Such a welcoming and cosy place - Edit
I had a piece of quiche with a green salad, which matched really well, followed by a piece of carrot cake and a cup of rooibos tea. I enjoyed everything. The highlight was that I got a glass of tap water when I arrived, without asking. I like!
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Cosy atmosphere, Free glas of tap water
Cons: Not sure how much is organic

One dish fantastic, one a bit bland - Edit
Looooved the kimchi pancakes, such a great tasty dish. I would come back just for that. Coffee very good too, staff super friendly. The haoura (daily special) was disappointing; quite bland tasting couscous with salad/veggies. I will come back though to try the rest of their menu

Quaint cafe with Dutch food - Edit
I highly enjoyed the Dutch sandwiches and breads with cheese. The place can get a bit full but the staff is extremely friendly and it's worth going to

Cute place - Edit
Had a delightful time at this charming cafe. Tried the Bapao with tofu ‘chicken’ ball, while my friend opted for the potato waffle – I have to say, her choice was spot-on! Personally found the tofu ball a bit too salty, and more red cabbage would've been perfect. Requested extra pickles to balance the greens, but despite that, it wasn't too shabby. The place itself is adorable, and we wrapped up our meal with some delicious sweets, especially the cheesecake which was a winner!
Read moreOne thing to note for improvement: It took a bit for the staff to notice us, even though we were seated right at the front, and that initial wait wasn't very welcoming.
Pros: Cute interior, Good selection of dishes
Cons: The staff seemed a bit distracted.

Blijmakend! - Edit
De koffie vind ik hier niet zo lekker (kwestie van smaak) maar o wat word ik blij van Lief. Verrukkelijk en verrassend eten en zo fijn om als vegan eens een keer keuzestress te hebben bij het uitkiezen van iets lekkers!
Read moreOok als het heel druk is zijn ze hier vriendelijk en ik zou bijna zeggen: lief 😊
Kortom: ik ben fan en raad Lief ten zeerste aan.

Top notch cafe - Edit
Very cozy cafe, friendly staff, and delicious food. The menu changes, but everything is vegan.
Read moreToo many options to choose from really! The breakfast, brunch, drinks, and sweets are all delicious.
The location is away from the city centre, but it’s worth the trip to try this wonderful cafe.

Cute, Cozy, Tasty - Edit
Really interesting dishes with a very homey atmosphere. The sitting area in the front is cute and cozy. Price for the food is really good for what you get. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Great brunch spot.
Read moreI got the potato waffle with oyster mushrooms and my husband got the shakshouka. Both dishes were delicious, with creative use of ingredients, but if I had to choose between the two I would go for the potato waffle (but that’s just because i’m not huge on bell peppers). I was planning on trying a cheesecake slice or tiramisu after, but the entrees were so filling I couldn’t eat anything else.
Coffee was also very good.
Pros: Unique dishes, Comfy and calm atmosphere

Ik heb je lief bij café lief - Edit
De naam lief is passend: bij lief leaf zijn ze aardig en alles is vegan.
Read moreDe menukaart is origineel en steeds met andere gerechten. Ik nam verschillende heerlijkheden en de kwaliteit is van hoog niveau.
Het café is vooral gericht op ouders met kleine kinderen, maar er was een rustig hoekje te vinden.

Warm and friendly vegan eatery 💜💜 - Edit
We really enjoyed our brunch here today. Sweet, comfortable easy-going restaurant with what tastes like home-cooked vegan food, great cappuccinos, and super friendly service.
Read moreThe owner is from New Zealand and was very familiar with HappyCow. We came during the day but when the topic of New Zealand wines came up (I told her that I frequently would buy New Zealand wines even if they did not say they were organic because of the clean farming there) she mentioned that they have a large selection.
We would love to go back to sample!

Gezellig & kindvriendelijk Vegan lunchpakket - Edit
Hier kun je heerlijk lunchen in Haarlem, net buiten het centrum in de Cronjé.
Read moreIdeaal om hier met kleine kinderen heen te gaan, zo is er een kindermenu en een speelhoek met schommelstoelen waar je rustig in kunt zitten.
