This is a nice place to have a coffee on the terrace, but they also serve a typical Dutch breakfast, and great french toast called 'wentelteefje'.
This restaurant (breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks) has that old Rotterdam feeling to it. If you want to see a typical old Dutch brown bar (bruin cafe) feeling, go here. Very nice staff and even in winter they almost always have a terrace.

This is the newest trendy shoppingstreet in town. It's about ten minutes walk from my home and takes you right into the heart of the city. I recommend this is the route to take, because the Nieuwe Binnenweg is full of nice places to shop for food, clothes, design, flowers, and have lunch or diner.
