★★★★★8 months agoTotally worth the trip from Amsterdam to Brussels for Mains!!! I was honestly so impressed the moment I arrived, the shop was constantly busy with customers coming in nonstop, and I completely loved their pastries. Before I left, I even grabbed a loaf to take home, and it made me so happy and satisfied! No bakery I’ve had in the Netherlands is as good as this one. Once again, it proves that countries influenced by French culinary culture just know how to BAKE!!! amazing.

★★★★★3 months agoThe staff are so welcoming and professional here, the bread is hands down the best I have ever eaten. The fact that they bake spectacular vegan pains au chocolat and croissants is so impressive to me. The coffee is superb, even down to the oat milk served & sold there. I adore the branding and equally enjoy getting bread to takeaway or sitting on the terrace with my dog and coffee. A must visit!
