Douwe Egberts Café in Centrum

Even though it's the hottest day of the year so far, you can still be kind and not so arrogant!!!!!

Delicious coffee with social deal

Cozy cafe with very friendly staff! The coffee and pastries were ready quickly and tasted delicious! Highly recommended!

Bad business and customer friendliness is hard to find. Used a strip card via Social Deal, which was valid until the end of March, this was not stated when redeeming or visible on the strip card. No understanding from staff for this. Won't go here anymore, often enough I've had a weak container with whipped cream, which they want to sell for €5 each. Heavily overpriced and can recommend other coffee shops, such as Doppio and Black & Bloom. We no longer visit Douwe Egberts.

Nice conveniently placed cafe. Plenty of cakes on offer and the coffee is very good. The cafe is a lot larger than it looks as there is a large area at the back. I liked the decor apart from the stripped wall that was dusty.

Price/quality is really not the best. You can't sit down for lunch either because it's full of laptops all day. Staff is friendly.

Everything great. Well prepared food and good cafe. Smoothie top and ambience too. No loud music etc. Just chill

The café was very welcoming. A nice place to take a break. The coffee tasted excellent. The service was great.

A consistent high quality experience, which justifies the more expensive costs.

We are a bit older and I find ordering via the QR code very cool and cold. We told the lady ourselves that it was tasty and a nice thing, hence the service 1 star

They give lactose in coffee and food here after specifically requesting lactose-free, which clearly does not work well. In addition, it takes them 1.5 hours to even make a simple coffee. Definitely not recommended

Employees would like to be more interested in new guests when they arrive

So kind and sweet workers here, we forgot to order take-away but they didnt mind that and immediately remade our order. Ambiance was cozy and peaceful, thank you to the girl that took care of us!🫶🏻

As always amazing coffee. Definitely recommend the gingerbread capatino amazing

Delicious latte machiato with a flavor...

Delicious coffee and specials (with real whipped cream) but very pricey. The choice of pastries is not large.

Homemade apple pie + enjoyed a nice cup of coffee.👍🤗

Nice place with different types of seating areas and cozy interior. Delicious coffee and pastries. Pastries are fresh and very tasty. It is often busy and it is convenient to place your order at the cash register

My favorite working cafe. Cheese cakes are really good.

Fff and make (delicious) coffee. Relaxed atmosphere to consult your i-book, or look through some reports, or just have a nice chat. Not really cheap 2xcoffee,2x pastry=18.50+tip makes 2 tens. Maybe that's normal in Groningen. But I just came from Italy, where you pay half, so I'm ruined

What a regression. Quality of the chocolate milk has deteriorated, ginger and mint are not fresh. We have been at least 200 times in almost 3 years, but today was the last time. What I think is worst is that there is a lot of disinterest on the part of the staff. There are holes in the walls, tufts of dust under the chairs, dead plants and a broken lock in the ladies' toilet. You're losing a regular guest.

This is possible for a quick cup of coffee. Not for fun. And the cookies and sandwiches are very pricey.

Very great café, good and cozy atmosphere, friendly and attentive service. Delicious breakfast with cafe. Price/performance top. Child-friendly, but unfortunately only one high chair in the restaurant.

Had a super tasty breakfast...satisfied all day...more than enough! You can sit there relaxed, friendly service, worth repeating.

Douwe Egberts Cafe is located at Brugstraat 28 - Groningen Dining area is spacious , clean and neat Have indoor and outdoor area Environtment is cozy and nice design interior. Try Caffee Latte

Nice and pleasant place to have a coffee and enjoy a delicious dessert in Groningen. Its very original "archaeological find" style interior!

Nice place and coffee and food are delicious!

We had obtained a voucher for 2 ice coffee/ice tea. Once we arrived, the waitress who helped us seemed grumpy. I had a cappuccino with caramel syrup. However, the caramel was hard to find here... the ice coffee was not tasty. My husband's ice tea was delicious! The worst thing for me is that the blonde waitress was sighing and snorting when a new customer walked in. She clearly showed that she had no interest in customers. Even while taking her order she acted very disinterested. It is a fantastically beautiful restaurant but the atmosphere is nothing.

Cozy atmosphere, excellent service and tasty drinks/coffee

Come here to enjoy a cup of coffee for €4 and perhaps a sandwich for €10. But I haven't even opened my laptop for a second, but a lady shows me the door and tells me if I want to sit here I have to pay and she asks how long I will stay there. I just had my hot coffee and left quickly. Didn't see me again.

This is a great place for an informal business conversation. Sober, comfortable and the acoustics are good, so great for a good conversation. It was not clear to me how the service worked: pick up yourself, can you wait until you are served at the table or is there something with a QR code?? Anyway, in the end the coffee was fine and the service was friendly. Recommended for an informal business conversation in "City".

Coffee house furnished in a modern way in the style of the '70s and '80s of the last century. The order is made at the table using small tablets with a QR code, where you can order your culinary delight, which will be served personally by the waiter shortly afterwards... Very, very classy...

Centrally located, friendly and quick staff, delicious coffee, breakfast and cake are also offered, we'll be happy to come back ☕

First of all it must be said that the staff is always super nice and friendly. The rooms are beautifully decorated and give a peaceful impression. Perfect for flexible working. However, the final grade (a 2) is due to the laptop policy that employees have to follow, which they cannot do anything about themselves. I understand that they want to prevent you from using their WiFi/space for eight hours and only paying for 1 cup of coffee. But if I want to work for an hour and spend 12 euros on coffee and cake, charging an hour's price for laptop use is ridiculous.

Apple pie is apple pie with raisin cream in it. I think it's a wrong choice. But the coffee was good as well as the service

Nice place, but you have to order via QR or a machine and it doesn't provide much atmosphere.

Nice place to study, bit on pricey side.

Empty cafe is the result of new “study/work” policy. I used to love this place, I would come for 3-4 hours, got a few drinks, some food, and would do my things. Why am I imposed to pay extra although I spend as much time as another person who don’t use laptop? I would never pay extra 8-10 euros just to stay there on the top of paying for drinks and food. Delusional managers, please, wake up.

Love this place Legit one of the first cafés in the Netherlands that I have visited but the service and the drink was par excellence I came in with a dead phone was super worried that I may not get home and was not sure if the Dutch kindness would extend to letting me use their chargers and the two girls (Nikki en Marijn)at the counter were super nice and did not bat an eyelid but fetched a charger for me

Ridiculous that you have to pay 1.80 euros per person and per hour to have the privilege to study here. On top of coffee and drinks, it’s not student friendly and puts you off from coming back. Not a smart policy.

"DE office" in a student city? Where you pay €1.80/hr to study? This will just drive away the majority of your customers.

Used to be my go-to until this new policy. Love the coffee, staff and the environment but pay to work policy is incredibly frustrating, as there are no available cafes to work in after work hours. I get that some people occupy a table for a lots of hours which can be difficult to manage, but there is a studying space already in the cafe that regular customers won’t sit at- so why charge those want to work or study on top?

Nice place to sit. Always lovely people. A bit more pricey, but the best coffee in town. And no extra charge for decaf, which tastes good. The iced coffee is great!! Nice and creamy and well mixed with ice cubes. Could use a little more coffee next time, quite weak. With coffee popping pearls and caramel in it is also delicious. The crème anglaise topping is also very tasty! It's a shame that they don't have any cookies other than macaroons...

Until this week, I would have given a 5* review. However, they just instituted a dumb new policy, called DE Office. Basically, if you want to come to work or study, you pay an extra €1,80/hr for the privilege. Each hour you get a stamp, after 8hr or 10hr (haven't confirmed which) you get a free coffee (so for €14+ spend). I understand that some bad customers ruin it for everyone, ordering only a single coffee or tea then sitting there 5hr taking up 4 seats. But this also penalises legitimate customers, for example if I come to work for 5 hours I'm probably ordering 3 coffees, some cake, and maybe a toastie too, so probably spending around €30+. Having to pay another €10 on top for use of the chair because I'm working is kind of an insult. If you wanted to sit and chat with a friend for 5hr, they won't be charging you this. It's a shame, because the girls who work here are mostly lovely (I feel sorry for them having to explain this new policy to disgruntled customers), the coffee is of a good quality, the carrot cake, mustard soup and toasties are tasty, and importantly for me, it's the only café open until 10pm (I like to work in the evenings). I guess it's back to the library for me, and it feels like a lose-lose situation for all involved. It wouldn't be so bad if it was implemented differently, e.g. every euro spent on a time card could be used towards the value of food or drink; this could still be effective because if someone is just coming to work here for the atmosphere rather than the coffee, then they're either going to pay for the time or go elsewhere (and the cost price of serving coffee is not that high anyway), while people like myself who also buy products could then convert the time cost to additional products, even if that's a bit of a hassle. My bet is that this policy will kill off most of their afternoon and evening business that came from people like me, and that they'll just be busy at late morning and lunchtimes now with standard lunchtime business. Oh well...

Very slow service, coffee not special :( shame!

Coffee is delicious and the atmosphere is cozy

I came here to get a cake and to my horror the lady behind the counter grabbed the cheesecake with her BARE hands... there was not a spatula or anything to be seen anywhere. And that's after she took my cash. Otherwise a nice tent, very nice building. Tasty food but pricey.

I regularly study there. Nice place for that, because the environment is nice! The coffee also remains and the choice is great! What strikes me a lot now is that empty tables remain full. Water jugs cannot be refilled and the toilet is not maintained very well. The recipe for French toast is also different each time... sometimes it has butter, other times it doesn't...

I ordered a cheese sandwich..... 8.95 further and got 2 rolls with cheese mashed in between which was done in the oven. Very bad. I could see it being prepared. I don't feed my dogs like that yet. Unmotivated lady, and bad bread. Not even worth a euro. Unhygienic and not according to HACCP and without love. Never again

Cafe and cakes are great with a reasonable price range for students . Good place to do tasks and reads . Food wasn't my taste though .

Good coffee & very friendly staff!

Prices high as we are used to from THE café, but you also get an attractive tent in the center in return. I always find ordering with a QR code very easy and it works well. The apple pie did not taste like apple pie, but more like pudding pie. Was there a lot of baking cream? incorporated. I thought it was a shame.

A great cafe for coffee or breakfast. The coffee is really good and the food was excellent. Great service.

Yum! & Best carrot cake in Groningen

Marijn helped me very well! Fristi was nice and cold.

It's a pity that, despite the fact that there are only a few people in the café, you have to order your food/drinks yourself via your phone or via a device (a la McDonalds). That makes it very impersonal

I love here! One of the cafe that feels similar to my home. Large environment and enough desert variety. (One of the few places l find cheesecake 😍)

Excellent customer service: ordered a meal with coffee from Thuisbezorgd, got a fresh whipped cream put on my coffee in my house 👍👍👍The food and coffee were excellent as well

Leuke en mooie tent. Maar zorg asjeblieft dat er een leidinggevende op de vloer komt! Grote chaos!! Totaal niet druk maar de meiden kunnen het niet aan. Overal vieze vaat en mega lang wachten op een kop heet water en een frisje…

Beetje afstandelijk en soms wat onervaren medewerkers, maar fijn plekje om rustig de heerlijke ontbijtplank te nuttigen.

Een daalders plekkie, met heerlijke latte macciato mmmm

Echt veel te druk en/of veel te weinig personeel. Heel lang gewacht op een kop koffie en nog veel langer op een veel te koude appeltaart. We hebben medelijden met het personeel.

Fijne plek om koffie te drinken. De taart en muffin waren wat droog. De rest was wel lekker

Lang wachten, erg duur en personeel lijkt niet op elkaar ingewerkt te zijn.

Te chaotisch met dingen voorbereiden. Het idee dat ze de drukte niet zo goed aan kunnen.

Wayy too cold inside. Also asked for takeaway got for stay in order Had to sit in the cold inside (too uncomfortable to ask again)

Nice coffee. A bit dark with heavy atmosphere. Polite but cold stuff. Unfortunately, still need to pay extra for plant based milk.

Lekker tot rust komen bij Douwe Egberts na een lange dag. Altijd goede kwaliteit koffie en een gezellige sfeer. Daarom zijn we trotse en al jaren vaste bezoekers, bij alle DE cafés. 🩷

Horribly overpriced for the sub par service.

Wij hebben het geflikt om van de ene uiterste punt van de stad naar de andere uiterste punt te lopen voor een kop koffie. Dauwe Egberts, één van de bekendste koffie merken! Aldaar aangekomen 2 kopjes koffie besteld, de sfeer doet oudhollands en authentiek aan, direct betalen bij bestellen, dit is wat minder, het geeft direct een soort onvertrouwen in de klant. Het heeft, ondanks directe betaling, ongeveer minuut of 6-7-8 geduurd voordat we de koffie kregen. Opgedronken en direct het café uit! Why? Dit kan toch veel meer aangekleed worden, er is een heuse koffiecultuur in Nederland. Koffie alleen voorschotel geeft die cultuur niet weer. Dit wat hier gedaan wordt wordt overal, bij elke café gedaan. Wàt maakt jullie bijzonder toch? Ik zie het niet!

Great atmosphere and service but a little bit over the budget.

Small, but very nice. The cakes are awesome. We took carrot and cheesecake. Yummy.

Beware of coming here close to closing time as you might be left waiting a while as staff sometimes forget you exist.

Ja mijn dochter wou er heen zelf vindt ik het niet bijzonder ,de koffie gaat wel en de chai latte hmmmm niet om over naar huis te schrijven de prijzen zijn wel hoog ,misschien ligt het aan mij masr ik ga liever naar doppio daar he ben ze lekkere koffie, het eten wij hadden een broodje oesterzwam nou dat was niet goed gebakken vond ik veel te zacht en ook niet goed gesneden de smaak ging . Niet mijn ding het zitten is ook altijd wat of je zit dicht op elkaar of je moet naar benden in de grote ruimte

We hadden een voucher van Social Deals voor een ontbijt. Waw, wat hebben we ervan gesmuld. Het eten was veel en heerlijk, de sfeer gezellig en de service top! Voor herhaling vatbaar.

We waren met z'n zessen en zaten in een hoek met meerdere kleine tafeltjes. We hebben voor alle 6 besteld via de qr code (telefoon). Na lang wachten kwamen er 2 drankjes en 2 gebakjes. Deze werden zo op tafel gezet en weg was de jongeman die serveerde. Aangezien er een aantal specials besteld waren was het een raadsel wat we nou ontvangen hadden. Daarbij misten de drankjes en gebakjes van 4 personen nog. Ongeveer 10 minuten later kwam dezelfde jongeman weer. Een beetje vragend of we meer besteld hadden, hij had nog 2 drankjes bij zich. Dit was inderdaad voor ons maar nog ontbrak er het een en ander. Daarbij ook maar even gevraagd wat we eerder nou hadden ontvangen. Hij gaf aan niet te snappen hoe het mis heeft kunnen gaan en zou er achter aan. Uiteindelijk heeft het nog wel even geduurd voordat we de laatste 4 gebakjes en de laatste 2 drankjes ontvingen. Ik had zelf gember sinaasappelthee met honing, uiteindelijk heb ik de honing niet gehad en zat er nagenoeg geen smaak aan de thee. De Latte Chai die we hadden besteld bleek een glas koude drank te zijn, terwijl deze in de lijst stond bij de warme thee. Uiteindelijk veel betaald, maar zeer slecht gevoel bij wat we kregen en hoe het verzorgd werd. Voor ons geen 2e keer.

Bestelling wordt op je tafel gekwakt, en bij een grotere orde werd er niet bij verteld wat wat is. Als je een koffiemok krijgt met slagroom en cacao poeder, dan lijken ze allemaal op elkaar. Ook de orde duurde erg lang, ondanks dat het niet bijster druk was. Beetje jammer,. Gelukkig zijn er zat andere koffiezaken.

Leider liegt es in der Fußgängerzone und hat nach vorne nur zwei Tische und an der Seite vier Tische draußen. Aber drinnen sehr gemütlich im hinteren Bereich sitzen oft Studenten die dort das kostenfreie WLAN nutzen, ich gehe dort gerne frühstücken oder nachmittags einen Cappuccino mit einem Stück Kuchen

Leuk cafe ondanks feit dat Douwe Egberts wat bittere nasmaak heeft met betrekking tot verleden. Dus ik zou de naam maar veranderen😀.

Leuk café, gezellige sfeer en vriendelijke bediening.

This is a reliable address for drinks. The food menu is limited and items range from good to mediocre. For example, the breakfast yogurt is good, as are the basic cakes and sandwiches. I would avoid anything complicated as there is no "chef", only a couple of young people who serve/prepare/heat food as required, and do everything else too.

Hele lekkere latte caramel en cappuccino amaretto met slagroom 😋😋 EN leuke bediening 👌👌

It is really good place to work , relax and coffee
