I guess this would be more for the tea drinkers, but found this great cup on designmilk and thought it was quite sweet and would keep your cuppa hot. In Vietnam a few months ago, we were given our cups of coffee with the cups sitting in a bowl of hot water- to keep it hot. Not that keeping things hot in Vietnam was ever a problem...

In beautiful Delft, this place had a sign advertising itself as the "lekkerste" coffee in Delft. Although this kind of advertisement does not necessarily equate with good coffee, we thought we'd give it a go.

On ordering at the bar, first impressions were good. The shots looked nice and the milk smooth. The coffee's we received were good. The milk, although not shiny, was smooth; and the shot was ok, though slightly overdone.

First impressions of this place point towards decent coffee, as we noted in the preparations. So another visit will probably occur soon.

In a phrase: hopefully a good find.

Headed for the Grote Markt again, hoping for a nice cup at De Zwarte Ruiter. Unfortunately it was closed on Monday morning. So we tried the place opposite: De Boterwaag. Seating was either outside in the shared sunny courtyard or inside. Inside is a big open old factory type thing with high ceilings. Looked cool.

The coffee, thankfully after setting our minds on a good cup, was very nice. The coffee was strong and nice, but maybe a little over-extracted. The milk was silky smooth as well. Its amazing what good milk can do.

In a phrase: well worth a return.

De Klap is a Cafe/Restaurant situated outside the main city centre. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, it has both inside and outside dining areas. The coffee was nice and strong and the milk ok. Nothing extremely special about the experience but it was decent enough to plan a return.

In a phrase: nice setting, average coffee but better than most.
