Broodje Mokka
Leiden, Netherlands
The read// why locals go
Broodje Mokka is a tiny sandwich counter on the Rapenburg, a minute from the Leiden university buildings. It makes broodjes — Dutch filled rolls — and makes them better than anywhere else nearby: the kroket roll and the smoked herring roll are what the queue is for. Lunch costs about €8, cash is preferred, and the queue is a fact of life rather than a sign of a bad day. Students and staff end up sharing the few seats, which is roughly the atmosphere the place deserves. Nothing here is elaborate; the whole operation is one good idea executed for years without drift.
