🇳🇱｜Hidden Gem in Eindhoven

I can’t believe no one on Xiaohongshu has posted about this place yet—it’s an absolute hidden treasure in Eindhoven! 🌟 If you’re looking for a chill, wholesome weekend activity, head to Philips Fruittuin (Philips Fruit Garden), a charming orchard with a cozy pancake café, fresh juices, and a delightful farm shop. Here’s why it’s worth the visit: 🍽️ Pancake Paradise Under the Sun The star of the show is their pancake café! 🥞 They offer an insane variety—from classic sweet options (think powdered sugar & syrup) to savory creations (like bacon, cheese, and mushroom). I went for the apple-cinnamon pancake (made with their own orchard apples!) and it was heavenly. The best part? On a sunny day, you can sit outside in the garden, soak up the rays ☀️, and enjoy the peaceful countryside vibes. 🧃 Fresh, Homemade Juices & Farm Shop All their juices are pressed from their own fruit—the apple juice is crisp and refreshing, while the pear juice is subtly sweet. They also have a small farm shop selling fresh produce: seasonal fruits, veggies, jams, and even homemade pies. I picked up a jar of strawberry jam (made with their summer harvest) and some crisp pears—perfect for snacking later! 🌳 A Stroll Through the Orchard After eating, take a leisurely walk through the fruit trees (it’s not huge, but very picturesque). If you visit in spring, the blossoms are gorgeous, and in autumn, you can sometimes pick your own apples! � 🚲 How to Get There? By bike: ~20 mins from Eindhoven city center (perfect for a little ride!). By car: Free parking available. By bus: Check 9292.nl for routes (it’s a short walk from the nearest stop). 💡 Pro Tips: Go early on weekends—it’s a local favorite and can get busy! Cash or card? They accept both. Bring a tote bag for all the goodies you’ll buy at the farm shop. Final Verdict: This place is Eindhoven’s best-kept secret—a perfect mix of good food, fresh air, and farm-fresh treats. If you love slow, wholesome weekends, this is your spot! 📍 Philips Fruittuin Opening Hours: Tue-Sun, 10AM-5PM (check their website for seasonal changes).
