Where Groningen Slows Down for a Moment

On Turfsingel, the city seems to naturally slow down a bit. You can settle in by the window overlooking the Diepenring, while students cycle by and small boats glide quietly across the water. With the aroma of freshly baked croissants in the air, it’s a lovely spot to start your day in peace. Later, you can pull up a chair for a hearty lunch or linger a while longer with a specialty coffee and cake. And if there’s something to celebrate, we’ll lovingly set the table for a cozy high tea.
A place where people have gathered for centuries
For centuries, the Turfsingel has been a place where people gather. Where ships laden with peat once docked along the Diepenring, day-trippers now stroll along the water, students bike to class, and neighbors stop by for a cup of coffee. With the Stadsschouwburg, the Grote Markt, and the historic city center just a few minutes’ walk away, there’s always something going on—while the terrace offers just the right amount of tranquility to take a moment to enjoy it all.
That special spot also appealed to entrepreneur Martijn. He opened the first Anne&Max outside the Randstad here and immediately saw how naturally people come together by the water. On sunny days, the patio is filled with people who lose track of time for a moment: friends catching up, coworkers ordering an espresso after lunch, and passersby who spontaneously decide to stick around for another hour.
