Right between downtown Breda and the Ginneken neighborhood, the day flows seamlessly from one moment to the next: from a quiet morning with breakfast and your first cortado to a long afternoon when the tables fill up with lunch, good company, and maybe a drink that goes on just a little longer than planned. In the winter, you can warm up by the fireplace with breakfast and a newspaper, and as soon as the sun comes out, you can just as easily head out to the courtyard garden in the back for a club sandwich.

The street itself also tells a story. Wilhelminastraat used to be called Ginnekense Steenweg, the route along which the horse-drawn tram once ran from Ginneken to the city center. Now it’s a lively shopping street with distinctive buildings, great shops, and Wilhelminapark just around the corner. And if you walk south from the city center, you’ll naturally pass by our living room.
