8 fun breakfast hotspots in Utrecht

Café Elize

Chances are you'll feel right at home at Café Elize. Fun fact: the place is run by two sisters, whose mother is named Elizabeth. Elize's breakfast is the best choice (if you're feeling particularly hungry), consisting of a charming platter with a variety of flavors and ingredients. Mariaplaats 44, Utrecht – elize.cafe

Rhubarb Petit Café

Rabarber is a great place to hang out all day long. In the morning, we have a regular: their brioche toast with cashew cream and strawberries. Zadelstraat 20, Utrecht – rhubarb-utrecht.nl

Bakery Mischa

Brand new and already known for its delicious pastries and excellent coffee: Bakkerij Mischa. After trying their sourdough bread, you'll never want anything else, and their coffee is also fantastic. In short: a better start to your day is hard to imagine. Samuel van Houtenstraat 22, Utrecht – Instagram

There are places you return to again and again, and Tijm is one of them. From early morning until late at night, they're at your service, with the most delicious coffee, matcha, and unique breakfasts. Donkere Gaard 3 & 5, Utrecht – tijmutrecht.nl

Keek Utrecht

At Keek, everything is organic and homemade. Their scones are amazing. You can take our word for it, but in this case, you'll want to try them yourself. They have no fewer than three locations, one of which is a coffee bar/lunchroom and two bakeries: Twijnstraat 23, Oudegracht 362 & Springweg 16, Utrecht – keekutrecht.nl
