies. It's also a nice place to get lunch or a drink, with plenty of space inside and on the terrace. The drinks are reasonably priced, but the variety is limited.

We reserved an high tea here in the beginning of this year. Staff was very nice, because I have a…read morequite difficult diet now (no meat, no nuts and no to all the things preggie women can't eat) Which left them with difficulties for high tea. Still, they were very friendly and came up with alternatives. Only didn't know I couldn't have raw salmon either, so I was stuck with the cheese sandwiches and my love had to eat all that lovely salmon (poor him). Although I was happy with young cheese, I felt they also could have used a more.. expensive.. luxurious cheese? Goat's? Or maybe Brie or Camembert? Because there was a whole pile of them, I was quite happy with the "ordinary cheese" because using richer cheeses would have also meant they would be very heavy on the stomach. But quality before quantity yes? Fewer sandwiches with more luxurious ingredients would have been lovelier! The sandwiches were simple, but tasty. We had some scones, those were also nice. A little simple, but ok! And then we got a giant desert course. Our eyes started to shine. And our bellies protested, because we just had all those sandwiches! But it all looked so good! Unfortunately.. the brownies were very dry. Not the chocolate mushiness one would expect. The petit-fours were simply cake and strawberry jam (maybe those always are, I don't eat a lot of pastry so excuse me if I am being too simple about them), the cheesecake was ok-ish and.. I don't really remember the other deserts on the plate now, but I know that we were stuck between relief (because if it truly was DELICIOUS we had to eat it all!) or sorrow that it was such a letdown. Oh well. It was just high tea. So we didn't have lunch or diner or whatever. So we still need to sample this. Still, the place it self is cute. It's near the forests of Amelisweerd and Rhijnauwen (beautiful walking areas!) so it might still be a very lovely place to sit town in between walks.
