Café Brecht

Café Brecht

A worn-wood café that feels like Berlin

Hours

Weekdays from 16:00, weekends from the afternoon, until around midnight

Address

Weteringschans 157, about 5 minutes on foot from Leidseplein

Scuffed wooden tables, a newspaper rack and soft lamps make this feel like a neighbourhood café lifted out of Berlin. It does coffee and sandwiches in the day, then beer and wine into the night. It sits a short step from the Leidseplein crowds but is far quieter. Take a window seat and watch the street.
