Punda’s morning office
Made for laptops, flat whites and slow starts.
01
Hotel Wi-Fi, downstairs too
The Palace’s fast connection covers the café, answer your morning calls with arches in the background, then close the laptop and cross the pontoon bridge.
02
The window bar
Oak counter, marble bistro tables, and the best people watching seat in Punda. Mornings are quiet until the cruise crowds wander in around 10:30.
03
Open from 8am, every day
First espresso before the heat. Thursday to Sunday the bar runs until 8pm, golden hour on Breedestraat included at no extra charge.

Quick answers
Before you wander over.
Do I need to be a hotel guest?
Not at all, the café is open to the whole street, and most of the faces at the window bar are neighbors, cruise visitors and remote workers. Hotel guests just have the shorter commute.
Can I work on my laptop?
Please do. Mornings are the quiet hours, the hotel Wi-Fi reaches every table, and nobody will rush your cup. If you need a call booth, the lobby upstairs is a short flight away.
Can I take the coffee home?
Yes, the shelves carry bags of the local roast we pull at the bar. They pack flat, fly well, and make a better souvenir than a fridge magnet.
