Chatwick has become our go-to café and our favourite in Breda. We strongly recommend the almond croissants, big portions and a very well filling almond paste and flaky pastry on the outside (love the caramelised bottom). Overall, probably one of the best almond croissants we've ever had? Their pistachio cruffin and pain au chocolat, even though they were nice, didn't have enough filling to our taste. It's reasonably priced as for around 8 euros you can get a latte and a nice pastry. Beside incredible bakers, they are roasters and their coffee is the best in town: strong but very well-balanced. They do not charge extra for non-dairy milk. They also have a customer card that they stamp when you order coffee/pastry and you get 1 free coffee for every card you complete. It can get quite busy and the seating situation is a bit of a "free for all" as no priority for sitting is given to whoever is ordering first. Also, as it is not a big space and they have the ovens in the same facilities, when it's crowded, there is some condensation on its windows. However, it is definitely worth waiting to get a spot or dare to sit outside regardless of the weather. Their Christmas specials look yummy (tried some gingerbread/cinnamony roll and it was very nice).
Edit (September 2025): After a while of feeling unsure of the café's latest changes (staff, space, coffee taste), this new refurbishment and the new staff (especially the barista) have made us, as long-term costumers, very pleased. The new space is much more spacious and doesn't feel cramped (making us reminisce with nostalgia the initial appearance of the café with the coffee bar). The coffee tastes unique again. The almond croissant never disappoints! Prices have gone up, though! But we gladly paid! Only suggestion for improvement is to cover the pastry counter with some kind of shield as it's right in front where people...
   Read moreAfter visiting this cafĂ© four times, Iâve come to the conclusion that itâs overrated. Itâs usually very crowded and noisy, which makes it hard to enjoy the atmosphere. It feels more like a takeaway spot than a proper cafĂ© where you can sit and relax.
One major downside is the lack of clear ingredient labels. On my last visit there was no label at all, and the staff didnât explain the ingredients wellâI thought I was ordering something sweet with maple syrup, but instead received a savoury dough with bacon. I donât enjoy bacon served that way, and when I mentioned it, they simply said âsorryâ and ignored my feedback.
Itâs also difficult to tell from the display which items are sweet and which are savoury, as they are all placed together without clear separation.
The service isnât anything special, and the bacon/maple item was disappointing: a dry dough inside with just a bit of maple syrup on top and poor-quality bacon. The sweet doughs I have tried so far are better. The only things really worth mentioning are their coffee and the nicely baked texture...
   Read moreLove love love this place in Breda. Very friendly staff & great pastry for breakfast. The coffee is also nice . The only thing is that since they moved place the toilet is now behind the kitchen which is not very hygienic to my option . They should open the wall and make access from the side so guests donât pass through the kitchen . The old space was a bit nicer and more spacious and light but I understand that this space is for baking so itâs the best for them. I recommend the cruffins and cant wait for the fall to arrive so they will have the cinnamon apples ones đ. Definitely recommend this place . Amendment 2024. đđPlace has been refurbished and looks great now with all changes and direct access to toilets. The space looks lovely and bigger which is nice . Also some seats outside for when the sun is out or the smokers . Congratulations to your...
