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.

Nice green tea and the strawberries and whip cream on my waffles seemed fresh. Had touristy signs but oh well! The view is unbeatable right on the water. The food is maybe not as good as others (waffle was better than the pancake), but I would not know better because the rest are closed and my train leaves soon and it was a quick two day trip. :) Oh and the service was very quick. Bad: they did not give me more hot water for my tea (small cup not enough and I was choking on my food without tea so I did not finish and did not buy another tea when I just needed water) and they do not offer tap water - they would not without a charge. This is why the stars are 3 and not 4. Also bad was 16.5 for one waffle, one pancake, and one tea. Paying for a view is common tho.

I had the Rosario croissant sandwich and the Belgium waffle and both were absolutely delectable. The sandwich croissant was endlessly flaky and fresh and yet a simple sandwich. It packed a real punch of flavors. The Belgian waffle was crisp and fluffy all at the same time and I find myself wanting to go back and get just one more. The people serving were attentive and very nice. I walked around the area for a bit in the morning and there aren't a ton of coffee shops open in the morning. If you see this one, look no further, it is an excellent stop to get the coffee and bite!

Staff are attentive and run around with a fury to keep up with the clientele coming and going. The menu is extensive but we settled on each having a Waffle Gravensteen which comes with chocolate sauce, blueberries. vanilla ice cream and a red (red fruit coulis) topping sauce on the ice cream. We accompanied that with a warm chocolate milk drink. Both were purely amazing, although the waffle was a bit crunchy compared to others I have tried. The atmosphere is vibrant and fun, and you'll get a good dessert fix, best for an afternoon treat. It appears to primarily cater to tourists, yet they seem to keep the quality good. There's nothing better than a snack of waffles and chocolate!

I'd grabbed a scoop of stracciatella ice cream on top of a Belgian waffle, and it was absolutely delicious. The stracciatella was nice and comforting, while the Belgian waffle was the real winner; very sweet, drizzled in chocolate syrup, decadent, rich, and great texture. I surprisingly hadn't tried too many waffles during my time here in Belgium, but this was already my favorite and will stand out in my mind in comparison whenever I order one, wherever I am in the world. If not sold out, you can order from several different toppings on your waffle including strawberries, whip cream, and more.
