    Specialty coffee in the city center of Rotterdam in a cosy hipster cafe :) the coffee is amazing! The breakfast is also very good but quite small portions. Try the cappuccino and a nice French toast with mascarpone and red fruits :)

    A really great place well decorated with nice food! I was in Rotterdam for 3 days and their menu was so good that I came here all my stay for having brunch. I'm not usually a big fan of brunches but I must say that I found their menu quite original (compare of what we could have in France). It is well executed, the tastes are there and are perfectly balanced. The staff is really nice and smiling and you're serve quite quick. The coffee is also really good. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Rotterdam!

    I love that they have a wide variety of breakfast options - from standard avocado toast and pancakes to Turkish eggs (Cilbir) and Pulled Duck Croque. Another advantage is that they are open early at 7 am on the weekdays. They even have a cheaper option of breakfast platter until 10 am. All in all, a lovely breakfast place you can visit, especially if you’re looking for something out of the ordinary🤗

    Nice concept of this cafe to be placed under a viaduct. It is quite big with different options to sit.I saw people studying/working there. So, I guess it's not of that places that you ask you again and again to order. So a good option for non-Dutch people. Food was really tasteful and fancy! The prices of food were really good for the Dutch standards and especially for the quality that they offer there. I found coffee a little bit expensive for the portion and personally I didn't like the taste of the filter coffee that I took. Totally recommend it!! I will go again to try also the breakfast option that they offer. Before 10 am around 7 euros if I remember correctly

    By the time we got there (around 1pm on a Saturday) they had run out of the big majority of dishes so we just ordered coffees. Both the atmosphere and the drinks were very nice, hip and stylish. They have plenty of indoor seats and a lovely terrace along the east side of the Hofbogen.

    I love coming here. The staff has always welcomed me with a glass of water and a smile. Sometimes it may get busy, but luckily it does not affect the quality of the coffee and friendly service. Alongside your coffee order, there is a card with details about your coffee. I think this is a really nice touch! Great food with decent prices. Lastly, it's also a nice location where lots of different people gather, from families to students to young professionals, which makes it a vibrant cafe!

    I like the interior and decorations of this cafe. Lots of plants. They have so many seats and even some can charge your laptop. I think they don’t have a menu so just order whatever you want. I ordered an iced filter coffee, which is a little bit sour for me, but still good. Definitely will come here to enjoy another glass of coffee next time 😊

    Very cool spot for breakfast, with a great relaxed vibe. Surprised to find my coffee was somewhat sour. Must be a funky new blend? Would still recommend!

    I can write a whole thesis paper about how much I love Man Met Bril, but well I am speechless. The coffee. The cronuts. Super tasty, diverse and affordable breakfast menu items. The vibes. The staff. Simply my personal best place to be in Rotterdam.

    Obviously a real great place for coffee. Meeting or laptop-moment all work fine. But the food is amazing too. Went for the sticky tofu which had spice from kimchi Smokey bbq and crispy tofu. And a cronut for the first time in my life. Recommendable.

    Great place for excellent coffee, breakfast and lunch, houses in a former railway station. Coffee beans are roasted on site, next to the tables. You can check out their menu online and staff is also very friendly and can give you recommendations regarding their coffee.

  • 2/5 Theodore A. K. 5 months ago on Google
    Two coffees take away 11,85€ Ridiculous to say the least! Food is good but also overpriced. The echo in the space is bad for normal conversations

  • 4/5 Sofia Y. 11 months ago on Google
    I had just a coffee here, but I waited 20 min or even more to get it. This was the only thing which I didn't like. Overall, coffee was nice and place looks cozy. There are many charges next to tables, so you can work or study here with a laptop. Nice place to relax if you don't hurry anywhere:)

    After being in over 10+ cafes in Rotterdam, this is most charming and amazing! Why? - very spacious inside with lots of plants - delicious coffee and they have the whole mini coffee factory there - extremely kind personal who bring you free 0.5 of water in the hot day - beautiful terrace

  • 5/5 Igor O. 8 months ago on Google
    The atmosphere is just great. The service is also good - very friendly waitresses, always serving a bottle of water at the beginning. The coffee is amazing too. Overall, a very good place to sit, relax and drink coffee.

  • 5/5 Michele C. 1 year ago on Google
    The breakfast deal is great - A glass of orange juice, a cup of black coffee, avocado toast with a poach egg, chia and croissant with butter and jam. It’s a great deal, and truly the best way to start the day. I packed the croissant for lunch. 😉 Coffee - I took the filter coffee. The strong citrusy taste came when the coffee cooled to medium temperature. It wasn’t there when I drank it as it was first set down. It was more nutty in the beginning, as it cool, it brought in a citrus taste when I first sipped it and then turned into kind of a toffee taste. It’s quite mild and mellow. I usually prefer something more intense but I like how it has different taste at different stages.

    I had gone here in the afternoon with a friend for a cup of coffee. This coffee brand is an established brand among the more experienced coffee drinkers. I am not a coffee specialist but I do like a good cup of coffee. You can sit inside or outside at this place and also eat something. We drank coffee here and ate something tasty. The coffee is roasted here as well. It is a nice flat white that I had. Besides that we had the hazelnut cake and white chocolate cake which were both delicious. The staff was very nice. It took a little while when our first order was taken but after that everything went pretty fast. The place is quite big. The interior is large because, among other things, the roastery is also inside, but besides that there is also plenty of room to sit. The interior is decorated with light colors and tiles on the wall. The plants inside and the wooden interior give it a cozy atmosphere. There is also a large terrace for the coffee shop attached. When we were inside there was no music playing in the store. (What I always find unfortunate). All in all. a good place for a nice cup of coffee!

    Very good cofee, the staff is really nice and they help you with order and suggestions. It seems like a small family business but not really sure. The food was really good and the prices are reasonable i beleive. The avocado toast is 10/10 and the croissant is perfect. Totaly recommand this place 👍

  • 2/5 Fatih O. 1 year ago on Google
    I saw on many websites that this coffeeshop supposed to be the best coffeeshop in Rotterdam and it did had many high google reviews. So eager as we were, we wanted to try this coffeeshop.. 1 word for the cofee, Sour! The personel is friendly, just when I asked them about the coffee, they really didn't know what they were talking about..First they said, its fermented..then it wasn't, they said its geisha coffee..Original Geisha is very expensive, so i doubt its real Geisha coffee and the taste of Geisha coffee, yes, has some sourness inside, but its not as sour as I had in this coffeeshop ( its extremely sour) . All in All, it was a dissapointment.. Real coffee-lovers would not appreciate this place.. 2 stars for the friendly lady and the fact that they try to do somethig else, even it was not succesfull..and the brownie? Just normal.

  • 1/5 I T. 1 year ago on Google
    Sorry but how does this place deserve a 4.6 rating? Had an avocado toast with basically *barely* any avocado on it... I would say it was the same amount as if you put butter on toast???? How can you even call this an avocado toast? Also had a flat white and found the coffee to be sour. I ordered an orange juice but never even got it.

  • 4/5 Dide K. 1 year ago on Google
    A nice chill place to sit down and relax. The coffee is good and they provide a reusable metal straw, which is good in practice but when I looked inside the straw it was kind of dirty so I drank without it. Definitely recommend the cronuts, especially the panna cotta one was delicious.

  • 5/5 Max S. 2 years ago on Google
    Super cool and hip place but the coffee is equally delicious! Had a cheese croissant and it was amazing as well. A lot of people working and studying in the cafe but there is sufficient space to chill out and have a drink too. The staff were very friendly which is always a big plus.

  • 5/5 Robert B. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious breakfast burrito and great coffee. Crisps were a little stale but we did get food at the end of the day. Bag may need to be kept sealed to jeep them fresh. Otherwise great place with very friendly staff

  • 4/5 mengli l. 2 years ago on Google
    Great croissant and burrito. Coffee too sour for my taste. Would be good to have hooks in the toilets:)

  • 5/5 Ahmer A. 4 years ago on Google
    Great coffee selection, you can have it at the cafe, take away or buy the beans here. It has a roaster right inside the cafe. We particularly liked the carrot cake, which is actually supplied by Urban Bakery. It is really good. The plants add a nice touch to the interior of the cafe and the location under the rail tracks is particularly interesting as well.

  • 5/5 Bop W. 2 years ago on Google
    Best coffee spot in Rotterdam, and maybe even the Netherlands! I've been coming here every week for the last 6 years, and I have yet to find a better Flat White anywhere else. Great coffees, excellent lunch menu that keeps evolving over time, and the Cronuts are godly. If you order their (roasted in-house) coffee beans online they will deliver it by bike to your doorstep.

👍 Had a delicious brunch with my mom here. Food was great and served very fast. The service was friendly but, unfortunately, a bit disorganized and chaotic at times. We liked the atmosphere and the location. We recommend visiting Dudok!

🫤 Disappointing. Always crowded and so much recommended place for Middle Eastern cuisine, was quite a disappointment. Because of the crowdedness and the acoustics, it is impossible to have a conversation without shouting at each other. The basics, such as hummus and labneh were okay, and it’s definite...
