CLUB Cafe & Luncheonette

CLUB Cafe & Luncheonette is a daytime spot located in Rotterdam-West, in the Delfshaven neighborhood. The establishment is publicly listed at Aelbrechtskolk 29-31 and 29-31A, postal code 3025 HB Rotterdam. Business registries also link Club Delfshaven B.V. to Aelbrechtskolk 29. The registered activity is the operation of a restaurant.

Public information links the establishment to Arend Oosterlee. He is mentioned as the owner and had experience in various hospitality roles prior to the opening. The breakfast and lunch spot opened in early December 2025. A post on their own Instagram channel announced a soft launch for the following morning at 09:00 on November 30, 2025.

The concept is that of a neighborhood-focused daytime café-luncheonette. As such, the emphasis is on breakfast, lunch, coffee, and light fare. The location also has a distinct architectural context. The building dates back to 1912 and previously housed Het Wapen van Delfshaven. The interior design features references to the 1930s, drawing inspiration from Huis Sonneveld.

The role of other founders is not publicly recorded in the available material. It is mentioned that Oosterlee and his girlfriend lived in the neighborhood and had been discussing starting a business in Delfshaven for some time. She is not identified as a co-founder.

For coffee lovers, information regarding roasters and brewing methods is most relevant. The available data is not entirely consistent. Public listings mention Schot Coffee Roasters as the coffee supplier. It is also noted that the establishment continues to serve coffee from the nearby roaster Schot.

Additionally, Single Estate Coffee Roasters is publicly linked to the filter coffee at CLUB Cafe & Luncheonette. Posts from that roaster mention selected coffees that were available to try as filter coffee at the Rotterdam location. Filter coffee also appears in the establishment's own post regarding the soft launch. Consequently, filter coffee is the most concretely documented brewing method in the available material.

No further technical details are known regarding equipment, grind size, water recipes, or fixed coffee menus. Direct information about origin, plantation, processing, or certification of the coffee is also not publicly documented in the provided material.

The menu is described as seasonal. The establishment offers breakfast and lunch dishes, alongside coffee, tea, and pastries. Mentioned dishes include shakshuka, French toast, sandwiches, and a sourdough grilled cheese. Fresh bakes, cocktails, natural wines, craft beers, and bar snacks are also featured in public descriptions.

Some dishes are more specifically detailed. These include oatmeal with persimmon, shakshuka, a salad with carrot, halloumi, and quinoa, and a French onion soup toastie. The latter consists of gruyère, caramelized onion, and a small portion of onion soup on the side.

A portion of the menu is made in-house, including soups, soft drinks, pastries, and spreads. Their sourdough bread is sourced from Aap Noot Brood. These details paint a picture of a kitchen that works with house-made components, bread from an external supplier, and a rotating menu.

Alongside its daytime operations, there is information regarding evening programming. Plans have been mentioned for DJs, live music, workshops, and lectures. The establishment is described as a space where creative locals can find a platform. Specific titles for workshops or lectures have not been publicly recorded in the available material.

However, Jazz Club nights have been documented. One mention refers to an event on March 28, 2026, at 8:30 PM. Another public announcement mentions a Jazz Club on April 17, 2026, featuring live music in Delfshaven and the act COCOLICHE. Consequently, live music is more concretely documented than the other mentioned program elements.

Only limited data is available regarding sustainability. The menu is described as seasonal, and they work with local suppliers. The house-made production of certain items, such as soup and soft drinks, is also noted. However, no certifications, waste regulations, packaging policies, or direct standards for coffee sourcing have been documented.

CLUB Cafe & Luncheonette appeared in early 2026 in public hospitality overviews and profiles of new businesses in Rotterdam. Additionally, a municipal publication from December 17, 2025, regarding an operating permit has been recorded. Visitor platforms show review information, but no formal award or distinction is documented in the provided material.

For the Rotterdam coffee sector, CLUB Cafe & Luncheonette is primarily relevant as a recent addition to Delfshaven. The available information shows a daytime establishment offering coffee, lunch, seasonal dishes, and occasional evening programming. At the same time, some details remain limited in the public domain, particularly regarding coffee sourcing, brew profiles, and sustainability policies.
