Surviving breakfast

They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you’re sick and tired of cornflakes or not-so-great coffee in your faculty, don’t fret. There are a few places in Delft that open early and even have special breakfast spreads.

Bakker Bart
Want a delicious breakfast bargain? Head to the Bakker Bart. From 8:00 to 10:00 every day they serve a special breakfast menu for €2.75, which includes a cup of tea/coffee, orange juice, a mini sandwich with ham or cheese and a croissant with jam. “It’s a popular deal, we get a lot of people in for breakfast through the week,” said Mark Schonhoven, the manager.
Where: Brabant Turfmarkt 80
Opening Time: 8:00 (except Mondays)

CoffeeCompany
Another one for the early risers, CoffeeCompany opens at 7:30, and breakfast won’t cost more than a few euros. “For breakfast you can order muesli with yoghurt or milk or a croissant. You can also have a croissant with raisins or chocolate,” said Elisa De Ruejter, the manager. A smooth latte is a favourite with students, or you can get one with additional flavours if you pay a bit extra.
Where: Markt 19
Opening time: 7:30 on weekdays

Hema/Ikea/Jumbo
None of these might sound like great breakfast venues, but you’ll be surprised to learn that they all have breakfast menus for a steal. All-purpose store Hema has a breakfast offer for €2, which includes a cup of coffee, orange juice, a croissant with jam and an egg sandwich. Breakfast is served only until 10:00, and they open at 9:00 Monday to Saturday. Jumbo has a breakfast buffet of sorts. For €1.50 you can choose three items from a range of items such as fresh juice, yoghurt with topping, eggs, bacon, baguette, croissants etc. If you’d like more, you have to pay 50 cents extra. Breakfast is served from Monday to Saturday from 8:00 to 10:00 and from 9:00 to 11:00 on Sundays. At IKEA breakfast starts at 9:00, and is worth a shot. Besides a €1 breakfast platter, you can get an omelette or pancakes for 99 cents too. Breakfast is served until 10:30.

Finnley’s
These guys don’t open super early, but till October they start at 9am, which is early enough for a Full English Breakfast! Get a plate piled with toast, tomato, beans, eggs, black pudding, sausage and bacon for 7.5€. If you’re not up for all the meat, try their Continental Breakfast for 6.95€. Served from 9:00 to 14:00, it includes croissant, bread, jam, orange juice, butter and a boiled egg. Or you can simply get yoghurt with fruits or a basic sandwich.
Where: Markt 58
Opening time: 10.00 daily (except Monday)
