No words - just go 😍😍

(Ok, HappyCow forces me to add words)

We shared 4 focaccias here and tried the pistachio 🥐. Everything was soo delicious. The croissant was out of this world. I want to live in this place! Go go go already!

Delicious focaccias and pastries!

Life is a Peach offers delicious focaccias and sweet pastries such as pastel de nata, croissants, and cakes, all 100% vegan. The focaccia dough is soft on the inside with a nice crispy crust. The Danish and almond croissants are tasty and not too sweet. The coffee also tastes great. It’s nice that there is now more seating available, but it fills up quickly. So, it’s smart to make a reservation or just take something to go. Definitely a place worth visiting!

Pros: Delicious focaccias and pastries, Good coffee, Friendly staff

Cons: Maybe a bit pricey

Decadent, indulgent and delicious. Go here if you’re in Utrecht - but get there before 13:00! Everyone goes so quickly! The pastel de natas disappear inside an hour of opening 😱

Pros: Creative flavours, Lovely staff, Alt decor

Soooo good!

The food was delicious. Couldn't have asked for a better meal. After we ate, we went back and got pastries to go! Highly recommend.

Great little café

Good selection of breads, pizza, and drinks including homemade lemonade. Seems to sell out of most items in the early afternoon, so stop by early if you can.

Pros: Homemade lemonade, Bakery items

SO good!

I had the focaccia cipolla and a pastel de nata and it was all very delicious! They were insanely busy today and it was chaotic around so it took a while but they were great about it. I will have to make it back here.

Pros: Delicious food, Good price

Excellent focaccias, farinatas and pastel de nata

They offer the best focaccias I’ve tried and offer daily specials on top of their regulars. I especially like the ones with artichoke, fungi, pumpkin, mozzarella, eggplant and peach. The Autunno, N’duja, Ciccia, Pere, Tre formaggi, Caponata and Olive are nice as well. They also have great classic and filled farinata, made of chickpea flour.

A few of their pastries are great as well: pastel de nata, carrot cake (regular, not gluten-free), danishes, swirls (cinnamon, cardamon, pumpkin spice, lemon/lavender), croissants (almond, pistachio and hazelnut), pain au chocolat, fig pie and apricot beignet.
Quite nice are their cheesecake (more sticky than creamy), cinnamon donut, apricot/berry pie and banoffee pie.
Some of their pastries taste bland, a.o. gluten-free carrot cake, banana bread and fruit crumble.

Satisfying, Sustainable, and Super Tasty!


I had the pleasure of trying the banana bread and the onion focaccia, and both were fantastic! The banana bread was moist, naturally sweet, and had the perfect balance of flavor—great with a cup of coffee. The onion focaccia was soft yet slightly crispy on the edges. Whether you're craving something sweet or savory, these two treats are a must-try!

Delicious pastries - lovely vibe

This is a lovely place - perfect for sitting in for a coffee and pastry or for takeaway.
We had a pastel de nata, pistachio croissant, danish pastry (jam and cream) and coffees. All were delicious, flaky pastry, perfect breakfast!

Pros: Great options, Friendly staff

Everything is vegan

They had such an incredible list of choices between savoury and pastry. All hand made all delicious! So bad that I’m not living in Utrecht , I’ll be a regular for sure.

very tasty focacceria

We opted for a selection of focacceria. We found them all very tasty (nice and fluffy). The cheese alternatives were delicious and had a good texture. For sweets, we ordered the pistachio croissant, pastel de nata and a cinnamon bun. All 3 were very tasty.

Closed Sunday 16 March

So disappointed to find this place closed when we visited today. It's supposed to be open on Sunday according to Google maps & the sign on their door but alas it wasn't. No explanation on their website about a temporary closure either. Not sure what's going on. Maybe call ahead to confirm that they are open.

Just wonderful

Amazing foccacias, warm, crispy and fluffy. The cornetto and pastel de nata were also just perfect. I also loved the flavor combinations (like cardamom and chocolate combo)

The bombolone, however, was not the best I ever had.

Pros: Perfect foccacias!, Excellent flavors

Cons: Bombolone was not amazing

A must visit in Utrecht

Such a hidden gem tucked away down a side street. They have incredible foccacia and pastries, often rotating their specials so you always get to try something new. Friendly staff, great atmosphere- a must visit!

DELICIOUS

Food is absolutely delicious. I visited many times and it never disappoints. The other day I had the most delicious vegan pastry of my life! I highly recommend Life’s a Peach.

The only small negative aspect to point out is the efficiency of the service. All the staff are absolutely lovely, however, a smoother service, especially in terms of timing, would really improve the overall experience. Having said this, I still 100% recommend this spot - it is a true gem!

quite disappointed

heard a lot of good opinions about this place, however for us it was quite a disappointed. focaccias were heated up in a microvave what made them soggy and chewy.

on the other hand, very cute interior.

Simply great

Small café offering fresh, home baked plant based pastries and savoury treats (focaccia and farinata), including some gluten free options.
We tried the mushroom and “goat cheese” focaccia, the farinata, the pastel de nata and pistachio filled croissant. All of them were very tasty. I personally had a big crush on the mushroom focaccia. Both sweet pastries were actually rather low on sugar, which is good from a health standpoint but could do with a bit sweeter taste (and with a stronger vanilla flavour for the pastel) in my opinion.
Service is very friendly and informative.
The café is small and has limited seating.
Coffee can be served with a choice of oat, coconut or sprouts milk.

Pros: Very good food, Large selection of savoury snacks and pastries , Friendly staff

Cons: Closes quite early, Small, hence limited seating

Delicious little gem

Lovely little cafe with delicious baked treats and good coffee. All plant-based and lots of choice. They seem very popular so definitely worth coming earlier on the day to avoid disappointment (they only bake a limited amount each day, which makes sense and keeps everything fresh). Not that much space to sit inside but there's a table in the back if you are with more than two people.

The best dessert ever, your sfoglia is outstanding!

Today there was a very sweet girl at the counter that wished a lovely day to a guest and that made me happy.

Pros: La sfoglia, Not too sweet, But very crunchy

Geweldig!

Heerlijk! Ik had een Danish pastry en de olijf focaccia. En keuzestress! Alles zag er superlekker uit. Heel knus zaakje, gezellige sfeer met plantjes en mooie muren. Aanrader!
