Korenbeurs

Rotterdam


Set in an internal courtyard and on the front terrace of a listed 18th-century building (now a branch of the Schiedam library system), this lovely cafe encourages its patrons to linger over a book, a magazine or a laptop while enjoying a coffee or a lunch of sandwiches (€3 to €9), soups and salads.
