Great charming vegan spot - Edit
This place is so popular. It is a very small but very charming place. There are only 2 small tables for inside eating. We ordered for take away and we ate outside in the sunbeams. Unfortunately the kids ate and drank their vegan pistachio croissants and the homemade juices before I could take a picture. I tasted the last bit of it and it was really delicious. The Danish pastry I had was also very delicious. For drinks we had a flat white and cortado. Lots of Italian people ordering the foccacia's. These looked also very fine but I was not that hungry in the morning.

I’m fan of this place - Edit
They offer the best focaccias I’ve tried. I especially like the ones with pistachio, artichoke, sweet potato, mushrooms, pumpkin, mozzarella and eggplant. The Autunno, N’duja, Ciccia, pear, peach, Tre formaggi, Caponata and Olive focaccias are nice as well. They also have great regular and filled farinatas, made of chickpea flour.
Read moreMost of their pastries are tasty as well: pastel de nata, vanilla layer pie, carrot cake (the regular one, not the gluten-free version), swirls, danishes, pain au chocolat, fig pie, apricot beignet and chocolate chip cookies with tahin.
Decent are their croissants, cheesecake (more sticky than creamy), apricot/berry pie and banoffee pie.
Their regular pastries are usually a lot tastier and more moist than their gluten-free ones.

Eindelijk vegan banketbakkersroom - Edit
Lekkere selectie zoete en hartige broodjes / pizza's. Vooral de amandelcroissant was erg lekker. Vult ook goed. Het is wel een kleine ruimte dus vol is vol, maar je kan ook gewoon meenemen. Ik ga zeker nog eens terug om de andere dingen te proeven!
Read morePros: Zoet en hartig, Speciale broodjes

Tasty focaccia - Edit
I've been meaning to go to Life's A Peach for quite some time now since it has some really good reviews. I went for an olive focaccia and a pastel de nata. The focaccia was pretty good, not mind-blowing but still nice dough and taste, and it was great that they warmed it up. The pastel de nata was excellent! Probably one of the better ones I tried.

Nice for a lite bite - Edit
We stopped by and had the “Pere” and the “special of the day”
Read moreThe special was beetroot and tomato with a cheese and the Pere was pear, walnut, feta and onion.
They were warmed up upon order and had great flavour and a great crunch to the focaccia.
Well worth a visit for a lite bite.

I had an onion focaccia and a pistachio croissant. Both were delicious.
Read moreIn fact, they were so nice I ordered every single other pastry option as a take away. And what can I say, they were all amazing. I particularly loved the pastel de nata.

Gorgeous - Edit
The whole place is a work of art, from the designs by local artists inside ready to buy to the gorgeous focaccia and pastries.
Read moreThe focaccia is their speciality - light, soft, a loose crumb, not too oily, and just delicious. There's a selection to choose from and you can't really go wrong!
The pastel de nata are incredible, easily besting all others I've tried, including non vegan ones! The creamy, sweet filling is held by a buttery crisp pastry and is absolute perfection!
Pros: Everything is delicious, Also sells work of local designer's, Low / no waste cafe

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

Cardamom swirl 3,90€
Read morePlum foam iced matcha 5,80€
cup to bring back 1€
I really should've tried savoury options! They looked amazing. They have fresh tarts and focaccia.
The cardamom swirl was soft, buttery flavourful and nothing like you've had before.
The matcha sadly tasted watery and boring itself (maybe I needed sugar...), but the foam on top was sooo good!! I loved spooning and mixing it in. The menu said raspberry but they only had plum - which was totally ok for me. You are also asked to choose between a paper cup or a hard plastic one, which you pay 1€ extra for and get back again as you return it! So sustainable!

My fave lunch spot - Edit
I live in Utrecht and I always take everyone to Life's a Peach if we go for a relatively quick and delicious lunch. I have loved all their focaccias so far, as well as their homemade lemonade.

Pastel de nata very yummy and the matcha was great, although be warned the raspberry foam on the special is more of a thick cream - still delicious!! Five stars
