While walking around the area in search of gifts for family, we stumbled upon this cozy and classy…read morelittle tea shop. The tea shop appears to be family owned and both the wife and husband were extremely kind and helpful. The wife helped us pick tea, speaking a little English, and was very encouraging towards our own attempts at French. In addition to buying tea to go, we also had a cup on the spot. The tea was great and the environment was warm and relaxing, with jazz music playing in the background. Lastly, the store has a nice selection of different Belgian sweets (chocolate, cookies, etc.) from other businesses if tea is, well, not your cup of tea. Overall, this tea house is an amazing gem nestled in a rather busy and occasionally touristy area that should not be missed.

The ambience of this location really makes it special. I was really looking for a Hallmark movie themed experience and starting here was perfect. My waffle was scrumptious and a great start to the day. Highly recommend.

The reviews of Maison Dandoy are mixed and while I wanted to like it, I thought it was just okay…read more I enjoyed their front room the most where they sold cookies, crackers, chocolate, totes, and gifts. There's an option to pick a box or tin and fill it the cookies of your choice. The waffles themselves are something I can make at home and save the €15. I ordered the basic powdered sugar waffle, liege style. My husband ordered the Belgian style waffle which was topped with macerated strawberries and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Again, the waffle and strawberries weren't warm so it was like eating a dry stale cold waffle with cold strawberries and a scoop of ice cream. Disappointing to say the least. I'd pass on this place and stick with the street vendors where you can watch them make it in front of your eyes and served warm.

The waiter was busy answering orders and prepare take-away while the barista padded hiss shoulder and say I'll take this one. That very mmoment is sweet. A bit crowded because tables are small and close to each other. Ordered the golden milk and sweet pancake. Could it be any better to share laughters with friends and sweets in a cold winter afternoon?

We had a car but we were hoping to find something close by and were able to walk to and from dinner. I'm so happy we found this little spot. The server was patient w our English and our orders were exactly what we thought and were hoping for. The food was wonderful, but you will need to tell the Server at what times you want your food served because Europeans enjoy and eat slowly unlike a majority of us Americans. We will definitely eat again at this spot, should we land in Belgium again. Enjoy!

If you've never had these types of pastries, I would highly reccomended you try. They are often very petit, with intricate twisty shapes. Very different from something like a French pastry. We stopped in on a weekend trip. It is right near the Grand Place, so mark this spot on your itinerary around the palace. The shop is like a scene in Harry Potter. The pastries look magical, glittering with different colors. Sits perfectly in with the surrounding architecture. The shop keeper was very nice and efficient. She spoke to my boyfriend in French and me in English. I bought two pastries. I round pastry with pistachios, and a pastry similar to a fig newton, but with dates. Both were amazing!
