Cute old farm house changed into a cyclists’ and hikers’ cafe. Seats outside on a a nice lawn next to a bunch of fruit trees. Would be great with even more trees. A perfect spot to stop halfway or so on my trip.

Mooie tuin en ideaal om even te verpozen tijdens een fietstocht of wandeling. Zeer vriendelijke en correcte bediening. Enkel gedronken en was zeer gezellig zitten

We came upon this cafe after the tire of my vintage road bike was punctured by a stray piece of gravel on a nearby country road. Although they were closed, the owner came outside to offer his bike pump (and his expertise!) and got us back on the road super fast. Very kind, super atmosphere, excellent service!
