World of Barista

grote markt is one of those squares where the city actually happens, not just passes through. if you've got a laptop and a few hours to think, or you're between things and need a coffee before the afternoon gets away from you, world of barista on grote markt 35 sits right in the middle of it all without feeling like a tourist trap. groningen's specialty scene is small enough that a place can't really coast on location, so what you find here has to hold up on its own terms. the shop is well regarded locally, and in a city this size, that kind of reputation travels on word of mouth more than anything else. come on a quiet weekday morning, order something small and espresso-based, and let the square do the rest.
