As an American, I was especially surprised (in the best way) when my husband ordered me a salted caramel latte--I expected it to be overly sweet like it would be in the US, but it was perfectly balanced and genuinely one of the best I've had.

Though the…read morecafe is petite, it has an atmosphere of sit and socialize but also focus-in and be creative if one is working. Their iced vanilla latte is scrumptious and they even provide a biscotto on the side to complement. Taking iced coffee to-go is fairly difficult since they don't have the plastic cups, only paper ones for warm drinks. Altogether it's a smartly decorated cafe that makes you want to stick around and sip your favorite pick-me-up in the roasted coffee bean air.

If you don't live in Leiden, you need to petition them to open a branch wherever you live. We had a focaccia bagel and a plain Jane bagel. The former was extraordinary. It was something never imagined before. Imagine a hearty meal, but on a bagel. The cream cheese with chives was true to name. Also fresh and smoothly delicious. We bagged 2 bagels for next day's breakfast. The owner is friendly and loved sharing the story behind his bakery. We talked for so long that I had to get another coffee even though it was well past their closing time. The bagels are all made at the shop from fresh ingredients. It's a real bakery. They even have some cakes and desserts, if you so desire. The seating inside is cozy. The coffee good and strong. It is now one of my favorite stops in Leiden.
