I want to like this place so desperately, as I want to find a good and relaxed coffee place in…read moreAalst, but it is just not working. First off, the coffee is good. Very good. No complaints there. The cake is fine as well. But this place is just too small. The interior looks like the living room of a family with way too many kids, and on popular hours the place is always full. Which is probably good for business, but it doesn't invite you to spend a longer time here with a newspaper and a good book - which is what I want of a coffee bar. You can't concentrate and due to the small size of the bar you're always anxious to make space for newcomers. Want to grab a quick cup of good coffee: this is the perfect place. Spot a free place on terrace on a nice day to sit outside: also perfect. But to relax and read a book I would absolutely avoid this place.

It's one of the best places in town to enjoy a coffee with a nice piece of cake, or to enjoy breakfast, brunch or lunch. The best is their brunch formula on Saturday mornings, which is €18 for a delicious all you can eat buffet with a weekly changing selection of breads, salads, antipasti, quiche, etcetera. (Make sure to reserve in advance.) They use mostly organic products that are sourced from local producers (short chain concept), which is another plus. Other tips include the nice fruit and herb sodas they sell here, and the special local Alosta beer.
