South Holland


There are very few decent lunch options in Gouda, which is why we've listed this small cafe in one of the town's main shopping precincts. Veggie choices dominate the menu, and though some feature unorthodox and not particularly successful flavour combinations, there's usually a few more-palatable alternatives. Good range of Numi organic teas. Card payment only.
