Honestly, when you are a student, you are ALWAYS on a budget. And here at Magnet.me we get that (that is why we offer paid internships and graduate jobs, so you can have some more coin).
To make your life a little easier, we’ve put together a list of the 9 most affordable lunch places in Leiden for students. You can check them out below and pick the lunch place that suits you the best.
Lunch place 1: Happy Tosti
The name is pretty self-explanatory: this is the go-to place for toasti’s and paninis. This lunch place in Leiden is quite unique because not only does Happy Tosti have unique toasti specials, they also offer a wide variety of coffee. You can therefore expect a combination of a hearty meal and hit of energy, ideal for any hard-working student.
With toasties only costing around 5 euros, the perfect place for an affordable but tasty meal. Oh and did we mention that they have swings that you can sit on while you eat? What more could you want?

Lunch place 2: De Boterham
Another good option for an affordable lunch place in Leiden is De Boterham. You have the option to enjoy a croissant or pancakes with your coffee.
