Was recommended by an Airbnb host to visit here. I didn't try the coffee as old age means can't sleep at night. Tried the Green Bancha Tea, Soup of the day, and a ham and cheese sandwich. Costed me €14 in total which filled me right up. Friendly staff, nice ambience and very spacious. Good for meet ups with friends, or colleagues, or even for solos to do work. Nice chilled out music. Outside has construction work but I've been told they are digging up the canal again for the boats to run through again. Forgot to mention this place takes card only and no cash. Order at the till when ready. I would visit again when I visit Gent. A big thumbs up from me.

My favorite coffeeshop in town where it's heaven to sit at the big windows/on the patio to draw the passerbys, decor and stare in the abyss daydreaming. Great cappuccino and koffiekoeken make for a wonderful breakfast in the early morning sun.

Lovely coffee shop for our Sunday visit to Ghent. Bidon is a very neat, cozy, and relaxing place where to stop and have a warm drink. We enjoyed coming here. The quality of the beverages was very good and the interior of the coffee shop looks very nice with seats of all types and big windows.

Big portions for reasonable prices, delicious and nice outside sitting area. Love it!

(Translated by Google) Great place on the Bar, along the new, beautifully reopened canal ... Near the harbor, the center ... A very nice service ... (Original) Geweldige plek op de Reep, langs het nieuwe, prachtig heropende kanaal... Vlakbij de haven, het centrum... Een bijzondere leuke bediening...

(Translated by Google) Nice and cosy. Good to get energy back. Free wifi and tasty chocolate milk. (Original) Leuk en gezellig. Goed om om terug energie te krijgen. Gratis wifi en lekkere chocomelk.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful setting both inside and outside on the water, nice coffee! (Original) Mooie setting zowel binnen als buiten aan het water, lekkere koffie!

Cool place. Good coffee and cozy place.

Bidon keeps its promise: excellent coffee.

Cozy Cafe near a canal. Great coffee and some small snacks like salad or toast. The brownie is to die for.

What a cool café in Gent! I recommend this place to anyone who likes a good pour over coffee. They also put the coffee in a beaker for any of you science nerds!

Absolutely love this place. The bike theme is very much present in a fun way. When sunny they put chairs and tables outside and you can enjoy your drinks in the sun next to the water. Staff has very little knowledge about the drinks they serve though, I asked two staff members what kind of beer one on the menu was and they both didn't know. The cakes look nice and home made. I would come back here.

Really nice place to enjoy your coffee. The vibes of the place itself and the area are really good. It is located in a nice spot along the water. They had some good looking options for eating, but unfortunately we didn't try. The coffee was super good. The only thing that I didn't understand is why they served some people and some others had to go to take themselves their order

Entspanntes Cafe mit wunderschönem Blick auf den Fluß und Gent. Beliebter Treffpunkt für Radfahrer und Fußgänger. Hier kann man gut an einem Sonntag einfach nur sitzen und relaxen.

I love this place! The coffee is fantastic, the views amazing and it has a relaxed vibe.

Came here to have a nice cup of coffee, liked it so much that we came back the next day for a cup of tea.

The cafe is really cool - well decorated and also located! It is near to a canal and when there is sunny weather, you can enjoy your drink while sunbathing in- or outside. Although I really liked the cafe, I only give 4 stars since the service was slow. Only two baristas are not enough. So bring time!

(Translated by Google) Spacious, bright spot in the heart of Ghent. Tasty salads, soups and drinks. Slightly more expensive than average but okay. (Original) Ruime, lichte plek in hartje Gent. Lekkere salades, soepen en drankjes. Iets duurder dan gemiddeld maar oké.

(Translated by Google) Cozy bar! Fun concept! In a completely new neighborhood in Ghent! Tific prices. Recommended. Ideal location for enjoying the winter sun! (Original) Gezellige bar! Leuk concept! In een volledig nieuwe buurt in Gent! Schappelijke prijzen. Aanrader. Ideale locatie om te genieten van het winterzonnetje!!

(Translated by Google) The food is tasty but the service is some wear. And it's a bit loud inside. But very friendly people! (Original) Het eten is lekker maar de bediening is wat draag. En binnen is het wat luid. Maar wel heel vriendelijke mensen!

(Translated by Google) Nice place.After the bustle in Ghent you can enjoy warm or refreshing drinks, aperitif, breakfast or lunch. Note that you can only pay with bancontact here. (Original) Leuke plek.Na de drukte in Gent kan je hier genieten van warme of frisse drankjes, aperitief, breakfast of lunch. Let wel je kan hier enkel met bancontact betalen.

Beautiful place with lots of natural light, nice atmosphere and friendly people! Their coffee is great too!

(Translated by Google) Cozy and original cafe with very nice and friendly people in the ministry! (Original) Gezellig en origineel cafe met hele toffe en vriendelijke mensen in de bediening!

Glad we discovered this place for a pit stop before heading home from Gent. Nice relaxed vibe and good beers!

(Translated by Google) Supper friendly people and good food I will definitely come back !!! (Original) Supper vriendelijk mensen en goed eten ik kom zeker terug !!!

We ordered one ham & cheese toast along with our order but one of the baristas accidentally counted it twice in the bill. She mentioned it to us immediately, was very polite about it and said we can have any pastry we want in return. When we went to do that, the other barista told us that because of price difference we can have 3 instead of 1. In general very friendly staff and professional service! Atmosphere is quite nice and the sandwich and the pastries were delicious as well.

Really good coffee and fresh Croissant! Will return for sure !

(Translated by Google) Great. First stop just off the bus. Definitely appreciable for the wide range of local products. A little 'car ... !! (Original) Ottimo.Prima tappa appena scesi dal pulmann.Sicuramente apprezzabile per l'ampia offerta di prodotti tipici del luogo. Un po' caretto...!!

Great coffee, good breakfast options, exceptional got chocolate, and lots of seating + kiddo distractions (toys for at least 2-6). Highly recommended!

The chai latte here is pretty bad. They basically heated up milk and sprinkled cinnamon on it. I took one sip and asked to change it, rather than drink it with disgust or walk away disappointed. To my surprise they didn’t let me change a full chai latte, which was tasteless. Hence the review. The location and the vibe in the café is nice though. They had cool music playing as well.

Cool place to have a coffee at, chill vibes. I order the cappuccino which was really good, comes with a biscuit as well :).

Hipster place with nice drinks, chill music and a great modern-industrial decoration

Very good hot chocolate and coffee. Cosy and great decoration

non welcoming staff, tasteless and tiny cappuccino, seemed like they couldnt manage their business (dirty plates everywhere, got buzzers to get a coffee..) The only pro is the lovely terrace.

Cute place!! Nice coffee and sweets of the day! A bit slow service, but I can't blame them. Good stuff takes time to be made 😁

Great coffee and cake, lovely relaxed atmosphere and beautiful location at the riverside. Love to hang out there

Beatiful café but: Overheated milk for a cappuccino and the grill cheese was extremely dry (6,5 eur). Totally disappointed.

Coffee was decent but small. Carrot cake was also ok but I had one scone which was hard as a rock and didn’t feel fresh (also a weird rosemary taste?) when I told the employee she told me that’s the way the scone is there, I asked at least for some jam and they didn’t even have that. A rip off. Considering bill was 19,50 EUR for 2 coffees and 2 “pastries”

Overall wonderful experience with great location and soothing ambience. Latte Macchiato was on the smaller side. Would love to try out the winter soup when we visit Gent next time.

It is a little more expensive but good location and nice to stay for longer time. Like the big windows and the list of drinks. The mint tea is always good :)

Quiet Cafe with great canal views. Staff was friendly and helpful. Loved the bike theme. We just stayed for drinks, but had a pleasant time in this atmosphere.

Great coffee and fresh juices next to the river. Ideal for a quick stop after a long walk in the city.

Great place for coffee. We enjoyed the vibe!

(Translated by Google) Coffee and bicycle, top concept in Ghent! It is nice to stay. Seems to me for the locals who were numerous present an ideal stopping place to take a rest! We were kindly received by the owner. We will definitely be back! (Original) Coffee en bicycle, topconcept in Gent! Het is er leuk vertoeven. Lijkt me voor de locals die talrijk aanwezig waren een ideale stopplaats om even tot rust te komen! Wij werden er vriendelijk ontvangen door de eigenares. We komen zeker terug!

Nice view and good coffee

I like interior decoration and sitting inside in cold sunny day for coffee and breakfast. By the way delicious jam

Quite good place for coffee, cake and lunch.

Nice coffee place with a great view. The iced coffee is recommended.

Great little café at the canal with enough seats. Chic design, the bike theme is well implemented. The food is not worth mentioning, just normal stuff, but the coffee is quite good.

They don’t care if you order anything in the cafe and they are not freely available on the counter to take your order. They don't even notify customers if their order is ready. They also close the counter one hour before they close the shop. So it’s like they are doing you a favour if you buy anything ! It doesn’t look like they are running a business. But who cares about that right ?

Nice place with large windows. Very nice with some sun. Coffee is nice. However service is really slow and only one toilet, so have to stand in line... Fix those and additional stars are on the way :)

(Translated by Google) Only pay with bank card. Who now takes his bank card on the racing bike? More for hipsters than for real cyclists (Original) Enkel betalen met bankkaart . Wie neemt er nu zijn bankkaart mee op de koersfiets ? Meer voor hipsters dan voor echte fietsers

When you say close at 530, don't turn your espresso machine off at 5. Bad business right here ... no wonder why it's only a 3.8 rating

(Translated by Google) Did not go forward that fast, space to sit (outside) was closed (think by covid) was a shame. (Original) Ging niet zo snel vooruit, ruimte om te zitten (buiten) was afgesloten (denk door covid) was wel jammer.

Bad service. A regular ham and cheese sandwich it barely has ham.

Best coffee in Ghent ?

(Translated by Google) Today on our way to Amsterdam with super nice stopover in Ghent. Splendor place: Bar Bidon. Unwise delicious coffees, very atmospheric affair but especially the unwise nice and cheerful reception of the barista lady was really TOP! She was super enthusiastic, cheerful & nice .... she even turned the fan on us so we would not have the heat. So if you are in Ghent then definitely go to Bar Bidon :-) Grtz Sav / A'dam (Original) Vandaag op doorreis naar Amsterdam met super leuke tussenstop in Gent. Pracht plek geweest: Bar Bidon. Onwijs lekkere coffees, hele sfeervolle zaak maar vooral het onwijs aardige en vrolijke ontvangst van de barista dame was echt TOP! Ze was super enthousiast, vrolijk & aardig....ze richtte zelfs de ventilator op ons zodat we het minder warm zouden hebben. Dus ben je in Gent ga dan zeker naar Bar Bidon :-) Grtz Sav/ A'dam

(Translated by Google) Nice restaurant, also excellent coffee and cappuccino (Original) Bello il locale, ottimi anche caffe e cappuccino

(Translated by Google) Tasty coffee, tea, ... a place to relax. Warm, sincere owners! One of our favorite cuttings! (Original) Lekkere koffie, thee's,... een plek om te relaxen. Warme, oprechte eigenaars! Één van onze favoriete stekjes!

Great coffee, hip and quiet atmosphere, try their cheesecake

Original place with organic and delicious food and drinks. Handy to get your bike fixed while having a coffee or just sit outside in the sun.

Pro Team astana with us for the coffee. Really good place.

Comfortable atmosphere and airy crispy bread

Great vibes, loved the interior. I would recommend this place for a good cup of coffee and cake.

We came without reservation with a big group and were very welcome! The coffee and food were really great! And what a wonderful decoration and atmosphere! We are coming back for sure.

(Translated by Google) Café with original setting on the edge of the city center. Atypical decor, very good hot chocolate. (Original) Café au cadre original en bordure de centre ville. Déco atypique, très bon chocolat chaud.

Nice atmosphere, nice coffee.

(Translated by Google) Nice coffee bar with friendly service! (Original) Leuke koffiebar met vriendelijke bediening!

(Translated by Google) Very nice coffee bar with a lively, yet peaceful setting. A pretty rustic décor. Very friendly service and very nice coffee. Here they only accept payment cards. Ideal location to work in peace. (Original) Zeer mooie koffiebar met een levendige, doch rustige setting. Een vrij rustiek interieur. Zeer vriendelijke bediening en zeer lekkere koffie. Hier aanvaarden ze enkel betaalkaarten. Ideale locatie om rustig te werken.

(Translated by Google) Very poor and unfriendly service !! We arrived at 4 pm and were not allowed to order anything, not even a drink! (Original) Zeer slechte en onvriendelijke bediening!! We kwamen om 16u binnen en mochten niets meer bestellen, zelfs geen drank!

(Translated by Google) Specialty coffee shop. They have espresso but also filter coffee (v60, aeropress, etc.). The place is beautiful and very bright. A lot of space but at the same time, quiet. They only accept card to pay. My choice has been an Ethiopian coffee with a V60 filter. Very good! And dogs can enter !!!!!! (Original) Cafetería de especialidad. Tienen espresso pero también café de filtro (v60, aeropress, etc.). El lugar es precioso y muy luminoso. Mucho espacio pero a la vez, tranquilo. Sólo aceptan tarjeta para pagar. Mi elección ha sido un café de Etiopía con filtro V60. Muy bueno! Y pueden entrar perros!!!!!!

Lovely cafe with friendly staff.

(Translated by Google) Better than the competitors! And it's nice not to be right in the city. Also great when the sun is out. Good service, good coffee, cakes / pastries can sometimes be better. (Original) Beter dan de concurrenten! En is eens fijn om niet pal in de stad te zitten. Ook top als de zon uit zit. Goeie bediening, goeie koffie, gebak/koffiekoeken kunnen soms iets beter.

(Translated by Google) Really a top spot. Tasty drinks, great atmosphere, and super friendly staff! (Original) Echt een top plekje. Lekkere drankjes, toffe sfeer, en super vriendelijk personeel!

(Translated by Google) O O for over-priced coffee in unsympathetic cause. While the glasses in which the coffee is served are getting smaller and smaller, the price for them is increasing. Going to the toilet is not allowed because of Corona. Ugh? Is it corona safe that everyone has to place their order at the bar and collect it themselves at the bar? The Bar has been nicely redesigned, yes. That's the only asterisk. (Original) O O voor overprijsde koffie in onsympathiek zaak. Terwijl de glazen waarin men de koffie schenkt steeds kleiner worden, wordt de prijs ervoor steeds groter. Naar het toilet gaan mag niet, wegens Corona. Ugh? Dat iedereen z'n bestelling aan de bar moet doen én die zelf moet ophalen aan de bar, is wel coronaveilig? De Reep is mooi heraangelegd, ja. Da's het enige sterretje.

(Translated by Google) Friendly service! (Original) Vriendelijke bediening!

(Translated by Google) Always fine. Too bad they don't have deca (Original) Altijd in orde. Jammer dat ze geen deca hebben

(Translated by Google) Great bar in a very nice spot in Ghent! Nice coffee and cookies and super friendly and enthusiastic service. I will definitely visit this again during my cycling trips.
