Cafe Ons Moeke

From the street Ons Moeke looks like an ordinary cafetaria on the Paterswoldseweg, but step inside and you find one of the most loved queer spots in the north of the Netherlands. Owner Jantina Darwinkel has spent more than sixteen years turning her cafe into a safe place for LGBTQ+ youth, including kids who fled intolerant homes - she feeds them, helps them find work, and gives out hugs with the fries. A brown-cafe interior, a snack counter, and a door that is open to absolutely everyone.
