Cafés open late in Utrecht
Most specialty cafés in Utrecht close by mid-afternoon. A small handful stay open into the evening — coffee bars that double as wine bars after 6pm, neighbourhood spots that serve a steady stream of locals after dinner, and the late roasteries that fire up the espresso machine until 9 or 10pm. Roasters lists every one. The guide draws on the 36 specialty cafés and roasters the community has mapped in Utrecht.
