My fave in Almere

This place is cute and relaxed and the staff is friendly. Since October 2023, there are new owners and they’re hospitable. You need to order and pay immediaty at the counter.
The menu doesn’t change that much, which is a pity. However, they do offer high-teas that contain items they don’t sell normally (like sandwich with ‘chicken’ curry salad and ‘paté’.

There are several tasty dishes, like chili-cheeseburger, sushi bowl, kapsalon, broodje kroket, banana bread (nutty) blueberry muffin and lemon/poppy cake. Sometimes their pies are a bit dry and too sweet, but I like their carrot cake and cherry/choco pie the best. Quite nice are red velvet, Oreo, Speculoos, snickers and lemon/choco. However, I don’t like their choco-chip cookie that much, because it lacks some flavour. I tried their christmas cookie, which doesn’t have added sugar and it’s quite nice.

Their drinks are nice as well, e.g. Soof lemonade, chai latte and hot cocoa with whipped cream (with real chocolate).

Einfach, richtig, gut

Es beginnt bereits beim eintreten, helle, freundliche Einrichtung und ein fröhliches Hallo von der Theke.

Wir waren zum Lunch dort und wollten nur eine Kleinigkeit aber die Teller auf den anderen Tischen haben uns überzeugt. Der Geschmack war 100% und sehr aromatisch. Bringt etwas Zeit mit, weil hier wir alles frisch zubereitet.

Das ist vielleicht der einzige Kritikpunt, sie haben Tomaten und Zwiebeln etc erst bei der Bestellung geschnitten, Das könnte man vorher vorbereiten; vielleicht war an dem Tag vorher viel los und bereits alles leer. #Veganuary

Pros: Ambiente , Geschmack und Zubereitung

Delicious!

Iedere keer weer perfect! Soms gaan we hier alleen koffie of thee drinken met een heerlijk stuk taart. Gisteren hebben we kapsalon en een broodje kroket (bitterbal) gegeten. Het was weer heerlijk! Het is een genot om een hele menukaart te zien waar alleen maar vegan opties opstaan.
Personeel reuze aardig, ruimte gezellig ingericht. We komen graag weer.

Vegan bitterballen

Came here for lunch with a non-vegan Dutch friend and he said the vegan bitterballen is identical to the traditional meat-based version! We both enjoyed our meal. Cozy atmosphere in town center.

Pros: Friendly staff, Cozy environment, Healthy food options

Wow, simply fabulous!

The food was so good at this place. I ordered the special ‘Floriade’. The sweet potato fries with rendang flavored beetroot was delicious. The brownie and banana bread looked mouthwatering good as well, but the ordered dish filled me up too much to have one of the other snacks. Would definitely come back to taste those as well 😍🫶🏼.

Pros: Vegan is standard (cowmilk for coffee available), A-m-a-z-i-n-g taste!, Nice vibe and lovely people

Zo'n gezellig café!

Als eerste: de staff is zo vriendelijk! Ik voelde me gelijk prettig daar en het was zo'n leuk interieur!
Het eten was simpelweg perfect. Wij hadden een Mocha met havermelk wat voor mij precies goed was aangezien ik niet de grootste koffiefan ben.
De taartjes waren zo lekker ook. Perfecte hoeveelheid boter creme en interessante smaken.

Pros: Alles kan vegan worden gemaakt, Super mooi café

Cons: Niets

Nice for takeway options

During the lockdowns in the Netherlands, we wanted to support small businesses.
We had a Christmas brunch and an Easter brunch.
Both very good value - lots of food which was way too much for two people in one sitting, very nice and freshly prepared.
I had cake and coffee at the shop last year and it wasn't that special, though.

Pros: Good location, Good takeaway options, Everything is vegan

Nice spot but nothing special

Its great having a vegan Cafe in the center of Almere. At a top location with a cozy interior. But the food is pretty average-nothing special.

Pros: Nice spot and interior

Cons: Average food

Heerlijke plek voor drankje en/ of lunch..

Ik raad de bitterballen echt aan!! Die waren heerlijk krokant en perfect van smaak. Ook de curry kokossoep met linzen is een echte aanrader perfect van smaak en een beetje pittig.

De sfeer hier is heel prettig en de bediening is enorm vriendelijk. Ik ga zeker nog een keer terug.

Lovely Australian style lunchroom

Éverything is vegan except for a choice of biological cow milk in your coffee (next to a choice of coconut-, soy- and oatdrink).

There is something for everyone: burger, salad or sandwich, but also lovely cakes, croissants and typical Dutch ' Bitterballen'.

It also has a kids menu and playcorner

Pros: Range of different options, all vegan, kids menu and playcorner
