A Masterpiece You Can Taste

Born in the Van Gogh Museum

From Canvas to Cookie

Look closely at Van Gogh's Sunflowers and you'll spot something surprising – a dark, mysterious heart at its center. That's what caught chef Roger van Damme's eye at the museum one day.

Inspired by this hidden detail, he created Zonnekoek: a delicious chocolate cookie that brings a taste of Van Gogh's most famous painting to life.

"When will you come and have coffee or tea with me? Soon, I hope."

- Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo The Hague, Sunday, 8 or Monday, 9 January 1882

Coffee moments with Vincent

Through hundreds of letters, Vincent and Theo van Gogh shared not just their dreams and love of art, but simple moments over coffee. Today, we invite you to create your own special moments at the Van Gogh Museum Café. Take a break from exploring art, enjoy our signature Zonnekoek cookie, and share time with those you love – just as the van Gogh brothers did.
