Secret Garden Bakery in Wijk 28 Centrum

A brunch just the way we like it: beautiful, delicious, and perfectly balanced. The feta, tomato, and cucumber croissant was a real surprise, fresh and delicious. The avocado toast? Generous and perfectly mastered. The perfect boost to start the day.

Great food, tasty cocktails, good service! Don't understand the negative reviews, our experience is always positive here.

The food here is unbelievably good. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere very nice. I always come here for a brunch with my friends.

When it first opened I thought ‘that looks nice.’ Unfortunately, the exterior has been poorly maintained since then. Cushions on the terrace, menu cards and the plastic blossom on the facade have all faded due to the weather, giving it a shabby look. As an entrepreneur you should continue to invest in your appearance, I think, but perhaps they don’t have the money for it. I was the only one on the terrace to order a water coffee and panini mozzarella via the QR code on the table. Then other people came to sit on the terrace and they got their order first because they had placed their order inside first. I had to wait a very long time and eventually went inside to ask if my order via the app had come through. It had. So I don’t understand why all those other people got their drinks and food first. By the way, the person who brought it outside completely ignored me. No hello, good afternoon, nothing. But hey, it can happen, it was Saturday and I was in no hurry (but thirsty and hungry). After a long time it arrived. The water and coffee were fine. The panini was a disappointingly soggy sandwich. I suspect understaffing or other problems that made it not go so well. I still give 5 stars because I do not want to harm young entrepreneurs in this way. Still, I hope they will take the review as a point for improvement. Maybe I will come back someday to see if that has worked.

Lovely, warm and welcoming. Nice little place.

Nice place to have breakfast. A bit of hassle with QR code orders, but dishes are delicious and the staff is friendly. It's not cheap, keep that in mind. You eat on the terrace almost in the middle of the street with everything driving around it, but I actually really liked that. You can also sit inside if you want to eat a quieter meal.

Small café in a side street. Definitely Instaworthy, food was super tasty and the service was super nice. Very cute cafe.

Quiet side street Service a bit slow But the cheesecake was sensational!!!

If you need a calm yummy brunch or coffee spot in the middle of the centre of den haag, then you should visit this lovely place. Truly my favourite place to come and calm my mind and have an extremly yummy meal. The capuccinos are delish with or without sugar. The staff are always so friendly and warm and calm. I love this place too much to gatekeep.

We took a short break here with coffee and croissants. The croissant was average. You order and pay online. Nice service

Super sweet, cozy place. Delicious avocado toast and latte. Really helpful, friendly staff. Got here soon after it opened on a Saturday and we were the first customers, but it almost filled up by the time we left at 11. Deserves better than a less than 4 rating.

Delicious carrot cake. Good espresso. Kindest service. Beautiful place!

Very cute little cafe in The Hague. Direct online ordering and payment, so you don't have to wait for service. Super friendly and delicious paninis!

Went here for a quiet breakfast on a rainy day and it was such a cozy vibe. We had the French toast, croissant and coffee. The staff were lovely and helpful and we will definitely be back

Pretty café with cakes and warm small dishes.

The salmon sandwich was delicious. The atmosphere was pleasant and the staff was nice. Definitely worth repeating

The place looks very pleasant and we were greeted with a smile. However, after sitting for 10 minutes in an otherwise empty restaurant, we were asked if we’d looked at the menu, only to be told it’s a QR code menu - bad start in my book. 10 or so minutes after that, we still hadn’t been served. Turns out we needed to order via the website even though the staff weren’t busy. This is always hugely off putting and unfortunately increasingly common. Hospitality should value interacting with customers but this place doesn’t value this opportunity at all. It all very impersonal. The food was decent, nothing special. I’m not used to good value here but the extra charge for the lightest sprinkling of cheese was a genuine surprise.

Cappucino is like ditch water, thin and tastes nothing, worst coffee I have had I can say, and the sad thing was that I had to wait 20 minutes. No service at all. Staff is a bit hovering more than providing service

Unfriendly and expensive for what you get. Piece of cake 5.80.

Fantastic little gem! I had a little speculaas cookie coffee and probably the nicest egg and avocado on bread I've had in my life. Definitely will return! Oh, and the location is cute too, and the staff was lovely.

Told I had to order through the QR code... then someone came in and ordered without it... The carrot cake was 5,80 and very very bland. The brownie was fine, gooey and sweet. In total one of those "instagrammable" places not in it for quality or service.

it s a goto little café for healthy or not options when I am in Den Haag: love it

Nice atmosphere went for lunch with my niece for birthday. She loved the chocolate pancakes and the mocktails. See you soon with my own daughter

Super tasty pancakes! Large portions and you feel full afterwards. It is very beautiful inside and there is a peaceful atmosphere

Drinks and food arrived quickly. I had a pulled chicken panini and the inside was still cold and the outside temperature was not really interesting. Girlfriend had pancakes with fruit, but the pancakes had little fruit on them. We won't be back anytime soon.

Cute little Cafe. Great smoothies.

1 star is actually too much. Bad tent. Wait 1 hour for your drink and then get cold coffee. They hadn't even started eating yet. It is not hygienic and really a very dirty place

I had a nice meal here with my little son, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was quiet and friendly employee, cute place, looks nice, definitely recommended to have something to eat or drink here.

Slow service, but worth the wait

Bad service, they take no responsibility if there is something wrong with your order

You get your plate, served very nicely, all very neatly until you start eating it. I came across a long hair, I reported it, I was served a new plate with hair still in it and GLASS!!! Went to the cash register again and reported that I still found hair in my food and with a glass, the answer I received was that I had thrown the glass into my plate myself. Shameful, I will never come here again, what kind of service is this?

Nice quiet place, lovely music and nice food

If you want glass in your food you should definitely go here and if you want food in your food what happens here in this place is disgusting avoid this place

It was absolutely delicious. Great Breakfast, nice interior and Great service

Such a cute place, the food was delicious. I had the chai tea and an avocado toast.

This is scandalous. If you want to visit the doctor, I would definitely come and eat here. There were just pieces of glass and all kinds of leftovers in my food!

Very nice thing! Dropped by today with a friend and had a cheesecake with an iced coffee. Excellent prices and a good, not too busy, environment. I would love to come back! 5 stars! :)

Coffee & brownie were very tasty. The service was quick & friendly.

Cute place but food is average.

Unfriendly ridiculous service. I found her in the pan of cakes, they took it away from the kitchen instead of making new ones. Never again for us. Employees are very antisocial

If you want to eat well and find glass and cooked food in your food, you can come here. After this outing, visit the emergency room and dentist.

Glass in the food, don't eat here before you know it, you will also get glass and hair in the food Really terrible

Delicious glass in your food, you should be ashamed of yourselves, your company should be closed immediately

I didn't order a glass on my food, but I got pieces of glass with it. I looked at the menu but didn't see that they served broken glasses. Apparently it is sauce, between your food you can find small pieces of glass of sauce. Go to the hospital immediately after one bite.

If you want glass in your food, eat here...

If you want to die you should definitely come and eat here folks. With your pancake you get a free piece of glass and hair (depending on what you look like of course)

Found glass and hair in the food

Wouldn't go here if you want a trip to the emergency room afterwards. They are not hygienic. There's hair in the food and bits of glass. And if you say something about it, you are told that you can leave. Don't go here!!!!!

Cute place with nice staff but the food was quite underwhelming. The avocado hummus sandwich looked nothing like the picture and they serve it with a laughable pile of undressed salat. Overall not worth the prize.

Waiting an hour for scrambled eggs, toast and coffee even though there are only 4 guests around. Never heard of good service

Quaint place to have coffee, sweets, or a small bite. Very limited gluten free, dairy free, vegan options. I think 3 in total.

Cute little café with a lot of homemade food, recommended for a short break if there is space

Unfortunately the food was really not that good but far too expensive. 12,50€ for a bowl with not a lot of ingredients and preheated Falafel etc is not worth the money. The staff seemed really stressed and annoyed and it did not feel comfortable or welcoming. Sad - because it could be a cute place for a lunch or cake and coffee

Definitely a women's tent. Cozy and cozy. The food was good. Coffee was good too

Nice location, nicely decorated, I've been there a few times but the air conditioning hasn't worked since last year! Sweltering hot inside, big minus! Also had to wait more than 20+ minutes for food which also arrived cold, unfortunately. Not a child friendly place! Not intended for children!

Totally friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and delicious smoothies!

Unfortunately, the food was not fully cooked and the balance between pancakes and fruit/sauce was difficult to find. Potentially a beautiful spot. Maybe we were unlucky...

Terrible service, overpriced and bad egg This is the second time I went there and both were bad. The service wasn’t good, one of the staff was even rude. I ordered the club Sandwich and the egg and cheese in it was really bad (like rotten bad) it smelled and tasted awful, I only took one bite and couldn’t even finish it. ( I wasn’t the only one who tasted it). went and told the staff about it and one of them was extremely rude about it and almost shouted (We can’t take it back). The owner should reconsider the team. Very bad experience! The coffee was the only good thing, but never again.

Nice thing. Beautiful tasty drinks.

Had breakfast here with my friend, it looked really nice, the rooibos tea was delicious, the hot chocolate was anything but warm. We both ordered pancakes and they were a bit tough, but you got a lot for the price tasty nutella and strawberries. There was no way to lock the downstairs toilet.

Most cozy café I know: lovely decorated, comfortable seats and sweet personal ☺️ We will come back whenever we are in Den Haag again 😍

Looks great tastes good but price vs what you get it's a bit expensive

Went here to wind out after work, was nice. Both the atmosphere and menu selection. Great for 2-3 people hang out place. Some vegetarian/vegan options available. Overall: would recommend for a couple hours talk and small bites

A great breakfast! Great ambience. Delicious breakfast!😊😊

The food is amazing and the service is friendly 🤝

Ik kom hier jarenlang en bestel vaak de wentelteefjes. Ik merk dat de marscapone steeds minder word wat erg jammer is. Als je een opmerking over maakt wordt er gezegd dat je voor extra moet betalen. Dan neem je maar extra. Maar het probleem is zelfs de extra waarvoor je extra betaald is ook zo weinig voor de prijs??

Hele mooie, rustige plek in centrum Den Haag. Heerlijk eten en fantastische sfeer! Ook vegan/vega opties beschikbaar en de cakes zien er heel schattig uit.

Leuk ingericht tentje. We hebben worteltaart en red velvet cake besteld. Ze waren beide lekker en de suiker was erg in balans, niet te zoet dus. Lekker huisgemaakt.

Amazing hot cocoa and strawberry cheesecake 🩷 would recommend ! It’s very small inside as well.

Nice coffee. You need a fone to order and to pay. No fone, no coffee I think 🤔

Lors de notre séjour à La Haye nous avons eu l’occasion de passer par ce petit café pour prendre un petit déjeuner. Le café est situé dans les petites ruelles du centre très jolie quartier. Le café est bien décorée ( un peu girly) , par contre niveau nourriture nous avons pas été fan du tout. Les photos sur le menu digital donnait bien plus envie que ce que nous avons reçus. Les plats étaient fade , nous avons choisie une omelette au épinard et légume et un toast avocat , vraiment aucun goût nous avons ajouter énormément de sel et poivre pour avoir un peu de goût mais même comme ça c’était vraiment sans goût. Prix excessif pour ce que nous avons reçu sur table. Beaucoup de bruit sur place ce jour là , peut être le mauvais jour pour nous.

Sehr schönes Café mit toller Einrichtung. Liegt etwas versteckt (secret?) in der Den Haager Innenstadt. Ein schöner Platz zum verweilen.

Food was good, but service and waiting time was too long! waited 45min to get what I ordered. And my friends ordered 5min later got it after 30min after me. So one hour and 15min in total to get what I wanted

The presentation was very bad. It’s kind of an insult. Just some kinda dry pancakes with a splash of not fluid nutella on it with very few, thin sliced bananas on the side. Really disappointed.

Valt mee. Laatste tijd enorm achteruit gegaan

Great place, friendly staff and good food

+++ Freundliche Bedienung +++ Schneller Zubereitung +++ Super Frühstück. +++ Gesund und lecker.

Cute place, cosy and fast paced service with QR ordering. The food was fair and nice drinks as well. Worth a visit.

Das Frühstück war toll, was mir persönlich aber gar nicht gefällt, ist, dass man die Karte und die Bestellung nur übers Smartphone durchführen kann

Ambiente an sich nett, leider war die Milch vom Latte Macchiato viel zu heiß und kaum trinkbar. Bestellung nur online (kein Tischservice) war uns auch länger nicht ersichtlich.

Ein sehr schönes Café. Die Paninis schmecken sehr lecker genau wie auch die Bowls. Alles sieht sehr ästhetisch aus. Bis das Essen da war hat ein bisschen gedauert aber das warten hat sich gelohnt. Ziemlich kitschig gehalten aber wer eine Freundin hat die sowas mag ist hier richtig.

The place is super cozy and nice inside. The staff was very friendly and the variety of dessert and pastries is big (but on a Sunday afternoon, when most of the things were out of stock). The carrot cake was a little bit too sweet and did not taste like carrots but that's a matter of personal taste.

Leuk, hip tentje in het centrum van Den Haag. Het eten vonden wij wat prijzig, maar wel erg lekker. Er was voldoende zitgelegenheid zowel binnen- als buiten op de zondag ochtend. Je kan alleen bestellen via een QR-code.

Super schattig tentje, prima chai latte en oké eten. De service? Matig.

Afgelopen weekend hebben we hier heerlijk gegeten. Het is super mooi aangekleed maar de service was behoorlijk slecht waardoor er een grimmig sfeertje hing. De bordjes van de QR codes werden gewisseld waardoor er veel verwarring ontstond bij het personeel. De bordjes had de serveerster zelf verandert terwijl sommige mensen (waaronder wij) op de oude QR codes hadden besteld. Dit resulteerde in veel bestellingen die naar de verkeerde tafels gingen. Dit kan natuurlijk gebeuren maar de houding, het gezucht en gepuf van de serveerster maakte het er niet gezelliger op. Er was zelfs een tafel waarbij een meisje aangaf dat ze twee water had besteld en de serveerster gaf aan dat dit niet zo was en liep stug weer verder. Vervolgens kregen wij twee water die we niet besteld hadden. Al met al was de service bijzonder slecht en ik heb zelfs nog nooit zo’n houding en attitude richting klanten eerder gezien.

I went to this place because the place I intended to go across was closed. I wish I skipped going there because the food was average (i.e ordered a pancake- came with very little fruit) service was poor and it was expensive.

Central location, pretty and the presentation of everything served is adorable. On the other hand, it is overpriced. The catalogues are only in digital form, thus not easily accessible to the older people of our group, so I assume for others as well. The red velvet was very good but the only pastry they had..

Zeer leuke plek om te lunchen. Decor is heel schattig roze met goud, echt een Pintrest plaatje. De werknemers zijn erg aardig en behulpzaam. Heb erg genoten van het eten, je kan merken dat het met passie word gemaakt en de ijskoffie is een must try! Ik heb erg genoten om hier te lunchen, zeker voor herhaling vatbaar!

Leider ist es mit der offenen Küche sehr laut sonst sehr schönes kleines Kaffee

Nettes kleines Café, mir ist die Deko etwas zu kitschig aber jedem das seine. Den Punkt Abzug gibt's für das doch etwas Laute Ambiente (Geschirrspüler Teller- und Tassen-Lärm)

Very cute cafe. delicious food and nice atmosphere. Went there 2 days in a row

Simplemente perfecto. Simply perfect

Kuchen und der Kaffee wahren super und erst einmal das Ambiente haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt dank des sehr freundlich en Personals.
