Great selection of coffees and teas!…read more The interior is cozy, and the wall of teas is definitely impressive. We did end up having our drinks outside on the terrace because it was waaaaay too hot and stuffy inside. Luckily, the terrace does have heaters which they did turn on. Every drink also came with a little chocolate of your choosing.

Aux Merveilleux de Fred offers these confections (large and small) with various toppings. We never tried one, but we did try many offerings from this bakery: Bread with sugar & raisins, pain au chocolate, sandwiches. Everything was fresh and delicious! You can see the bakers in the window and back of the store so you know the items are made on the premises. We stayed at the Marriott next door so we came here a few times for breakfast. When we ate in, a server took our order and items arrived quickly. Great little spot.

Went here to specifically try a Merveilleux after always seeing them walking past the store. I…read moreordered a small chocolate one and received it in a small perfectly sized box. It turned out to be a 2 pieces of meringue and airy chocolate in the middle with chocolate shavings on the outside. The pastry was very light and airy. Would definitely try the other flavors!

Waffles, beer, frites and chocolate was basically the itinerary (: we started with waffles on our…read morefirst morning in Brussels and I can't think of a better place to begin than at Maison Dandoy. 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.

Ordered "The Peck" and the Magic Mushroom". Both tasted great…read more I was first a little upset for being served a a half size of sparkling water for 2.50 euros. Considering everything on the menu was moderately priced why jack up the cost of water and sparkling to 2.50 for half bottles. Sorry for the rant. I would come back because it is good. I just won't order the waters anymore

Not worth the hype. Could definitely find something better for the price! Central locationread more

What a hidden gem. No tables for dine in it's a grab and go kind of place. Lots of locals when we…read morewalked in. Even a couple of police officers ahead of us ordering. You know it's good if they're there. We didn't know what to get so we ordered a ham and cheese sandwich (only 4 euros), a baguette and a napoleon and everything was under $10. What a steal. Everyone was leaving with multiple baguettes and now we know why. It was crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Everything you dream about baguette to be. We were so happy we stopped by.

Really great breakfast spot. I got a decently portioned panini for less than 5€! Quiet and laid…read moreback but good food.

The bread that came with the combo meal was huge. It was soft even though it was cold. I had to ask for butter since it didn't come with any. Overall decent breakfast and i would come back again

Yelp has wrong hours for this place! I went to go eat breakfast and had to wait in the rain until…read morethey opened at 8am. It's a clean cafe with two floors. No one speaks English and there is no English on the menu but we figured things out pretty ok. It was pretty good, nothing outstanding but nothing bad either. They were the open place close by for me so i was happy with what i got. We got moroccon tea, almond croissant, tomato & mozzarella panini, and freshly pressed orange juice. All of them were really good!

There was a long line and a long wait, which wasn't surprising since this place is so popular. They…read morehave an outdoor seating area if you don't mind eating outside, although the upstairs indoor seating was closed during our visit. We ordered the Classic Brussels waffle and the Simply Brussels waffle. After the first bite, it was easy to see why this place is so popular. I've never had a waffle this light, crispy, and airy before. I loved the Classic, topped with rich chocolate sauce and a scoop of ice cream. My friend went with the Simply, topped with cinnamon crumbles and a scoop of ice cream. What impressed me the most was the texture. Every bite was the perfect combination of warm waffle, rich chocolate, and cold ice cream. Even until the very last bite, the waffle stayed light and crispy without becoming soggy. That's not something you find very often, and it made the experience even more memorable. Yum! :p

First Belgian waffles and Wow. They offer Lieges (thicker/denser) and Brussels (thin/crispy)…read morewaffles. I tend to like the lighter crispy style waffle so I really liked the brussels style waffle. I wouldn't recommend putting too many wet toppings on the brussels waffle since it gets soggy pretty quick. Lieges waffle has sugar in the dough so it is a bit sweet and the dough almost tastes like a croissant dough. They made our waffle to order, piping hot and fresh. Pay extra for seating but there's some standing tables outside.

I came here based on Yelp reviews as it was out of the way from my hotel. The hotel breakfast was…read morenot very good and my work colleague is a vegetarian. This place has many vegetarian options. This place serves fruit bowls, fresh-squeezed juices and fresh veggies as well as typical breakfast and lunch items. They specialize in poached eggs and peck-style waffles. I went with the charcoal pancakes which has strawberry sauce and lime cream cheese; I also had egg, OJ, and a latte. My colleague had avocado toast with spring mix. I was very pleased with the charcoal pancakes but the portion was quite small. It's a good thing that I ordered egg as well. My colleague loved the avocado toast. My cell signal was very spotty and they provided me with the WiFi password. The service was good, the menu was unique, the food was good and the name is awesome. Four stars!

Probably the best brunch I've had!!…read more Saw the great reviews on yelp which are 90% spot on with accuracy based on the reviews. Arrived around 1PM to a packed house.
