For the sweet pannenkoek they bring powdered sugar and syrup which was included (some places charge extra). Both the sweet and savory ones were delicious. Service was good. It was nice to sit outside on a sunny day and people watch. There is a water fountain just in front that kids can play with that's part of the square that the restaurant is on. I would definitely go back again the next time I'm in Leiden.

Decent little pancake house in the town square, overlooking the canal. We had a savory pancake and…read morea sweet one. The savory: a bit on the thick side - it actually seems more like two thin pancakes with the following stuffed in the middle, ham, tomatoes, mushrooms, opinions and cheese. The sweet: A thin pancake folded over filled with warm cherries and served with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. Of the two, my favorite was the sweet.

The staff is friendly and seems to know some regular customers, the atmosphere is relaxed, usually calm and welcoming with a dining room feel. This cafe is also friendly to the somewhat older generations who just want a regular good cup of coffee and a comfortable place to sit without having to worry about industrial design expecting them to climb stairs, sit on stools or chairs that are uncomfortably low for them, or tables out of convenient reach. Super no nonsense and quality coffee shop, and as a bonus feature they also sell ice cream

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.

Reservations are recommended to avoid disappointment for busy weekend nights and Sunday brunch. Food menu items regularly change and are of high quality and well prepared. Today's breakfast was great as usual and the portions are well sized and attractively priced; especially considering the location. In the summer the location has a great outside terrace with ample seating on lounge chairs, benches and deckchairs. For dinner their steaks are great; grilled on a charcoal grill and served on a wooden plank. Beer and wine selection is good. Prices are moderate and the place is frequented by a hip crowd.

Excellent. My fish was presented "whole" and called "dorade" or sea bream. So well prepared: simple and firm. It came with local vegetables and some french fries. The ambiance is relaxed, cool and hip! Lots of great music and beautiful, blond people! The views are just stunning, because the restaurant is on the beach, so you can watch the sea and wild waves. We saw spectacular clouds and sunset.

On top of that the people who work here are very pleasant and i raited this 5 stars because of the little details and pleasant surprises.

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!
