Capriole Café
The interior of Capriole Café shows that its located in an industrial area, the metal bars of the old factory premises are in fact still intact. The property looks sleek and sturdy and is designed by Bureau Fraai. Strikingly is the beautiful coffee roaster that is an eye catcher upon entering. They have opted for an open kitchen and their guests are able to see the barista’s at work from anywhere. For example, these barista’s prepare fresh coffee from its own roastery. The concept was nominated in 2016 at the Dutch ‘Entrée Hospitality & Style Awards’ in the category Best Coffee Concept.
The coffee shop is open for breakfast and lunch with an extensive coffee menu and sweet treats. In the evening you can also dine here with as specialty the hamburgers of chef Diego Buik.
