This tiny, old-fashioned shop has no website or Facebook page and that says everything. Step in, sit down and let Mr. Van Vlerken serve you a cup of coffee and a Dutch snack. Afterwards, you can pay at the antique mechanical cash register and travel back in time before the digital age arrived. The lunchroom offers both a bakery full of goodies and an adjoining room to enjoy it in. In short, it’s an oasis of calm and tranquillity in the bustling centre of Tilburg.
