Cafés. Tearooms. Bakeries.

All Bakeries Cafés Tea Rooms Breakfast Brunch Cafés outside Brussels

Pastelaria Garcia

Had enough of Croissants and Pains au Chocolats? Why not try some Portugese treats (i.e. heavenly Pasteis de Nata) at Pastelaria Garcia?

The Tastes of July

There is a lot to see and do in Brussels in the summertime. Our recap of highlights in July features fries with and without moules, terraces and a palace.

Parlor Coffee

The parlor café looks tiny from the outside. You might even consider it a bakery as the shop window is full of goodies. But they do know how to make coffee.

Peck 47

Rue du Marché aux Poulets is not one of my favourite corners in Brussels: Close to Grand Place there are a lot of tourists. Peck 47 is a welcome oasis.

Leopold Café Press

Fresh pastries, great coffee and a stylish interior make Leopold Café Press one of the best breakfast cafés in Brussels. Beware of the angry smurf!

Green Kitchen

Even if you are not in the mood for culture, it is worth looking into Brussels' Belvue Museum - if only for a light lunch in the garden of the Green Kitchen

Maison Renardy

In the middle of Matongé, you will find Maison Renardy, a very chic tea-room, where their homemade pastries and coffee are being served on a silver tray.

Au Pays Des Merveilles

Bagels and Brunch sounded like a great combination, so we decided to have a weekend breakfast at Au Pays Des Merveilles. It's a nice, quite Belgian place.

Sucré Salé

There's many options for food & drinks around Place Fernand Coq: Coffee and Cocktails at De Haus, Burgers at L'Amour Fou - or Breakfast here at Sucré Salé.

Charli Bakery

We went to Charli to track down the best croissants in town. We immediately fell in love with this bakery (and all the sweet treats) in the St. Catherine area.

La Mercerie

We all have read a thousand times that green tea is good for you. A good cup of coffee can also make your day. So have your cuppa in style at La Mercerie.

OR Coffee Roasters

What was missing on Place Jourdan for a long time was a place where you could have a good cup of coffee. This changed with the arrival of OR Coffee Roasters

Brother & Sister Cafe

If you ever find yourself in Uccle, make sure to stop by at the cute little Brother and Sister cafe/restaurant. If you have a sibling, bring a picture!

Workshop Café II

One of the best Cafes in Brussels, the Workshop Cafe on Av Louise, now has a little sister: The Workshop Cafe in Rue de Namur. Nice, but not quite as.

The Workshop Cafe

Among the very few comfortable and stylish cafes in Brussels, the Workshop Cafe on Avenue Louise is one of the best: It's a great place to work or meet up.

La Tricoterie

In an old factory building in St Gilles you will find La Tricoterie and its industrial chic: On Sundays, come here for a little market as well as the brunch.

Café du Sablon

The Sablon-area is known to be rather chic (and expensive). The stylish Café du Sablon, however, won't harm your budget. Enjoy a nice coffee break!

Epaulé Jeté

Finally another alternative to Café Belga - now there is a (new) venue on lovely Place Flagey: Épaulé Jéte. They also do a Brunch Buffet on the weekends.

Aksum Coffee House

Do you need that daily caffein fix? Or are you just looking for an out of the ordinary café in the town centre? Well then check out the Aksum Coffee House.

JAT Café

Shopping at Porte de Namur can make you quite tired - as can Museum hopping around the Palce Royale. Fortunately, there is a great place to rest: JAT Café.

Les Pénates

On Place Flagey, most people have their standard meeting place: Café Belga. It's well-known, and deservedly so - but there are others, too, like Les Penates.

Au Soleil

A cute little bar on the corner auf Rue du Marché au Charbon. If the weather is fine you should sit outside. Inside it has a nice rustic flair to it.

Café de la Presse

Great armchairs, big windows to look out onto the street and snacks if you want to stay a bit longer make Cafe de la Presse a nice place not just for coffee.

Comptoir Florian

Make sure to bring a good book, turn off your mobile phone - and enjoy the huge variation of tea that is on offer at the Tea Room of Comptoir Florian.

Coffee Company

If you are looking for cosy couches and coffee along the lines of Marshmallow-Moccacino or White-Chocolate-Coffee Frappé the Coffee Company is the spot.

Rouge Cloître

The Rouge Cloître is perfect for a little outing - especially on the weekends. Walk around the ponds, enjoy the fresh air - and then go for a coffee here.

ViaVia & Micro Marché

They call it a Travellers Café - signaling that you will find an international crowd here. At ViaVia Brussels you will also find the quaint Micro Marché.

Café Brant in Strasbourg

As many people living in Brussels also get to go to Strasbourg: here is a recommendation for a coffee break. Try Cafe Brant on Place Université.

L'Orangerie

Parc Egmont is a hidden gem in the city centre. Once you are inside, you cannot miss the Orangerie, where you will find tea, coffee and even brunch.

L'Atelier en Ville

It's a Café, it's a interior design shop, it's a trendy clothing store. It's hard to put a label on L'Atelier en Ville, which is what makes this place great.

Village du pain

We noticed the little cafe Village du pain on Place Brugmann passing by on the bus on our way to Uccle and thought the wooden outside very appealing ...

Allemeersch

How do know at a glance if a bakery is good, really good? It's easy: When people are queueing up every Sunday, although there's a whole market right outside.

Les gens que j'aime

In the town centre it can be a bit of a challenge finding a nice café or bar. Head down Rue du Midi to Les gens que j'aime to enjoy your coffee break.

Patisserie Renard

Good Cakes can be quite expensive in Brussels. At Patisserie Renard that's fortunately not the case - their tarts are delicious and affordable. We like!

Eclairs at PAUL

Life in Brussels is hard... if you are trying to keep your figure! Sweet treats are beckoning from every corner. Eclairs at PAUL are especially tempting.

Café Maison du Peuple

The Café Maison du Peuple did seem like an appealing place - it looked friendly, warm, trendy. It all started to go wrong when we ordered at the bar.

Café Belga

Always open, always buzzing - Café Belga has been a popular hotspot for years. It's still worth going for a coffee in the morning or a cocktail in the sun.
