The service is excellent and the light fare is terrific as is the coffee. The quiche is particularly good. There are also some tempting baked goods available though I did not partake. The prices are quite reasonable as you can get a coffee and a light bite for around €10. If you are around Menepoort, this is a great option for a respite.

Located right outside the Menin Gate, Coffee Break is a small 2-story cafe that not only serves…read morecoffee, but small plates, pastries, and even ice cream. I stopped in here before going to watch the memorial ceremony at the gate for a cup of coffee. It wasn't bitter at all and not too watery either. The brand of coffee they serve is called Cafe Liegeois, and I thoroughly enjoyed my cup. They have a couple outside seating, but I recommend sitting comfortably in their little terrace upstairs. The inside overall is nicely decorated, and is a great place to actually take a ''coffee break'' ;)

I was given a recommendation to go to this place for pastries, and I was satisfied with it! They…read morehave very decorative pastries that made my mouth water. I got the class Cat Claw (?) pastry that was good. A lot of locals come here so it's definitely a spot to check out for a pastry or dessert!

The ice cream was homemade and out of this world according to my daughter. And she is picky. Looks like a great dinner spot. I would go back and try the full menu. It contained a lot of local house recipes that sounded interesting.

One of the really annoying things about cafes with table service is that you don't get a chance to…read morelook inside. However, I guess that is only for my curioisty and that much of what happens in cafes is on the outside. Anyway, this cafe was okay, nothing special, but okay. The coffee was nice, the staff okay, and the prices pretty expensive. It was an okay place, but not some place that I would rush back to.

Great, quiet, place to relax a few blocks off the main square. Very reasonable prices. When we were…read morethere, the local clientele was reserved (trending a bit older), drinking coffee and reading. However the very friendly staff behind the bar happily educated us about the local beers they proudly serve. They have a matching glass for every beer.
