From flower shop to lunchroom
Vivian started Het Zonnetje in 2009 in the old flower shop on Voorbeeldstraat. Her daughter Lenneke has baked all the cakes and scones since 2016, and Lenneke’s husband Gijsbert runs the coffee machine and the terrace.
The glass front of the old flower shop is still there. Behind it is now the play corner, so parents on the terrace can simply watch their children play. That was the first thing Vivian knew: families must feel at home here.
The terrace came in 2012, when the council made the street car-free. First with four tables, now with eighty seats and six yellow parasols.
