Outside, you can hear the sounds of a neighborhood that’s already coming to life. Bicycles passing by, a truck loading up at the design studio down the street, someone walking in the morning sun with headphones on. On Philitelaan, in the DONNA building, the door to Anne&Max is open.
It smells like freshsourdough bread , and coffee here. The first croissants have just come out of the oven. Someone is already sitting at the reading table with a laptop, and by the window, a couple is looking out over the neighborhood. This is what breakfast in Eindhoven feels like when you choose a spot that fits the neighborhood.
Anne&Max Strijp-S is no ordinary coffee shop. It’s a living room nestled in one of the city’s most diverse neighborhoods—on the grounds that were once the heart of Philips and now buzz with creators, builders, and designers.
This Is Your Day
You ride up Philitelaan. To your right are the brick facades of the old Philips factory; above you, the sky decides whether it will be a day for a jacket or a day for sitting on a patio. You park your bike and push open the door.
It’s warm inside. Not just from the heat—but from the people, the noise, and the light streaming in through the large windows. Anne is standing behind the bar, already preparing the first espresso. Max has opened up the garden room: it’s quiet there, with good light, a place for anyone who wants to gather their thoughts before the day really begins.
You order. You sit down. The morning is yours.
A living room for breakfast at Strijp-S
Anne&Max Eindhoven Strijp-S is located at Philitelaan 57 in the DONNA building, one of the renovated industrial buildings on the former Philips site. The space exudes that history: high ceilings, exposed structural elements, and large windows that let in natural light without detracting too much from its industrial charm.
Inside, it really is a true Anne&Max living room. Lounge chairs that invite you to stay. A reading table where you can sit with friends or quietly flip through the morning paper. A garden room in the back that feels like a separate room in a large house. Max’s favorite: the table by the window, where you can watch the neighborhood come to life.
The atmosphere at Strijp-S is different from that in downtown Eindhoven. There’s more foot traffic—people pop in quickly for a cappuccino between appointments, work for an hour at the long table, or grab something to go. But there are also guests who aren’t in a hurry. They start their day here, taking it slow and without a schedule.
Breakfast: from " sourdough bread " to fresh juices
In a place like Strijp-S, where many people are out and about early in the morning, a hearty breakfast isn’t a luxury but a necessity. That’s why Max’s Breakfast is the centerpiece of the morning at Anne&Max. The plate features a crispy croissant, a “sourdough bread ” specialty baked exclusively for Anne&Max, scrambled eggs with salmon or bacon, yogurt or quark with homemade granola and fresh fruit, and a freshly squeezed juice.
Want to take a morning that lasts longer than breakfast itself? Choose the Breakfast for 2 for a shared meal at the table, or go for the Take Your Time Breakfast, which includes a glass of bubbly and a pistachio croissant—because why not? The Dream Croissant is warm, filled, and always a hit; it’s also a great option to take with you if you’re on the go.
If you'd rather start with something light, the acai bowl is the perfect choice. And everything is available all day long. No rush, no cutoff time. Check out themenu for the full selection.
Coffee at Strijp-S: From Peru to Philitelaan
Strijp-S is a neighborhood of creators. So it’s only fitting that the coffee at Anne&Max here has a story that goes beyond the cup in front of you. Every morning, Anne or Max brews specialty coffee: organic, direct-trade espresso from Peru. It’s an espresso you won’t forget. For those who prefer to start their day more gently, there’s organic drip coffee from Ethiopia.
Other items on the coffee menu include: flat white, cappuccino (also available with oat milk), chai latte, decaf, and iced coffee. Max drinks four a day himself. Anne sticks to two. They both agree on one thing about filter coffee: it deserves more attention than it gets.

Children are more than welcome. There’s plenty of room for a stroller, there’s a play area, and the kids’ menu features its own selection of dishes and drinks so that even our youngest guests can enjoy something just for them.
Terrace on Philitelaan
“There’s no specific season for terrace weather,” says Max. And at Strijp-S, that’s truer than anywhere else. On Philitelaan, you have plenty of space, a wide sidewalk, and the feeling that you’re right in the heart of the neighborhood.
After breakfast: a morning at Strijp-S
Anyone who combines breakfast in Eindhoven with a stroll through the neighborhood is in for a treat. Strijp-S is small enough to explore on foot and large enough to discover something new every time.
Within walking distance of Philitelaan are the large halls of the Klokgebouw, where art, design, and gastronomy come together. The VDMA grounds are the place to go if you’re curious about the neighborhood’s manufacturing scene. Eindhoven Strijp-S Station is just a few minutes’ walk away. This is convenient if you’re planning to continue your journey or want to wait a bit before boarding the train until it’s less crowded.
Anne’s tip for breakfast in Eindhoven when you have some time to spare: after coffee, take a walk through the neighborhood along Torenallee toward the small park. Then head back the other way.
Pick up or have it delivered
No time to stay and eat? The Dream Croissant is just as good in a paper bag as it is on a plate. You can order it to go throughJamezz. Just pick it up when it’s ready—no waiting in line. Staying home is also an option. ThroughThuisbezorgd, you can have Anne&Max delivered to your home or office. A breakfast box for two, an acai bowl at work—it’s all possible. Brunch in Eindhoven Strijp doesn’t necessarily have to be at the restaurant.
