Nolita

Anyone who loves a sweet breakfast should try Nolita. Their pancakes are the best in town. Want to start your day with something a little less sweet? Then choose one of their bowls or sandwiches. Van Welderenstraat 22, Nijmegen – nolita-nijmegen.nl

Buuv

Buuv is open six days a week from 9:30 a.m. – not for the super early breakfasters, of course. Our standard order: full-fat farmer's yogurt with fresh fruit. And if you're really hungry, of course, pancakes on the side ;-). Hazenkampseweg 312, Nijmegen – buuvnijmegen.nl

Gesha

Gesha is a cozy coffee bar by the water, where you can also enjoy a delicious and relaxing breakfast. Try their extensive breakfast platter with all sorts of delicious treats. Kaaisjouwerskade 206, Nijmegen – gesha.nl
