Stop by for breakfast, lunch or drinks, catch up with friends or find a spot to get some work done.👩🏽‍💻

They serve speciality coffee from different roasters, matcha sourced directly from Japan and fresh homemade iced teas. And when the weather is warm, cool down with an affogato. 🍨

The creative atmosphere makes it a great place to work, especially with good coffee to keep you going throughout the day.

Also keep an eye out for their monthly Sunday Brunch, where good music, food, drinks and community come together. 💜

It’s time for a romantic summer in our city 💜

With so many things to do during the warmer months, summer is also the perfect time for a little romance. After all, your date will probably look even better in the sunshine.

So we rounded up a couple of things to do in Rotterdam this summer. Of course, there is much more, so follow us for more tips this season 🤩

🎬 Watch an outdoor movie
There will be lots of outdoor movie pop-ups this year, such as at @stationbergweg, @demaaskantine, @pleinbios, @roffamonamour, @keilecafe and Floating Cinema (@maritiemdistrict). Do you know more? Tip them in the comments!

🛍️ Visit a market
During summer, there are also plenty of markets in Rotterdam, like at @oaserotterdam, @rotterdamseoogst, @floatingpasar, @swan_market, @fleardam and @dekaaimarkt.

🍽️ Plan a romantic dinner
There are many restaurants where you can enjoy a seasonal dinner, and a summer menu is definitely one to remember when you can sit outside. Just like here at @restaurant_heroine, where they serve a special summer menu.

🌳 Chill at a park
Not only perfect for a date, but also for time with friends. The trees provide the perfect shade for some cooling down time. Which park is your favourite in Rotterdam?

Cool spots near the water in Rotterdam ☀️

The temperatures are rising again, and with the weekend coming up, you’d better be prepared to cool down. And you know what they say, it’s cooler near the water. 🌊

Of course, you can take a dip in the Maas or in a pool to cool down, but if you’re looking for a spot to hang out, these might be the places for you. ☀️

Save this spot in the heart of  @mahorotterdam for your next dinner 🍕

At @depizzabakkersrotterdam , you’ll find a completely renewed spacious terrace that is perfect for Italian outdoor dinners. When the sun is out, you can enjoy it here all day long. It’s a little slice of Italy in Rotterdam, especially if you love Aperol and pizza.

We tried it out and, after our aperitivo, went straight for the pizza. It’s such a nice spot in the middle of the city, surrounded by greenery. Of course, we couldn’t leave without dessert…

De Pizzabakkers also host fun events, such as their Boozy Pizza Brunch. And they have a daily happy hour until 18:00, with Aperol at a special price. Follow them to see what’s coming up next!

📍 @depizzabakkersrotterdam 
Pannekoekstraat 68A, 3011 LK Rotterdam
