Nice little café in a vintage store - Edit
It was a very nice place for having a break!
Read moreI took the Jackfruit Satay Toast and it was delicious! Just what I needed. The toast was freshly prepared the moment I ordered.
I would also recommend the treats. I took a brownie and a cookie to go for later. They were very sweet but good.
There are many vegan options.

Heerlijk gegeten! - Edit
Een leuke en knusse plek om te lunchen of een koffie met wat lekkers te doen. Verrassende kaart met zoete en hartige opties. Mijn jackfruit saté was heerlijk! De service was prima. Prima plek in Zwolle!

Lovely place - Edit
Situated in the back of a vintage clothing store LUA offers a wide range of (home)baked goods, sandwiches, granola bowls, sweets, and both hot and cold drinks.
Read moreWith a decor fitting the vintage vibe you can sit comfortably while enjoying your Chai Latte and Pistachio croissant, or whatever your fancy!
If inside seating is not for you, you can take place on one of the chairs or the bench outside, or even ask for take away and enjoy your goodies in the nearby park alongside the canal.
I have come here regularly since she has opened and have near tasted everything from the sweets and savouries, I can absolutely recommend the vegan sausage roll (Zwamcijsje) made from Oystermushrooms, which you won't even notice. It's been a couple years since I've had the animal based sausage roll and hadn't found a good replacement yet but this one, this Zwamcijsje, comes incredibly close to the animal based version.
Also the Pistachio croissant is worth every penny, very well balanced in nuttiness, sweetness, and savouryness. It's a bit baklava-like but not as insanely sweet as the original baklava. I'd recommend ordering the pistachio croissant warmed.
Also the cappuccino is great, both caffeinated and decaf, but the absolute winner for me is the Dirty-Chai decaf with oat milk (iced version is equally delicious). It's such a go-to for me that she says it even before I have to order it when she sees me coming in. Also highly appreciate the water served on the house.
LUA'S serves a variety of plantbased milks among which Oat-, coconut- and recently added sprout- milk, but also offers cow's milk upon request.
She also offers some off-menu items which rotate or switch every so often.
Almost everything is either vegan or can be made vegan except for some of the cookies/cakes. But everything is clearly labeled and the owner is always happy to help.
Aside from the great locale and the delicious foods, LUA'S owner is very friendly, helpful and always in for a "babbel" (chat).
Overall a great place for lunch, a snack, or a cuppa!
