Start Your Day off with Rotterdam's Best Breakfast!…read more In the north part of the city next to the canal, on a brick laden street that will shake you gently awake if you're arriving by bike, is where the classic Bertmans is serving up some of the healthiest, tastiest, and most dynamic food Rotterdam has to offer. A breakfast menu that lasts all day makes it a perfect brunch if you're getting a late start to your day in this incredible metropolis. Their prices are modest with consideration of the quality of the food & in comparison to many other bistros in the city. Their location hides from the troves of people near the center, so you can enjoy a really peaceful experience either dining in the tiny interior of the cafe, or out on a terrace next to the canal. The inside can be a tight squeeze, and the decor resembles a Pinterest board for D-I-Y classic comfy Bistro Interior Design, or something to that effect. The outside is really lovely, and you'll be more comfortable with a beautiful view. Here you'll find vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options like fresh pressed juices, delectable raw crackers and spreads, quinoa bowls, delicious toasts, and THE BEST Gluten free pancakes I've ever had in my life. Crispy, salty buckwheat flapjacks with a drizzle of honey topped with basil and blueberries, and a cashew cream sauce. Service wasn't unusually friendly or lacking thereof, they were nice enough, just very busy and doing their best to be attentive to all. I love this place, it's at the top of my list for eateries in Rotterdam, and worth getting around to if your an early lunch or late breakfast kind of traveler.

Great coffee, all the pastries you can imagine (cheesecake in many flavors), a variety of lunch dishes, smoothies and trendy waters. Quick service, even though the place is crowded. I would really recommend to have a coffee or lunch here if you visit Rotterdam.
