Hotspots: Broei Utrecht

If you've read a couple of my latest Hotspots posts, you'l probably understand why I'm such a fan of the Oosterkade & Westerkade in Utrecht. Across Koffie Leute, which I wrote about here, you'll find Broei, a creative place where you can enjoy coffee, food, books & art! Every Sunday you can join gamenight with your friends where you can even bring your own favourite game!

Another thing which I think is really cool is their "Wall of Frame". An exhibition wall where you can find and buy the work of several talented artists like illustrators, photographers & graphic designers. How nice to pick out your favourite artwork while you're enjoying a cup of good coffee or a nice lunch! You can find a lot more creative & original events on the agenda of Broei like workshops, concerts and "La Table Longue" where all the tables are pushed together and you can enjoy dinner with the other guests.

Hotspot Goede Vrijdag Utrecht

A couple of weeks ago I showed you the hotspots "Koffie Leute", "De Kledingbibliotheek" & "Urlaub" in Utrecht. Today I'd like to show you another hotspot in this interesting new neighborhood. Goede Vrijdag is based at this little bridge keeper's house which is completely transformed into a spectacular coffee bar. The guys at Koffie Leute advised me to pay a visit to this special place and I'm glad they did! Not only is this a 

remarkable location tot start a coffee bar, the interior is definitely original. 

The guys who started this coffee bar are graduates from art school and made almost everything themselves. I love the unpredictable mix of artifacts, greens, kitschy porcelain and art projects. Every two weeks there's a live performance at their cosy basement as well! When you're in Utrecht, go and check it out!

Hotspot Koffie Leute Utrecht

This weekend I visited one of my favorite city's Utrecht for some hotspots! I started at this new & awesome coffee bar called "Koffie Leute". It's housed at "Druk", a place where different creative entrepreneurs have established their unique company. You can follow workshops at Urlaub, borrow an outfit at "De Kledingbibliotheek", buy organic soap at "Werfzeep" and learn all about the perfect cup of coffee (or just enjoy one) at Koffie Leute! What a great place! The interior of this coffee bar is a mixture of vintage finds and fun oddities which create a homely atmosphere. I think I've said enough, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves! Definitely a place that I want to visit again!
