For a good cup of coffee, you’re in the right place in Rotterdam Centre. While shopping, after visiting a museum or before starting a tour of the city; a cup of coffee can give you just that little bit of energy you might need.

But where do you drink a good cup? In this article we share with you where they serve delicious cappuccinos, lattes, espressos and iced coffees.

De Koffiebar

You can drink traditional Italian coffee in Rotterdam Centre at De Koffiebar on the Karel Doormanstraat. The perfect place if you want to recharge with a good cup of coffee. Inside, De Koffiebar is decorated with brick walls and cool Chesterfield sofas, for a cozy atmosphere, and outside you can sit on the terrace in the sun.

Are you taking a seat on the terrace? Then make sure to walk to the counter before you order, to see what delicacies they serve that day.

Barista Café

Where the scent of chocolate once filled the air, you’ll now find freshly brewed coffee. Right in the heart of Rotterdam city centre, Barista Café has been open for some time, making it a welcome new spot for anyone who enjoys a good cup of coffee.

The café feels warm and inviting, with a real living-room atmosphere. It’s not just a place to grab something quickly, but somewhere you naturally stay a little longer. Whether you’re working, catching up with friends or simply enjoying your coffee in peace, Barista Café invites you to relax and linger.

Bertmans

If you walk along the Karel Doormanstraat, towards Schouwburgplein, you will arrive at the Bertmans terrace. A large restaurant, where you can order delicious coffee in addition to healthy dishes.

Enjoy a heart-warming cappuccino while shoppers stroll by. Would you prefer something else? A matcha latte is also delicious. To make your drink taste even better, order one of their large chocolate chip cookies or creamy brownies.

Social

Drinking coffee and catching up go hand in hand. A coffee bar called Social is therefore the ideal spot in Rotterdam Centre to take your friends, family, colleagues or partner for an hour or two to chat and enjoy a cup of coffee.

Social can be found in one of the nicer areas of Rotterdam: the MaHo quarter. Between the boutiques and restaurants, this is a great place to find a table or get a coffee to go. Are you hungry? The breakfast and lunch menu is also definitely worth a try!

You're either a fan or you're not, but Starbucks remains the perfect spot for a quick coffee break while shopping. Located on Van Oldenbarneveltplaats, it is the place to be for a quick latte, cappuccino, or Frappuccino. It's also always fun to try the seasonal specials here!
