Just wonderful

Amazing foccacias, warm, crispy and fluffy. The cornetto and pastel de nata were also just perfect. I also loved the flavor combinations (like cardamom and chocolate combo)

The bombolone, however, was not the best I ever had.

Pros: Perfect foccacias!, Excellent flavors

Cons: Bombolone was not amazing

Best place for focaccias

They have the best focaccias I’ve tried and offer daily specials on top of their regulars. I especially like the ones with mozzarella, eggplant, artichoke, olives, pesto, fungi, pumpkin, and peach. The Autunno, N’duja, Ciccia, Pere, Tre formaggi and Caponata are quite nice as well. They also have a tasty classic and filled farinata, made of chickpea flour.

A few of their pastries are great as well: pastel de nata, carrot cake, swirls (cinnamon, cardamon, pumpkin spice, lemon/lavender), pain au chocolat, fig pie and apricot beignet.
Quite nice are their cheesecake (more sticky than creamy), cinnamon donut, banana cake, apricot/berry pie and banoffee. I also quite liked the danishes, but the (filo) dough was a bit too hard for a danish.
Some of their pastries taste a bit bland, a.o. croissants (although great crispyness), sfogliatelle (made of filo dough), carrotanana, banana bread, mango sticky rice cake, fruit crumble and bombolone. The Bosche bombolone had a nice dough and whipped cream filling, but the chocolate was too bitter for me.

In the summer, they serve nice mylkshakes with Roberto’s gelato vanilla ice-cream and fresh fruit.
In the colder seasons, they have a great pumpkin spice latte. Other lattes are usually good as well (although I didn’t like peach latte that much).

A must visit in Utrecht

Such a hidden gem tucked away down a side street. They have incredible foccacia and pastries, often rotating their specials so you always get to try something new. Friendly staff, great atmosphere- a must visit!

DELICIOUS

Food is absolutely delicious. I visited many times and it never disappoints. The other day I had the most delicious vegan pastry of my life! I highly recommend Life’s a Peach.

The only small negative aspect to point out is the efficiency of the service. All the staff are absolutely lovely, however, a smoother service, especially in terms of timing, would really improve the overall experience. Having said this, I still 100% recommend this spot - it is a true gem!

quite disappointed

heard a lot of good opinions about this place, however for us it was quite a disappointed. focaccias were heated up in a microvave what made them soggy and chewy.

on the other hand, very cute interior.

Simply great

Small café offering fresh, home baked plant based pastries and savoury treats (focaccia and farinata), including some gluten free options.
We tried the mushroom and “goat cheese” focaccia, the farinata, the pastel de nata and pistachio filled croissant. All of them were very tasty. I personally had a big crush on the mushroom focaccia. Both sweet pastries were actually rather low on sugar, which is good from a health standpoint but could do with a bit sweeter taste (and with a stronger vanilla flavour for the pastel) in my opinion.
Service is very friendly and informative.
The café is small and has limited seating.
Coffee can be served with a choice of oat, coconut or sprouts milk.

Pros: Very good food, Large selection of savoury snacks and pastries , Friendly staff

Cons: Closes quite early, Small, hence limited seating

Delicious little gem

Lovely little cafe with delicious baked treats and good coffee. All plant-based and lots of choice. They seem very popular so definitely worth coming earlier on the day to avoid disappointment (they only bake a limited amount each day, which makes sense and keeps everything fresh). Not that much space to sit inside but there's a table in the back if you are with more than two people.

The best dessert ever, your sfoglia is outstanding!

Today there was a very sweet girl at the counter that wished a lovely day to a guest and that made me happy.

Pros: La sfoglia, Not too sweet, But very crunchy

Heerlijk! Ik had een Danish pastry en de olijf focaccia. En keuzestress! Alles zag er superlekker uit. Heel knus zaakje, gezellige sfeer met plantjes en mooie muren. Aanrader!

Amazing bakery

The place is really small and cute so be ready to take your food to go! The foccacias are amazing, the staff is friendly. The vibe is so artsy and cozy. They have daily specials and I couldn’t decide, took both. Very happy with my choices, will go back again.

Pros: The food!, Pastel de nata!!, The coziness

Super cute and lively place with a wide selection of vibrant looking snacks. Loved the Pastel de Nata and Veggie Farinata. Definitely remembering this place when I'm looking for a - also reasonably priced - snack in Utrecht!

Pros: Cute, Cheap, Vibrant snack selection

Lovely!

Super cute and small. Lovely decorated and beautiful and cute interior.
Their Pastel de Nata are the best I've had so far! Absolutely Delicious! Dirty Chai was okay but not my favourite, good amount though! Not tiny like you sometimes get.
Pistachio cornet was good too, though I was expecting a pistachio croissant, which is entirely different and thus a bit of a shock, because I couldn't read with my caffeine deficient head...😅
Apparently a cornet is a much more oil heavy, and a bit savoury, dough. Good taste though! The pistachio filling was however very centred and once at the centre it could not be eaten without the pistachio filling dripping all over... Which is probably part of the experience😉
Their Peach Latte was good as well, surprising taste!
Took a pair of Pastel de Nata and a cardamom bun home with me. They held good the whole day out in the 27 celcius sun and were still very tasty the day after!

Will return to try their other delicious goods and their Focaccia!

Pros: Delicious Pastel de Nata and other baked goods, Good drinks, lovely interior and cute place overal, Kind and friendly staff. Fully vegan!

Delicious focaccia

Don't come here often enough, but they make delicious focaccia's. Also some of their pastries are very good. I am not a fan of the pistachio croissant, but I guess it's jus a matter of taste. It's not that they are not well made, they are just not for me. I once had the best cheesecake of my life here, absolutely wonderful. Also the coffee is very good. 5/5!

During the summer they also have milkshakes and they are super tasty. I especially liked the vanilla one, the banana milkshake was also good. They are super creamy and not overly sweet. I think they also have a coconut one sometimes which I would love to try.

Portuguese pastry to die for

We only visited briefly with the Vegan Food Tour (highly recommend) and didn't even have time to sit down, but we tasted the pastel de Nata and it was to die for. Wish I could stop by every day here. Can't wait to go back and sit down and enjoy their food and drinks.
