Koffiestation Books & Coffee — Restaurant in Groningen

I go here very often as I have my office around the corner and I like to meet there with colleagues or just enjoy a cup of matcha. They do a good, affordable matcha latte, that is, if they have matcha. They regularly run out of it and then it takes a month before they have new supply, which seems to me just bad business. Normally staff are really nice, but there is this one guy who is just not cut for customer friendliness, which is also confirmed in other reviews. I understand the laptop policy to some extent when having people with laptops only take one drink in hours, which is not very respectful to the establishment. I do think there are other, more customer-friendly methods that are also respectful to the business. But then, even when I respected the laptop policy and came with my e-reader (not a laptop! not even an iPad!) to read a book, it became a big argument with that waiter with arguments that do not make a lot of sense. An e-reader is actually more like a book than a laptop, on which I can write a few notes. In a place where people sit all the time with binders and notebooks to write, and even books to read as it is a book-friendly café, an e-reader should be ok too since the activity is just the same. Instead I was forced (and am still forced) to read my book on my phone. It is such a shame because the atmosphere is otherwise great and I know that staff is doing their best, although sometimes I also sit there without being acknowledged by a waiter for a...

Great coffee, nice atmosphere, good location and very friendly staff. Right next to the academic building. Their coffee never disappoints, from their batch brew (filter coffee), to flat white, and Americano, their coffee is of high quality, granted. I have also been using their beans at home for my daily V60 dose, each single origin is even better than the other. My most favorite has been definitely the coffee beans from Kenya, and most recent purchase is the one from Peru (their newest in their supply). Plus the delicious good quality coffee, the place has a great atmosphere to be working, studying, or just chilling with other friends. A tiny tip is to have your device charged before going there since there is no where to plug your chargers (only a single socket). Prices are reasonable, in my opinion. Highly...

So what and a say. Firstly I have no complaints at all. It’s been a while since I decided to leave a review and honestly it’s because there is no point to leave a review for my favourite cafe in Groningen. My go to spot for incredible coffee, an amazing atmosphere and the perfect place to meet with friends, take my journal sit, sit in a corner and have some me time while not being so alone. The staff are amazing, kind and welcoming. It is the northern vibe of relaxed. There is no rush. You can sit down and just decompress while just living life. There is laughter, happiness and pure joy and you can feel that when you walk through the doors. So yes there in my mind is no need for a review as there is nothing wrong with this amazing little cafe that is my spot amongst a...
