Tasty coffee and smoothie bowl

Came here to get some fruit and veg in my life after eating a lot of fried food during my stay in Utrecht 😅 Had a delicious green smoothie bowl- big portion, great flavours and tasty fruity topping. The coffee was good and it was lovely sitting by the canal! Be aware the steps down to the canal side seating are very steep.

Leuke en rustige plek

Leuk om beneden te zitten aan de gracht. Smoothie bowl was erg goed!

Wel jammer dat er plastic bekers worden gebruikt.

Pros: Leuke plek aan de gracht beneden

Beautiful café with seats next to the canal

I had avocado toasts and a coffee. The staff was really friendly and helpful. The downstairs had seats and plants in beautiful caribbean style setting.

The avocado toast was delicious (albeit pricey - but everything seems to be in Utrecht) and there was a complimentary piece of banana cake with the coffee.

You can sit next to the canal and watch boats and birds go past. Lovely!

There's an extra price for oat milk but it wasn't charged.

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff , Avocado toast with pineapple and chili , The downstairs seats

Juice at the waterfront

Sweet little shop in the very center of the city at a nice spot, right next to the water front.
The juice is freshly made right in front of you.

Pros: Great, fresh juice, Happy to adjust drinks to your wish or needs

Cons: Only 3 juices on the menu

Is eating a mermaid vegan ?

We had the Pitaya bowl, blue mermaid bowl, and four pieces of raw cake: Citrus, coconut, Apple crunch, raspberry cheesecake. Everything was good, the mermaid tail out of candy was funny, but maybe not necessary and the whole bowl was a little sweet. We especially liked the Citrus cake.
The place recently moved to Vismarkt 19 and therefor the sandwiches on the menu were not available, as well as the downstairs seating and toilet. So it was a bit narrow in the store and not many seats were available.

Pros: Vegan raw cakes, Freshly made bowls, Outdoor seating available

Cons: Few seats and no bathroom due to constructions, Quite noisy, because of the blender, No savoury options due to constructions

Nice place in the centre of Utrecht

Nice place in the centre of Utrecht. The vegan options on the menu weren’t marked vegan, which I would have preferred. We had a nice lunch with smoothies, the sandwiches we had were quite big so good value for our money.

Great place and delicious food

Stopped here to have a drink and a snack with my wife. I ordered the green smoothie with a raw caramel cake and my wife coffee with soy milk and a raw cocos/Chocolade cake. It was really delicious and the place has a very nice atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and served us with a smile, felt very welcome here. Would really recommend anyone who is in Utrecht to visit this place.

Pros: Delicious juices, All raw cakes are vegan, Delicious raw cakes

Good quality and allergy-friendly

Cool lunch place with kind people. They were very nice in creating allergy-friendly foods. The food wasnt served quickly, but it was really good and tasty. They do use plastic straws for their drinks which is a waste.

Pros: Vegan options, Nice people, Allergy friendly

Cons: Plastic straws, Long serving time

A healthy and fruity juice bar

Smood is a really cute juicebar in which the middle of the cute city of Utrecht. Located near a canal, it gives a lot of charm to the place. Really funny to indulge myself with their Blue Spirulina Chai Latte. The taste is interesting and surprising (quite liked it) but that is mainly the color which brings it to another level. My friends had a cute Acai Bowl and Iced Coffee latte.
Overall a nice healthy experience, even though the price of some items seems a bit high.

Pros: Healthy options, Original product

Cons: Price of some produts

Juice bar with extras

"Smood" presents itself as a juicebar, but in fact they offer a lot more than that. Smood offers sandwiches, cakes, soup and fruit bowls. The restaurant offers indoor seating. The wooden interior finished in fresh colours creates exactly the right vibe for a place like this.

Since I already eat a lot of vegetables, I opted for the fruit bowl. Smood offers three fruit bowls. I chose the acai and banana version. It also has some blueberries, strawberries and passion fruit. Usually it's sweetened with honey, but when I asked for vegan the honey was replaced with nuts. Even without sweeteners the taste was excellent and the portion was okay.

On the side I had a macha latte with good quality macha and the latte (cow milk) replaced by soy milk. Replacing the cow milk by soy mild didn't affect the price, and I still enjoyed the taste very much.

If you're looking for a health boost with more than just a smoothie, Smood is the place to go!

Pros: healthy, great taste, decent size portions

Cons: no proper website, only a Facebook page

My to-go place for acaï bowls

I regularly come here to get a delicious acaï bowl or a smoothie. Be sure to order it vegan, as they will substitute the granola (contains honey) with nuts.

Pros: Vegan friendly, Everything is freshly prepared
