There are plenty of places in Rotterdam where you can go for a nice cup of coffee. But of course, with so many options, it is hard to make a decision. But no worries, we are here to help! We’ve been to a lot of great coffee shops in Rotterdam and decided to share some of the best spots with you.
Below we share our favourite coffee places in Rotterdam!
1. Unfiltered
This aesthetically pleasing, minimalist coffee shop can be found on the Van Oldenbarneveltstraat. The sand-coloured walls, beautiful wooden design chairs and calm music makes it a very relaxing place.
What can you order here? Of course a good cup of coffee, but also a delicious matcha and chai latte. If you want something sweet, you can choose from cinnamon rolls and banana bread from the display case.
Are you visiting for breakfast or lunch? What about French toast with seasonal fruit, honey butter and caramelized hazelnut and vanilla cream? Or go for savoury and choose the burrata with sourdough bread, cherry tomatoes, figs and basil oil.

2. Dune
In the Scheepvaartkwartier you can find an amazing coffee place: Duin. It is a new concept from Jelle van Rossum, who also owns Shokunin coffee.
It is very clear that Jelle has a great love for coffee. Dune’s menu even has about 14 different coffee beans! So as a coffee connoisseur you are in the right place. Prefer something with less caffeine? Then order kombucha on tap, with options such as jasmine, oolong and ginger beer.
For the hungry visitor, Dune offers dishes including almond pancakes with focaccia. They also have sweets here, such as a cheesecake or cookies.

No. 10 is a nice place on the Hoogstraat. The name No 10, or Number Ten, stands for Rotterdam. No 10 is also decorated in the Rotterdam colours, namely green.
In this store you can of course enjoy (specialty) coffee, but also tea, chai lattes and freshly squeezed juices. You can also join them for breakfast, lunch or treats. Think of different sandwiches, such as burrata avocado, spicy tuna melt and various healthy bowls, such as an acai bowl.

Hopper certainly deserves a place in this list of best coffee places in Rotterdam, because Hopper’s award winning coffee is for sure worth a try. There are so many different ways of drinking your coffee here, and they are all made from ‘honest’ beans.

7. Harvest Coffee Brewers
The owners of Harvest Coffee Brewers used to work in Melbourne, where making coffee is considered a true art. With their obtained experience and skills, they returned to Rotterdam to set up a coffee bar as they know them in Melbourne: with delicious food and the perfect cup of coffee. In our opinion, their mission has certainly been successful.
At Harvest Coffee Brewers you enjoy sitting by the water, drinking a really good cup of coffee and eating delicious avocado toast, eggs benedict or – our favorite – french toast.
