Lucky this place was right around the corner from our stay in Brussels, otherwise I would've missed this little gem!
Tiny space, but filled with an abundance of goodies baked fresh daily! They're open early in the morning (7am) while the rest of the city is still somewhat asleep. Employees are super nice despite some limited English speaking barriers (this is when I wish I remembered some HS french).
Everything we tried was so good! Croissants are fresh, big and flakey (plain, almond, and Choco varieties)! The mini loaf of bread we got was sliced by request and filled with lots of walnuts and hazelnuts. I've also learned what a "bostock" was --buttery brioche+almond cream baked atop it--and its amazing!!
Now back in the states, I'm missing this place already! Wishing Gingko all the best and hope many others can enjoy their lovely baked goods and cakes! read more
