Kaafi

Empty tables against a wood-slat and grey wall at Kaafi, lit by small wall-mounted lamps with plants tucked between panels

Kaafi sits on Prinsestraat in the Kortenbos quarter, a short walk from the Grote Kerk, and pairs a rotating list of guest roasters with a brunch menu that mixes American, British and Pakistani cooking. The team runs coffee through a Marco SP9 automatic brewer alongside manual filter, and the kitchen leans into dishes like a Kimchi French toast that has become the shop's signature order.

It opened when the Dutch specialty scene was still small and has kept a loyal following since, drawing praise for its multi roaster approach rather than a single house blend. The room stays open seven days a week from morning into mid afternoon, with the kitchen cutting off an hour before the doors close.
