A little restaurant on the Oude Koornmarkt with good desserts. We arrived there after walking…read morethrough Antwerpen for hours looking for a nice place to have a piece of cake and some coffee. Unfortunately the owner was rude to us. He told us it was impossible to serve desert, we could only have dinner because "everyone in Antwerpen eats dinner between 18:00 and 20:00". When we told him we did not know that and were really in the mood for a piece of cake, he said "you should have done some research before leaving the house" We left the place but the owner relented and came after us. He gave us a table in the back and it turned out the restaurant was almost deserted. I had a macarone with chocolate mouse and raspberries, and my companion had the sachertorte. Both were good. Summing up: 3-4 stars for the food but only 1 star for customer service. On average a "meh" experience.

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.
