🎺Jazz & Blues Café in the Heart of Utrecht

Café 't College brings together the worlds of jazz, blues, and quality hospitality in a charming location on Mariastraat in Utrecht's center. The café creates an immersive musical atmosphere where jazz and revue music fill the air, including Sinatra classics, bebop, and creative covers like "A Night in Tunisia."

The venue's jazz-themed menu features clever dish names that pay homage to musical legends: the "Dizzy Gillespie Caesar Salad," "Be Bop Burger" with truffle mayonnaise, and other creatively named items that blend culinary excellence with musical culture. This playful approach extends throughout the entire dining experience, making each visit both a meal and a celebration of jazz heritage.

Complete Hospitality: The café welcomes guests throughout the day for coffee and cake from Bijzondere Taarten Fabriek (made by people with disabilities), delicious lunch options including sandwiches, salads, and lady's eggs, and dinner service. The friendly staff creates an atmosphere where guests immediately feel at home, whether stopping for a quick coffee or settling in for a full evening.

Located in the cobblestoned streets of central Utrecht, the café features a terrace with views of colorful walls and passing bicycles. Open from morning until late (02:00 on Friday and Saturday), it serves as a versatile destination for specialty beers, good wine, borrelhapjes (snacks), and full meals, all accompanied by the smooth sounds of jazz and blues.

Perfect for: Jazz enthusiasts, blues lovers, lunch crowds, burger aficionados, coffee breakers, wine and beer appreciators, terrace sitters, city center visitors, music-themed dining seekers, friends gathering for drinks, date nights, casual diners, tourists exploring Utrecht, and anyone who appreciates good food served with a soundtrack of classic jazz and blues.
