So after a long tourist-day in Haarlem I wanted to have one of these large glasses. Therefore we went back to this café and had on of the mentioned and a piece of cake. To cut a long story short: It was the best cake my wife and I have ever had (banana-caramel-cream). And while cakes in other cafés are often 6 or 7 Euros, it cost only 3,50!!! We are definitely going back there again in the last days of our holiday. Go there and try their cakes. They make them themselves. It's a MUST!!!

There were several choices and tasty options. The gluten free bread served was okay, but not surprising. The scones and the desserts were delicious. Service was sloppy and inattentive.

Ordered a white tea, and most of it was falling through the tea infuser and into the tea, which made it look messy. The carrot cake was not balanced well in flavors (very heavy on cinnamon), was a bit hard in texture, and not very tasty.
