A vegan bakery behind the Dom

Kluts, at Achter de Dom 6, began in 2019, when its owners bought Carla's Conditorie, a Scandinavian lunchroom behind the Dom. They made it fully vegan and renamed it in July 2022.³ Everything is baked daily in the kitchen at the back with spelt flour only, so it is free of lactose and eggs; the coffee comes from Bocca, and the terrace looks onto the Domkerk.³

ProVeg singles out its apple crumble, chocolate brownies and pandan coconut cake.² Kluts opens every day, 10:00–17:00.

Plant milk is where prices differ. Café Elize charged €0.50 extra for oat milk on its March 2026 menu, and its matcha latte came with oat milk and honey for €5.25.⁵ Cupp's Kanaalweg menu, read in October 2026, adds coconut milk or Oatly at no charge.⁶
