Nice food, friendly, but shabby place - Edit
January 2023 - Update. Visited again for lunch.
Read moreVery friendly and welcoming. Great food, and cheap! Had a panini with mozarella, wrap with seitan, soup, and small salad on the side.
Fantastic lunch.
The place itself is a bit shabby though. What we immediately noticed were the damp windows, and the high humidity when entering. Needs some air circulation. And mold places on wall/ceiling. The toilet area could do with some renovation / cleaning up. Shabby.
Not accessible. Step to get in, step inside to back area.
--------
2018:
Had a nice light lunch. Menu consists of sandwiches, paninis, a salad and a pasta.
Reasonably priced (but if you're really hungry, you might want to order two paninis).
Muffins for dessert.

Undeniably great vegan food - Edit
The food is great, the vibe is really cool and they had rock-covers of disney songs (among others) blasting from their speakers. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely come back ❤️
Read morePros: Great food, Great vibe, Great tunes

Tasty wrap - Edit
Stopped here for a little lunch. We ordered hot chocolate (which came with a delicious piece of muffin) and an egg salad wrap. The wrap was tasty and very fresh. We really enjoyed them! What we didn’t like was that everything came in paper cups and on paper plates, which didn’t make for the best drinking/eating experience. And also probably creates a lot of waste? We also had to wait quite a bit for the wrap, which might be due to the festive season and the city being full… Overall good experience but could be improved upon in details.

Good panini - Edit
The panini was okay but the music was quite loud and the use of the disposable plates was a bit disappointing

Lovely place - Edit
Had a "mozerella" panini and a "kebab" roll. Both were very tasty and filled with a lot of veggies. Especially the mozarella-panini is a recommend dish!
Read moreI was also so happy that they used a crunchy Brown rustic baguette for their rolls, far better and tastier than a boring white one!

Excellent 100% vegan sandwiches - Edit
We got the chicken pesto sandwich and the Caesar wrap which were both excellent. The owner was very nice and the shop is small but cute with a nice atmosphere.

Would be 5 if more reliable - Edit
When I went on wednesday 25 minutes after opening, she was inside but with the door blocket, and didn't acknowledge my knocking.
Read moreThursday I was in more luck and had a wonderful panini with homemade mozarella. I was alone and she was playing Taylor Swift quite loudly and singing along, which might not be everyones cup of tea.
It is a small café with an owner that also seems to be the only staff, so some opening-reliability issues is to be counted with.

Needs improvement with social media announcements - Edit
We walked all the way there, after seeing it was open on here and online, and checked on their social media's to triple check. When we arrived it said "open thursday", with a sign in the door. Other places use their social media to announce sudden day closures, so we were very sad and disappointed:( Needs better communication to the public as we weren't the only ones who walked there to be sad!

Lekkere panini's - Edit
We bestelden een panini met pesto, mozzarella, zongedroogde tomaten en rucola. Het was voor mij wat veel, maar smaakte prima. De vegan mozzarella was erg geslaagd. Wel was de panini wat aan de dure kant, en stond er erg harde muziek aan, wat een beetje storend was
Read morePros: Vriendelijke eigenaar , Goede mozzarella , Lekkere panini
Cons: Prijzig, Luide muziek

Nice panini - Edit
It was busy when we arrived but a table appeared and we sat down after ordering. I had the mozzarella panini (sandwiches had run out) and my partner had the seitan. The panini was nice and I enjoyed the fillings. It was a good sized panini. Service was nice
