The Sue Store (SUE)
Gluten-free vegan bliss
I personally love the tiramisu, rocky road, lavender lemon, and the very berry. The double choco cookie regularly finds its way to my bag as well...

A slice of Paris
From crepes with Comte cheese and truffles, Croque Monsieur, and delicious pastries to even a doggie croissant for your faithful four-pawed friend.

Freddy's Comfort Food
Southern Comfort
Freddy does things to chicken in an OG southern US way that is rarely done well. They have crunchy and juicy chicken, but even more, they have pazazz.

Bun
Stone oven baked sandwiches
Bun, once a Blijdorp pop-up, is now a Rotterdam West staple. Fresh buns, cool vibes, and standout options like the Vegan Extravaganza. Worth the wait!

Sticky Bar
Best sticky rice in Rotterdam
Sticky bar is the place where I fell in love with mango sticky rice. It's a small, family-run spot, with a local community feel.
