Friesische Teestube

Relax in the living room feel of Friesische Teestube and enjoy a range of more than a hundred teas on the menu from India, China, Japan, Russia and of course Friesland. Accompany your drink with a freshly baked cake, waffle or sandwich, and if you are not a tea person, don’t worry; the coffee and other beverages are equally well made.
