Chatwick has become our go-to café and our favourite in Breda. We strongly recommend the almond croissants, big portions and a very well filling almond paste and flaky pastry on the outside (love the caramelised bottom). Overall, probably one of the best almond croissants we've ever had? Their pistachio cruffin and pain au chocolat, even though they were nice, didn't have enough filling to our taste. It's reasonably priced as for around 8 euros you can get a latte and a nice pastry. Beside incredible bakers, they are roasters and their coffee is the best in town: strong but very well-balanced. They do not charge extra for non-dairy milk. They also have a customer card that they stamp when you order coffee/pastry and you get 1 free coffee for every card you complete. It can get quite busy and the seating situation is a bit of a "free for all" as no priority for sitting is given to whoever is ordering first. Also, as it is not a big space and they have the ovens in the same facilities, when it's crowded, there is some condensation on its windows. However, it is definitely worth waiting to get a spot or dare to sit outside regardless of the weather. Their Christmas specials look yummy (tried some gingerbread/cinnamony roll and it was very nice).
Edit (September 2025):
After a while of feeling unsure of the café's latest changes (staff, space, coffee taste), this new refurbishment and the new staff (especially the barista) have made us, as long-term costumers, very pleased. The new space is much more spacious and doesn't feel cramped (making us reminisce with nostalgia the initial appearance of the café with the coffee bar). The coffee tastes unique again. The almond croissant never disappoints! Prices have gone up, though! But we gladly paid! Only suggestion for improvement is to cover the pastry counter with some kind of shield as it's right in front where people stand to order.
