On the Nieuwe Binnenweg, 30ML lures you in with the scent of freshly roasted coffee, a small terrace when the sun is out and the smell of delicious cooking. The atmosphere is laid back, relaxed and creates a little oasis in the middle of this busy part of Rotterdam. Their drink menu is extensive with a great variety of teas, specials such as seasonal lattes and homemade lemonades and of course coffees.

The coffee, ah the coffee is everything lovers of this dark coloured life elixir want: the black coffees are dark, fragrant, steamy, hot and hit your veins with the caffeine hit of choice. The white coffees, I have been told, are equally delicious. To accompany your coffee, there is everything to tickle your fancy: vegan lemon poppy seed slice, pancakes, which are delicious, but treat yourself and order the deluxe version of the season.

Your sweet tooth is not aching? No worries, 30ML has your savoury hunger covered as well. The halloumi and hummus breakfast burrito hits the spot any time of the day; the tiny toasts are not tiny at all but the pick me up snack you needed; the poached eggs are brunch happiness on a plate; trainwreck Dutch cheese, cheddar, tomato bacon avocado spread grilled cheese or the tuna melt are everything you didn’t know you needed.  Take a load off or hop in and take your coffee on the go – walking by is just not an option.
