Then join us at the SCA Competition Stage at 3PM as we announce this year’s winner! All nominated cafés and their communities are invited to come together, show their support, and discover who will take home the title of Rotterdam’s Favourite Café 2026. Come cheer on your favourite and celebrate the people and places that make Rotterdam’s coffee scene what it is.
