Bagels & Beans Lunch Review

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 06 Aug 2020 16:30:00 +0000

After a day of shopping we decided to take a break at the Bagels & Beans in Leiden. This restaurant mainly focusses on bagels (of course) and coffee. It was our first time at Bagels & Beans and we both had never eaten a bagel before. Therefore we were very interested in how a bagel would actually taste.

We first ordered two Lattes which were delicious. Thereafter we ordered a sourdough bagel with wild salmon and a warm whole grain bagel with goatcheese.
The bagel with salmon was very tasty due to the combination of creamcheese with chives, capers, onion and lettuce.

The bagel with goatcheese tasted also really good but we only thought that there could be a little bit more honey on it. Nevertheless, the whole grain bagel tasted amazing and the walnuts and thyme on the goatcheese gave it an unique flavour.

We had a great experience at this restaurant and we were happily surprised by the taste of the bagels. Therefore we would definitely visit Bagels & Beans again to grab some lunch.

Barista Café Leiden – Review

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 16:30:00 +0000

In a monumental building in the middle of the city centre of Leiden you will find Barista Cafe Leiden. In this cafe, you can enjoy delicious coffees, breakfasts and lunches. They also have a beautiful, centuries-old courtyard terrace where you can enjoy the sun whilest enjoying a nice cup of coffee.

We started our afternoon in this cafe with a cappuccino and a latte. The waitresses in this restaurant are very kind and the coffees where absolutely delicious!
Since we were quite hungry after a day of work, we decided to order something from the lunch menu. We ordered the Club Sandwich and the Smashed Avocado Sandwhich and both of them tasted as amazing as they looked.
The Club Sandwich was incredible. The combination of roasted chickenfilet, oven-baked Coburgerham, lettuce and chopped cucumber together with brown bread made this sandwich definitely something special.
The Smashed Avocado Sandwhich was also really tasteful since the bread tasted amazing and the avocado and eggs were perfectly prepared. We also loved the pomegranate seeds on this dish because they gave it a fruity and fresh taste.

Finally, chose to go for the Iced Coffee Regular. The coffee tasted sweet and since it was quite a warm day, it was the perfect refreshment!
We had an excellent experience at this cafe and therefore we recommend this place to anyone who is in for an amazing cup of coffee or an extensive lunch.

Alsur Café El Born – Review

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 02 Jul 2020 16:30:00 +0000

In the El Born district of Barcelona lays Alsur Café El Born. This café is a mix of a bar, lounge and a terrace. So no matter what your intentions are, they always have a seat for you! That is why their slogan is: “Whatever you want, Whenever.”

We found this place online after their pictures grabbed our attention. Since we were in the neighbourhood, we decided to give it a try and we went out for lunch. We sat down in a cosy corner where we had a good overview of the place, well.. one of the places. The café is huge! But what surprised us the most was the menu because they have an unique selection of dishes and snacks.

We saw for example a waffle with grilled-cheese and one with chicken. We hadn’t heard of this combination before and therefore we decided to give it a try.
The dishes had a very unique and delicious flavour which we still can’t understand. We absolutely loved it!
Since we love beers, we had no choice but to order a local craft beer.
We choose the La Niña Barbuda (brown ale). The beer tasted amazing as well and we were happily surprised by it.

Alsur Café El Born is an outstanding place with a lot of options on their menu. If you are in El Born, you should definitely swing by this Café. Even if it is only for a drink. It is definitely worth it!

Velusso Cycling Café Bruges

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 26 Mar 2020 18:30:00 +0000

The Zilverpand in the city centre of Brugge contains a very cool café named: “Velusso Cycling Café”.
Velusso is a English company who offers different cycling related activities in Europe. We did not know that it was a cycling cafe, until we started writing this review.
We noticed the café when we were strolling around in the city. We were searching for a cozy place to drink a cup of coffee and this place looked really appealing to us.

The interior is quite industrial and it is adapted to allow cyclists to fuel up. From changing rooms to a place to stall your bike, as a small store with some cycling equipment. This café has it all!
We sat down inside and ordered some coffee. The waitresses were very kind and they made beautiful latte art in our coffees. We talked a lot with each other and before we knew, we had spent hours inside Velusso.

If you are in the area, make sure you stop by and order a nice cup of coffee or something to eat.

Annie’s Leiden

Nick Riethoven — Fri, 14 Feb 2020 18:00:00 +0000

When we announced that we were going to post a review about Annie’s we were overwhelmed with responses. All of them were very positive.

Annie’s is a unique restaurant located in the city centre of Leiden. If you have ever visited Leiden, you will know that the city has a lot of beautiful canals. Annie’s is located on one of them and it has a wonderfull terras and cozy inside seating areas. Everyone knows Annie’s and that’s for a reason. The quality of the food, service and the unique location make Annie’s a “must visit” in Leiden! You can’t say you have visited Leiden if you haven’t been to Annie’s.

We visited the restaurant in the afternoon to grab some lunch. We started off with a nice cappuccino and a cup of mint tea. As our main course we ordered a goat cheese sandwich and carpaccio. The goat cheese sandwich was incredibly good. This course contains 2 big slices of creamy goat cheese, honey, a brown bun and some veggies. After my girlfriend finished her course, she almost ordered another one . My carpaccio was also very good. It was quite a large portion with some brown bread and parmesan cheese. It was one of the best I’ve ever had! The service was also very good. The food was served on time and the staff were all very polite to us.

If you’re looking for an amazing spot in Leiden to eat, go to Annie’s! We can be very short about that
