9x brunch in bed/on the sofa/in the bath

ontbijt op bed

Breakfast is somehow always tastier when someone else has prepared it for you. Even tastier when you eat it in bed too. How do you pull that off? Simply order it, of course. You can order these breakfasts and brunches from the comfort of your own home. Are you really allergic to crumbs? Then snuggle up on the sofa or in the bath.

Anne & Max

In Haarlem, Amsterdam, Utrecht, The Hague, Leiden, Eindhoven and Rotterdam, you can order a brilliant breakfast in bed from Anne & Max. It comes both in bowls – açai bowl, porridge or granola – and on plates with organic croissants, banana bread or a superclub sandwich. All ingredients are organic and/or sourced locally. Deliciously responsible.

Yoghurt Barn

Same cities, different brunch. In Haarlem, Amsterdam, Utrecht, The Hague, Leiden, Eindhoven and Rotterdam, you can also visit Yoghurt Barn for a yoghurt made to order. Healthy? Maybe. Or you can bury it under cookies. We recommend that. The Crazy Cookie, for example, is packed with Bastogne biscuit crumbs and cinnamon sugar – phew.

Bertmans

Brunch around the world from your bed. You can do that with Bertmans. This Rotterdam spot fills you up with a worldly brunch bursting with vegetables and fruit. The menu includes fruit crumble and coconut yoghurt, among other things. Or kimchi rice with egg for the brave. More into the Middle East? There’s also sweet potato rösti with avocado, tahini sauce and dukkah.

Bagels & Juice

If you like it than you should have put a ring on it. And they understand that in Eindhoven at Bagels & Juice. The name says it all: they fill a whole lot of round bread rolls here. Hot, cold, sweet, savoury. For southerners and Belgian customers, there’s also a smoske. A what? A sandwich from the south, loaded with fillings.

Soups & Salads

You can be lazy in Leiden at Soups & Salads, where they serve up a range of salads, sandwiches and soups. Hey, April does whatever it wants. Sometimes curling up on the sofa with a hot bowl of soup is heaven. Or simply a necessity.

Slagerij Vet

In Amsterdam, Slagerij Vet is said to serve the city’s most famous sandwich. Broodje Zeedijk, anyone? Smoked chicken with bacon, including Zeedijk sauce. Extremely suitable as hangover food. Just like their BLT, roast pork and ribeye sandwiches, by the way. For when you can’t even get out of bed anymore.

The Tea Lab

Rotterdam coffee sceptics fill their mornings with tea at The Tea Lab. Red velvet cake, peanut butter sandwich with cucumber and seroendeng, homemade granola, goat’s cheese salads, smoothie bowls, cold-pressed juices. Stack up your order to create the most extensive sofa brunch possible. Caffeine fans, don’t worry. They also serve a good cup of coffee here.

The Happiness Café

Eindhoven is the proud owner of a real breakfast bar and morning bakery, The Happiness Café. And this menu will make you happy. From matcha rice porridge to strawberry cheesecake overnight oats and a sweet potato muffin. At The Happiness Café, you can eat until you can no longer say brunch.

De Bakkerswinkel

In Utrecht, De Bakkerswinkel rules when it comes to sweet regional specialities. Wake up well with a whole range of treats: freshly baked bread, croissants, scones with clotted cream, cheese and cold cuts, and jam. Bed & breakfast brunch in your own living room.
