Loveliest coffee shop-plant store in the Brussels city center. Of course I was so attracted to it…read morefrom the very first vision of the facade, the cute metallic tables and the promise of a mini jungle with smell of coffee inside. I entered and was a mini paradise for me. Very luscious greenery (now flowers, just plants), clean tables, and happy people chatting and having coffee (no laptops open yay!). I saw at the communal table taking selfies with the plants and just admiring everything, even the paintings on the walls (fantasizing that my own art is cuter and could be exposed there). I enjoy my own company a lot, but having more people around is always a reason to celebrate for me, and in this case came with Spanish accent. I asked the 2 girls that were looking for a table if they wanted to sit there with me. They happened to be from Murcia, Spain, visiting a guy one of them had met during Erasmus studies...20 years ago! Who will think coffee and plants unite people. Well, we spent the day together visiting the many buildings and cafes in Brussels. Call it serendipity!

If you're new to Brussels and are looking for a great if not THE best florist in town, you can't go…read morewrong with Catleya. I have been going there for 15 or so years since living in the neighborhood and it is by far the best florist shop I know of...anywhere. The decor is great, the staff is very helpful and my favorite thing is that as a guy you can go in knowing you're going to get an amazing bouquet regardless of the price. Just tell them your budget, color preference and they do the rest for you. An absolute must if you care about giving someone an amazing bouquet of flowers.

2.5 stars The Little…read moreGreen Shop is one of those cute, healthy brunch places. Their all-vegetarian brunch is served buffet style. Nothing was disgusting, but nothing was particularly good either. My major complaint is the hygiene. The buffet is set up on tables where you have to reach over some dishes to get to others. This means people's clothes and hair were dangling over the communal dishes. And there were some people sneezing, which obviously could infect everyone. If you do want to go, I would highly recommending going at the very start of brunch and making sure you're the first in line. On top of that, there were three dogs that appeared to live in the restaurant. I love dogs, and they were cute, but they sat in the customers' chairs and walked across the tables. This is totally unacceptable for a food service establishment. I won't be back, except maybe to buy some plants.

This is how I imagined my living room would look like, my own, grown up, living room…read more There are plants everywhere. They smell good. I had the Virginia Dream tea. It smelled and tasted good. I even got leftover cake from the afternoon brunch on the cheap, as in like, for free. Tchaikovsky was playing on the radio and the dogs were running around. Oh right, THERE ARE TWO SHIBA INUS (well I think they're shiba inus.) They're adorable. Alas, my living room is not my own, it isn't private and I'm probably not a grown up yet. But I can find comfort in knowing that TLGS is a quick 10 minute bus ride away. And that I can always sit on that couch, open up a book with one hand, hold a cuppa tea with the other and pretend I'm right at home. Which I totally am.
