Prices are on the high side but not ridiculous. We had a juice and a bottled tea after our visit to the Horta Museum as it was a bit late in the day for coffee. We wanted a snack as well but the kitchen closes down in the evening, so come for brunch instead. The staff was really nice. It was a pleasant way to pass an hour in the evening; sad we missed the food here.

Considering everything on the menu was moderately priced why jack up the cost of water and sparkling to 2.50 for half bottles. Sorry for the rant. I would come back because it is good. I just won't order the waters anymore

I had a latte, bacon pancakes, and breakfast potatoes. All of it was excellent. The pancakes were a bit over-syruped for my taste but still very good. Bathrooms were very clean. Payment was easy. I'd return and I recommend Woodpecker.

For food we got the avocado toast which was extremely well made loaded with hummus and greens and topped with sriracha. So good! We also got the bubble waffle with chocolate syrup. The waffle was extremely light. Obviously a must try !! Great modern ambiance and service.

Bubble waffles are a street food popular in Hong Kong, so I was very surprised to see an entire…read morecafe dedicated to making waffles this way here in Antwerp. I wasn't expecting much other than the aesthetic and unique fusion aspect, but it actually blew and exceeded my expectations. The cafe has an amazingly cozy atmosphere with spacious tables, and the menu has so many fantastic options I wish I could come back everyday to retry it. We decided to go for one savory and one sweet option (nordic waffle and biscoff), and both were out of the world. The bubble waffles were soft and pillowy, going well with the toppings we chose. The nordic waffles came with a generous portion of salmon (so fresh and tasty), avocados, and creme sauce. It tasted so healthy and refreshing. The biscoff waffles came with a generous dose of biscuit crumbs, ice cream, chocolate sauce, powdered sugar, and whipped cream - a perfect balance on the waffle. I would recommend this place to anyone coming to Antwerp!

One of the best and healthiest breakfast I've tried in Belgium so far!…read more Beet latte Beetroot and cinnamon powder with steamed mylk Tastes delicious and very comforting. It's not too strong in any one flavor with just a hint of sweetness. Charcoal cocoa coco latte Black latte with homemade blend of activated charcoal and cocoa with coconut milk Wow! Never tried this before and pleasantly surprised. Again, just a hint of sweetness and also tastes delicious. Balanced Bowl I was so happy about the drinks that I forgot to take a picture of my food. The description of the balanced bowl is here: "A healing salad bowl with quinoa, arugula, roasted broccoli, shredded carrot and beet, homemade hummus, homemade kimchi (=fermented cabbage), micro greens and roasted turmeric cashews, with lemon tahini dressing." I asked for the dressing on the side and this is quite honestly the best healthy breakfast I've had in recent memory. None of the ingredients overpowered the flavor of each other and it just tastes so wholesome, healthy and delicious. This bowl was made to perfection! Service is efficiently and you order first from the QR code and they send food over to you. Very friendly staff and semi romantic intimate interior. It's too bad I'm only staying in Gent for one day otherwise I'd come back to try other options.

My husband literally ran when he saw the Hawaiian Poke bowl sign. You can't take a Hawaiian from…read moreHawaii for more than 24 hours before he starts looking for connections to Hawaii I guess lol. He asked if I wanted a poke bowl lol it's our first day in Brussels I don't want a poke bowl... haha. He decided to get some mochi ice cream after bragging to the girls working that he is from Hawaii lol. So embarrassing. But they gave him an employee discount so that was cute. My husband is Hawaiian. Not just from Hawaii. I'm pretty sure the girls working don't know the difference, but he busted out his HI drivers license and pidgin for them. And then forced them to learn "mahalo". The mochi ice cream was just ok. I tried a bit of the tropical one and the mochi part was thin and the ice cream was more of a sorbet. I didn't think the texture of the sorbet and the mochi went together well. The inside is cute. They try to make it look more tropical I guess with fake plants.... I always have a hard time with cultural appropriation vs appreciation and I feel like things here could be much worse. Anyway, if you're looking for a poke bowl (or chicken bowl) this might be your place.
