For good bread, you need to go to Everyday Bread & Coffee, as the name suggests. They have a wide variety of options, with delicious sweets, savory sandwiches, a wide vegan selection, and of course, sourdough, all homemade.

Here, right in the city center, you can enjoy the best coffee in Zwolle, including a delicious breakfast. The café also offers a wide range of lovely items for the home and as gifts. Chances are you'll leave with well-filled bags (we speak from experience).

Delicious sandwiches and organic ingredients: there's little reason not to visit this cozy spot. Good to know: they also offer takeaway and catering. Tip: try the homemade banana bread; it's wonderfully moist and flavorful.

This cozy spot is always busy, as Gillende Keukenmeiden has been a household name for years. Their cakes, in particular, are highly acclaimed, but their high teas and extensive breakfasts are also a hit. A must-see if you're in Zwolle.
