The service is excellent and the light fare is terrific as is the coffee. The quiche is particularly good. There are also some tempting baked goods available though I did not partake. The prices are quite reasonable as you can get a coffee and a light bite for around €10. If you are around Menepoort, this is a great option for a respite.

Located right outside the Menin Gate, Coffee Break is a small 2-story cafe that not only serves…read morecoffee, but small plates, pastries, and even ice cream. I stopped in here before going to watch the memorial ceremony at the gate for a cup of coffee. It wasn't bitter at all and not too watery either. The brand of coffee they serve is called Cafe Liegeois, and I thoroughly enjoyed my cup. They have a couple outside seating, but I recommend sitting comfortably in their little terrace upstairs. The inside overall is nicely decorated, and is a great place to actually take a ''coffee break'' ;)

I was given a recommendation to go to this place for pastries, and I was satisfied with it! They…read morehave very decorative pastries that made my mouth water.

However, I guess that is only for my curioisty and that much of what happens in cafes is on the outside. Anyway, this cafe was okay, nothing special, but okay. The coffee was nice, the staff okay, and the prices pretty expensive. It was an okay place, but not some place that I would rush back to.

Nice coffee shop with fast service. Showed up with 15 people and was able to get coffees and…read morepastries within minutes. Very surprised how fast service was. It is like a history of coffee shop and cultural coffee shop rolled into one. First they offer, French press, syphon, drip, Italian, Espresso and other variation of coffees from around the world. Second, they have a display of coffee pots and tools on their wall as if a museum exhibition. Last, they have a coffee shop to buy your beans, pots, and cups among other things. Tasty coffee, large interior, fast and friendly service in an inviting atmosphere is always fun.

The interior is fantastic, offers insight into the local brewing history and has a little shop. The coffee served is how you would want it: steamy and with character. Myself, I had a cold pressing to celebrate the summer, and the taste was simply devine. Definitely a place to go back to, for a lungo, macchiato or an espresso. And yes, they have a great selection of sandwiches and patisserie too.

The ice cream was homemade and out of this world according to my daughter. And she is picky. Looks like a great dinner spot. I would go back and try the full menu. It contained a lot of local house recipes that sounded interesting.
