There are numerous cafes, bars and restaurants in Delft. And that’s no exaggeration. Below are a few that we particularly enjoy.

Bierhuis De Klomp. First founded as a café and beer house back in the 17th-century, the Bierhuis now touts itself as the oldest beer bar and café in Delft. Although the building dates back much earlier, to 1538, the café itself has been open for all manner of drinks since 1652. https://bierhuisdeklomp.nl
Want to enjoy 200+ beers? Locus Publicus is the perfect bar. Also perfect name. https://followthebeer.nl/locus-publicus/
At Humus you’ll find truly delicious vegetarian and vegan cuisine. https://hummustakeaway.squarespace.com
De Centrale is a high-end restaurante and wine bar. Delicious food that come with description. https://decentraledelft.nl
Café de Oude Jan has one of the nicest biergarten around. And just by it, you’ll find the homonymous restaurant. https://www.oudejan.nl
Bij Best has the best coffee, best cake, and best sandwiches in town (at least for this humble local). https://www.bijbest.nl/en/
Café du Centre is simply beautiful, cozy, and perfect for a couple of hours submerged in a good read. https://www.uitdekunstdelft.nl
