  • Marres Kitchen
    Capucijnenstraat 98
  • Kafethéa
    Mariastraat 6

Coffee bar Kafethéa serves vegan pancakes and cakes in a trendy interior. The name of the bar in flowers on the wall, a bar of books and a cozy seating area makes this a great place for a lunch stop.

    Heggenstraat 3A
  • Furniture & Cafe
    Sint Jacobstraat 4B

Furniture & Cafe has retro bikes on the wall and trendy furniture for sale, but good coffee as well. Make sure you stop by here, when you walk through the old city center.

  • Sjiek Kookpunt
    Hoogbrugstraat 15
  • Koffie bij Joost en Maartje
    Maastrichter Heidenstraat 8

Joost makes the furniture, Maartje bakes the cakes and together they serve the best coffee in Maastricht. There are workplaces to sit down with a laptop, but for a lunch in the sun you should on the terrace in the back.

Spelt grain may be super popular nowadays, but even in the old days this super grain was already eaten. In Maastricht to be exact! The Bisschopsmolen is the oldest spelt mill in the country. The most delicious sandwiches and pastries are made from the grain and can be eaten as lunch or breakfast in in the eatery next door. Is it full? Then buy your vlaai (Limburg pie) and spelt bread in the bakery shop itself and picnic on the Maas.
