Dear Americans, these are not at all the hashbrown that we long for (which are more like a rosti if we want to translate) - these are awful little patties of mashed potatoes, lightly fried and covered with some ghastly mayonnaise-based frite saus. please don't order them. you'll be as sad as I was.

I first saw By Jarmusch on an Instagram post and became intrigued. In the picture, the décor was…read morevery bright and open and seemed like it was inviting me in. I was also interested because this place supposedly served American style breakfast/brunch all day. As I really miss brunch, I knew I had to check it out. I went this past Sunday and the bright welcoming feel was definitely there. But so was a long American brunch style wait. The place was packed! But we didn't mind the wait and were seated about 20 minutes after arriving. The food that we saw coming from the kitchen looked good. Big fluffy pancakes, eggs and bacon and all sorts of breakfast delights. I didn't order that though. Nope, I thought I'd order a Philly cheesesteak in Rotterdam. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't a Philly cheesesteak. It was a nice beefy sandwich. Next time I'll likely stick to traditional breakfast type food as it did look good coming out. Oh, the steak and eggs were good! Service was a bit slow, but they were packed as I previously mentioned. I'll definitely go back again and order something different at a not so busy time.

If in Leiden you definitely need to add this to your list of places to try!

Gorgeous spot to enjoy this lovely town. We decided to visit Leiden today as we are staying in…read moreRotterdam for a few days before a cruise. On Wednesdays and Saturdays, they have a farmers market and so we decided to check it out. It was fantastic! If you arrive to Leiden Centraal,, it is maybe a five minute walk to where the market is held, just look it up on Google. Once we had walked around for a while, we decided it was time for some lunch and wanted to have lunch by the canal. Annie's was the perfect spot as you walked down the steps and the tables are literally right on the canal. I ordered the tuna sandwich and it was absolutely fantastic, a perfect blend of tuna, red onion, and other stuff I cannot describe, but it was fabulous. Husband had the chicken satay and he was very happy with his meal as well. We each had one drink and the total was approximately €40 Definitely recommend. Don't be in a hurry. Just enjoy!

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!

I really enjoyed the mini sandwiches and the quinoa salad the most. Two healthy warm drinks were also included in the high tea: carrot & orange and broccoli & cucumber/zucchini.

We played a game of Yahtzee since we were taking a break from our high tea meal. We also weren't rushed out during our time here so that was nice. We had a good experience dining here.
