Luhu — Restaurant in Groningen

I had the pleasure of visiting Luhu in Groningen recently, and it was truly one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had in a café. What makes Luhu so special isn’t just the delicious coffee and cosy atmosphere, it’s the amazing team that runs it. All the staff are deaf, and they bring such warmth, professionalism, and care to everything they do.

From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. The ordering process is smooth and inclusive, whether you know sign language or not, everything is designed to make communication easy and enjoyable.

It’s is comfortable with lots of seating options and is also perfect for a quiet study environment. Or if you just need to get away from all the sounds. I’m hard of hearing and this place has been a life saver for me if I had an overstimulated week.. 10/10 recommend. There’s nothing wrong with this place they made...

My favorite cafe in groningen. It is a nice and inclusive place with delicious cookies and chai lattes (its my usual order) and it motivates me to want to go out of my way to learn sentences in dutch sign language.
