So back in 2012, we first visited Truth inBuitenkant. At that time all they were was a construction site and a side
hatch. Fast-forward to now and the hatch is still there but inside is a
steam-punk haven without one bit of construction.
The new HQ has been open for some time but we
only got to experience it properly a few weeks ago. If you’re ever looking for
a great place to meet friends, have a coffee date (as the loved-up couple in
front of me were clearly on), a mini work meeting or just need a place to park
with your laptop and a latte, this is the place.
The place has lots of seating, so you can grab
a table, a booth, a couch or even sit at the communal table with other peeps.
Personally I love these table of long tables when there are small groups of
people. There’s a sense of togetherness but still everyone has their own space.
Normally here is where I’d touch on the coffee.
But this is TRUTH. We know the coffee is good. What I can tell you is that
their service for 7 in the morning was great. Coffee came out quickly and was
all warm and delicious. Also all the cups and saucers were different. Which is
a fab touch. In fact the whole décor of the place was fabulous. The overall
theme is definitely steam-punk (with the staff adorned appropriately) and it’s
very industrial chic.
The important details you need to know are it’s
open from 07h00. You can use the hatch for a quick take-away but inside is
where it’s really at. There’s food and really tasty croissants (I can vouch for
that), and from time-to-time it also plays house to several events and markets.
This is really where it’s at.
