Right in the heart of the city center on the Gedempte Oude Gracht, you'll find a charming little breakfast and lunch spot called Hazel. It's owned by the same people as Toast. Their menu includes bowls, sandwiches, and sweet options. Hazel offers indoor seating and, weather permitting, a few outdoor tables. It's open from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Those who sleep late – because it is open from 10.00 a.m. – can have breakfast in the stylish Le Petit Café. Like a French bistro on the Gedempte Oude Gracht. The menu also includes French breakfast classics: from croissants to... croques en eggs. When the weather is nice you can sit outside and have a newspaper ready for you.

Breakfast all day every day. If that is your motto, Toast is the place for you. This sweet little place in the Kleine Houtstraat serves toasts, breakfast bowls, croissants and delicious fluffy pancakes. And that all day long. If it is cold, you can sit comfortably inside and if the weather is nice you can take a seat on the terrace on the shopping street side or in the chilled garden.

We definitely pass by a few times a month Cleeff on the Kleverparkweg. A corner café where it is often pleasantly busy, but rarely too busy. Sometimes we just order a latte to go, but we often stay in one of the vintage seats inside or outside on the sunny terrace. And now 023 has another Cleeff, with the same specialty coffee and an equally nice lunch menu. The popular café opened a second branch in the Frans Hals Museum in the colorful style of the museum. The door is also very open to non-museum visitors and when the sun comes out, this is one to remember; You can enjoy yourself under a parasol in the completely renovated courtyard.

You will also find this accessible business right in the center. Hare of the Dog is a brunch place and is everything you would expect: with richly filled dishes. If you have breakfast, brunch or lunch here - the difference is never completely clear - then one dish is enough for the rest of the morning and afternoon. Pancakes, French toast, eggs (royale, benedict, florentine), wraps, salads, sandwiches. Can you choose? We don't anymore with all those goodies.

Sagittarius! Breakfast all day! By Lima says so itself and this is very nice because it means shamelessly sleeping through the day, and then still being able to sit down as if it were early morning is. Top. In addition, By Lima is just as beautiful (see the Insta) and uncomplicated as Native (also in Haarlem, you can read more about that here) with the difference that At By Lima it's really about breakfast, lunch, brunch and cake (at Native it's just a little more about good coffee and tea and so on). Besides, By Lima is your man (sort of speaking of course) in Haarlem for your tastiest vegan meal.

In April 2026, a new business with the same owner, Flore, will open across the street.

Frenchie is truly one of those places for the whole day, every day. From early till late. Cozy corners for long hangouts, good coffee (Coffee & Coconuts), An juice bar with incredibly delicious fresh juices (really fresh, not that fake fresh one - I always have a really bad appetite), sweet cookies and cake and a healthy lunch with attention to the tasty, slightly less healthy cravings that cause choice stress. Oh, you've already left. Please read here first to find out what else we have to say about it Frenchie Haarlem!
