Cafés in Kleve: Tips for Coffee, Breakfast and Cake

Kleve lies on the Lower Rhine, and its town centre invites you to stroll and stop for a bite. Whether you are looking for a leisurely breakfast, a relaxed afternoon coffee or a meeting place for friends, the right criteria will help you find the right café. In this guide we give you tips on how to do that. We deliberately leave out individual cafés, as what is on offer and opening hours change all the time.
Cafés in the Town Centre
You will find many cafés in the centre, near the pedestrian zone. That is handy if you want to combine shopping or a walk around town with a break. Schwanenburg Castle, the town's landmark, combines well with a visit to the town centre.
- Look for seats by the window or outside if you like watching the world go by
- It is best to visit cafés in the pedestrian zone in the morning or early afternoon
- Allow a little more time on Saturdays, as popular seats are quickly taken
💡 Tip: If you want to sit in peace, come during the week or outside the lunchtime hours.
Cafés with Outdoor Seating
On warm days, seats outdoors are especially popular. If you want to sit outside, arrive early in nice weather or phone ahead. When the weather is changeable, it is worth asking about covered seating.
Breakfast and Brunch
Many cafés serve breakfast, from a light version with bread rolls to a generous breakfast plate. Some have a brunch offer at weekends. Find out about times and prices beforehand, as the offers differ from venue to venue.
💡 Tip: For a weekend brunch, booking is advisable, especially for larger groups.
Coffee and Cake for Connoisseurs
If you care about good coffee, look at the menu: a selection of espresso drinks, filter coffee or special methods of preparation shows that coffee is taken seriously. Feel free to ask where the beans come from and have the method of preparation explained to you. Home-baked cake is also a good sign.
Cafés for Families
With children, different things matter than when adults meet up:
- Room for prams
- High chairs and a children's menu
- A play corner or outdoor seating where the children can move around
- A relaxed atmosphere in which it can occasionally get a bit louder
It is best to visit family-friendly cafés in the morning or early afternoon, when it is not yet so full.
Working and Meeting at a Café
If you want to work at a café or hold a business meeting, look for Wi-Fi, power sockets and a quiet corner. The best way to find out whether a café offers this is to check its website beforehand or phone. At peak times, workspaces are often scarce.
