Coffeeshop Charlois is a familiar name on the south side of Rotterdam, known for its no-nonsense approach and loyal customer base.
It may not look like much from the outside, but inside you’ll find a steady and welcoming coffeeshop that has been part of the local scene for years.
Visitors often appreciate the honest atmosphere and straightforward service that make it easy to feel comfortable right away.
Thanks to its position outside the busiest city center streets, it has more of a neighborhood vibe than a tourist draw.
Charlois offers a clear and balanced menu with both light and stronger strains, plus a few hash options for those who prefer something different.
The pricing is fair compared to other shops, and regulars highlight the fact that the quality is consistent. If you’re new, the staff will point you in the right direction without making it complicated.
The vibe is laid-back and mostly local, with students, workers from the area and longtime regulars forming the core of the crowd. It’s not a flashy hangout but a calm and practical spot, making it appealing if you want to avoid overly touristy coffeeshops. Seating is limited but comfortable enough for a quick pause.
Located in the west of Schiedam, away from the center, Pas Op is easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. But regulars like it that way — less waiting, less hassle.
💡 Tip: Don’t forget your ID. Even if you’ve been here 100 times — Dutch law is strict.
