It was served on a nice little salad. Companion had the house burger - this was less successful but serviceable. It was more of a mini meatloaf burger.

Food was delicious. I had the cas-kas croquettes. My friend got the Caesar salad which was huge and looked good. All of the food came out surprisingly quickly. The service was friendly and prompt when we waved him over to order and requests. Note that Europeans tend to leave you to enjoy your food experience so just politely wave them over if you need anything. He also spoke English very well and the menus came in English. He said they were out of kid menus in English but translated the menu immediately so we could get the kids food ordered first thing. Highly recommend this street cafe if you're in Leiden. Good views, good service and good food.

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!

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.
