Welcome to Cafe Voltaire, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of 's-Hertogenbosch at Stoofstraat 6. This cafe offers a unique blend of casual atmosphere and eclectic charm, making it an ideal spot for those looking to unwind with a delicious treat or a well-crafted beverage.

If you have a penchant for desserts, you're in for a delightful surprise. Many patrons rave about the super yum desserts, with a special nod to the vegan options that have left some customers like Shaily Singh utterly impressed. They craft these sweet creations with an artisanal touch, appealing to both the conventional dessert lover and those seeking plant-based alternatives.

But Cafe Voltaire is more than just sweets. Take a moment to savor their savory offerings, like the famous tuna avocado sandwich. As customer Alex noted, it exceeded expectations and provided a wholesome escape for taste buds. The freshness of the ingredients combined with the friendly service from the owner—who is ready to assist even if you don't speak Dutch—makes for a welcoming experience.

The ambiance of Cafe Voltaire is distinctly casual and laid-back. It has an unpretentious vibe that feels almost like stepping into a friend's living room, with a hint of club-like energy thanks to the intriguing playlist of reggae music streaming through the air. While some may note that it’s not the coziest place to linger, the relaxed atmosphere is perfect for a quick coffee break or a sweet indulgence after exploring the canals of Den Bosch.

However, it’s worth a heads-up: this cafe operates as a cash-only establishment, which some customers have found surprising, so plan ahead. Feedback suggests that while the coffee is good, it might not steal the spotlight—others have noted that the cakes, while tasty, are sourced from the local supermarket, raising questions about value.

Despite the mixed reviews, Cafe Voltaire delivers a unique experience where authenticity shines through. Whether you’re popping in for a quick snack or settling down for a relaxing afternoon, this cafe has something special to offer every visitor. Don't miss the chance to explore this vibrant venue that captures the essence of local culture.

Super yum desserts. Even the vegan variety blew my mind away. Not a very cosy place though.

Nice place but very disappointing to find out that the dry cake I ate, comes from Albert Heijn where you can get it for half the price...

Interesting and unusual place. Not posh, doesn't want to impress you with latest - and - newest interior. Felt more like a club (which i think it is). Coffee didn't impress me, but wasn't bad. Final note: cash only.

The tuna avocado sandwich was even better than I expected and the owner was very kind and helped me even though I can't speak Dutch.
