In 1812 our great great great grandfather opened the first Berkelouw Books in Rotterdam, Holland. Books were expensive and scarce in the days of yore and bookshops such as his were mostly found next to or within the salons and coffee houses that graced European city streets. It was in these spaces where great ideas blossomed.
Communities formed, fuelled by delicious local food, coffee and wine, to read and swap not only books but creative, political and cultural ideas. Today Caf 1812 borrows from this romantic page of our history. Books have always been part of our story and with the opening of Caf 1812, we return to how our story began - with great books, coffee, food, wine and ideas.

Caf 1812 is located on the corner of 19 Oxford Street and Verona Street. We are surrounded by street parking, but your best bet would be to try Napier Street and Greens Road first. Alternatively we are only a few minutes' wander down from St Vincent's Hospital parking station. The closest train station to Caf 1812 is Museum Station.
