Coffee time!

Previously I wrote about where to get a good beer, or a nice glass of wine, but where to go for a cup of coffee? This week I’ll present to you a few of the many good coffee bars of the city!

The Urban Espresso Bar

Probably the most populair coffeebar of the city! The small bar is located at the Botersloot, in the center of Rotterdam (near the new Markethal!) and is runned by the Australian Jo McCambridge. The bar got so popular that they needed to open a second bar on the Nieuwe Binnenweg.

The coffee is made of beans of Ethiopia or Panama, and with a homemade piece of cake (or a lovely sandwich) your coffee is complete!

Hopper Coffee & Bakery

Decorated with a lot of wood and concrete this coffee bar looks much like any other, but Hopper Coffee & Bakery is much more than that. Just like the name says this bar included their own bakery. The bar and the bakery are in the same room so it’s not only fun to watch, but the constant smell of baked bread will welcome you for a lovely lunch!

It’s not surprising that this bar won the prize for best coffee bar in the Netherlands of 2012!

You can find Hopper Coffer & Bakery at the Schiedamse Vest!

Cappucino

Even though a lunch is a bit more expensive  (and it’s not really worth it) the coffee is an absolute winner! The cappuccino is served with liqueur and whipped cream, a glass of water, and a cookie. A very complete coffee! Three years in a row they won the Ketelbinkie coffee prize (2009 – 2011), and because it’s located near the Koopgoot it’s definitely a popular place to have a nice cup.
