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'' ;)

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. For a unique experience, ask for a shot of Advocaat.
