The Lowlands Grand Cafes pay homage to the grand cafes of Lowland Europe (Belgium, Holland, Northern France). Café Hollander is proud to be a grand café in the style of those found throughout the Low Countries, especially the “Benelux” region (Benelux is the region of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg). These European grand cafes are a comfortable place where neighbors can meet over a cup of espresso, a snack, a meal, or a strong ale – day after day. From bicycles to lion kings to waffles and mussels and frites in a paper cone, Café Hollander integrates some of our favorite elements of the Benelux region’s rich culture… and none more prominently than the love for Belgian bier.The Lowlands Group seeks to create a unique experience for its guests by really concentrating on great food, great service, and great value. We believe that "good enough" isn't and we are constantly striving and improving and growing to meet the needs and desires of our community.

From the moment you step into our cafes, you can see that we love bier (we have literally HUNDREDS of unique Belgian and Belgian-style biers in our cafes) and bikes (we sponsors numerous teams, clubs, and events throughout the area). We use and reuse both local materials and imported antiques to give a new life to landmark properties throughout the city. We work with vendors here and in Europe to create food and beverages that are unique to our group and utilize the most quality products available. We are active in the community, in building relationships with our neighbors, and with helping to raise awareness of how great urban lifestyles can be. We strongly value locations in high density, mixed use neighborhoods because we encourage living where you work and play. Our employees are encouraged to be a part of the greater community with incentives like commuter credits (for biking or using mass transit) and volunteer credits. Our hope at each restaurant is that many of our employees are actually our neighbors and guests!
