Great food but..

I shared a salad and a sandwich with my partner, the toppings are the stars of the food! Unfortunately my black rice in the Eastern Salad was a little too much al-dente for me, and I would have loved the carrots to be roasted a little bit more.
Also, the atmosphere was nice just for the interiors, the employees look annoyed/sad (?) and that made me a little uncomfortable.

Pros: Fresh flowers on the tables , Decaf coffee, absolutely delicious!, Matcha Latte with coconut, a real bomb

Cons: Mood of the employees , Hard rice in Eastern Salad , Hard carrots in Eastern Salad

Fried and Fresh

The broccoli and lentil bitterballen were served with a tasty mustard. I enjoyed the Eastern Salad, but would have preferred the carrots to be raw instead of cooked. The decadent Ferrero Rocher cake was made of cocoa, coconut, nuts, and dates instead of refined sugar.

Pros: clearly-marked vegan options, outdoor seating, menu available in English

Cons: no menu online

Super restaurantje in Haarlem

Hier kun je heel lekker lunchen of gaan voor een high-tea met taartjes. Een favoriet waar ik graag kom.

Cons: Je kunt niet van te voren reserveren.

Great place

At By Lima your money is well spent. When ordering a sandwich you get 2 thick slices of bread with a bunchload of toppings. Awesome. Cakes and coffee are also very good.

Menu changes regularly, which is great.

Great for brunch and lunch

Plenty of fresh tasty vegan options including seasonal salads, soups and sandwiches. Vegan variations on classics like bitterballen. A vast selection of vegan cakes including cheesecakes and apple pie.

Get the tomato soup!!

Pretty amazing, and everything else we got was very fresh.
It's a pretty popular place tho' so don't even think of coming here on Saturdays after the swap meet, it was so crowded with so many people waiting that we had to leave.
So that's the only caveat for this place, it has a prime location and is quite inexpensive and very popular.
Good juices, a good vegan salad and that amazing tomato soup would bring us back.

Amazing and healthy

Such a lovely little bright cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Delicious vegan breakfast which was a matcha latte and mango/lime ‘triffle’ layered with fruit, soya yogurt, chia pudding and cashew/coconut granola, topped with fruit and flowers. Was sooo good and a lovely vibe to the cafe.

Cute place, but busy and limited vegan options

This place looks very nice and has a big terrace. They seem to be specialized in sweet foods, e.g. cakes, (raw) pies and breakfast and lunch items. The staf was allright, but rushed, probably due to the business.
The cake and lemonade I tried were tasty, but the cake was too dry.

I wouldn’t recommend this place during busy hours, since you need to wait a while.

Great place to go in Haarlem

This cafe is a nice place to stop off if you are in Haarlem and looking for somewhere with a good selection on the menu. We had a big breakfast and everything we tried was very tasty (a no-tuna open-faced sandwich, a muhammara open-faced sandwich, coffees and lime pie).

We went in on a Sunday morning without having reserved a table, and they were able to accommodate us in spite of it getting busy. It looks like it's popular locally, and I can understand why.

Nice bowl

I had the lunch bowl, and although quite varied, I felt it missed some texture, like protein (seitan, or chickn strips or ...) and something like grain, rice, couscous or such (I believe it had some pearl couscous in between the lentils? But only a very small amount).

Outdoor seating was lovely!
Inside was very noisy, small tables. Friendly, although reserved service.

A nice surprise!

Surprising place with many vegan options and good location in the center on the market. You can catch the sun at lunchtime. Both chickpea sandwich and banana bread we had were excellent. Service was supper friendly and kind. Our coffee was delayed and they took it of the bill, an appreciated gesture :)

Pros: many nice options, sweet and savory, excellent service, good location

Amazing Café in the center of Haarlem

We had an amazing breakfast/brunch in By Lima. Only at least vegetarian and a lot of vegan choices, clearly labeled on the menu. Staff is very friendly and the atmosphere warm. Everything looked very tasty and was made with love. I took a cappuccino with oat milk, the (vegan) pancakes and later the avocado fries - everything tasted amazing.
I'd absolutely recommend a visit here!

Pros: Lots of vegan and very tasty choices, Friendly staff, great atmosphere, Fair prices
