Have breakfast in Alkmaar at Anne&Max: by the water, with freshly brewed coffee in one hand and the newspaper in the other. With the soft morning sun on your face, you see the city slowly awakening. Here tranquility and bustle meet and you always enjoy a breakfast prepared with attention.

A living room in the heart of the city 

Anne&Max Alkmaar is tucked away between the city’s two most famous shopping streets, right across from the Platte Stenenbrug. Our space has large windows that let the morning light stream in cozy . You can relax for a moment in the cozy seating areas by the window while the city outside slowly wakes up. From the large table, you can enjoy your first cup of coffee, a book, and a delicious breakfast in Alkmaar. 

On Wednesdays and Saturdays, the market sets up shop in the neighborhood, bringing a lively atmosphere to cozy in the morning. Are you coming back from shopping, or are you just looking for a quiet spot? You’ll find both here. 

A favorite among early risers: Max’s Breakfast 

A good breakfast starts with simplicity and quality. And you can see that reflected in our menu. The Max’ Breakfast is a favorite among our regulars: a small platter with yogurt, homemade granola, and fresh fruit; a vegan croissant; scrambled eggs with bacon or salmon; and a glass of juice. Everything i organic , and made with love. 

The Fruit & Grains Bowl is also popular. Pair it with a freshly brewed filter coffee, cappuccino, or flat white. And if you’d like to linger at the table a little longer, ask for our Breakfast Platter for two to share. 

Check out the full breakfast menu here and get inspired by our hot breakfast options, cold bowls, and croissants. 

A sunny terrace or breakfast on the water 

When the weather is nice, you’ll be sitting in one of the best spots in Alkmaar. The terrace along the canal is sunny and cozy . With heated cushions in the spring and fall, you can enjoy your coffee here while taking in the view of the old town. 

For an extra special experience, reserve a spot on our flower barge. This charming boat is moored next to the terrace and is a popular spot for groups, baby showers, or a breakfast for two, right in the middle of the water. 

Coffee with a Story 

Every morning starts with coffee. At Anne&Max, we serve coffee that’s more than just a flavorful blend. In our coffee supply chain, we work directly with coffee farmers in Peru, so we know where our beans come from and how we’re contributing to fair production. 

Breakfast with the kids or just by yourself 

At Anne&Max, everyone is welcome: whether you’re holding your child’s hand, carrying a laptop under your arm, or just coming alone. For kids, there’s a play area with books and games, so you can enjoy your breakfast in peace. For laptop users, there are high tables with electrical outlets. And one thing applies to everyone: here, you can truly take some time for yourself.

The city is waking up—and so are you 

Alkmaar’s charm in the morning is undeniable. Stores are opening their doors, and the canals are bathed in the tranquility of the early hours. Take a stroll along Waagplein or discover the Gouden Straatje in the Gangenstelsel, a charming little alleyway lined with small shops. Then head back to our canal-side terrace for another cup of coffee—or an extra croissant. It’s all part of the experience.
