My boyfriend and I tried this cute spot in downtown Chambersburg and it did not disappoint. They have picturesque waffles, crepes, smoothies and more. The employees were very kind and I loved that they had a lot of latte flavors like a true coffee spot. I had the breakfast crepe which I found to be pretty good. It did lack salt and pepper so I added that to it. My boyfriend thought the Brussels crepe was good all around. My two complaints would be that I found the crepes to be too thick and a bit chewy. Lastly, I found the price to be hefty for crepes. Even so, this is expected for a unique local business. They also prepared our food fresh which is always great. All in all, I would return!
It genuinely hurts my heart to have to say that this was genuinely the worst espresso I have drank. 1. It was served in a paper cup with a lid when I ordered it FOR HERE (they did have glass espresso cups behind bar area). 2. Good thing I took the lid off..ZERO crema. 3. It was very over extracted, and the beans had to be old or ground wrong..so bitter, very thick mouth feeling, grounds on the bottom of the cup when I took a sip, it was just bad. We threw both shots away after only taking a sip. Also threw out the light roast coffee. And there was a Nutella almond milk iced latte we got too..they only have one size and it's huge..like why so huge? It was not actually Nutella, it was a syrup. I also think the Fuck Putin sign is a bit distasteful when children also go there. I mean I agree with you...but you're a business. The inside didn't really have a comfortable feel..loud and very echoey. No gender neutral bathrooms, but seemed to be LGBT friendly as far as I could tell. The self order option and the pay it forward area I loved. The mother's day cupcake and the macaron was good..I'd give them a try for sure. They have crepes and other food items as well. The food seems to have all the good reviews about this place which I didn't take notice to until after the fact. I review..i should know better! Moral of the story the food seems to be good..but the coffee is not! For more in depth reviews check it out. https://peripateticcoffeeco.com
Love this place! The crepes and the waffles are both amazing. I also absolutely love their coffee, it's so good. The cafe itself is spacious with a lot of seating, I love the long wooden booth bench they have along the wall, super nice and cute. Also the service is great, they're fast and always super nice! 10/10 recommend!
Family-owned business run by some incredibly genuine and honest folks who have a bold sense of humor and aren't afraid to take risks. While this isn't the only place to get a nice cup of joe and find table space in Chambersburg, it is the only one that has a specific theme and boasts distinctive decorations: there is a much stronger sense of place here than the local competitors, either independent ones or those of a corporate/chain nature. It also has a couch, which is a plus for any coffee shop. While I usually just get a simple black or iced coffee while I'm in town, the owners often have creative and seasonal specials on offer for anyone who wants to try something more flavorful and unique. Strongly suggest dropping by here at a time close to a holiday: the staff get incredibly creative with decorations. Sometimes this is a quiet place to sit down and read the news on your laptop, and sometimes there is a series of pop music videos playing on the TVs above the front door: it depends. There is also an arcade game near the back (Pac-Man, I think, but my memory might fail me on this one) if you need something to entertain yourself here. There are only a few minor downsides: One is that this place can get astonishingly packed for a local, small-town coffee shop when there is any kind of local event going on nearby. This is, of course, wonderful for business at this coffee shop, but can be ever so slightly inconvenient to an individual customer. Also, the hours are unfortunately limited on some days, but that's understandable: the staff at this place need a break for all the wonderful hard work they do.
2 Stars = "Meh. I've experienced better." Per Yelp I did NOT order a crepe - I repeat, I did NOT order a crepe. I may or may not be back to try it, but in reading the reviews, I guess the crepes here are amazing. I missed out. I came here for the hot chocolate. The Hot Chocolate I kept reading about. The Hot Chocolate that won for the best hot cocoa in downtown Chambersburg. Well, when I ordered the "Hot Chooclate" what I got was Hot Milk. It wasn't even hot actually, it was lukewarm. A lukewarm cup of milk. No need for cup warmers. I'm assuming there wasn't any other competition during that hot cocoa contest and that's how the hot cocoa here won... I looked at my pale liquid and wondered, "Where's the Chocolate?!" My friend finished his "hot chocolate" before me and we found where the chocolate was hiding. At the bottom of the cup, clumped together, unmelted. I decided to pour my remaining milk in his cup and I found my chocolate! Even more thicker and clumped at the bottom of my cup. I shared my findings with the server who apologized and gave us new cups of hot chocolate. There was a MINOR difference. It was no longer Lukewarm Milk, but rather Warmed Milk with a hint of Cocoa. Long story short - IF you are a chocoholic and enjoy the sweet nectar of the cacao bean - DO NOT ORDER THE HOT CHOCOLATE HERE. Save yourself the money and disappointment. I paid a total of $8 and change for my lukewarm milk with clumped chocolate at the bottom. Definitely overpriced. The "hot chocolate" was not worth it. Personally, I enjoy hot chocolate to be almost like melted chocolate with the cream (milk) assisting with the silky texture. I like more chocolate than milk. I want to taste chocolate when I sip into a cup of hot cocoa. Mexican Hot chocolate is my favorite. If you don't know about it - you're missing out. The ambience is great and the workers were fantastic. Very friendly.
Love this place. The proprietor is fourth(?) generation with this cafe that actually started in Belgium. Very friendly owner and staff. They make the soft crepes that I prefer and don't overdue it with the filings. Also got a VERY strong cappuccino there. (Kept me up most of the night!)
The environment is always so cheerful and your greeted when you go in and acknowledged when you are departing. The food is so tasteful and good and comes out quickly. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The owner is so personable and makes my daughter feel extra special- the last time he gave her a heart cookie which was extremely appreciated by both her and I. Definitely check it out if you haven't been here yet and if you go well I am sure you will continue to bless this small business . This is a small business but has big heart!
Belgian waffle? Yes, please. None of that flat waffle from the waffle chain folks. This is some quality waffle goodness going on here. Weekday morning, I was the only one in the place and that gave me a good opportunity to make a decent choice. Waffle with Nutella and strawberries. I asked him to hold the powdered sugar and the whipped cream as I was looking for "more of a breakfast and less of a dessert." What came to me a few minutes later was still sweet but not terribly so. Perfectly toasted golden waffle and the Nutella had warmed up a bit and gone melty. Yum. The latte I had with it was very good. Rich coffee and pretty latte art on top. Well worth it here at the Brussel's Cafe. Yep, the apostrophe is in the name.
We went here for the first time yesterday. First of all, it's amazing that Chambersburg has such a specialized eatery. A Belgian cafe in south central PA? Who knew! I had a sweet crepe with Nutella & topped with whipped cream & strawberries. Very tasty! My husband had the breakfast crepe that included ham & bacon & a sunny-side-up fried egg. Tasty as well! We also both had smoothies, which were excellent. My only regret is that the menu is limited. Next time, I think we'll try the Belgian waffles, which is the other main menu item besides crepes.
Awesome place. Loved the feel of the interior and has a nice little alley with cool murals and lights for outdoor seating. Coffee was solid, crepes were delicious. The special of the week was the Alaskan, amazing and rich flavor in that savory crepe. The owner and staff were very nice and helpful. Definitely recommend.

An awesome landmark cafe in historic downtown Chambersburg on North Main Street. Located less than a block north of the square. A place people come from miles away just to visit. The cafe is kinda new to Chambersburg but was originally established over 100 years ago in Brussels Belgium. Visiting Brussel's cafe Is an unforgettable experience with amazing authentic Belgian waffles, a selection of sweet and savory delicious crepes, the richest-flavorful coffee you'll ever find, traditional and exotic teas, chef-crafted specialty salads, daily baked confections and pastries. Vegetarian and vegan options. Free wifi, they even do catering. The atmosphere here is classic Belgium, but is owned by a Belgian-American US army vet. it's unique in many ways, with classic cafe nuances and comfortable furniture, a great place that inspires the imagination and relaxes the soul. It's a venue you can come and meet up and share, and make new friends and have a latte with old friends and family. Always friendly accommodating baristas that are fun, conversational, and extremely talented at what they do. The alley is an experience in itself with art on the buildings with endless photo-ops also accompanying is tables for out door seating to dine. Even an antique Red K6 phone booth (Known as Big Red) and then back inside to play a Miss Pac-Man arcade to challenge friends for bragging rights for high score. It's a place you'll find infants to elders happily sharing space. Everyone is welcome, and will know they are welcomed. They have a self-checkout kiosk and delivery local available. The menu changes adding new items on a regular basis. Always an adventure and memorable experience at Brussel's cafe. I highly recommend everyone visit. Cheers, Derek read more

The restaurant has a clean and warm atmosphere. The coffee is fantastic. We Ordered two coffees and two crepes and the total was $21. The crepes & waffles are not huge portions, so don't expect a Waffle House sized breakfast portion. Everything was great. Only thing I would recommend is having paper menus. The digital menu & chalkboard is hard to read. The service is also a little slow. Really enjoyed this new restaurant! Certainly adds variety to Chambersburg. read more

Brussel's Cafe is fantastic. I've been here 3 times and have had a wonderful experience every time I've been in. This isn't a fast food cafe. Every crepe I have had has been delicately crafted and worth the short wait. The balance and quality of meats, cheeses, and garnish is phenomenal. The staff is friendly and the coffee is delicious as well and always pairs well with a crepe. I'm excited to come back a 4th and 5th time and see what crepes they've created for those weeks and ty a Belgian waffle at some point too! I definitely recommend that you check Brussel's cafe out as soon as you can! read more

My waffle was easily one of the best I've ever had and the Salted Caramel Latte was superb. I was only in Chambersburg for a couple of days on business, but if/when I ever return, I'm making multiple stops there to sample more of the menus. They also get a perfect "10" on the value scale. Very inexpensive for the quality of both food and drink! read more

More than a place to stop for coffee and a treat, this place offers a lovely, mellow, sophistcated yet unpretentious atmosphere perfect for hanging out with friends, meeting business partners and clients, or curling up with a book. Located in the heart of Chambersburg, it is sure to become a focal meeting point. read more

I love Brussels, great crepes and waffles that are scratch made with fresh local ingredients. The owner is very friendly and welcoming. I know they can they very busy on Saturdays during the farmers market and the wait can be long but the food is worth it! When I visited on Thursdays and Friday's the service has been quick! read more

Instagram worthy food -- the crêpes are delicious. I almost could not finish mine it was so big, almost. The staff is extremely pleasant, they went out of their way to make sure I had a good experience. I heard a lot about this place and have wanted to try it for a while, it did not disappoint. I'll probably be back very soon. read more
