Crusio is the oldest ice cream shop in the Netherlands, having been established in 1915, before the…read morewar. I love going to Crusio because all the ice cream is gelato and it is always fresh and creamy! It is a family business that has passed down their recipe to the present day, and honestly some of the most delicious ice cream I have ever had. The service is always friendly and the "ice cream girls" and "ice cream boys" as Crusio calls them will always greet you with a smile on their face. My favorite is the vanilla because the flavor is very genuine and it is not too sweet. 10/10 ice cream 10/10 friendly service

I would travel a great distance to have a loaf of bread for this place…read more This is a true bakery with everything baked by hand the night before in house... not shipped in from a factory like many others. Often it is still warm form the oven. it is a family run shop , sometimes even grandma is behind the till. I truly LOVE this place , it will be on my top 5 things I will miss about Belgium once I return back to Canada. Since everything is produce by the father over night, the shop is only open in the mornings and until around 12 or 1 . NOT on Sundays If you live in Leuven or just visiting it is worth getting up early , taking a walk and buying the best loaf of bread you will ever have Try the "houtak" ( not sure of dutch spelling) it is a dark round loaf .

I just wanted to buy one cookie so I could return later. I was so surprised that the wonderful lady behind the counter gave it to me for free. It was SO incredible I bought a bag of 10!

We came here on a rainy Friday and there was a line of about 10 people out the door. We ended up going inside and grabbing a table as we were a group of 4 and there were seats available. We ordered a few Bossche Bols for the group and coffees. If you ever have the opportunity to come here, please do. This bakery is known for the Bossche Bol, right by the train station, on the main street as you exit toward the city. Pro tip, if there's a line outside and you have some time, check the dining area to see if there are tables! Bossche Bols are best when they're fresh!

The Bossche bol from this establishment in particular was highly recommended by our tour guide, and it did not disappoint. The whipped cream was both thick and airy (a really magical combination if you ask me), with the perfect amount of sweetness. I thought to myself: So this is what a proper Bossche bol should taste like! My only gripe was that the layer of chocolate on the outside was way too sweet. It's supposed to be dark chocolate, yet I don't know how it's so sweet. The mint tea here was also too strong for me, and the cup was quite small. If they only used a bigger cup and added a little more hot water, it would have been perfect. The service was stellar though. My boyfriend and I shared a single Bossche bol (it's huge!), and they even brought out an extra plate and set of silverware without us asking for it. Pro tip: If you grab a Bossche bol to go, it's only €3 instead of €3,60. I personally think the sit down experience is worth the extra 60 cents (especially if you can grab a table upstairs with a nice view).
