I've never had any cacao that was such a delight on my tongue. The place is small but well put together. They have a big table in the back of the cafe, and seating outside. There are fuzzy red blankets and pillows if you would like. The service is pleasant. They do speak English if you need it. My husband had a double espresso that knocked his socks off. He also had a banana bread that was delish. I had no expectations of gluten-free food, and only wanted cacao. Honestly, I didn't look. . They also have beer and cocktails, including local gin. I saw a sign for breakfast. They have long opening hours. That's super convenient. It's pretty popular, so expect to wait. Definitely expect to be delighted. We still can't locate those knocked-off socks

OBSESSED WITH THIS PLACE. I was in Leuven for a couple months studying abroad, and this place…read morereally took all my money!! I always got lattes or iced coffee with coconut milk - amazing. The drinks and small bites were great. They're also one of the few places open on Sunday, so this was def one of my top study spots. I loved the setting, the staff, and the trendy customers! And the interior decor is lovely! Every time I think back on my amazing time in Leuven, Anna pops up first in my mind!

The staff are really helpful and kind, for our anniversary the first year I was hear I bought some presents for my girlfriend and asked if I could stash them in the cafe a couple of days earlier.

This cafe just of the main square (Grote Markt) is excellent when it comes to coffee. The owner is…read morereally passionate about good coffee and while it is a real uphill battle in the Netherlands he and his staff serve some pretty good coffee. It does perhaps not match the best in the Nordics, UK and the US but they are doing a fine job serving coffee. They change the roast at regular intervals so even when coming here pretty frequently I do not tire. Very friendly service and they are happy to chat about coffee and other things so I really like the place. I have actually never sampled any of the food or other drinks but a few colleagues have sampled some of the fresh juices offered and were very pleased. My main reason to go is however the coffee. If I could wish for any improvements it would be longer opening hours as I often struggle to get here before they close (and have already been working for a while when they open). Thursdays are the exception when they are open late. Would also be great if they added a brew bar but from what I understand the interest is limited.

The chai latte is heaven and huge. The staff is lovely and…read morewhat ads to the atmosphere they speak dutch, english and spanish. I love it! They have a nice terrace and because it's a bit out of the way, there is not a lot of traffic bothering you.
