Erg lekkere en mooie high tea - Edit
Exact een jaar geleden geweest voor een high tea die we van onze collega’s cadeau kregen. De foto’s er nu maar eens bij gezocht en de review geschreven.
Read moreHet was een heerlijke verrassing daar de high tea! Hartig beleg op heerlijke broodjes, heel veel theesoorten, prachtig gedecoreerde zoetigheden, een heerlijk soepje in een tof oud kopje en een lekkere smoothie. Zeer aan te raden!
Pros: Zeer smaakvol, Prachtig gedecoreerde hapjes

Great vegan cake but vegan surcharge - Edit
This place was very busy when we visited so we were lucky to get a spot. It has a welcoming and child friendly atmosphere and the service was good. We had two lattes and a vegan lion bar. Everything was enjoyed but I find the surcharge for vegan milk really unfortunate. It made the lattes extremely expensive. Even making it a little cheaper would be a good step forward I feel. Otherwise a good experience.
Read morePros: Multiple vegan cakes, Welcoming staff and atmosphere
Cons: Crammed with seats and (rightfully) very popular, Surcharge on plant based milks

Koffie en gebak - Edit
Prima restaurant waar je met vrienden/familie kan afspreken voor een kop koffie met gebak. De vegan opties op de menukaart trekken mij persoonlijk niet zo.

Vegan High Tea - Edit
Loved the high tea! Soup, sandwiches, cakes and a small smoothie. Everything was really tasty. Lovely service. I think we found our new favorite place in Alkmaar.

Nice cakes, bites, sandwiches & more - Edit
This time we had the Mokka Taart, which managed to fulfil even german cake cravings😉and the Lahmacun (very tasty, huge portion).
Read moreWe were able to sample the egg salad, which will hopefully make it onto the next menu, as it was really really nice.
Coffee n drinks good as usual. In case of a (often boring) cookie you get a delicious date with your hot beverage.
Cozy atmosphere, often busy ☺
Pros: Choice of cakes, Cozy atmosphere, Real good food

Terrible experience - Edit
TLDR: avoid this place if you know food.
Read morePowdered and artificially sweetened (not mentioned on the menu) dirty chai for 4,95 is just scamming your customers. Especially for vega(n) places where chai tea is always a staple. Well not at Sencha.
For such a high price I expect at the very least some properly brewed tea, not some add water to powder instant crap. I can buy that in the supermarket.
The cappuccino (free of charge) I got instead was just bad, especially seeing they have a proper machine. Maybe the barista had an off day or something, it tasted like he used the coffee puck from the previous order. Now after revising my review I'm wondering if the barista purposely made me a bad coffee as he seemed offended I didn't like his chai scam.
The caramel shortbread was nice but I think the shortbread was just crumbled cookies and it was cold and therefore rockhard so definitely not freshly made that day. It was taken out of the (regular and therefore too cold) fridge not long before as it had condensed water on it.
The cashier/barista asked my wife if she did enjoy the powdered chai with an undertone that was....you know...unfriendly. Very unprofessional behaviour.
This place came recommended but as a former hospitality pro I had a bad experience. Seeing the (lack of) quality in food myself and in other reviews about old pie and not enough ginger/mint in tea it seems this place doesn't have actual professional cooks/baristas just people playing restaurant and trying to earn cash. Fine for the average Joe, but if you know food, better to avoid this place.

Delicious vegan cakes! - Edit
Sencha is a nice place to have lunch or eat a delicious cake. They have many vegan options which is really nice.
Read moreI ate here a couple of times and ate the sandwich with chicken curry, made from jackfruit, a while ago. The sandwich was so delicious! We also ate the healthy snickers cake, also yummy. They also make customized cakes. Two years ago I ordered one for my birthday and it was really pretty and delicious!

Heerlijk ontbijt en lekkere koffie - Edit
De bak met veganistisch ontbijt (muesli met vers fruit en kokos yoghurt) is heerlijk. En de koffie (cappuccino, koffie verkeerd, …) kan ook met havermelk gemaakt worden. Diverse soorten gebak ook geschikt voor diverse diëten (glutenvrij, veganistisch). Niet zelf gemaakt maar wel lekker.
Read morePros: Lekkere koffie, Lekker gebak, Veganistische ontbijtgranen
Cons: Geen plek om buiten te zitten, Ietwat opdringerig personeel, Niet heel veel veganistische keuzes

Vegan cakes on menu not available - Edit
This is quite a large and cosy lunchroom with some vegan options. However, it tends to be busy so you need to queu up.
Read moreThey have a limited number of vegan pastries and the ones mentioned on their menu are usually not available. The taste is quite good, but nothing special.
Btw, be aware that the Twix pie is NOT vegan (a reviewer posted a picture of it).

Wat een heerlijke vegan friendly plek! - Edit
Veel vegan opties, zowel zoet (worteltaart (he-mels), brownies, vegan 'Snickers', etc) als diverse broodjes, volgens mijn tafelgenoten was de pita Hayoe burger heerlijk. Verder zowel plantaardige soja als haver melk verkrijgbaar voor in de koffie en erwten melk (mijn favoriet).

Lovely place, getting better and better - Edit
The vibe at this place is great, the interior looks very cute (and is all for sale of you'd like to take it home) and the garden is a nice place to sit aswell.
Read moreI used to not be their biggest fan, but they just keep on improving so I'm editting my review to a way more positive one. The texture of the vegan cheesecakes still feels a bit off for me. Often they're a little too grainy or too chewy for my taste. Boyfriend likes it though and the taste is fine and keeps getting better. Their vegan cinnabuns are to die for! And the brownie's and more cake-like cakes are great aswell.
Lunchmenu is great nowadays aswell.
We've certainly become regulars (maybe also because we've become neighbours).

Cute interior and delicious food - Edit
My chai latte was served with a date on the side, never seen that anywhere else. The dessert options for vegans are huge. Make sure to ask staff what's vegan as a lot of cakes didn't have "vegan" written on their sign. I also got the vegan jackfruit sandwich which tasted great but i could have been a little cheaper for what it was.
Read moreNice and helpful staff.
Many tables, also a few outside.
Pros: Many vegan desserts, Delicious
