Where to have breakfast in central Leiden
Match breakfast to your route: Anne & Max is on Gangetje beside the market, Bagels & Beans and Tootje are on Haarlemmerstraat, Roos is on Botermarkt, and Brasserie Rumour is near Pieterskerk.
Opening times differ by day, particularly at weekends. Check each venue's official website before you set out.
Plan breakfast around your first activity
Check whether you want a quick coffee and pastry or a long brunch; the two do not fit the same timetable. If you have a timed museum ticket or train, choose a venue on the route and verify its opening time that morning.
Weekend brunch is popular and small cafés may fill quickly. Dietary options, reservations and kitchen closing times vary, so consult the venue directly rather than assuming every item is served all day.
