Vayni's Coffee in Rotterdam Centrum

I went with a colleague to get some coffee at around 1 PM on 18 September 2025 (Thursday). There were at least three baristas behind the counter and only two people ahead of us, yet we had to wait nearly 10 minutes to be served. When we finally ordered, we were informed that there was no more tiramisu latte or cold brew, so I just ordered an iced Americano. After getting my order, I went over to the self-service station to add some syrup to it, as that's usually where customers can get sugar, syrup and serviettes. Upon seeing that there was no syrup there, I went back to the counter to ask for it. This was the conversation that ensued between me and one of the female baristas working at the time: Me: "Can I get some syrup added to my drink please?" SLCBarista: "Then you have to pay." Me: "Okay, I will pay." SLCBarista: "No, pay for another drink." Me: "But...why? You can't just add some syrup to this drink?" SLCBarista: "NO BUT THEN WE LOSE MONEY." Appalling service all around.

This morning I got a steak tartare sandwich for the second time. For €5.25 (!), you'd expect a tasty, well-filled sandwich. Unfortunately, the steak tartare was already a very meager, thin layer, and the white baguette wasn't fresh but tough. I go here almost daily, but I won't be getting a sandwich again. It's a shame, as there are few alternatives in the area.

🫡Good place,friendly and helpfull staff❤️Buds are good too.

Great Starbucks. Located at Rotterdam/The Hague Airport. You really need a plane ticket to get in. The staff is incredibly friendly and fast. The coffee and food are simply excellent, Starbucks-level, and the prices are too. Since it's an airport, it can get very busy at times and then become incredibly quiet the next moment. The tables can sometimes be a bit messy and dirty, but when it's quieter, they're quickly cleaned up. We always come back here when we fly from Rotterdam Airport. Highly recommended.

I went to get a coffee using a loyalty points system. I did not know though that this particular store was a franchise, and not a branch, so they can not accepts these points. I had already activated it, and so lost the points (as it has to be used in a particular amount of time). I was not angry at the baristas or manager, but I was a bit disappointed. In came Laura. Let’s just say, she sorted me out and I didn’t even ask for anything. What a freaking star. I don’t live here, but if I did, I would return every time just for her. Thanks Laura.
