We visited Lunchcafé Nieuwland on a cozy afternoon for a small break — just some coffee and a bite. The banana bread was delicious, the cappuccino was smooth, and the café itself has a good ambience.
However, our experience with the service left us disappointed.

I see that the owner is "doubting" whether we actually visited them and ate at Nieuwland. Since google won't let me upload a screenshot of my debit card statement: 4 November 2023 at 11:12AM, order of breakfast bun, shakshuka, 2 cappucino and 2 juices, 48 euros.
