Yes, yes, yes. Everything just works at Mok from the design to the coffee to the food. My family of three went for breakfast and coffee on an August Monday morning. Although our seven-year-old was the only child present, we had a great experience. Here's why. 1) Drink: They brew quality coffee with the best filtered water (also available on tap for guests). My latte was exactly how i enjoy it- strong and creamy. They have sugar off to the side if you need it. 2) Food: A simple menu, everything is made and presented with perfection. My wife's avocado toast is "the best she's ever had." The cheese toast with the fermented onion ketchup hit the spot. 3) Vibes: It's a cool spot, but don't be intimidated. Staff are friendly. There's indoor and outdoor seating and restrooms in the basement. read more

This modern atmosphere, superb coffee, was one of my go-tos when I was in Brussels. They have a rotating menu, each was delightful. Great environment to get work done, or just conversate with a friend. Coffee was one of the best I had in Europe. This is slightly on the outskirts from the city center, but well worth the walk. read more

Nice little coffee shop with some inside seating, but mostly outside seating. Was pretty busy at 9am on a weekday but still no line to get coffee. Also serve food, usual fare of pastries, but also avocado toast and okonomoyaki (Japanese pancake!) which is pretty awesome. They also have their own line of coffee beans. Smaller bags, organized by drip vs espresso. Fair prices for all, though keep in mind this is a city coffee shop. Service was the usual. Nice but not out going, especially so if you are not French-speaking. Not rude by any means, though. Just Belgian. read more

Aesthetically pleasing interior with comfy bench seating by the window for guests stopping by for drinks and a bite. We were only here for our morning coffees and ordered cappuccinos which were smooth and refined. Wish it came in a larger size though because what was served did leave us wanting for more but this is likely the norm for cappuccino servings in Belgium which we learned from the other coffee orders during our stay. read more

Mok - Cafes Near Me - Brussels, BRU

Strangely enough, one my best meals on my trip to Belgium was a plate of tomatoes at a coffee shop. Mok is a hip, sparse coffee shop just west of Saint Catherine within view of the river. I wasn't there for coffee, though they do have appetizing options like flat whites and they carry oat milk. I needed a pre-flight snack, so I ordered their daily vegetable plate (11 euro), couer de bouef (a.k.a. beefheart) tomatoes and strawberries. When my plate arrived with just straight up tomatoes and strawberries on it, I was a little concerned, though it was pretty. However, these were the most tender and delicious tomatoes I've had in quite a long time. It ended up working really well with the juicy scattered strawberries and blueberries, all united with high quality olive oil, hits of thyme and lemon, and generously applied mystery spicy-and-salty seasoning. I usually try to stay away from tomatoes as I'm acid-sensitive (and I'm still not sure what possessed me to order this beyond a trip sorely lacking in vegetables), but I ate absolutely all of this. Of great help was a complimentary side of grilled and crusty bread to sop up the juices, oil, and spices. It wasn't too busy in the early afternoon on a weekday. Service was great and I got my food quickly. The space is modern and #aesthetic. Recommended not just for a cup but for a bite as well! read more

Gorgeous interior design, minimalist. Excelent coffee... Also one can get the 'coffee of the day", which is seasonal filter coffee and get one free refill. A big downside is the fact that the kitchen closes after 14:30. The food looks good tho, very aesthetically pleasing. read more

Mok - cafe latte and ginger beer - Cafes Near Me - Brussels, BRU

Can I give a Zero star..?!?! I walked into MOK and I was approached by the owner. I was looking to coffee beans and perhaps eat. At first I thought nice, however, after our interaction, I immediately left.. aggressive marketing, he didn't want to leave me alone to look at the coffee bean selection. The coffee beans are extremely overpriced better places to go in Brussels. Anyways if anything in this place could be good I couldn't experience it due to the owner. Lessons learned for this young owner. Your customers help make your business, please don't be aggressive in front of customers with other customers.... be nice read more

After leaving London a few years ago, I have not had flat white this good. It was just the right amount of milky smoothness and espresso strength. Thank you Mok for reminding me why I love the flat white so much. I've been to more cafes who don't offer it or do not offer it well, so this was a welcome treat. read more

This coffee shop is such a gem in this neighborhood. My boyfriend and were staying close by and just walked by. Their coffee is superb! Their food is also amazing. We both had an avocado toast, so good. The employees here are also so friendly, we had such a nice conversation with an employee too. They only take cards not cash just an FYI! read more

Mok - Cafes Near Me - Brussels, BRU

I went to Brussels for a night and I searched online for the best speciality coffee place and found Mok. Well, it was super good indeed. I had a breakfast ( oat flat white ( they use oatly brand) and soya yogurt+ granula. I was really impressed not only by their lovely interior or amazing vegan options on their menu but also their high quality coffee plus the alternative milk brand they use. I usually dont get a great milky coffee outside ireland/ Uk because i found in many européen countries they still use soya milk as an alternative ( worst for coffee) and sometimes if they are professional they use almond which i dont really like in my coffee so i was very surprised when i saw they have oat milk. One thing about oat milk; its the best alternative to milk because of its consistency and great creamy taste however it usually comes naturally sweet which is not always great, however, there is a new oat milk ( oatly) currently used in most speciality cafes in Dublin because of its Great taste ( un_sweetened and just perfect) and Mok happen to use it seriously it shows their great taste in coffee. Bravo guys read more

The coffee bros from Leuven join the list of coffees bar located in the center of Brussels, after Café Capitale, OR, Aksum and others. Yet this one is located on the Dansaert bit by the canal offering a more relaxed atmosphere than the hectic center. It seems like the normal operation plan is to hit the caffeine at MOK, then hit the brews at BBP to finally end your trip at the rebranded Izakaya (ex-Bravo) Bar for some gyozas and ramen. But, coffee-wise, cause guys, this why you're reading this review, they've got plenty of options from coffee of the day, to cappuccino and the double espresssss' With suggestions of the day, so feel free to ask for advice! The good thing here is that if you're looking to down coffee like an american, the coffee of the day is self-served on a unlimited basis :) They also have a kitchen at the back offering meal options throughout the whole day (breakfast, brunch, lunch, snack, - no din-din), nice for some healthy bites. Bad news for non-bank card holders, they don't take ca$h. Free water. read more

We stopped in here after 20+ hours of travelling to grab some breakfast and coffee. We each got a drink and some avocado toast and everything was so yummy, especially the bread!!! It was so soft and delightful, definitely hit the spot. The 2 people working were both very friendly and inviting and although the place was fairly small, we were able to find seating in the back to enjoy our toasts before heading out to explore the city. Definitely recommend stopping in for a quick bite! read more

Brussels, be ready, gentrification is coming ! La capitale n'étant pas encore très avancée au niveau du specialty coffee, on ne peut que se réjouir de l'ouverture d'un nouveau coffee shop, à l'initiative de ces torréfacteurs de Leuven qui ont décidé d'ouvrir une enseigne dans le quartier Dansaert. Il est clair qu'entre concept stores et designers, il fallait bien placer un coffee shop hipuré (hipster épuré quoi...) quelque part dans le coin. Bah oui, vu que non loin, on a vu émerger Seymour Kassel Records, Cycloatelier, La Fabrikka, et The Brussels Beer Project, c'était pas possible autrement si on voulait remplir parfaitement la gentrifi-équation selon laquelle Gentrification = coffee shop + bike shop + vinyle shop + concept store + micro-brasserie + barber shop. Il ne manque plus qu'un gros barbu, ses tatoos, et ses ciseaux pour que le théorème soit complet, mais ça ne saurait tarder... Mok, ce sont des gars qui connaissent leur métier, puisqu'ils torréfient depuis 2012 sur Leuven, y ont ouvert leur premier coffee bar avant de se diriger vers la capitale. Pas étonnant dès lors que du côté produit phare de l'endroit, la qualité de la tasse soit forcément supérieure à la moyenne bruxelloise, et du quartier en particulier, puisqu'on peut enfin échapper à la coffee mafia italienne Illy, Lavazza et compagnie, qui sévit depuis trop longtemps via les Walvis et autres Barbeton de qui vous savez... Il était temps de secouer tout ça... Le breuvage noir est assez équilibré, pas mal balancé, sans trop s'aventurer vers une complexité ou une acidité qui risquerait de choquer les papilles trop habituées à la cosa nostra précitée. Pour accompagner votre shot de caféine, quelques pâtisseries upscale qu'on ne voit pas ailleurs, comme un délicieux cinnamon roll qui ose s'éloigner de la recette classique du standard suédois via son feuilletage appuyé et sa touche de lavande, ou une jolie tarte fine aux pommes. Pas de croissant ou de pain au chocolat, mieux vaut que la Team Classique le sache avant. Pour le breakfast ou le lunch, on oscille entre le Williamsburg veggie style et la Portland superfood trend : avocado toast, hummus betteraves, chia pudding ou "quinola". La déco est (très) épurée : blanc, noir, sol et bar béton (pourtant on est pas chez l'autre), quelques plantes, et basta ! C'est assez froid, pas ultra cosy. On aime ou on aime pas. Oui ok c'est con ce que je dis, c'est souvent comme ça en fait, mais là encore plus que d'hab... Et on y restera probablement pas des heures pour bouquiner ou papoter. Service pro, un peu timide mais appliqué, Monsieur Barista à l'avant et Mademoiselle Cook dans la petite kitchen à l'arrière. Si tu fais ta petite ballade hip-alternative dans le coin, Mok se doit d'être sur ta liste pour la pause-café, que ce soit sur place ou to go, et confirme que même Old Brussels connaît un ou deux périmètres en gentrification... read more

Most amazing vegan breakfast bowl. I was traveling around Europe and hadn't found many good healthy vegan places. And I highly recommend this one. Friendly customer service and amazing food. Made my trip so much better read more
