Run by its host neighbourhood, Oud-Zuid, the ZuiderMRKT is a charming, bustling market bursting with fresh and organic products grown and harvested by local farmers. No matter the season, whether meat, veggies, or dairy, there’s always a great variety of top‑quality ingredients.

While at first glance this may seem like any old brown café, we can assure you that Café Welling is actually so much more. Despite its humble appearance, Café Welling is a true scholarly round table, as many creatives & intellectuals have been meeting here ever since it opened.

One of our evergreen favourites for our morning jolt, Coffee District is beautiful & inviting whether you're lucky enough to snap up a spot on the bench outside in or simply grabbing a cappuccino to go.

Snag a few extra chocolate chip cookies to bring home with you for when the craving inevitably strikes.
