I learned this about most European restaurants the hard way after attempting to dine here two nights in a row on a very, VERY rumbly stomach. And I was desperate to have my first waffle in Belgium. So, I finally got to try this place out the morning I left and it was a nice last sit-down meal to remember the city by. I got the Wafel Désiré de Lille--a fresh, toasty, warm light waffle topped with coffee ice cream, fresh whipped cream with hazelnuts, all topped with powdered sugar--the perfect basic delicacies you could ever ask for on a waffle. This was my breakfast but it was the best meal I had in days and I was so satisfied at the end. The perfectly warm temperature of the waffle and its toastiness is very memorable, and honestly the best waffle I've ever had--and I'm not even exaggerating, after spending 6 days in Belgium, snacking on waffles on the go. It was around €8-9, which is not bad, and you do get great quality. Service was average, but wasn't bad. The waiter was no-frills but helpful with recommendations in the area during those nights where I missed the cut-off.

So far on my trip, I've had the chance to try waffles in Netherlands, but I really wanted to try an actual "Belgian" waffle. This cafe sits in the busy shopping area of Antwerp, bout 10-15 minutes walking distance from central station. When walking up I noticed the restaurant was really busy with people, which is a great sign. They have outside tables along with an inside dining area. Their menu features shakes, waffles, dutch pancakes, beignets, a few savory dishes and coffee drinks. I have no idea if they had a menu in English or not, I wasn't able to find one. My bad experience here started with service pretty much, the waitress here kind of rolled her eyes at me once she realized I didn't know any language except English (I'm sure my spanish was useless as well). After that encounter it was all downhill. I ordered their "Wafel desire de lille" thinking maybe this was their speciality waffle dish, cost about 8 euros and some change. The desire de lille was a liege waffle topped with ice cream, whipped cream and a dusting of nuts on top. Unfortunately I found the texture to be pretty bad, it wasn't crispy on top like it should have been and ended up being super soggy after the ice cream melted a bit. Taste wise it was just okay, I expected the ice cream to have a bit more flavor but it ended up being very bland. Very disappointed in both the waffle and the service here. My waitress made me feel like a total burden for some reason, even though she didn't really do much other than take my order which was just me pointing to an item on the menu. Someone else ended up bringing me my coffee and waffle. I understand the language barrier stuff, but I don't feel like that I should be treated like that. Anyways, the waffle wasn't good and service kinda sucked, not really a good time here. They also didn't have WiFi, the final nail in their 2 star review.

I first became familiar with Kleinblatt's when I ordered their bread and pastries from a Antwerp…read morebased online kosher foods retailer, Kosher4U. We fell in love with their challah, rye, bagels, and their pareve pastries (no milk, butter or cream) My husband (a party lover) said that they were the best pareve pastries that he ever had. We were visiting Antwerp and Kleinblatt's was our first stop when we got off the train. It was Friday morning and the bakery was fairly busy before Shabbos. Although there were lots of delicious breads from which to choose, my husband was here for the pastries. He ordered three and ate them all in the rain before we went sightseeing in the rest of the city. He devoured all of them in one sitting. Even if you don't keep kosher, it is worth visiting Kleinblatt's. There are lots of items from which to choose, all of which are tasty.

My friends and I came here one afternoon for coffee and dessert after reading all the good reviews…read moreonline. We walked in to a completely empty place, with just the owners sitting at a table eating food. No greeting whatsoever, we decided to seat ourselves. We sat down and waited for the menus while the owners continued eating their food and talking quietly to each other while staring at us. After about five minutes it was clear they were not going to to serve us, so we left and they didn't even acknowledge us leaving at all. They didn't even say hello, offer us menus, or tell us they will be with us soon. I'm guessing because we were a mixed ethnicity group. This is not the first time I've experienced this kind of anti-immigrant behavior from Antwerp businesses. It's not even cozy in there, but rather very dark, old, and stale. Do yourself a favor and go to Popoff around the corner instead.
