Indoor and outdoor seating with umbrellas for sunny or wet days. It's small, indoors there's maybe seating for 10-12. Outdoors has 8 small tables. I had the #1, which is smoked ham, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, olive oil, and rocket. It was one of the best ham and cheese sandwiches I've ever had. There were other things on it too that looked like a thinly sliced cucumber and another type of dressing. Highly recommended for a quick, good, inexpensive meal. Staff was friendly.

There were 4 varieties-tomato, broccoli, carrots and cauliflower and there are 4 toppings you can add-meatballs, chicken, cheese or herbs (or mix/match). You order at the counter (kid, medium or large sizes) and tell them your toppings. The food comes with a tangerine and bread for around 8€ so a cheap lunch. Some seating upstairs as well which is a little less hectic. They also sell sandwiches but we didn't try them. Tomato seemed to be the best seller (also what we had) and a medium bowl (guessing around 2-3 cups of soup) was ample for me for lunch.

On a cold winter day, people truly do crave warm soup. So it's no wonder this soup shop does so…read morewell. They really have such warm delicious soup options with nice simple sandwiches to pair with it, so it's a hit among many locals. The staff are very efficient at what they do. So the line may be long, but it goes fairly quickly. They do typically have a dutch menu to start, but you can easily ask for an English menu. They are very accommodating. My friend and I decided to eat in. For eating in, you order first and then you tell them where you will sit and they bring the food to your table when its ready. I personally really love a good tomato-y soup and saw Bolognaise was very popular, so it was an easy decision for me. Truly the Bolognaise hit the spot for me. It's tomato based, but filled with so many veggies inside. You can also choose as much toppings as you want. Overall, it's very hearty and wholesome. I had a medium and I could have honestly eaten more... It was that warm/delicious. The sandwiches are very simple. It's made with simple standard ingredients, but the soup and sandwich combo really makes you feel full and satisfied. It makes for a good/decently priced lunch option.

I was staying nearby and couldn't wait to try it out, so how did it go... AMAZING! I was 3 days in Gent, I had brunch here twice! Says a lot, man, if I was a local I'd be regularly found hanging out here. Lovely seating out front though even in side, they've made great use the space and got a quirky mezzanine space. As a cafe, it's also a store where you can purchase some of the yummiest organic produce plus what appeared to be locally sourced produce. The back of the store, has dispensers with nuts, grains so you can buy by the weight which is so convenient! First day, I had the avocado and goats cheese sandwich and it was so delicious, I savoured every bite. On my second visit, I had the fruit granola; wish I could have brought some home with me but still had travelling to do. If I'm ever back in town, will be the first place I go to!

What a great find in Gent!…read more Good food made fun, inspiring and delicious. Love the combinations of classic healthy stuff, combined with tasty cheeses. Salads, sandwiches, hot, cold... They have generous selections of fizzydrinks, juices, coffee and teas. The vibe in here is good as well, love a nice beat to go with the food. Marble counters and copper lamps = classy! Wish they'd use more environmentally friendly materials for the food, though. Porcelain instead of paper plates and other than plastic containers for the salads.

The guys waiting were so friendly and were clearly having fun while working hard. The service is very casual, with small outbursts of tap dancing and singing, so if that isn't your thing be warned. Basically I didn't feel trendy enough to be there! They were also very helpful, asking us what we had planned for our stay and marking some places to go on our map (all of which were great recommendations). The food itself was served efficiently and the sandwiches were big with good quality ingredients. Wine was also nice and reasonably priced. We weren't planning on getting cake and a coffee however they told us it was honestly very good so we had a slice of carrot cake and a flat white. It was good.... Like seriously good. Huge slice with tonnes of cream cheese frosting, mmmm. They also serve soups, quiches etc as well as having a brunch menu. If in Ghent look this place up for brunch or lunch!

Not many options in Gent for a remotely American style breakfast, so we were happy to come upon…read moreBodega's on our walk from the center of town to the train station. As of November, 2018 the place has been open for two years. The energetic and kind host welcomed us in, and we sat at a pleasant two-top with a view of the boulevard and passers-by. Eggs Benedict was listed as a house specialty, so we gave it a try. At €9, it was a little small (only half the size of a typical Benedict. More aptly named "Egg Benedict," it comes with just one egg, a single strip of bacon, and perfectly sauteed spinach on a single hearty piece of toast) - but the flavors were excellent. Instead of the usual hollandaise used in the US, which I find a bit bland, Bodega's serves a richer bechamel. This worked wonderfully. We also shared a €7.50 Greek yogurt and granola. Note that granola in Europe means a slightly different cereal- more like what we call muesli. Toasted and nicely flavored rolled oats with nuts and a bit of dried fruit, but without the clusters we typically see. It's quite tasty and similar to granola, but less crunchy. Good value. Coffee was typical European excellent. We had cafe con leche (coffee with milk). One of those will wake you right up. Total cost was €22. Not much more than we'd pay at a cafe at home, but far higher quality. Four stars; a great score by my standard.
