Wow

This is incredible for slow, cozy mornings. No rush, amazing interior and friendly service. Don't even get me started on the delicious food!

Fresh ginger tea 3,90€
Breakfast crumble vegan 12€
Ferrero Rocher Tarte 5,50€

The crumble consists of a dark berry compote on the bottom and buttery crumbles on top, fresh and hot out of the oven. So comforting.
The tarte was perfect - rich, nutty, sweet. Although they work without refined sugar I think? Awesome.

Best vegan breakfast in haarlem!

The selection of vegan options was great and the lovely prepared dishes were a little highlight.

I had breakfast there twice and it was very nice both times. The Team was very friendly. :)

I was there on July 29 & July 30.

Incredible breakfast

I had the apple and pear crumble and it was one of the best things I have ever eaten. Incredible combination of flavours and textures.

Pros: Food, Good coffee

Cons: No soy milk (but oat, coconut and peas available!), A bit noisy

Lots of Vegan Options but on the Pricier Side

The menu was not huge, but had enough good vegan options (soup, salad, sandwiches). Service was extremely quick, but I do second the review that mentioned that staff seemed annoyed/sad? (I hope they're ok!).

The salad was fine (wide variety of textures and flavors) but didn't have any good sources of vegan protein. Some tofu/legumes or some side bread would have been nice!

I thought the prices were a bit high (€15 for a salad, €4.80 for a coffee with milk) but it's nice for a treat, especially since it's a central location in the city.

Pros: variety, well labeled menu, quick service

Cons: pricey

Delicious

Had delicious ginger tea on a chilly September afternoon. Was skeptical about the mango hummus open sandwich and the avocado chips, but they were amazing! My friend had a delicious salad.

Leckere Gerichte zu fairen Preisen

Der Salat war richtig reichhaltig und bunt zusammen gestellt.
Auch das Hummus Brot hat uns richtig gut geschmeckt.
Wir waren leider zu satt um noch die Kuchen zu probieren aber auch die Kuchentheke war sehr verlockend.

Pros: Geschmack , Vegane Kuchenauswahl , Üppige Portionen

Great selection vegan cakes

Besides the big selection home baked vegan and non-vegan cakes, there’s also enough savory choices for vegetarians and vegans. The vegan Dutch apple pie was almost as good as my mom makes it 😏

Pros: Selection of vegan cake, Apple pie, Staff

Great food but..

I shared a salad and a sandwich with my partner, the toppings are the stars of the food! Unfortunately my black rice in the Eastern Salad was a little too much al-dente for me, and I would have loved the carrots to be roasted a little bit more.
Also, the atmosphere was nice just for the interiors, the employees look annoyed/sad (?) and that made me a little uncomfortable.

Pros: Fresh flowers on the tables , Decaf coffee, absolutely delicious!, Matcha Latte with coconut, a real bomb

Cons: Mood of the employees , Hard rice in Eastern Salad , Hard carrots in Eastern Salad

Fried and Fresh

The broccoli and lentil bitterballen were served with a tasty mustard. I enjoyed the Eastern Salad, but would have preferred the carrots to be raw instead of cooked. The decadent Ferrero Rocher cake was made of cocoa, coconut, nuts, and dates instead of refined sugar.

Pros: clearly-marked vegan options, outdoor seating, menu available in English

Cons: no menu online

Super restaurantje in Haarlem

Hier kun je heel lekker lunchen of gaan voor een high-tea met taartjes. Een favoriet waar ik graag kom.

Cons: Je kunt niet van te voren reserveren.

Great place

At By Lima your money is well spent. When ordering a sandwich you get 2 thick slices of bread with a bunchload of toppings. Awesome. Cakes and coffee are also very good.

Menu changes regularly, which is great.

Get the tomato soup!!

Pretty amazing, and everything else we got was very fresh.
It's a pretty popular place tho' so don't even think of coming here on Saturdays after the swap meet, it was so crowded with so many people waiting that we had to leave.
So that's the only caveat for this place, it has a prime location and is quite inexpensive and very popular.
Good juices, a good vegan salad and that amazing tomato soup would bring us back.

Amazing and healthy

Such a lovely little bright cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Delicious vegan breakfast which was a matcha latte and mango/lime ‘triffle’ layered with fruit, soya yogurt, chia pudding and cashew/coconut granola, topped with fruit and flowers. Was sooo good and a lovely vibe to the cafe.
