| - We loved Koek Koek!
This place does a great job with quick service, and is perfect for both a relaxed night out and a quick stop for take-out. The food we got was excellent: an arugula quinoa bowl with crunchy chickpeas topped with super-savory grilled halloumi cheese and lemon tahini dressing (excellent mix), and a trio of salads (beet, creamy spiced butternut, and kale with walnuts and apples) that even salad-haters would love.
The decor is unique and clearly very thoroughly considered (love the floors and wood ceilings to warm up a largely black and white space, as well as the slick tree common table). The bathrooms are absolutely worth a visit.
The service was the best part of our night, incredibly friendly and informative. Mark took the time to talk us through the dining concept, recommended some great vegetarian and vegan options, and brought us our food in a flash. We ended up having a great discussion about local craft beers, he introduced me to some promising options around the city, and even let me try a few cans of Sidelaunch.
This place is very accessible, featuring a large parking lot for drivers and enough space inside for strollers to navigate easily. They cater to a wide variety of diets, from carnivorous to gluten-free to vegan. Pretty much anyone could enjoy a meal here. It wasn't too busy tonight, so we were lucky to experience this place before the crowds.
Thank you, Koek Koek! We'll see you again soon.
EDIT: Finally had the PA Dutch apple cake we got to go, and oh my god. I'm PA Dutch, and can confirm that this is better than any other version I've ever had. Damn, Koek Koek. You good.
