A wonderful cafe for coffee and a sweet. There's an amazing number of cakes, pastries and cupcakes. The place is filled with old world charm and character. There are two floors with the WC on the third (second floor here). We sat upstairs and the staff is gracious, attentive and speak perfect English. It's a cozy and very intimate coffee cafe for a nice afternoon treat. I ordered a doubt shot American coffee and a slice of Julie's Moelleux cake, and incredibly rich chocolate cake. It was delicious. The coffee was strong and good. Ed had a cheesecake with a red berry collisions on top. Equally delicious. This place is a calorie buster and a bit pricey but worth the splurge. read more

Pretty terrible service, coffee was mediocre, we asked for a cup of hot water which they wanted to charge €2 euros for, but a cup of cold water was free. Just a weird vibe, staff overall just we not kind or helpful. Won't go back. read more

A wonderful little cafe and bakery in the center of Ghent! We stumbled upon Julie's House thanks to others' glowing reviews here and we were so happy we did! After a few days of busy travel, the breakfast at Julie's House was exactly what we needed to relax and enjoy the morning. Although I would definitely recommend making a reservation, we were lucky enough to find a table when we stepped into the cafe. The breakfast menu ranges from the light with a croissant and jam and a nice cappuccino to a full plate of eggs, cheese, and bread. The interior is a bit cramped, but it felt more cozy to me. I loved that the breakfast bar on the 1st floor allows you to look at the entire line-up of baked goods and find something to take along with you on your way out. Overall, a wonderful cafe to spend an hour chatting with friends and enjoying a bit of breakfast! read more

This bakery and pastry shop is winning the instagram / yelp / like-a-local / trip advisor game. The are losing the actually having good baked goods and coffee game. My advice is to stop by and take your photo for Instagram with one of their super cute cupcakes and go anywhere else in the city of Ghent for breakfast or coffee. Why? Stopped in one morning in Ghent after passing this place a couple of times the day before. So far, then have been out of 2 things we have tried to orderq: cinnamon rolls (advertised on their cute, but not up to date chalkboard) and fruit crumble for the some yoghurt. It's not like it's a big menu, it so having all the things doesn't seem like it should be a big challenge. The coffee also leaves a lot to be desired. It was warm, not hot, and in what might be the smallest cup in Europe that is not an espresso cup. The service was nice and very polite, but I am unclear why it would take 22 minutes to get a croissant and yoghurt when there are only 3 tables full. read more

Oh we were happy to stumble upon Julie's on our first morning in Ghent! We were staying above a shop in Friday Market, arrived after dark, and were enchanted with the bridge the next morning and one fascinating shop after another made us hungry and thirsty for what we were sure would be excellent coffee. While we waited for our yogurt and granola, we were very happy to read about how the shop developed from Julie's childhood dreams. The ambiance can't be beat, like seeing the centuries of wallpaper layers and the impossibly tiny stairs. After we finished, meandered outside, and wondered where the castle was, we almost bumped into it. Visiting Ghent is constantly forgetting what millennia it is and Julie's is a huge part of that wonderful experience. read more

Found by accident while on holiday in Ghent. A lazy morning meant that at 11h30 we were looking for breakfast, not at all an easy task as we found out. However, a quick bit of Internet research and we are on to Julies House as the place serves breakfast until 2pm - result! OMG, this place is incredible. OK, so we went for the Big Breakfast because after all, we were there for breakfast right?: Fried egg on toast (could have been hard-boiled or scrambled, only had to ask), pancakes, scone, 'pain perdu', orange juice, a massive coffee or tea and just to prove that they had beaten us, a complimentary slice of brownie in the coffee cup's saucer...I only managed a small nibble, I physically could put no more in me! Sit inside or out, upstairs or down, even a little room at the far end where you can hog and slouch in a comfy sofa while you digest. Needless to say, we went back the next day, for a drink and a selection from the seemingly endless rows of different cheesecakes (my favourite). Had the Speculoos cheescake - if you love the biscuits you cannot miss this. read more

Julie’s House - The BIG breakfast - Bakeries Near Me - Gent, VOV

Walking around Gent you can find this cute little café full of sweets, bakeries and good coffee. It's incredible how such a tiny little shop can get so busy and have so many costumers a day. Loved by yelpers with the sticker right on the door, good coffee and really cool staff. I liked the service and the vibe of the place. I wouldn't recommend it for a studying session or to hang out with friends since there's not so many sits, but more like a 'good quality take away place'. (There is also a difference on the price to take away) This is the kind of place I would go to all the time if I could. I bought a cappuccino and what the call 'smartcookies', they were perfectly baked and not too sweet but rather with the perfect amount of sugar! I loved them:) read more

Julie's House was recommended to us by one of the people at a soap shop from where we were buying souvenirs. I had a coffee craving and my wife wanted cake. So, we walked into Julie's House. We got a capuccino, a green tea and a raspberry cheesecake. We were given a table upstairs. Julie's House is actually a very quaint little place with a lot of character. The people who work here are friendly and serve with a smile. I presume this is a popular joint cos it does tend to get very busy. One bite into the cheesecake and I realised straightaway, why Julie's House was such a busy cafe. The cake was rich, smooth, flavoursome and generous, without feeling very heavy. The coffee and the tea were pretty standard but the cake stands out! I would go there again, just for the cake. I sincerely hope they continue their levels of service and quality for a long time to come. read more

Visiting Ghent? Make sure you pop in here for some truly yummy cakes. We only got some cakes to enjoy back at our B and B however the queue to sit down did look quite long. Also I wasn't able to see what seating arrangements looked like from the front display area but assume cosy and kitch from the window and cake display. On to the cakes! They had so many lovely flavours of cupcakes (cheesecake brownie was the one we tried mmmmm) and lots of sweet pies and cheesecakes (we tried a white choco mousse with speculoos base - amazing - so so amazing that we replicated it for a dinner party back home). Looking at their menu they serve an amazing brunch Thursday's to Sunday's however we visited on a weekday so were only able to try their delicious cakes... It's a hard life! Tip - they also supply cake decorations for any homemade attempt! read more

Loving this cute place. I am waiting to take my bus back to Amsterdam and decided to chill here. They have free wifi and I'm seating upstairs by the window on comfy cushion seats. The dessert I got is a summer tart, berries on top of whip cream. The cream isn't too sweet and too greasy. It's perfect with my aromatic jasmine green tea that came in a cute little tea pot. Plus they give you a little sample. Highly recommended! read more

Lovely bakery in the lovely town of Ghent. Julies House makes the most amazing beautiful and delicious cakes and cupcakes, and the café itself is a cozy place to hang out with friends or study. Tea is served in little combined tea pots/cups which are the cutest I have ever seen. It is definitely a girly place, but I know for a fact that guys appreciate the cakes as well.. read more

Picked up some cupcakes as well as a chocolate brownie. I've had better cupcakes. The brownie was pretty good but still a little short on being fantastic. Staff were friendly and helpful explaining the different choices available. read more
