One of the first coffee shops in town. Very crowdy, if you want lunch or breakfast in the weekend, we recommend to make a reservation. Not in centre of town, but a very lively neighbourhood.

Another one of the originals in the Ghent coffee scene. Great coffee. Nice terrace. Fun fact: the drawings inside of the nice decor are done by Panamarenko, one of Belgium’s most important artists. I’d recommend a reservation here too.
