At Roel's | € 3.30
Oude Kijk in 't Jatstraat 27 - At Roel's, it's clear what you come for. Just coffee. No long menu, no complicated specials, just a few familiar options that are well executed. The coffee is firm and full, without being heavy. You sense that there is attention here without being overdone. It's one of those places where regulars order without a second thought and get on with their day. Exactly what you want when you need something good quickly and don't feel like hesitating. When you step inside, you spot Roel's homemade artwork. Can he make as good as coffee.

Pure | € 3.75
Vismarkt 10 - At first sight Pure is clean and uncluttered, but behind the bar quite a lot happens. Besides the regular coffee and cappuccino, they also have specials where your cup is brewed just a little differently. With extra flavours, milk variations or other preparations that you won't find everywhere as standard. So it's not just a place for a quick classic coffee, but also for when you feel like trying something new. The basics remain good, but there is room for variation. Be sure to peek into the display cases, filled with homemade goodies. After all, a sweet to keep your coffee company is never a bad idea.

Vandeeg Vandaag | € 3.80
Turfsingel 16 - At Vandeeg Vandaag you need a bit of discipline if you really only come for coffee. There are baked goods everywhere that look good and smell fresh, so the temptation to take something extra is great. Of course, the coffee also holds its own there. Hence the recommendation. Full of flavour and a more than fine combination with everything they bake. It's a great place for a quick stop in the morning, but also later in the day when you need something to go on. And what's more, truly Groningen, fresh from Koffiestation's micro-roastery. Which does the place credit. After all, you'll find the shop in former petrol station Dudok.

Wakuli | € 3.20
Stoeldraaierstraat 70 - At Wakuli, it's clearly all about the origin and taste of the coffee. You will notice that there is more attention here in what you drink and you yourself are invited to take time for the flavours you taste. The coffee can be a bit more pronounced than you are used to, which makes it fun if you want to try something different. This is not necessarily the place for your automatic order, but just for those times when you think of having something different from the usual. Wakuli's mission is clear. More money to the farmer and more love to the planet.

Sunday | € 2.80
Kruissingel 1 - Sunday is in the middle of the Noorderplantsoen and that immediately makes it a different experience than in the city centre. The take-away is not inside Zondag, but directly attached to it. This makes it feel like a logical stop during a stroll. Just grab a coffee and then on into the park again. That's actually how most people do it here. Typical Sunday. Always relaxed. A mix of people just waking up, sitting outside and meeting each other. You get that too if you bring something on your own. With your own cup, you also get a €0.50 discount on your coffee.

Cream | € 3.20
Rodeweg 1 & Vismarkt 3 - Room has two locations in Groningen and is one of those places that is standard in many people's walks. Whether you walk into one location or the other: you know what you're getting and that makes it an easy stop. You get the coffee as crazy as you like. Plain black or with a sweet twist. Traditionally hot or on ice cubes. A nice extra is that they also have good ice cream. And that, in turn, is perfect if you fancy an iced coffee. Especially on warmer days, this is one of those addresses you like to stop by.

Revista | € 3.80
Carolieweg 11 - Revista is unique. And striking. The bright yellow terrace outside alone tells you that. It's a bit more creative, a bit looser and therefore less predictable. This is not only reflected in the coffee, but also in the concept, as they sell magazines here that you can easily take with you on the go. Ideal if you want to extend your coffee moment to a quiet reading moment later. The coffee itself has character and is made with attention, but they also understand that sometimes things have to be quick. For an extra smooth stop, you can order a batch brew to go. This is always ready to go, so the baristas can pour your coffee straight away and you'll be outside in no time.

Koffiestation | € 3.80
Oude Kijk in 't Jatstraat 21 & Turfsingel 4 - Koffiestation is one of those typical Groningen places where everything is about coffee, but without making it complicated. They roast their own beans here and that gives it just a bit more character. So you don't just drink something you can get anywhere. Don't expect trendy trends or changing hypes, but classic Koffiestation coffee with its own unique flavour. It feels local, down-to-earth and a little quirky, just like you know the city itself. You walk in here for coffee that's been thought about, so you don't have to do that yourself. Above all, enjoy.
View
Struis | € 3.20
Kraneweg 62 - There in that little café in the Schildersbuurt. The coffee they serve here comes from Cocodori, a Groningen roastery known for its careful selection and clear, well-balanced flavours. You'll notice that in the cup: coffee that's right. Struis itself is actually just like that. Where you are welcomed with open arms and a smile. A fine stop if you value local and a well-brewed cup of coffee without fuss. Or well, a to-go cup then.

Hip Nana | € 2.75
Broerstraat 4 - Hip Nana is anything but sleek or minimalist. And that's precisely its charm. It is lively, everyone flies by and you can see that everyone is at ease here. Even if you only come for a coffee to go, you'll get some of that. The coffee itself is accessible and just plain good. Moreover, you don't pay too much for it. But it is mainly the atmosphere that makes you want to come back here again. You will find Hippe Nana in the University Library, so no wonder it is always buzzing. By the way, you are always allowed in, even if you are not a student. Need a break and people-watching? Then this is the place for you.

Want to get even more coffee in Groningen? You'll find Favolosa in a narrow and high building full of character. The shop arches right over 't Kolle Gat, between the Herestraat and the Vismarkt. At number 91 on the Herestraat, you will also find Argo. A Greek coffee shop with Mediterranean-style drinks and matching delicacies. If you are in the A-quarter, it is excellent to stop by Doppio on Brugstraat. The place is close to atmospheric townhouses along the canals. Then you can go for a walk with your coffee. In Oude Ebbingestraat, all kinds of cultures come together in one place at Agora. You'll feast your eyes on the menu and are sure to find something that will taste good.
