De Ontdekking — Restaurant in Utrecht

Such a nice place to be! The staff is very friendly, the food and coffee is delicious, it's not expensive (not cheap either), and the ambiance is really nice. They have enough places to plug in a charger. And one thing i really love: if you choose to switch your regular (cows) milk to soymilk, they won't charge you extra! You can't sit by the window with your laptop though, and it can be hard to find a spot sometimes. The wifi is not always good enough to smoothly be studying online. It's never been so bad that i left though. Another great thing: I once placed an order for the pie of the week, but I wasn't being specific enough and didn't get the pie that I wanted (I ordered 'the pie of the week' without noticing there were 2 different ones, and I got the one I didn't want).

During this time the young lady who was meant to be our server was just chatting to a mate and untangling aprons her and her barista colleague completely ignoring the handgesture and looks we were giving them for service. Anyway after waiting for over 30 minutes and watching about 10 people come in and out again and get their order within seconds we decided we'd move on. So we got up and left with a wee "dank je wel hé" to which the waitress just responded "oh" knowing she'd fluffed that one up. Used to come there fairly frequently but we were with the in-laws and I'm not going to be coming back now. If they'd even said oh we're real sorry we let us take your order now and we'll give you one of the drinks on the house or cake on the house or a discount. instead we waited and watched for 30 minutes as everyone got served but us.
