Cafe Jaloezie

Nobelstraat 243, Utrecht, Netherlands

Cafe Jaloezie in Utrecht is not a cafe. Despite the name, there's no coffee, no kitchen, no playlist. What you get instead is a straightforward spot to sort out window coverings: blinds, curtains, screens, the whole raamdecoratie thing. The vibe is practical. They started in 2013 because they were annoyed at how expensive custom window stuff was, and they figured it could be done better. No showroom, no frills, just an online store with free fabric samples and a customer service team that actually picks up the phone five days a week. What makes it worth a visit is the honesty. They have three core values and one of them is literally "we are also people." The support staff has gone through the same measuring, ordering, and installing process you're about to deal with, so they can actually answer your questions instead of reading a script. If you're in Utrecht and need window coverings without the sales pitch, this is the move. Simple, direct, and they'll help you figure out the rest.
