De Koffiezaak Hermitage — Restaurant in Zaanstad

I don’t know why this coffee place got such good reviews - they do almost no food except pastries and nothing at all that is vegan; the service is very slow, they wait the tables so it's a long wait, there is hardly anywhere to sit except for the swings that everyone chooses not to use (as they look awkward) and it’s small inside so not sure why it got such good reviews (not to be confused with the to-go only place up the road which I avoided since I don't like to use paper cups) - disappointed that there were no vegan options for any of the numerous cakes and pastries on display where as other cafes do offer...

There is plenty variety of different pastry’s and cakes, cookies etc. They also sell a lot of variety of coffee and coffee related products. They have wheelchair accessibility also. I loved the swings made into seats it’s a beautiful centrepiece of decor in this...

I'll never step inside here again. Waste of...
