A different start to your day
Breakfast in historic Delfshaven.
Looking for breakfast in Rotterdam-West? Start your morning at Aelbrechtskolk 3b. At ALTSTADT, you can take your time over breakfast, meet a friend or catch up with a colleague before opening your laptop. The old harbour is right outside.
Choose our ALTSTADT breakfast with a croissant, bread, egg, cheese, granola and coffee or tea. Or start with American pancakes or yoghurt with granola and seasonal fruit. Find the current choices, extras and prices on our breakfast menu.
On weekdays, we open at 09:00 from Tuesday to Friday. At the weekend, take things a little slower: Saturday and Sunday from 09:30. Breakfast is served until 11:00, with lunch available until 16:00.
No reservation needed for breakfast or a workspace in the restaurant. Just drop in.

Bring your laptop
A place to work away from home.
Sometimes a different table is all you need. If you are looking for a café to work in Rotterdam, you are welcome in our restaurant throughout the day. Settle in for your emails, a piece of writing or that project you want to move forward.
Good Wi-Fi keeps you connected; lovely coffee and something to eat make it easy to stay. Work through the morning, take a lunch break and carry on in the afternoon. You choose the rhythm of your day, within our opening hours.
Working on your own or meeting a colleague? Drop into the restaurant. For a meeting that needs a room of its own, ask us about our separate spaces.
