📚 A cool cafe in the bookshop/library ☕️ Decent coffee and cakes (👍tarts/carrot cake) 🍰 🥰 Super friendly staff 💻 Laptop friendly at a bar table on weekdays Service Dine in Meal type Breakfast Price per person €1–10
For some reason I was told by the waiter I can't use my laptop on the regular tables, only on the counter although that is not depicted on any signs (correction, there's a small sign by the register). I don't like to be told what I can or can't do as a paying customer so I won't be coming back here for sure. Meal type Breakfast Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3

The coffee is as cold as my ex's heart. The ambiance gives you that 'visiting grandma's house' vibe, if grandma was a minimalist who didn't believe in comfort or joy. The cafe sits with the ironic charm of a wolf in sheep's clothing, nestled under a library that radiates warmth and welcome, much like a mirage in a dessert. If you're fooled into thinking you can enjoy a peaceful read with your coffee here, think again. This place is as cozy as a dentist's waiting room and about as welcoming as a tax audit. The waitresses here have the kind of charm that would turn Medusa to stone. During my visit, they shooed me away from the bar seat like it was a private club for Friday's laptop-haters. Tried to sit at another table with my laptop? Nope, laptops and iPads are the café's public enemy number one every day of the week! In short, Venstra Cafe is as delightful as finding a raisin in your cookie when you're expecting chocolate chip. It's absurdity incarnate, and if that's your cup of tea—or should I say, your lukewarm cup of disappointment—then by all means, venture forth. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1

Desserts were a bit too sweet. Other than that, it was good. Service Dine in Meal type Other
I really like the atmosphere of this cafe. If you're bringing your laptop with you, and need power plug, sit on the bars. The cafe is divided into two sections if you see that there are not enough.
Bad cake, ordinary coffee and terrible service!They literally kick out the customers from the tables when they finish their drinks. A very weird mentality to understand for an American. Service Dine in Meal type Other Price per person €1–10

Coffee taste is good but it is usually “warm” not “hot”. Staff steams a large amount of milk at once and uses it as needed. Awful. Milk should be steamed per order and maintain around 70 degrees celcius and slightly more for take away. Not sure if they are even properly trained baristas. I saw and asked if the milk was hot as it was sitting at the counter and the rude male employee touched the cup and said yes. Lazy. If it was in fact correct temperature he wouldn’t be able to touch it so easily. My expectations for coffee in the NL is low but please, warm/lukewarm coffee is bloody awful.
