Our story
The glass
tells the story
Gouds Glas is named after the stained-glass windows of St. John's Church — the most remarkable heritage of Gouda. Those windows inspire everything: the warmth, the light, the colours that fall through the glass. Cheese, glass and Gouda: they come together in our café on the Markt.
We sit on the Markt, in the heart of the city. Stop in for a coffee with Gouda cakes, a lunch with local cheese, a drink at sunset or a sophisticated dinner. Experience Gouda at its very best — and that starts here.

Gouda is more than cheese and stroopwafels. St. John's Church with its stained-glass windows, the historic market square, the canal houses: these are places that stay with you. And Gouds Glas sits right in the middle.
Combine your visit to the city with a relaxed lunch or a long dinner at our table. We'll happily tell you more about what Gouda has to offer.
