    Amazing bakery, since many years. Always lots of bread choices. Try tarte tatin and croix de savoye. Or anything else really. Passionate young people behind it, so hipsters will surely love it.

    Their best desert was myrtille cheesecake but they stopped producing it out of the blue.Haven't been able to find no-bake cheesecake in Bxl ever since. Strawberry tarts and eclairs also very good

    Take a delicious croissant and have a cup of loose black tea (brought to you in a nice old-fashioned teapot) and the day can start!

    Best bakery around Sainte Catherine, great for an express breakfast or a coffee. You can use free wifi for 1 hour. My favourite formula Croix de Savoie with cappuccino :)

    Quiches, juices and muffins (try the plain vanilla!) are excellent. Service was very attentive. Latte was a little small - ask for a large if you like a long coffee.

    Go in for a quick and delicious breakfast. Many locals frequent this place. Beware, even though they bake a lot, they often sell out quite fast.

    The display windows will have you drooling as soon as you step in: fresh sandwiches with fine ingredients, viennoiseries and sumptuous pastries (go for the Frou Frou). Read more

    Nice pastries, great coffee, amazing bread! Try to come as early as possible because bread of the day disappears quickly!

    It looked like a chain so I wasn't impressed at first - until I tasted the pain au chocolat! I'm not a big fan of them but it was the best I ever tasted & had to buy 2 more. Belgian friend agreed.

    Amazing bread and patisserie: pricey but worth it. Also shop your specialty flour for home-baking goodness!

    According to the law Charlie is not allowed to sell anymore it's delicious sandwiches unless he places them in a cooler vitrine. Charli believes that this would sacrifice quality... (To be continued)

    Nice pastries, more of a bakery than a coffee shop (limited seating). 20€ minimum on cards.

    Bring your own reusable bread bag. Being organic bakers, they'll appreciate the eco-friendly behaviour!
