This place is well-hidden! Somehow whenever one thinks of a place to meet for coffee in Leiden it's…read morealways Roos, Lebkov, Anne&Max, or Coffee Company... All of those places are great, but this one is still worth considering because: A) It's next to the Pieterskerk, aka in an area with relatively few other cafes (ok you could walk 3 minutes down the road to the busy area but one gets lazy when living in such a small town) B) It's still relatively unknown and has an unpronounceable name, so you're very likely to get a table C) They make great coffee, and I've heard they have insanely good sandwiches. D) It's adorable and very cozy. E) I'm pretty sure it faces the part of the square where they used to hang people. Perhaps a turn-off for some people, I think it's kind of cool - counterbalances the quaintness. Worth a look anyway!

De Catwalk has the best coffee I've had in the Netherlands. Their espresso and cappuccino also…read morehappen to be fair trade by Segafredo. 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.

Side note - comes with the skinniest shoe string fries, not your typical dutch fries so you need to ask for that separately. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals. Would definitely come back here if in the area again. Lekker!

We dropped by Soups and Salads to cure our shopping spree induced starvation. Though we expected to…read morejust fill our stomachs, we ended up finding the perfect place to get take-out dinner.

Because of this, Soups and Salads is our go-to for any night we don't feel like cooking. Luckily, there's also seating inside, allowing you to drop by for a quick sandwich or a cup of their delicious lentil soup (which you can make even more delicious by adding a topping of your choice). In short, after your first visit, Soups and Salads is sure to be your new comfort food.
