9 of the best terraces in Haarlem

Coffee Spot

A lovely waterfront terrace is something we wouldn't say no to. At Coffee Spot, you can enjoy your first caffeine fix of the day right by the Spaarne River, watching the boats sail by.

At Native, you'll feel like you're on vacation, especially when you settle down on their lovely terrace with brightly colored parasols. The food and drinks (especially the coffee!) are fantastic.

Pavilion Loef

Paviljoen Loef is in a fantastic location in Haarlem. Right on the water—on the Mooie Nel, to be precise—you'll find this restaurant, open in July and August. Loef is available for parties and events the rest of the year—and you definitely should!

Popular Desire

At Volkslust, you can spend the whole afternoon basking in the sun. It's the perfect spot for a true Burgundian experience. Another great feature: they have a saloon boat you can rent for birthday celebrations, for example.

Courtyard Without Worries

Both Amsterdam and Haarlem are teeming with charming courtyards. Our favorite in Haarlem: the Proveniershofje, where you'll find the charming Hofje Zonder Zorgen (Carefree Courtyard), where you can relax on the terrace.
