Lekker Café

You'll find yourself on Carver Street in the Jewellery Quarter, where Lekker Café has quietly become one of those places locals actually queue for on weekend mornings. It's unpretentious but clearly gives a toss—the kind of spot where they're fussing over their coffee beans and getting the sourdough fermentation right, not just going through the motions. The Dutch influence runs through everything, from the stroopwafels to the broodnodig (proper open sandwiches), but they're not precious about it. Just good food, decent portions, and staff who seem genuinely pleased you're there.
