Barnini

The saviour of the extinction of bagels

Barnini

The title of this review probably reveals it – the bagels are incredibly delicious at this place. On the menu you can find several amazing combinations. Bagels aren't the only thing that make the little cafe famous: from good coffees to hot chocolates decorated with smarties or mellow cakes, but also tasty desserts, like brownies and bread pudding.

Great beers, nice wines & smiling staff

Clodette

Off the beaten path in an upcoming neighbourhood between 't Eilandje and the university quarter, this bar attracts locals and students of all ages in a nice ambiance and with friendly owners and bar staff. During lunch they serve some cheap and fresh food, in the evening they pump up the volume a little bit and play catchy soulful (house) music.

Homemade cake and drinks

Lojola

The home made cakes, cookies, mousses and other things to satisfy a sweet tooth, are all so good it's hard to pick just one. Next to that, there also have home made drinks, like hot chocolate, ice tea, and other drinks to accompany your pastry. Last but not least, the interior will make you feel right at home!

grab a coffee and rent a Vespa

Tartoer Vespa Bar

Great small coffee bar in the shadow of the cathedral, where you can have delicious coffee and fresh tea. You gotta try the home-made lemonades and cakes and during summer you'll find great ice cream. You can also rent a Vespa and discover the city with a programmed route on a GPS.
