Flow is in the Pijp area and presents itself as an all-day brunch café. From eight in the morning you are welcome for breakfast or coffee, on weekends brunch runs until four. The menu is built around familiar dishes like avocado toast, eggs benedict and pancakes, but each dish gets its own signature. It is comfort food that is not heavy on the stomach, but is prepared with care.
Specialty coffee plays a big role. Flow works with beans that are carefully selected and roasted, and the baristas pay great attention to the preparation. Whether you choose a cappuccino or filter coffee, the balance of flavor is always paramount. There is also a small selection of house-made drinks and juices that go well with the brunch dishes.
The interior matches the name: light, quiet and minimalist. White walls, wooden furniture and an open space create an environment where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It's a place where people consciously take time for their meal, without the rush that often comes with coffee or lunch.
The crowd is a mix of local residents, expats and tourists exploring the Pijp. During the week the atmosphere is calmer and you often see people having a quiet breakfast or work alone, on weekends the place is buzzing with groups of friends and couples having brunch together.
"Flow gives brunch the attention it deserves."
What sets Flow apart is the balance between simplicity and quality. No overly large menu, no endless choices, but a selection of dishes that are well thought out each time. With that, Flow feels reliable yet surprising.
