Very bad, service wise and coffee wise. Coffee tasted rather bitter than creamy and the staff act…read morelike it's their first day in the business. You maybe wanna be/act special, but I would rather have good coffee(starbucks for example) than act like a snob and go here to pretend that I am a hipster and have good coffee... . Anyway if u still wanna go, ask for milky coffee because it will camouflage the bad taste of the coffee... . Short note: paid for two coffees, in the first one I asked for hazelnut syrup and they putted so much in it that I wanted a second one. Of course they remade with another payment...

We stopped here while on our honeymoon after a bartender in Delft, NL recommended this place to us,…read moreand it definitely was a local, community bar - not built for tourists. This felt like a place we would be regulars at if we didn't live an ocean away, and the vibes were incredibly chill and laid back. The bartenders were so incredibly friendly and kind, and made fantastic recommendations for different beers to try. Their tap list was extensive and for each beer; they had the corresponding glass. I'm so glad that a bartender we had a night previous in a different city/country recommended this place, because it was a real highlight while we were in Gent!

The sandwiches were very good (watch out for the crunch though, don't break your teeth!!) and the street very nice and quiet. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Gent!

I was staying nearby and couldn't wait to try it out, so how did it go... AMAZING! I was 3 days in Gent, I had brunch here twice! Says a lot, man, if I was a local I'd be regularly found hanging out here. Lovely seating out front though even in side, they've made great use the space and got a quirky mezzanine space. As a cafe, it's also a store where you can purchase some of the yummiest organic produce plus what appeared to be locally sourced produce. The back of the store, has dispensers with nuts, grains so you can buy by the weight which is so convenient! First day, I had the avocado and goats cheese sandwich and it was so delicious, I savoured every bite. On my second visit, I had the fruit granola; wish I could have brought some home with me but still had travelling to do. If I'm ever back in town, will be the first place I go to!

I'm a little skeptical of all of those places along the river because I get tourist trip vibes BUT…read morethis place, much to my surprise, had pretty good reviews for their waffles and seemed like a good bet to satisfy our waffle craving after dinner during our trip. It is super cozy at night with the blankets, heat lamps, and literally fires they have going on their patio. The light is dim and sets the mood. We tried to order the mulled wine but the server apologized that it was a winter beverage and they have yet to remove it from the cart. Instead, he recommended their hot chocolate with rum and you already know we weren't going to turn that down. We also ordered the waffle that inspired our visit in the place. They have plenty of topping options including ice cream, whipped cream, fruit, and other dessert-like things. I was put on the spot and blurted out caramel and ice cream. Maybe caramel ice cream. Maybe caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. I can't be sure. The hot chocolate was piping hot and warmed our soul. The waffle was beautiful and a work of art. They kindly wrote "Ghent" in chocolate sauce on the plate which was such a nice touch. There was a heaping scoop of ice cream and caramel sauce. The waffle was, and I may be full of shit here, but "Brussels" style, but I'm pretty sure I remember reading that. It was square. The outside was SO CRISP and the inside was still warm. It was just what we needed. It was also reasonably priced if I remember correctly. The person i had the misfortune of sitting next to was an absolute dick which kinda put a damper on the evening but it couldn't have been better from De Zwarte Zee's standpoint.
