Guitars and Beans

Very nice combination of a guitar shop and a coffee place. Generally, there is live music every Sunday. So far I have enjoyed my visit every time and also great coffee.

Great coffee, great guitars and even greater vibe of the store. Must visit

A great and charming place in Leiden to gather, to have a drink and relax. Friendly staff!

Went there for a coffee. Very chill and cozy atmosphere and a great concept since you can choose to play from a good selection of guitars. It’s also a small store with a few small things music related, like guitar picks

The place for a great cup of coffee ;) but even more if you love and need a new guitar. A wide variety of guitars are available in the shop. Ready to be tested by you. The owner is around to answer all your questions.

This cafe is a rare gem in Leiden where slow pace is embraced and the owner will not bark at you for getting work done with laptop. Everything I tried has always been tasty (coffees and muffins) and there is always great music playing.

What a nice store! Get a coffee while you think about the guitar you will buy. Mostly acoustic guitars, all well set-up. Nice guy as well. Located in the centre of the old city of Leiden.

Such a cool place. Joan Baez tracks playing in the background, a beautiful view over the canal, great coffee and a good collection of high quality, inexpensive guitars and amps. A great place to relax and enjoy a coffee and embrace your in retro-self.

The best coffee bar in town. Nice people working here, the place is wonderful. Especially on Saturday when the market is open. The sphere here is always lovely and combination of guitars and coffee is very original.

Cool cafe with guitars on the walls, and for sale. Great music in the background. Only stopped in for a quick Americano, which was decent.

Excellent selection of guitars and help to buy one. Also, great coffee!

Really cool environment, with friendly staff. No issues with trying any of the gear, and the cofee was good too. I will definitely be returning for both the instruments, and cafe

So fun

Lovely coffee and the guitarcorner in the back creates a really nice environment to try guitars. There is a nice quiet room in the back where you can try out guitars

Great place, and very friendly staff. Best coffee in town and great muffins. Please bring back Milka muffins, they are the best!

real nice owner...i''m 70 yrs old and have had to deal with many, many types of sleazy/untrustworthy music salesmen...this guy is, by far, not them...nice assortment of musical instruments, mostly(duh) guitars...reasonably priced, decent instruments...kind of like MusicAll In, but much closer if you live in Leiden and don''t own a car...anyways, this guy IS nicer than some of the people that work there...he does sell coffee, too...and i agree that it''s good coffee...he also does work on instruments...and i''m very, very glad he survived the pandemic, so far...
support your local merchants, if you will. It will help Leiden stay as wonderful as it is...and, for the record, i didn''t know this person before meeting him at his shop...this review is totally unmotivated by any such dynamic...one more thing, in case you''re sort of new at buying an instrument...there are a number of ''name brands/beroemd merks'' that inexperienced buyers might be looking for...save those for later, if at all...
as a beginner, a good playing(strings should not be high off the fretboard), nice sounding(very individual/subjective) guitar that feels right/comfortable in the hand you use for fretting(on the neck of the guitar) is what you want...you have time, after purchase, to bring it home and play it for a while to make sure it''s what you wanted...but sit around the store(reeeeal comfortable atmosphere(goed sfeer) and try out guitars until you find one you''re pretty sure about...take your time...i''ve spent hours(five) going through guitars before i chose mine, many years ago...
music is medicine/therapeutic. and science has proven that it rewires the brain in such a way that improves mental ability...look it up on google if you think i''m incorrect. i hope you get many, many years of pleasure from playing whatever instrument you choose...

It's inspirational to drink coffee whilst looking at instruments! We bought a little instrument for our kids and started introducing jamming with them at home!

Had a super tasty Americano and blueberry muffin! Great atmosphere!

Good thing we have a guitar place in town again. Always got great advice here. Nuce folks, good coffee too!

Brilliant, great concept, great coffee and backing music, lots of guitars, friendly welcome oh and l got a harmonica Bonus 👍
