Sensational. - Edit
I honestly thought I’d already reviewed this place as it is one of my all time favourites but apparently I hadn’t (tsk). Lisa’s Deli is BY FAR the BEST vegan cafés I know aside from Little World Kitchen in Utrecht. Their pastry game is UNMATCHED. This is genuinely one of the reasons I still visit my grandparents (jk, lol…. or not). The interior is super cozy, pretty and kid-friendly without that being too in-your-face. James, an owner/barista is incredible at latte art so that’s always fun. I sometimes wish they would rotate their savoury dishes more often but I usually go for a brownie or cookie anyways haha.
Read moreOkay but all jokes aside; stop reading HappyCow reviews and just GO as they sell out really fast. If you visit Zwolle without visiting this spot that’s a real shame.
I’ll just keep updating the pictures because I have so many of them in my camera roll🙈

Great vegan spot for coffee and lunch - Edit
It's all vegan! 🌱 Happy Cow lists it as vegetarian because cow's milk is an option for coffee, but that aside everything here is vegan. 💚💚
Read moreI absolutely love the grilled cheese they serve as well as the other food items. 🥪 They have soo many options, I have yet to try them all! Their matcha cookies are incredibly good as well, some of the best cookies I've ever had. Incredibly filling tho!🍪
Honestly just all of the food is just so good, even anti-vegans would love it here. 🩷
Not to mention the interior is super cozy and pleasant, and there is a spot where children can play!
Pros: All vegan friendly 🌱, Many options 💕, Friendliest staff 🩷

Lovely little nook of vegan deliciousness - Edit
I come here on a weekly basis to enjoy their well made cappuccino's and baked goods (looking at you Pear cinnamon cake!). They have a diverse assortment of freshly baked sweets (cakes, pie, cookies, cupcakes etc.), freshly made lunch items (wraps, tosties, burger like buns etc.) and drinks (Cappuccino, Cortado, Chai, Teas, Sodas etc etc.). Though a bit on the pricey side, their portions are big (a slice of cake grants you one hell of a thick slice).
Read moreStaff is very friendly and the owners speak both Dutch and English.
Situated in an old butcher's shop, the building itself is very pretty and decorated in tune to the age of the building (vintage). They have a small but well decorated sitting area, a bar, a small kids area and they can provide the wifi password and have outlets if you decide to take your laptop with you to get some work done.
If you don't want to sit down you can choose to take away for which they provide compostable non-greased carton boxes or you can take your own box with you.
They have a fully vegan menu and provide cow's milk upon request.
Which is why I'm slightly confused by the Vegetarian label here on HappyCow instead of the 'vegan' or even 'vegan options' label.
If you're vegan, vegetarian or just someone that can appreciate good food I highly recommend visiting and enjoying their delicious goods.

Heerlijk eten en fijn personeel! - Edit
Het eten is echt fantastisch! Genoeg keuze uit snacks, gebak, koeken en lunchgerechten. Ook de smoothies zijn aan te raden en er zijn losse, duurzame producten te koop zoals koffiebekers. Het personeel is ontzettend leuk, lief en spontaan. Fan-tas-tisch!

Only two non-vegan menu items - Edit
Cafe staff were very friendly to explain that all but two items at the time were vegan (two specific muffins). We asked for recommendations and they explained all the options which could also be seen pre-made in the bakery case. We opted to share the jackfruit tosti and summer salad with sweet potato, vegan feta, avocado and tahini dressing. The salad was so good, I ate almost half before even thinking about adding some of the dressing - which then added a whole other layer of nutty flavor. My husband really enjoyed the jackfruit sandwich. It seemed reminiscent of tuna salad to me, very hearty and flavorful but not my favorite. Upon their recommendation we also got a snickers bar for dessert. Everything was yummy and obviously high quality.

Vegan-friendly and tasty - Edit
We were in Zwolle and wanted to try this place, and I'm very glad we did! They have a good range of savoury and sweet things if you're hungry (we had the vegan Oreo cupcakes, though there was plenty to choose from). The coffee was nice as well.
Read moreIt's 10-15 minutes from the station depending on how fast you walk, so it's pretty easy to reach.
Update: December 2021
On a return visit we tried their savoury dishes and they were delicious. We've only been a couple of times, but this will be the first place we go whenever we're in Zwolle.

Best deli for vegans in Zwolle - Edit
They have a wide range of vegan/vegetarian options to take on to go, to do your groceries or enjoy inside. Personally I really enjoy their carrotcake muffin, aubergine sandwich and the grilled cheese (tosti). The coffee is amazing, especially if you like an oatmilk flat white.
Read morePros: Different selection of sweets and savoury snacks, Lovely staff

Amazing food, great potential - Edit
Lisa's is one of my favourite places to go in my town! At Lisa's I'm always wholesomely welcomed by the owners, and we will get served good coffees, smoothies or other drinks.
Read moreI am a regular for drinking a cop of coffee there, however I can never deny the delicious treats they have prepared. Be it a cupcake, cookie or a slice of cake, there's always something new I haven't seen before and it is really amazing.
Lisa's knows very well how to make her menu items, and by that, also my wallet, as the place isn't the cheapest. That is, however very understandable for the quality you get.
I would definitely recommend, and I hope they'll someday remove that one single cookie recipe that isn't entirely vegan - so we can colour this place dark green on the happy cow map!
Pros: Very friendly and social staff, Very well made delicious sweets, Lovely decorated
Cons: Only 99% vegan :o, Not the cheapest

Cute little place not too far from the train station - Edit
We were traveling home and had a transfer in Zwolle so decided to have a look here as it was only a short walk from the train station (about 10 minutes).
Read moreThey did not have a lot of lunch left as it has been quite busy before but there was still an aubergine sandwich left which we ended up sharing. I'm not a huge fan of aubergine perse but honestly, it was delicious and amazing and absolutely would have it again! They heated it up for us whilst we waited outside and brought it to us when it was done!
We also had some treats like a lemon poppy muffin and a lemon cookie - delicious!
If i ever come to Zwolle I would honestly consider coming here again!
Pros: Delicious food, great and friendly staff, close to the train station
Cons: couldn't sit inside
