Café Restaurant Amsterdam, Watertorenplein
This place is a little more fancy and has a long reading table on which you can put your books and laptop. For those who like to have a bit of background noise when studying or working, this place is ideal. The lunch menu is great, too.

The café is light, with tall ceilings and big tables, ideal for many hours spent working or studying. The WiFi is fast and visitors are often inspiring people. There is also a huge terrace with a view on a busy Leidse square, for the moments when you need to take a break from working.
