In Utrecht there may be fewer places where you can go for a good cup of coffee or an extensive breakfast, but they are there. Not with pancakes and French toast on the menu (hint, hint, hint catering entrepreneurs out there), but a healthy bowl of yogurt is also tasty from time to time. Plus, the cuttings below have plenty of other goodies.

Broil A nice, cozy and uncomplicated neighborhood living room on the Utrechtse Oosterkade. At Broei, small prices, a ditto small but nice terrace and Man & Paard workplaces for Utrecht freelancers at the back of the store. The menu features yoghurt in two ways - farmer's yoghurt with muesli, fruit and honey or goat's yoghurt with chocolate (yes, really), fruit, walnuts and agave syrup - but also a classic bamtje with peanut butter. The menu also includes very tasty coffee and (varying) fresh fruit juices. Don't do anything about it anymore. Oosterkade 24. Broil

Crop Top Hello Utrecht's most insta-genic salad bar! Hello Crop. So a salad bar... Probably not the first place you think of at Sunday breakfast, but that's why it's so nice (and less busy). And Crop does breakfast just as well. From the owners of coffee shop 30ml (where you can drink the best home-roasted coffee in Utrecht, we heard), so the coffee is certainly good. Also fresh juices on the menu - the carrot-apple juice is highly recommended - cold pressed juices from The Juice Brothers (try the Dutch Spice!) and, for the silent hunger, Greek yoghurt with homemade muesli, croissants and, for dessert, salted caramel. Bonus points for the cozy picnic table terrace with a view of one of the Utrecht canals. Biltstraat 1. Crop Top

Some 'Buzz, a rattling coffee grinder, free WiFi. That's Noen'. We couldn't say it better ourselves. The cozy coffee house in Utrecht East, near the Wilhelmina Park, is a great place to spend a few hours on your laptop during the week, including coffee. But Noen is also a good place to be at the weekend. The menu includes delicious coffee, a range of teas (Ra Ra Rusputin, anyone? That means black tea) and juices from our own orchard. For example, with that coffee-tea juice, a croissant, yogurt with home-made muesli or a boiled egg. And for the big it-is-Sunday-so-we-can-eat-a-lot brunch: sourdough sandwiches with Scottish salmon and honey-mustard-dill sauce or smoked mackerel with horseradish. Bon appetit! Jan van Scorelstraat 8. Some
