When we got near we realised it was cake, this makes me happy. We bought a selection of 'merveilleux' which are like little meringues delicately filled. The service was exceptional with the staff working efficiently and in such a friendly manner to serve people quickly. The merveilleux weren't overly sweet which is amazing considering they were like mini meringues! They were beautiful with amazing flavour and I wish I had bought more to bring home, no matter how bashed they would have ended up. Exquisitive and a must visit if you are in the area of the Wazemmes Market.

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.

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'' ;)
