Simon Lévelt koffie & thee Utrecht

slow saturday mornings are what vismarkt was made for, and simon lévelt has been part of that rhythm in utrecht for long enough that it doesn't feel like a novelty. you're not coming here to be impressed by a concept. the shop sits at vismarkt 21a, which puts you in one of the older corners of the city centre, close enough to the oudegracht to make a detour easy. what grounds the place is the roasting side of things: this is a roaster first, retailer second, which means the coffee in your cup has a shorter, more accountable chain behind it than most. the range covers both coffee and tea, so it works for whoever you're with. end the morning with a filter before the saturday market crowds peak.
