True Focaccia Delicious Pastry - Edit
Lovely and cozy place in the centre of Utrecht.
Read moreWe had a special focaccia with aubergine,capers and sauce and the Peach one. both super delicious. Also we had the Danish pastry, also amazing.
We definitely recommend this place, it might be good to visit early, it is so good that it goes sold out!

Amazing gem in Utrecht! - Edit
We visited Life's a Peach whilst on holiday in the Netherlands and it ended up being one of our top food spots from the whole trip. We had a couple of foccacia to share which were really tasty and full of flavour. The matcha looked amazing and tasted just as good and the sweet pastries were also lovely!

Nice place - Edit
I came shortly before they closed so the selection wasn't that big anymore. I had a piece that I would rather describe as a quiche than as a Focaccia, it was tasty, but not enough for a whole lunch.

Heaven on earth 😇 - Edit
I would move to this city to live near this place!
Read moreIt was pretty crowded on a sunday around noon (they warned us about that on their website though) but after 5 minutes waiting we got ourselves a seat.
Ordered the pistachio foccacia and croissant and a pastel de nata. Everything was just so good. The pistachio cream in the croissant, so delicious. The 'cheese' on the foccacia, just everything. They warm it up before they serve it to you.
The other pastries looked delicious as well...
What a great vegan find 🤩
The service was very friendly. The place is cosy but small.

Heerlijke smaken - Edit
Ik heb de focaccia pistacchio genomen. Deze was met pistache pesto. Dit was een unieke smaak, maar wel lekker. Ik zou hier zeker nog een keer naartoe gaan.🥰

Try their focaccias, farinatas and pastel de nata - Edit
They offer the best focaccias I’ve tried and offer daily specials on top of their regulars. It’s better to heat them because they’re a lot better then.
Read moreI especially like the ones with artichoke, sweet potato, mushrooms, pumpkin, mozzarella, eggplant and peach. The Autunno, N’duja, Ciccia, Pere, Tre formaggi, Caponata and Olive are nice as well. They also have great regular and filled farinatas, made of chickpea flour.
A few of their pastries are great as well: pastel de nata, vanilla layer pie, carrot cake (the regular one, not the gluten-free version!), danishes, swirls/buns, pain au chocolat, fig pie and apricot beignet.
Decent are their croissants, cheesecake (more sticky than creamy), cinnamon donut, apricot/berry pie and banoffee pie.
Their regular pastries are usually a lot tastier and more moist than their gluten-free ones.

Delicious pastel de nata! - Edit
We tried the peach and goats cheese focaccia, olive and caper focaccia, and a pastel de nata. The focaccias were quite good. The pastel de nata was pricey for its small size, but excellent: buttery and flaky pastry with a delicious and thick custard cream. They had two types of danish pastries too but they were burnt on top...

Don‘t get the 5-star-reviews… - Edit
We had 3 slices, which were all cold and oily (even tough I was asked and cleary answered that we want them hot), Taste was not more than okay. Also had the homemade pistaccio croissant, which was also okay, but the cream was not evenly distributed at all. All in all pretty disappointing.

Delicious focaccias and pastries! - Edit
Life is a Peach offers delicious focaccias and sweet pastries such as pastel de nata, croissants, and cakes, all 100% vegan. The focaccia dough is soft on the inside with a nice crispy crust. The Danish and almond croissants are tasty and not too sweet. The coffee also tastes great. It’s nice that there is now more seating available, but it fills up quickly. So, it’s smart to make a reservation or just take something to go. Definitely a place worth visiting!

Good selection of breads, pizza, and drinks including homemade lemonade. Seems to sell out of most items in the early afternoon, so stop by early if you can.

I had the focaccia cipolla and a pastel de nata and it was all very delicious! They were insanely busy today and it was chaotic around so it took a while but they were great about it. I will have to make it back here.

Satisfying, Sustainable, and Super Tasty! - Edit
I had the pleasure of trying the banana bread and the onion focaccia, and both were fantastic! The banana bread was moist, naturally sweet, and had the perfect balance of flavor—great with a cup of coffee. The onion focaccia was soft yet slightly crispy on the edges. Whether you're craving something sweet or savory, these two treats are a must-try!

very tasty focacceria - Edit
We opted for a selection of focacceria. We found them all very tasty (nice and fluffy). The cheese alternatives were delicious and had a good texture. For sweets, we ordered the pistachio croissant, pastel de nata and a cinnamon bun. All 3 were very tasty.

Closed Sunday 16 March - Edit
So disappointed to find this place closed when we visited today. It's supposed to be open on Sunday according to Google maps & the sign on their door but alas it wasn't. No explanation on their website about a temporary closure either. Not sure what's going on. Maybe call ahead to confirm that they are open.

Such a hidden gem tucked away down a side street. They have incredible foccacia and pastries, often rotating their specials so you always get to try something new. Friendly staff, great atmosphere- a must visit!
