The staff was super friendly, the restaurant tidy, their pastries looked really good with the brownie like cake being a crowd favorite. If you are in the area, you have to order an iced vanilla latte. The drink was super creamy from the oat milk and the coffee and vanilla were so tasty and not overly sweet. I wanted to order another one to go for the train ride back but decided against it. The lemonade was refreshing but not your typical American lemonade and was like lemon water with a hint of sugar and mint. There's plenty of seating inside and out, so go in and buy a drink and snack, grab a table, and relax.

The chocolate syrup is superb! It's truly made from melted chocolate - it's not your typical American artificial syrups. When you mix in all the chocolate from the bottom of the cup, it's a truly cup of chocolatey goodness. I would totally recommend this drink to those who enjoy mocha.

Staff are attentive and run around with a fury to keep up with the clientele coming and going. The menu is extensive but we settled on each having a Waffle Gravensteen which comes with chocolate sauce, blueberries. vanilla ice cream and a red (red fruit coulis) topping sauce on the ice cream. We accompanied that with a warm chocolate milk drink. Both were purely amazing, although the waffle was a bit crunchy compared to others I have tried. The atmosphere is vibrant and fun, and you'll get a good dessert fix, best for an afternoon treat. It appears to primarily cater to tourists, yet they seem to keep the quality good. There's nothing better than a snack of waffles and chocolate!

However, I wasn't all that keen on having just tea I preferred a coffee, so that is what I ended up grabbing, and not surprisingly it was, like most (though not all), coffee shops, really good. They even had an outdoor area out the back, though the main part of the cafe was the inside, and they also did a variety of dishes. However, they also were more than happen for me to simply come in and have a coffee out the back. Okay, they were a little slow, but since there were quite a few people here (particularly since this place is pretty popular, and highly rated).

The remainder is given over to two main rooms for the cafe. Cafe Max is buzzing with traditionally clad waiters who whisk past in a flurry of aprons and silver jugs. The menu is extensive, offering mostly afternoon treats such as beignets, waffles, pancakes and icecream sundaes. Each comes in an array of permutations: with avocaat, strawberries, fruit salad, cream, chocolate sauce and jam (well, the pancakes come with jam). In addition there are lots of fruit and flavoured teas, coffees and other drinks. Service is quick and efficient, and afternoon tea here is a fine treat. Now that the exchange rate against the Euro has worsened, it's not a cheap experience, but still highly worthwhile. You may need to tackle a fair few cobbled street afterwards to work off the calories.

You maybe wanna be/act special, but I would rather have good coffee(starbucks for example) than act like a snob and go here to pretend that I am a hipster and have good coffee... . Anyway if u still wanna go, ask for milky coffee because it will camouflage the bad taste of the coffee... . Short note: paid for two coffees, in the first one I asked for hazelnut syrup and they putted so much in it that I wanted a second one. Of course they remade with another payment...
