First time at Polly. Yes, we know, long overdue! We went for the banana bread, blueberry coconut cake and two drinks.
One of us went in thinking coffee, but ended up with their seasonal special: coconut water topped with coffee foam. And my god, it was good.
We also tried the iced Earl Grey matcha, which was just as refreshing and delicious.

📍Our spot this week was Cannolo CANNOLO Sicilian Canteen

If you’re craving Italian but want something beyond the usual pasta-and-pizza combo, put Cannolo on your list.

This little Sicilian canteen in the Schipperskwartier serves sharing plates like arancini, panelle, sfincione and, of course, cannoli.

Honestly, the cannoli alone is worth the visit.

📍Our spot this time was august

We heard you don’t need to be a hotel guest to go to the library, gardens, and bar, so we went.

We started working from the library and after work, we went to the bar and stayed for cocktails and food. The Spicy Margarita and Clover Club are both worth ordering, and the BBQ eggplant, pimientos de padrón, and veal tartare were just as good. The bartenders have poured drinks for guests from all over the world. If you’re unsure what to order, just ask them.

📍Our spot last week was Dr. Beer Dr. Beer 🩺 after seeing the amazing reviews.

Tell Jeroen what you like, and he’ll recommend you a out of more than 90 that actually suits your taste.
You can pair it with some cheeses or cured meats, and grab a board game. There’s a reason both locals and visitors keep recommending this place.
