"Cafe LaBru" in Rotterdam is an artful cafe/bar that feels like a friend's living room. There's always art & photographs that define its style...

"Little Italy" in Rotterdam is exactly like a deli of any Italian city. They even have ready-made meals like trout lasagne. Dessert is homemade tiramisu...

"Sajoer Cafe" in Rotterdam is great for having a break from sight-seeing. I always go there on Saturdays after yoga for a chai latte & a mangolicious bowl.

"Heilige Boontjes" in Rotterdam is a welcoming coffee shop that gives youngsters who've had problems with crime a second opportunity to get back on track.

"Boguette" is my prime spot to recuperate so I can continue exploring Rotterdam. This café/snack bar is known for its bubble tea and Vietnamese baguettes.

"Boudewijn" in Rotterdam is for people who really can't get enough of beer. What has really captured by heart at this Belgian beer cafe is the food...

"Capri" in Rotterdam is where locals go for their first summer ice cream. Popular with adults & children alike, their chocolate reminds me of my childhood.
