Our tower of tea treats were all displayed perfectly and described in detail. I don't know about tea - tea is gross, but they make one hell of cup of coffee. A five star high tea in a comfortable and welcoming environment. We hope to return with our family.

After lunch, we were craving something sweet, so we came here to try their hot chocolate. We…read moreordered three different flavors. The concept is very interesting, they serve the chocolate separately, and you add it to a cup of hot milk and stir it yourself. The first floor is a chocolate shop where you can browse and purchase a variety of chocolates, while the café is upstairs on the second floor. They also have outdoor seating if you prefer to enjoy your drink outside. The ambience is warm, cozy, and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a chocolate break. The service was a bit slow, but it was definitely worth the wait. Overall, the Costa Rica hot chocolate was our favorite. It was slightly sweet with a light creamy taste. The Hazelnut Praline was much too sweet for our liking, and the Ecuador wasn't as smooth as the Costa Rica. We enjoyed the Costa Rica chocolate so much that we ended up taking home four bags. It was the perfect souvenir and a delicious reminder of our visit. :)

From what I can remember this was probably the place that sat at the top of the list, however it…read morewasn't so much a coffee shop but rather a tea house. However, I wasn't all that keen on having just tea I preferred a coffee, so that is what I ended up grabbing, and not surprisingly it was, like most (though not all), coffee shops, really good. They even had an outdoor area out the back, though the main part of the cafe was the inside, and they also did a variety of dishes. However, they also were more than happen for me to simply come in and have a coffee out the back. Okay, they were a little slow, but since there were quite a few people here (particularly since this place is pretty popular, and highly rated).

An elegant tearoom, Cafe Max is opposite the cathedral. Part of the lower floor is given over to a…read moresecond business selling coffees, teas, china, chocolates and other treats. The remainder is given over to two main rooms for the cafe. Cafe Max is buzzing with traditionally clad waiters who whisk past in a flurry of aprons and silver jugs. The menu is extensive, offering mostly afternoon treats such as beignets, waffles, pancakes and icecream sundaes. Each comes in an array of permutations: with avocaat, strawberries, fruit salad, cream, chocolate sauce and jam (well, the pancakes come with jam). In addition there are lots of fruit and flavoured teas, coffees and other drinks. Service is quick and efficient, and afternoon tea here is a fine treat. Now that the exchange rate against the Euro has worsened, it's not a cheap experience, but still highly worthwhile. You may need to tackle a fair few cobbled street afterwards to work off the calories.

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'' ;)

It is like a history of coffee shop and cultural coffee shop rolled into one. First they offer, French press, syphon, drip, Italian, Espresso and other variation of coffees from around the world. Second, they have a display of coffee pots and tools on their wall as if a museum exhibition. Last, they have a coffee shop to buy your beans, pots, and cups among other things. Tasty coffee, large interior, fast and friendly service in an inviting atmosphere is always fun.

And yes, they have a great selection of sandwiches and patisserie too.
