4x hotspot The Hague you don’t want to miss
In The Hague, delicious healthy and vegan hotspots are popping up everywhere. We visited four that are definitely worth it! Do you know more? Let us know so we can add them to the hotspot city map.
Foam
We couldn’t have started our day better. Just outside the center in a very nice street, you’ll find Foam Catering. And no, they don’t only do catering here. In this cozy, bright lunchroom with an open kitchen, garden, and terrace, you can enjoy breakfast, lunch, smoothie bowls, juices, and many treats. Everything at Foam is organic, 100% plant-based, clean, and especially very tasty. We went for the pulled BBQ jackfruit sandwich and the Foam bowl; both finger-licking good. The cakes from Sue and all homemade (gluten-free) pastries on the counter were hard to resist, but we didn’t want to make the rookie mistake of eating (too) much at the first place again. We’re eager to come back! Also to meet the owner, she was in Sicily for inspiration, apparently, there’s a lot of plant-based food there! Maybe we should plan our next hotspot tour in Sicily ;).
Foam Catering – Frederikstraat 44
PIM COFFEE
Our second stop was at PIM COFFEE. The name says it all, you come to PIM for the coffee. And what’s coffee without a treat, right?! You’re in the right place for this in the “living room” of PIM. We ordered an oat cappuccino with raspberry crumble cake, yum! Not too sweet, but incredibly delicious. You don’t have to worry about eating the same cake every week here. New recipes are on the menu weekly, with many gluten-free and plant-based options and preferably not the standard things. A little further down the street you’ll find Bar Enzo; a green store with all kinds of “green” stuff. Nice to pop in.
PIM COFFEE – Wagenstraat 144 / Prins Hendrikstraat 113
Appeltje Eitje
At Appeltje Eitje, you can enjoy an all day breakfast and lunch with various vegan options. We had a Vegan Sancocho here; a Colombian recipe from the chef’s grandmother. A soup with potato, corn cassava, fried banana, avocado, and coriander. Surprisingly delicious! We also had a vegan scrambled egg sandwich with tofu, grilled pepper, and onion. We finished with pumpkin-coconut pancakes with mango and maple syrup. These were to die for! It really gave us that grandma’s apple pie feeling.

Club Vers
A stone’s throw from The Hague Holland Spoor station you’ll find Club Vers. You can stop here all day for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks. In nice weather, you can sit on the large terrace. The menu features many plant-based dishes, and allergies are not an issue here. Whether you want gluten-free, sugar-free, or nut-free food, the plates are no less beautiful. The food alone is a feast for the eyes, with so many beautiful colors! (see photos). We let the chef surprise us with a falafel salad, a sandwich with beetroot hummus and some tasty snack options like edamame beans, polenta fries, and a delicious pastry from SUE. It’s a good thing we didn’t have to choose ourselves. The menu was full of many delicious dishes like pizzas, veggie burgers, Healthy Pancakes and Pad Thai.
