Travel Itinerary

Watch beans roast, learn pour-over tricks, and leave with a bag of their winter-spice blend—great souvenir.

Organic sourdough pancakes with beetroot-hummus, overlooking the canal boats—arrive early for best window seat.

Europe’s largest fabric market also hides stalls selling warm syrup waffles and oliebollen dusted with powdered sugar.

Vaulted ceilings, open kitchen, seasonal stamppot with smoked sausage—perfect midday warm-up before more snacking.

Hand-roll stroopwafel truffles and sample salty licorice while the chocolatier explains Utrecht’s spice-trade history.

700+ whiskies and genever; bartender pairs local apples, clove & Dutch honey in a smoked Old-Fashioned served under brick arches.

Vegetarian high-tea brunch with local apple-ginger juice served on the unique lower-level wharf terrace—watch boats glide past.

Pick up small-batch beans and a pastry for the train ride; their rotating espresso bar doubles as craft-beer taproom after noon.
