This is such an unassuming spot. It's located near a giant bike parking lot and between two major…read morestreets at the edge of the city center in Eindhoven. If I wasn't dying for a cup of coffee I don't think we would have stopped in. I'm so glad we did. It has a seriously cool vibe. The ceilings are filled with hanging live green plants and there's plenty of options for single seating or small group seating. They have board games strewn about he room and fun floppy pillows on benches to sit on. We enjoyed some fabulous banana bread and a delicious cappuccino. We actually liked it so much that we ran back the next morning before our flight and brought some friends along to enjoy the experience. At the back of the cafe is a cute little shop with local gifts that you can grab to share with friends back home.

Great location, beautiful decor, menu... not for me…read more I think I am going to start using a new word for this experience "Insta-trap". Insta-trap, similar to a tourist trap, is when the food ends up taking a major backseat in the experience to a good location, or in this case, excellent decor and plating. In my opinion, CoffeeLab felt an awful lot like an Insta-trap. The decor, the plating - beautifully curated. The menu... not so much. Word of advice: if you are here for the instagrammable vines hanging from the ceiling and the trendy wooden boards and jam jar coffees, stick to desserts and coffee. The "lunch" menu felt tired and lackluster. If I rattled off a few adventurous-sounding ingredients that could be made into sandwiches that took minimal effort that would be these sandwiches. One bite into my spicy chicken and jalapeno sandwich and it was clear it did not take much effort to make this. Simple ingredients, hardly any flavour, no garnish. I think the most egregious part of this experience was that they had not even bothered to wipe off the knife from cutting my friend's goat cheese sandwich before mine so residue from her sandwich was all over mine. And the coffee! Maybe this is just not for me but the Espresso Tonic was definitely not something I would enjoy in the summer. I'm pretty open-minded with coffee. I'll try the trendy Robusta-only espressos in Shoreditch or the Nitro brews in San Francisco, but this drink was so far from sweet or summery (as advertised). It was... mineral and severely bitter. Overall it was a little disappointing. Coffeelab was the first on my list of things to do on my first trip to Eindhoven. Maybe it was just me expecting a little more, but if you came here for the Insta, then by all means you will not be disappointed. But if you wanted lunch, maybe try somewhere else. And if you wanted coffee, by all means - avoid that 4 euro espresso tonic.

This was easily one of the best breakfast finds of our vacation. I started with a Dirty Chai, which…read morewas expertly balanced and hit the spot. For the main, I had the Full Italian. It's an impressive spread, but the standouts were the house-made focaccia and the vibrant, fresh pesto--you could really taste the quality. The combination of savory prosciutto, mortadella, and mozzarella with scrambled eggs was delicious, and finishing with a cannoli was a treat. Bob opted for the Banana Bread, which was clearly fresh-baked and came loaded with yogurt, granola, and fruit. He loved it. The space itself is intimate and high-energy, but it never felt cramped; instead, it had a cheerful, cozy vibe that made us want to linger. Service was excellent, attentive without being overbearing. A definite recommendation for anyone looking for a high-quality morning meal!

Not the best ice cream I've had, but definitely a solid choice. I'm giving it 4 stars as some…read moreflavors are a major miss for me. For example, some ice cream flavors are really misleading. They're not really flavors at all, more like toppings. Whatever flavor I get is what I expect the ice cream itself to taste like, not what a few sparse chunks taste like. What I like to do is ask to try 2 flavors each time, then get the one I like more out of the 2. It's a nice way to eventually try out every flavor. One thing I'll give them extra kudos for is the lovely interior decor. I don't know exactly when it happened, but at some point they remodeled the place. It's basically a pink paradise now. I love it! P.S. The address on Yelp for this location is currently wrong. Luckily it's just one block over. Check the website for the correct address. P.P.S. The business hours on Yelp are also very wrong. Check their website for the most up to date hours.
