A lot of good vegan options

More than half the menu is vegetarian/vegan so there's a lot of choice. There was also an entire cabinet of vegan cakes made by Holy Cow.
We had pancakes (part of the all day breakfast) and bitterballen, which were both very good.

Great food, ok service and staff

We had lunch at By Lima today and we had a vegan cake, a vegan sandwich and vegan 'bitterballen'. The food was very good, it tasted really nice and looked good as well. The only thing is that some of the lettuce on op top of the sandwich was old and turning yellow already, which was a pity. The staff did not come across as very professional and we have had 4 different waiters, they couldn't answer some simple questions about the menu. But, because of the great food I would come back to try again and see if the staff just had a bad day. I highly recommend the 'broccoli/linzen bitterballen', they were perfect!

Pros: many vegan options, great food, place looked lovely

Cons: not very professional staff

bad service

The service was very bad when we where there. It took very long and in the end we never got our drinks.
We just ate our sandwich and left without having our drinks.
The mango hummus sandwich was nice but was a bit disappointed in the choice of Vegan options.

Lovely place with great food!

This is a beautiful, cozy place, with friendly staff. Vegan (and gluten free) dishes are clearly marked on the menu. There are several vegan options, and in my opinion some creative ones too. I had pancakes and a chai with almond milk, both very tasty. I would definitely go back here!

Pros: Several vegan options, cozy, friendly staff

Lovely spot

Such a nice place to sit outside and have lunch, with lots of vegan options and a great atmosphere. I had the vegan pancakes, and they were delicious but quite a small plate, so I fortunately still had room for a shared plate of vegan bitterballen, a soy chai latte and a delicious vegan cake. Everything tasted from good to great.

Pros: Great looking food that tasted good, Lots of options, Lovely atmosphere

Cons: Not super cheap, Only lunch, not dinner

Tasty, healthy and filling!

Delightful little place with outside seating. The food was absolutely amazing! Healthy and extremely tasty. The portions were a lot larger than I expected and it was very filling . It's also very reasonably priced. I would definetly recommend visiting this little gem!

Highly recommended lunch spot

I thought I reviewed this place, but apparently not! It's such a cosy lunch spot. They have a menu with everything you can ask for, even homemade vegan 'bitterballen' if you're into that! Sandwiches are honestly so good and there's a large selection of vegan raw cheesecakes. The best!

Pros: The place is sooo cute and nice, the menu is full of vegan options , the staff is so kind

Cons: We had to wait for a bit longer than expected

Great food, lovely place!

What a great place and a lot of choices for vegans! This always makes me very happy. I had a wonderful piece of vegan coconut-pecan pie. Omnomnom...
Next time I definitely want to try the 2 sorts of vegan 'bitterballen' that they serve. That is typically Dutch food (a snack) served in pubs and is normally made with meat, so I haven't eaten it in 10 years now. It's really good, you should try it! (The vegan version off course)

I would give 5 stars if I could! Always great to have a variety of vegan options, both healthy and/or indulgent!
The staff are great and the location is perfect, especially on a sunny day sitting on their terrace.

Pros: Friendly service, Great variety, Central location

lovely place, lots of cake!

A quiet little place that is quite nice to sit at. The menu consists of 2 vegan breakfasts, including lemon and poppyseed pancakes and a strawberry and rhubarb crumble, only a few lunch options including the soup of the day and a carrot and ginger hummus with avocado, chilli and coriander, but the selection of vegan cakes and tarts is amazing!!! I had a bounty tart and it was delicious. Would definitely recommend this place. They also do a high tea with a big selection of vegan sweets and treats :)

Pros: quiet, lovely place to sit at, staff are nice, lots of vegan cake options

Cons: not many vegan lunch options

great food and atmosphere

This is a great little place. I had already eaten lunch when I came across it, so I only had a coffee and the parsnip fries and a small dessert. The fries were yummy. I suspect they were oven fries rather than deep fried but I didn't check. The dessert was a raw vegan cake/brownie square with chocolate banana flavored. Very rich and very tasty. Definitely recommend. Tons of vegan options

Yummy!

I admit it, I am not a sandwich fan. But The Lima's vegan sandwiches are really delicious and special. And most of their cakes are vegan - and very good as well. Cozy interior, very friendly staff.

Pros: nice atmosphere, delicious food, friendly staff

Cons: not all-veg, can be crowded

Delicious sandwiches

A lot of vegan options for a non-vegan lunchroom. Almost all cakes are vegan and they have delicious sandwiches. I had one with avocado, nuts, tahinmayonaise and herbs.

Pros: lot of vegan options, cozy
