Food & Drink

Take a seat in our cozy museum café: a nice place for a moment of rest during your museum visit - or just when you're in Waalwijk. You are welcome with or without a museum ticket.

Enjoy a cup of fair trade coffee or tea with something delicious from the pastry assortment of local bakery Partyvlaai. Their specialty? The iconic Halve Zool: a richly filled cake shaped like half a shoe sole - a nod to Waalwijk's shoe heritage.

You can also come to us for lunch. We serve a changing menu of sandwiches, soups and other lunch dishes. Ask at the bar for the menu of the day.

From the café you have a view of the distinctive architecture of the national monumental Kropholler complex that houses the Shoe Quarter. 

Eye-catchers in the interior are the bar made of hemp concrete and the tile wall by Laura van Santen, made from leftover materials by ceramics workshop Cor Unum from 's-Hertogenbosch.
