Urban Espresso Bar / UEB WEST

Had a great breakfast to start the day! We had a fruit granola yogurt and a breakfast plate with cappuccino. Food and drinks were both delicious. We couldn't finish the breakfast plate but the staff was kind enough to pack it so that we could have it to go. They also have wifi, friendly for digital nomads too.

More people should know how amazing of a ketchup they make. They should be famous for it or something. And then, they most be sued for having an addictive toast -- the sweet potato & lettuce one! I would eat it every day if I could. Good food and coffee, friendly staff, and nice atmosphere:).

Coffee and staff are lovely, there's space for both those who want to use laptops and who don't. However, the food was quite expensive and not very tasty- my toastie was 9 euros (with ketchup), and it lacked a lot of flavour/salt. For this price, I expect better.

The atmosphere here is really nice. It's a good place to grab a coffee and read a book or open your notebook and work. The staff is helpful and friendly, and the service is efficient. They have several options in their food menu, which fits all tastes.

Pro: best banana bread of my life and smoothest milk foam in a cappuccino I’ve ever had / contra: 1) takeaway coffee takes 10 minutes to be prepared (which does not include the time it takes the baristas to notice people queueing at the takeaway window) and the coffee itself always tastes burnt which must have something to do with the espresso machine.

This cafe is just okay, but nothing more to it. The ambience is nice, and the staff is helpful. However, it’s probably just not right for me. As I kept exploring more breakfast spots, I went here for a quick breakfast bite. Firstly, I couldn’t find anything interesting on the breakfast menu to try out. I’m not a fan of uitsmijter served here, so that wasn’t an option. Nothing else caught my eye, so I asked the waiter if it was possible to make an omelette (which wasn’t on the menu!), and they kindly agreed. It was sort of okayish. I tried a piece of carrot cake with my coffee (which was good!), and it was again fine, though a bit dry, but it didn’t taste like something I would want to come back and try again. I mean, the tastiest thing in the cake was the cheese frosting which is a simple cheese cream with powdered sugar, and this is not the part you usually love your cakes for🤷🏻‍♀️

Best coffee i had in Rotterdam so far, perfect temperature, acidity and overall balance. Their caramel cake was also nice

Their cake selection is excellent and lunch options very experimental and tasty. Coffee is not the best tbh, but it‘s alright! Staff is friendly and you can work there with your laptop

Walked into the Urban Espresso Bar on a Wednesday afternoon, and it was quite crowded. In the front were families and friends, in the back the hipsters typing furiously on their Apples. I joined them and ordered a black coffee. The friendly staff served the coffee quickly and informed me of the wifi password, which was renamed 'maximaal2uur' (maximum2hours) after people camped out in the cafe all day, Starbucks style. The coffee tasted pretty good, nothing too special if you're looking for an extraordinary experience. The place itself is nice to sit at, tables with reading material and some nice music in the background. Especially on a sunny day, the windows make sitting here a relaxing experience. All in all a nice place to work and sit at.

Nice hipster place to work and have a coffee during the week and also in the week end! In particular, during sunny days, there are huge windows and small tables outside. The staff is always friendly, smiling and easy-going! I easily spend a full afternoon here with a relaxing selection of music in background and some coffe or tea. I tried also the cheese cake and the chocolate cake: they were really good! Pay attention during lunch time, it is quite busy!
