Or at the very least, the best I've found in Leiden. The building you see in the background is part of the Hortus Botanicus, an enormous greenhouse full of trees and plants you wouldn't necessarily find here in the Netherlands. Or in one place in many other locations on the planet. It's like stepping into the greenhouses in the film "Silent Running."
Just outside there is an outdoor cafe. With umbrellas for when it's sunny, and space heaters for when it's cold. It's surrounded by lush vegetation, with almost zero traffic noise. Interesting people both young and old go there, and are open to conversation, but almost more important, open to leaving you the fuck alone if you're sitting there reading or writing in your journal. They understand this. The cafe serves Westmalle and a drinkable tequila. Oh. And they have WiFi.
