Biergarten

slow saturday mornings are what schiestraat 18 seems built for. the street sits in a part of rotterdam that moves at its own pace, and biergarten picks up on that without making a thing of it. it's an independent spot with a reputation that's held up locally, which in a city that takes its coffee seriously means something. you don't need a reason to stop in beyond wanting a good cup and somewhere to sit with it. no agenda required. the offering is specialty, the standing is solid, and the neighborhood gives you enough to watch through the window if your laptop stays closed. start with a cortado and see how the morning goes from there.
