The staff are friendly and very good at helping you choose the right kind of coffee (they're all amazing). They do offer light snacks such as cakes and ham & cheese croissants.

They're an iconic French patisserie with huge glass windows that allow customers to watch the talented pastry chefs work their magic under the massive crystal chandelier. Their team is also one of the friendliest in Brugge, happily walking you through the display case of treats. My favorite bite: the brioche bread (cramique) with either chocolate chips or raisins. It comes out of the oven piping hot and is handed to you warm. The incredible smell of baked bread wafts down the street. It's a bite that we ensure any of our visitors enjoy while here. They're also known for: - Merveilleux: meringue and whipped cream coated with shavings of chocolate, crystallized meringue, or almonds - Cramiques: brioche with chocolate chips, sugar pearls, raisins and sugar, or just raisins - Stuffed waffles: flat waffles filled with vanilla, brown sugar, or coffee mix - Other menu items: meringue twists, croissants, Yule logs, tea, and coffee We are cheering them on and thankful for the memories and sweet treats while we've been here!

For breakfast, we also enjoyed a perfectly brewed American coffee and a rich, creamy hot chocolate. We visited not only for the delicious food but also to admire the stunning chandelier that adds a touch of elegance to the atmosphere. It quickly became clear why there's always a line outside, even in chilly weather--it's worth the wait! The staff were exceptionally helpful and attentive, adding to the overall experience. I can't recommend this spot enough--be sure to stop by if you get the chance!

The menu is cleverly carved out of wood and hangs on the wall. They roast their own beans which is why this is a rare opportunity to enjoy Dark coffee without any bitterness. You don't need to put sugar in any of his coffee. I also tried a chai tea latte and he even made it iced for me, so tasty but a tad on the sweet and milky side. Don't forget to grab a snack as his Carrot cake is moist and not too sweet. The brownies are undercooked just like I like them. We know coffee well enough that we won't be trying any other cafes in Brugge. This IS the spot!!!

We ordered espresso and tea, which came with a miniature sized dessert that was very good. We were too hungry and didn't take pics of the food. Hubby ordered the Croque monsieur, which he said was very good. Kids ordered the Belgium waffle with strawberries. The waffle was nicely crispy, and still light and airy. Kids ate it all. I had the warm goat cheese and bacon salad. It was very good. Sweetness of the corn balanced out the creaminess of the cheese and the saltiness of the bacon. Desserts looked amazing, I wanted to try them all. My son decided to choose the fruit tart to share and it was delicious. Lots of fruits and with creamy center and crunchy shortbread crust.

We walked over and into a cornucopia of pastries. I had never seen a display like this before. I told them that we do nit have a reservation and wold like to have a light breakfast, after a 30 second wait they brought us to a lovely table in the back. A truly delightful setting. We ordered light as I do not enjoy 'bulking up' in the morning when I know that I will be doing a lot of walking and exploring. A pastry each and some coffee was our meal. I was a little disappointed that I didn't order more after seeing some of the breakfasts they were serving. Everything just looked so good. Our waitress was lovely and took very good care of us despite us having a very small breakfast. She was extremely appreciative of the tip we left. This place is a definite stop if when we return to Bruges and we will return to Bruges. KUDOs to the team at Carpe Diem.

I quickly chose a couple pre bagged candies and intended on buying a few chocolates as well but the tourists were still planted in front of the door, constantly changing their mind, asking for additional things, getting confused, asking more questions, wanting additional things, then getting confused again. I waited quite a bit for them and when they decided to add in more items (which they were confused about again) I finally called it and put everything back, having to edge around them again to push my way out. I'd like to see Duman add in a second associate for the back counter, ask customers to keep the doorway clear, and if the guest is unsure of what they want and there's a line, move on to the next customer and give them time to think about it. In all in, with the current shop setup I don't think I'll be back.
