Barista Cafe Zwolle in Wijk 10 Binnenstad

Service was mediocre, took a long time, and they seemed irritated, even though there were only five people on the patio (and no one inside). The cupcakes we ordered were delicious, melted, and warm.

Nice coffee, very nice cafe! Also open on time...

Good coffee and pastries Friendly servers

What incredibly friendly and helpful staff!! It was immediately noticeable that they were truly in tune with each other and worked exceptionally hard. I had the absolute best sandwich!! 😋😋😋 that's a keeper!! Both the sandwich and the barista!!

Enjoyed a Barista breakfast today. There was a lot to choose from, and everything was delicious. The cappuccino was also delicious, and everything was served with a big smile! Highly recommended for breakfast or lunch if you're in Zwolle. If I'm ever in Zwolle again, I'll definitely stop by for lunch.

Delicious coffee, with a smashed avocado sandwich. Fast service, nice and polite staff.

A place in Zwolle in a busy location. Nice in itself, but rather unusual that they only serve snacks after 2:30 PM, and you can't order anything after 3:30 PM. I wouldn't put anything on the menu then. The service was also very slow, and we had to ask for the menu after about a 15-minute wait...yes, and it wasn't busy at the time. Then the drinks: they simply weren't good enough. There was an overabundance of caramel at the first sip. It was unstirred at the bottom. It's strange that if you order a blender coffee, it's not blended anymore; I think that's best for the taste. The special pistachio latte...expensive, not great. Chunks in your coffee because of the strange pistachio shape they use, and it lacks flavor. It's unpleasant and stiff to drink. It doesn't have the good coffee flavor that comes through, and it lacks any real quality. They also said there was white chocolate in it? That was really lacking in flavor. All in all, not good enough, especially not for the price. It has potential, but it's still lacking in service and some finishing touches.

Today I got a delicious ice cream late. Staff is friendly. Air conditioning in the store. Toilets are nice and clean. They also have many alternative milk options which is nice.

Excellent coffee. Very busy on Saturdays

Nice little place, but I didn't think the food was that great.

Lovely seated on the terrace. Enjoy the sun and enjoy delicious food and drinks. We noticed that the staff was not at all concerned with the guests and that they were constantly talking to each other, but they did not have time to clear tables.

May 2025. We come here every month, but unfortunately you notice that the quality is really deteriorating. It remains a lovely terrace in the sun, but the coffee is no longer as tasty (watery, not spicy) as it was, neither is the apple pie (watery, tasteless and without a crispy crust) and without indicating it, whipped cream from a wholesale syringe was also served with the apple pie (which we would not have ordered if we had known this). Really a shame. The club sandwich was fine by the way. September 2024: we come here regularly, but so far the least experience. Coffee suddenly has an aftertaste and is not spicy, not what we are used to here and even the apple pie was really less, little taste and watery. Shame. € 18.50 for 2 coffees with fresh apple pie with whipped cream is fine, but of course not if the quality deteriorates! Rather…. Always a great cappuccino with apple pie. Nice place and cozy terrace. It took a bit of time, but that is more the rule than the exception these days. June 2019: today it was 30 degrees on the terrace in a lovely cooling breeze. Service smooth and delicious apple pie. September 2021: good experience again, delicious coffee and cake on the terrace. April 2022: lovely sitting on the terrace again.

delicious food. really recommended

Long wait for the food, otherwise fine

Very full. Slow operation. Also a mistake in order.

Had a high tea with 8 people. It was delicious! Super tasty snacks, tea water was always refilled, there was so much to eat that we couldn't eat it all. No problem, a doggy bag was brought and the leftovers could be taken home. The avocado sandwich was recommended, so delicious!

We had a High Tea for 8 people and it was a great success! Everything was super tasty and well taken care of! Very friendly staff and cozy atmosphere! We will definitely come back!

We were vacationing in Zwolle and had breakfast at the Barista Café. We had the barista breakfast and the croissant waffle, also known as the croiffle. 🙂 We found both beautifully presented and delicious, and the service was friendly and attentive. I'm deducting a star for the ambiance because, upon our arrival, a table had apparently been abandoned for a while and hadn't been cleared promptly. On the table, two pigeons were enjoying two glasses of whipped cream, shaking their heads so hard that they repeatedly splattered cream all over the surrounding tables and chairs. One particularly affected chair then played musical chairs at various tables during our stay. 🙈 It was entertaining for US. 😏

We had the homemade smoothie (very tasty) and the Nachos deluxe. Tasty, but too bad the sauces were more or less "whipped up"; We would rather have these separately so you don't have to eat a sauce. Otherwise we had a great time there.

Nice tent! Different types of coffee. Delicious pastries. Casual atmosphere. Relaxed. Recommended.

I got a delicious oat milk latte. Friendly staff. I liked everything.

Lovely coffee and cakes, well worth a visit.

Cozy cafe with friendly staff. Delicious dishes and nice coffee.

Nice menu with many different options (meat, vegetarian, vegan) and a separate children's menu. Very neat and friendly staff. A play area for children in the back. The cakes also looked super delicious, we will try them next time.

Had a nice high tea! Very friendly staff (particularly compliments to the funny and friendly male employee). The high tea takes careful account of what you can and cannot eat during pregnancy.

The best coffee in Zwolle!! The cakes are also irresistible 🤗. Mmmmmmm see you again soon🥰

Truly a great lunch, but I still have a lot of trouble with the fact that payment can only be made here by card. As an entrepreneur, I believe that you should accept all types of (legal) means of payment. Especially for small amounts to pay for a coffee or lunch. For that reason also one/two star(s) less. Unfortunately, for this reason I would not come again anytime soon.

Whenever we go to Zwolle, there is always a good chance that we will have lunch here. Somehow there is always a spot available. Tasty lunch, lots of different choices (which also change regularly) and nice people. Recommended!

Very bad cafe I really don’t recommend it to anyone I ordered squeezed lemon with water and salt and their brain didn’t understand it even when I explained for two times and they brought me a water with small piece of lemons insides and I didn’t expect to drink it and they didn’t even apologise

Tastiest (Australian) cappuccino ever. Tasting pastries is extraterrestrially delicious. Compliments for the friendly service. The light could be dimmed a bit.

It was really fun, but it was very busy and therefore very busy. But nice place! Definitely come back!

Delicious cappuccino and a chocolate drink. Nice atmosphere here.

Always a tasty drink, tip: Blue butterfly latte! Food is also good here!

Cozy branch of barista Café. Compliment to the staff... friendly welcome, very attentive. A cheerful team that works and approaches everyone cheerfully. Delicious food and delicious hot chocolate. Highly recommended.

Nice place, in the best city, with supurb coffee.

All kinds of coffee, juices, cakes and savouries. Also suitable for sandwiches/salad and lunch. Usually very busy on weekends and then you get the feeling that you are sitting at the table with the neighbors. Not cheap, but tasty. The decor is attractive. Play area for the children available. Right in the city center, so no parking space in front of the door.

All of those pictures I’ve been taken in different days. So you can see how much I like this place Barista Cafe. Stuff is always friendly and helpful! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

The coffee is excellent, both the flat white and the capuccino. But for supplying a small glass of tap water, the otherwise friendly service charges 50 cents per glass. When asked, this is not done everywhere at Barista, but it is done in Zwolle. These big-city antics in a provincial capital are reason enough for us to have our next coffee somewhere else.

It took a while before we were helped, but it was worth the wait.

Very cozy, both inside and outside on the terrace. Very tasty food with bread and very nice coffee, super cool. Highly recommended. 👍👍👍

We only had a coffee which was ok, but the inside of the shop isn't really nice. Everything already worn out and no daylight.

This place has the best drinks and some very solid food options as well. Service is overal very good and they're pretty fast. However, I can't rate this 5 stars because I wouldn't say it is very neurodivergent friendly. It is VERY loud inside and it does often feel a bit cramped. I like to check the menu beforehand if I want to have food as well, as I like to be prepared which helps with anxiety. However, when I asked for their Barista Breakfast, they told me they don't serve it after 12 (it was about 12:30). While this is absolutely fine, the issue is that this wasn't listed in both their physical AND digital menu. This abrupt change in plans was something I really struggled with, so it would be great if this can be changed!

I regularly come for lunch or a cup of coffee at Barista Café in Zwolle. During my last visit it was a bit busier and I was slightly bothered by the acoustics. Besides that, the interior is attractive and the menu always offers a nice, varied selection. Compliments to the sweet and alert employees!

The worst piece of banana bread I've ever had. So dry and without taste as if it had been there for a week. How can you sell this? It's a real shame I didn't take a photo of your crumbly banana bread. Then everyone could see it here...

The place to be. To catch up after or during a day of shopping.

Crème brule coffee is highly recommended. Restrained operation.

Just had a cup of coffee in this large and attractively decorated barista cafe. The coffee was very tasty, but very expensive (€ 3.90) per cup. These are prices for the big city, so not in proportion. Had a lovely lunch. The staff are very friendly and hospitable.

Heerlijk terras, goede cappuccino en het lekkerste bananenbrood ever. Mooi plekje in hart van winkelcentrum om even in je eentje te landen

We drove into the centre without knowing where we were going, found a parking spot and strolled down the street and found Barista Cafe. A great find, friendly and great food.

Super cozy place for lunch. Staff was very friendly and the food and drinks were super tasty. Highly recommended.

Delicious coffee, passionate staff and a relaxed atmosphere.

Very good coffee and friendly service. The café is a long, narrow tube with no natural light. It is very loud. The staff often carries clattering crockery boxes and full garbage bags through the narrow central aisle. There is a play area, but it is placed directly behind a single table. Whoever sits there is besieged by strange children, while shy children don't dare play with strangers. The idea of ​​the cake tasting plate is nice, but in reality it's 3 x 2 bites of some cake that was probably left over, with some dry edges too. That's a bit cheeky for almost €10.

Ik had een Wrap besteld. Van te voren gevraagd of deze melkvrij gemaakt kon worden en dat was geen probleem. Ook toen ik mijn wrap had ontvangen nogmaals gevraagd of het melkvrij was en er werd verteld dat het melkvrij zou zijn. Helaas toch een heftige allergische reactie gekregen kort na het eten waardoor we snel naar huis zijn gegaan. Toch erg jammer dat ik door een fout van een ander, nu een allergische reactie heb gekregen.

Een gezellig barista bar met vriendelijke bediening. De cappuccino is erg lekker en de appeltaart is vlak van smaak. De sfeer is een dikke plus in de barista bar. Je ziet dat iedereen zich voelt alsof ze thuis zijn.

Had a delicious breakfast, friendly service, nice coffee and tea 5 years later and another breakfast here. Still very tasty and good service 😀

Friendly staff, dietary requirements are also taken into account

Cozy place for a nice cup of coffee. Quickly served and enough space to sit comfortably.

Good and cozy tent. Friendly service. I didn't expect a white bun with my dish. More of a choice

Op zaterdagochtend uitgebreid ontbeten. We hadden de uitgebreide ontbijtplank. Heel lekker en vers! Lekkere yoghurt en super koffie! Het roerei met tomatenchutney (?) had voor mij niet gehoeven. En een halve croissant oogt wat sneu. (Een minicroissantje zou mi gepaster zijn) Veel jonge gezinnetjes met kinderen: gezellig druk zo s morgens. En het was gezellig druk. Bediening was vriendelijk en prima.

Good coffee. Banana bread did not quite meet expectations.

Nice coffee shop. Pleasant ambience.

Nice and cozy decoration, you can sit comfortably there. Ordered a cheesecake with coffee. Served cup of coffee was half full. Asked the staff and at the bar if this was their usual amount of coffee. Their answer: “yes, this is normal”. And that was the end of it. Expected a different response.

Excellent food and nice coffee. It's nice that you can also choose from the breakfast menu for lunch. Please note: you cannot pay in cash here!

Good coffee and delicious apple pie!

Leuke plek, beetje hipster. Prijzig.

Good drinks and cakes. However, the acoustic of the interior is not the best, and the place is very loud. Recommended if you sit outside.

super leuk café in het centrum van zwolle, heerlijke broodjes & vegan opties

Lekker koffietje gedronken maar ging wel vroeg dicht helaas.

Wir haben am 29.10. zur Mittagszeit noch einen freien Tisch für 4 Personen bekommen (2 Erwachsene, 2 Kinder 14 und 9). Die Atmosphäre war toll, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Auch das Essen hat uns gut geschmeckt: Wir haben unter anderem Club Sandwich und Pulled Chicken Wraps gegessen. Der Service hat leider nicht zu unserem guten Gesamteindruck gepasst: Es hat sehr lange gedauert, bis unser Tisch abgeräumt wurde. Die jungen Mitarbeiterinnen sind mehrere Male an unserem Tisch vorbei und haben Teller und Gläser trotzdem stehen lassen. Bei einer Bedienung hatten wir den Eindruck, dass sie das sogar absichtlich macht und nicht an unseren Tisch kommen möchte. Als wir sie ansprachen um Kuchen und Espresso zu bestellen, schickte sie eine andere Kollegin vor, obwohl sie selbst auch Bestellungen aufnimmt. Das fanden wir ziemlich unhöflich und vor allem unfreundlich. Kein Blickkontakt, kein Lächeln, obwohl wir sehr freundlich waren. Das haben wir als deutsche Touristen in den Niederlanden so noch nicht erlebt. Sehr schade!

Die Getränke sind sehr gut, aber das bananenbrot war nicht so lecker. Der Tisch und der kinderhochstuhl war nicht ganz so sauber. Ansonsten sehr kinderfreundlich mit Spielzeugen und hochstühlen für Kinder.

Heb daar ijskoffie gedronken met een stuk cheesecake. De cheesecake vond ik erg matig van smaak. De ijskoffie zat denk ik vol schoonmaakmiddelen ofzo. Hij smaakte vies en had een erg rare samenstelling van substantie. Wel heb ik na dit kenbaar gemaakt te hebben een nieuwe gekregen, deze was merkbaar heel anders! Daarna ook last van mijn buik gekregen en heeft mij dus ook doen besluiten 2 sterren te geven. Er kan wat mis gaan, maar dit zag je zonder te proeven. En mag je nooit zoiets uitserveren.

Als ik de review lees ben ik ergens anders geweest. Druk vandaag, want herfstvakantie (in het zuiden des lands). Het café is een pijpela en als het vol zit dus een 'gezellige' herrie. Maar daar moet dan nog een boenke boenke dreun overheen. Bestelling redelijk vlot opgenomen. Maar dan een sandwich carpaccio..... Bedolven onder 'truffel(?)mayonaise. Een kleffe kledder. Tafelgenoot heeft een clubsandwich met een half bord chips erbij (?). Als toetje een espresso, moet kunnen in een Barista Café. Lauwe bak prut dus. Jammer, maar daar kom ik niet meer. Overigens niets aan te merken op de bediening.

Vond appelgebak niet lekker en zeker voor die prijs niet voor herhaling vatbaar

Gezellige plek om te lunchen. Mooi opgediend en vriendelijk geserveerd. Eén minpuntje qua eten, te rijpe/bruine avocado waardoor het best bitter was.

The food is tasty. The service comes to the tables quite quickly. The food arrived warm although it had been on the shelf for a long time. The waitresses didn't hear that the food from the kitchen is ready for pickup. But it was still warm and tasty. Service nice and smiling. The restaurant is pleasantly decorated.

Top koffie met lekkere gebakjes. Echter duurde de bediening wel wat lang. Maar dit kwam omdat het drukker was dan verwacht. Tenminste dat neem ik aan gezien de bezetting op dat moment. Laat dit je niet tegenhouden deze plek te proberen omdat ik denk dat dit een moment opname was. Nogmaals de koffie (en gebakjes) zijn top!

We komen hier al jaren elke paar maanden. Na heel veel lunch- en koffietentjes te hebben getest, hebben we nu een vaste stek! Goede koffie, heerlijke taartjes, sapjes en lunch. Wij blijven komen!

Heerlijke cappu met appelgebak. We waren op een regenachtige dag waardoor het binnen superdruk was, personeel had het allemaal goed in control. Tafeltjes wel wat dicht op elkaar. Sfeervolle zaak.

Ideale locatie voor kinderen om te spelen. Goed gegeten.

Ik had een matcha latte besteld maar deze was helaas met veelste hete melk!

Prima cappuccino, te nuttigen op het terras met voldoende zitplaatsen in een gezellige winkelstraat.

Helaas; normaal altijd fijn bij andere Barista Cafés maar in Zwolle deze keer teleurgesteld. De 'proeverij' van gebak die bestond uit een stukje bananenbrood, half koekje en stukje carrotcake (opzich qua hoeveelheid niets mis mee!) was ontzettend uitgedroogd. Dit is niet hoe vers of 1/2 dagen oud bananenbrood smaakt. Ik heb het laten staan. Ook de ijskoffie caramel met erg vette slagroom heb ik nog lang last van gehad in mijn maag. Ik plaats niet snel zo'n review maar dit was echt wel benedenmaats voor baristacafé, bijv in Breda of Gouda heel erg goede ervaringen...

Was heel druk daardoor erg lawaaiig. Gebaks trio viel erg tegen.

Koffie was prima maar trio van proeverij gebakjes was tegenvallend.

Cozy cafe, nicely decorated; simple but warm, giving a nice homely feel to the place. Would say this adds to the asmosphere however it was quite busy making it sometimes difficult to have a conversation. The service is great eventough the place was packed we were helped quickely and with a smile. Seemed very organised. Went in for a coffee/tea with something sweet. Outstanding coffee, the tea was okay but not on par with the coffee. Sweets were okay. Would definitely come back for the coffee, the location and service. Just a nice place to be.

Supergezellig, ondanks drukte, vlotte en vriendelijke bediening. Lekker relaxed in een huiselijke sfeer.
