De Delftse Pauw – Delft Blue Pottery

While several dozen pottery factories churned out blue pottery in Delft in the seventeenth century, you can only find two open factories in the city now. Royal Delft and Delft Pauw are those two factories. You can read our review of Royal Delft here. These

Best Burger & Beer In Town (Het Klooster, Delft)

One of the few advantages of being overdue (41 weeks, 5 days) was squeezing an extra date night out of the wait. My in-laws were in town, anxiously awaiting the birth of our new little guy. They generously volunteered to watch not only our two 

Kek Cafe, Delft

Kek Cafe, Delft

Perhaps my favorite little place in Delft is a cafe just off the main square called Kek. It is the perfect place to grab coffee, cake or lunch. I’ve ordered nothing at Kek that was not absolutely delicious. I tend to alternate between the egg

Delft Deer Park

Delft Deer Park

In the woods adjacent to Delftse Hout lies a little deer park. A little fenced-in area is home to deer, ducks, geese, chickens and rabbits. This section of the woods is also quite popular for dog walking, so we almost always run into some dogs as

Knus: Delft Boat House, Playground & Restaurant

Knus, or as H calls it “the boat house” is basically the most perfect place for mom and kids when the weather is nice. I had no idea why it was constantly where we met for the first few months here, but now I know
