As third wave coffee goes, Borgman delivers distinctively unique and uplifting brew. 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.

They also have a nice selection of loose teas and of course the ubiquitous fresh mint tea. Their muffins, brownies, appeltart, and cheesecake are so good and perfectly compliment their coffee and tea. The chocolate muffins and cappuccino muffins are my favorites. If you are a little more hungry or prefer something savory, their toasties and other sandwiches are very delicious. The location is great with many big windows that let in any sunlight if it's not so nice out or you need to focus on homework. if you prefer, when the weather is good, there is outdoor seating for people watching and soaking in a little sun. They also have wifi! it's my favorite spot for studying in the afternoons.

Great selection of coffees, teas, simple food (sandwiches mostly), and just a lovely atmosphere (I swear). You'd never guess since it's located on a rather dire square in central Leiden in what looks like the remains of a trailer home. But trust me. Just give it a shot. Free wifi, central location and ample seating (and chilled-out staff) make it the perfect place to do some work on a rainy day. Major free tip: Order the sweet chili cappuccino. It will change your life.

SUNDAY: CLOSED MONDAY: CLOSED…read moreTUESDAY: CLOSED Chummy's is technically open for a whole, generous 6 hours and 15 minutes, four days of the week (Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, from 10:15 to 16:30). So, if you are a normal human and want to get some coffee on your way to work in the morning.... SORRY, they don't open until 10:15, and then only on 3 of the 5 days of the normal work-week. Also, you better rush to get there before they closed up shop again, at 16:30, a full half hour before most people who work in an office get to leave. This week, they were also closed on Wednesday and Thursday. So, you have to ask... Do they even want to be in business? Also, students and remote workers are not welcome, as the sign clearly says "SORRY NO LAPTOPS TABLETS" which is pretty much at odds with almost every other coffee shop on the planet, and out of touch. Coffee shops where people can work and study become valuable local fixtures with loyal customers, who then promote your store to others. This is lost on short-sighted owners who don't see the value of welcoming people. I live nearby and I've only caught them open ONCE, and to be honest, the coffee was decent but it's still not worth the risk of spending your time to walk there, and finding them closed (which they usually will be). Recommend you just head to Borgman & Borgman instead, https://www.yelp.com/biz/borgman-en-borgman-leiden as this place is just a hobby for the owners. Their business space on Breestrat would be better utilized by another store that is actually interested in doing business.
