Nice lunchroom

This place is cute and relaxed and the staff is friendly. Since October 2023, there are new owners and they’re very hospitable.
You need to order and pay immediaty at the counter.

There are several tasty dishes, like sushi bowl, kapsalon, broodje kroket, blueberry muffin and lemon/poppy cake. They recently changed their menu and some dishes have become slightly different. The banana bread used to be great: tasty, nutty and fluffy, but it has become firmer, less tasty and nutless. In general, their food used to be better before 2024.
Some of their pies are a bit dry and too sweet, but I like their carrot cake, cherry/choco and ‘kruidnoten’ pie the best. Quite nice are red velvet, Oreo, Speculoos, snickers and lemon/choco.

Their drinks are nice as well, e.g. Soof lemonade, chai latte and hot cocoa with whipped cream (with real chocolate).

Absolutely amazing

I have tried the avocado toast, the iced latte, the cakes, the muffins, the pokebowl and the tuna sandwich all on separate occasions. Most through toogoodtogo and some through dining there and every single time its amazing. Service? Amazing. Ambiance? Amazing. Food? Amazing. Quality for price? Amazing.
Whenever i get a toogoodtogo from here the portions are GENEROUS and FRESH made and you taste the love in it.
Every time after eating here i regret not taking 50 dishes home with me, i regret not being a millionaire so i can spend every single day eating here.
I dream about the food here. A day away from black cockatoo is a day of pain

Don’t tell anyone it’s vegan!

I love when places don’t scream ‘I’m vegan’ but silently are. The black cockatoo is one of those places. Located on the shopping street of Almere, I’m sure it also attracts many non-vegans that just walk in for coffee/lunch. That wasn’t me I went to this place finding it on HappyCow and I was astonished by their delicious food. Would go back

Pros: Delicious food, Friendly staff

Charming, all vegan lunch spot

Charming all vegan lunch spot in Almere with healthy and not so healthy lunch options 😏 The soup is usually tasty and fresh, I had a good grilled cheese sandwich with kimchi and sauerkraut and coffee is also good. They also have sweets/cakes. Friendly owners as well. 5 starts for all this, only tip would be that I’d like the option of whole grain bread

Good food, great service! Owners (I guess) were super kind and friendly, food was very fresh and cheaper than the average here in the Netherlands. Inside it’s really nice and they also have a small kids corner with some toys and pencils!

One of the best places in Almere

Been coming here for a long time. Owner recently changed, but it's still the same lovely place with a very nice vibe. Has a healthy monkey platter for little children with fruits and veggies of choice and a kids corner. Some healthy food and some fried food on the menu, voor ieder wat wils as we say in Dutch. You have to order at the bar.

The outdoor seating around the corner is partially on a narrow sidewalk next to a heavy traffic road, so quite some car fumes. The owner can't help this, but for planning your visit, it's good to keep this in mind. Right in front, the seating is better, but not too many seats.

Pros: Good food, delicous cakes, Kids corner and menu options, Kind staff

Cons: Outdoor seating

Einfach, richtig, gut

Es beginnt bereits beim eintreten, helle, freundliche Einrichtung und ein fröhliches Hallo von der Theke.

Wir waren zum Lunch dort und wollten nur eine Kleinigkeit aber die Teller auf den anderen Tischen haben uns überzeugt. Der Geschmack war 100% und sehr aromatisch. Bringt etwas Zeit mit, weil hier wir alles frisch zubereitet.

Das ist vielleicht der einzige Kritikpunt, sie haben Tomaten und Zwiebeln etc erst bei der Bestellung geschnitten, Das könnte man vorher vorbereiten; vielleicht war an dem Tag vorher viel los und bereits alles leer. #Veganuary

Pros: Ambiente , Geschmack und Zubereitung

Delicious!

Iedere keer weer perfect! Soms gaan we hier alleen koffie of thee drinken met een heerlijk stuk taart. Gisteren hebben we kapsalon en een broodje kroket (bitterbal) gegeten. Het was weer heerlijk! Het is een genot om een hele menukaart te zien waar alleen maar vegan opties opstaan.
Personeel reuze aardig, ruimte gezellig ingericht. We komen graag weer.

Vegan bitterballen

Came here for lunch with a non-vegan Dutch friend and he said the vegan bitterballen is identical to the traditional meat-based version! We both enjoyed our meal. Cozy atmosphere in town center.

Pros: Friendly staff, Cozy environment, Healthy food options

Wow, simply fabulous!

The food was so good at this place. I ordered the special ‘Floriade’. The sweet potato fries with rendang flavored beetroot was delicious. The brownie and banana bread looked mouthwatering good as well, but the ordered dish filled me up too much to have one of the other snacks. Would definitely come back to taste those as well 😍🫶🏼.

Pros: Vegan is standard (cowmilk for coffee available), A-m-a-z-i-n-g taste!, Nice vibe and lovely people

Zo'n gezellig café!

Als eerste: de staff is zo vriendelijk! Ik voelde me gelijk prettig daar en het was zo'n leuk interieur!
Het eten was simpelweg perfect. Wij hadden een Mocha met havermelk wat voor mij precies goed was aangezien ik niet de grootste koffiefan ben.
De taartjes waren zo lekker ook. Perfecte hoeveelheid boter creme en interessante smaken.

Pros: Alles kan vegan worden gemaakt, Super mooi café

Cons: Niets

Nice for takeway options

During the lockdowns in the Netherlands, we wanted to support small businesses.
We had a Christmas brunch and an Easter brunch.
Both very good value - lots of food which was way too much for two people in one sitting, very nice and freshly prepared.
I had cake and coffee at the shop last year and it wasn't that special, though.

Pros: Good location, Good takeaway options, Everything is vegan
