From the kitchen

I trained in Lyon and missed it terribly — but the moment we found this old room on the Oudegracht, I knew this was where the bread belonged.

The regulars

People who queue before eight

I've walked past three other cafés to get here every morning for two years. The flat white and an almond croissant — that's my whole personality now.
Marieke — regular since 2022
Sophie's sourdough ruined supermarket bread for me. Forty-eight hours and you can taste every one of them.
Tomas — neighbour on the Oudegracht
Rens remembers my order and my dog's name. This is exactly what a neighbourhood café is supposed to feel like.
Priya — Wednesday regular
