    I always look for sugar free cakes in coffee shops, and I have never seen so much variety of sugar free cakes in a coffee shop. I ordered the apple pie and it was amazing. 🎈 Its also a vegan place so all milks were plant based and it was natural made by owner! It was one of the best cappuccinos I have had!

    Friendly and accommodating, which was much needed when we arrived in a very icy / windy day in Ghent. They allowed our dog inside and even brought a water bowl for him. We ordered biscuits, coffee and scones - which were so yummy. Will definitely stop by again when visiting Ghent.

    Don't get me wrong. The food is great! Especially for non sugar vegan choices. The problem is with the service. I went there on Saturday, I got 2 pecan bars and 2 caramel chocolate bars. The girl who was working there was cleaning the bar at that moment. I ordered, she put the dirty towel on the bar and without washing her hands, she grabs the 4 bars with bare hands and put them in the box. Then she sweeps the chocolate from her fingers on her jeans and hands me the box.. I had similar experience in the past and I thought "It can happen". But I believe that the service is the face of the company when it has to do with stores like that. It is a pity to ruin all the great work that you put on your food.

    Location: Madame Bakster is located in a lively area. It’s well designed and furnished... really hip. A lot of light wood (tables, bar, shelves, chairs, ... ), white tiles and walls, many nice objects on the shelves. The yellow lights is delighting and makes the bar cozier. Food and drink: all the food is homemade, vegetarian (probably vegan, not sure) and really tasty! The beverages are also really good - 2 vegetable milks available: almond and hazelnut. Coffees are being served with a slice sweet popcorns, which makes the break even tastier :) the coffee tastes really nice (I am Italian, so it’s really important for me :p ). Prices a bit higher compared to the average costs... Service: fast, efficient, polite!

    (Translated by Google) Coffee with nut-milk took some getting used to but the pastry was delicious?? (Original) Koffie met noten-melk was wel wat wennen maar het gebakje was heeeerlijk??

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful room for drink a good coffee and eat small well-made food, very social hipster would say! (Original) Bellissimo locale per bere un buon caffè e mangiare piccoli piatti ben fatti, molto social hipster direi!

  • 5/5 Lucía L. 4 years ago on Google
    I didn't even know that everything in this place was vegan! So at the beginning I was a bit disappointed and distrustful "no eggs in a cake??"... But finally, I must confess, I was pleasantly surprised with the delicious cakes, excellent flavour and texture! I want to try them all...And the coffee with hazelnut milk, just amazing!!

  • 5/5 Bram H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Wonderful place to have breakfast in Ghent. The spelled pancakes and the chia seed pudding were particularly tasty. The coffee was very good. Sunday could not go wrong. (Original) Heerlijke plek om te ontbijten in Gent. De spelt pannekoeken en de chiazaad pudding waren bijzonder smakelijk. De koffie was heel goed. De zondag kon niet meer stuk.

  • 4/5 Moha 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The coffee is excellent and the solution is good and it has a nice way to have a sweet coffee with popcorn died with I don't know what relationship between them, but the movement I liked (Original) القهوة ممتازه والحلا جيد وجلساته رايقه عندهم طريقه حلوه يقدمون مع القهوة فشار توفي مع اني مااعرف وش العلاقه بينهم بس حركه اعجبتني

  • 5/5 Lore J. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We have adored! The waiters are very helpful (there was no room, and they managed to create a cozy little place where we sit) and extremely kind. The pastries are amazing both visually and taste and the hot drinks were also perfect. Frankly, we will return with great pleasure! (Original) Nous avons adoré! Les serveurs sont très serviables (il n'y avait plus de place, et ils se sont débrouillés pour nous créer un petit endroit cozy ou nous asseoir) et d'une extrême gentillesse. Les patisseries sont incroyables tant au niveau visuel que gustatif et les boissons chaudes étaient également parfaites. Franchement, nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir!

    Lovely place with great coffee. Kind stuff and the hazelnut milk they make is amazing. Went here a few times and was always happy!

  • 5/5 Irena B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Intimate, cozy atmosphere, delicious coffee in various combinations, homemade cakes. The takeaway - there was no room on Sunday morning, everything was booked in advance (Original) Intimna, ugodna atmosfera, ukusna kava u raznim kombinacijama, domaći kolači. Iznađenje- u nedjelju ujutro nije bilo mjesta, sve je unaprijed bilo rezervirano

  • 3/5 Carmen Van den B. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Tasty pancakes for brunch! Unfortunately all a bit too expensive for what you get. 2 slices of bread with some hummus and avocado for 9.5 euros, that's something about it. For the rest cozy place to sit. (Original) Lekkere pannenkoeken als brunch! Helaas wel allemaal iets te duur voor wat je krijgt. 2 sneetjes brood met wat hummus en avocado voor 9.5 euro, dat is er wel wat over. Voor de rest gezellige plek om te zitten.

  • 5/5 Bella K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great variety of vegan hot drinks and cakes! Also super lovely they serve everything with a small tray of salted caramel popcorn and the atmosphere is very cozy. As we left as the last customers on a sunday evening, they even gave us to more slices of free cake to combat food waste. Very thoughtful and definitely not the last time I'll visit this lovely welcoming space! <3

    (Translated by Google) Tasty fresh innocent tarts, tea and coffee. (Original) Lekkere verse onschuldige taartjes, thee en koffie.

  • 5/5 Alexandru N. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food and pastries and cozy relaxed atmosphere. And of course very friendly staff. This is how I would describe Madame Bakster. So happy we found it while wandering the streets of Ghent. Definitely will go there whenever we return to Ghent.

  • 5/5 Esmée P. 1 year ago on Google
    Super cute, loved working remote here. Oh and the hazelnut milk cappuccino was heavenly!!!

  • 3/5 Put M. 5 months ago on Google
    Chai latte was barely lukewarm and had a strong taste of something like cardamoms. Cakes were ok but I honestly expected a better and wider selection. Guilt free doesn’t have to be over the top with so many different ingredients to make it taste better which often has the opposite effect.

  • 5/5 gareth w. 4 months ago on Google
    Great coffee (Try the hazelnut milk) and the cake was to die for. If you are looking for vegan then I highly recommend.

  • 5/5 René F. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and cosy place a Bit away from the bustling Center of the city. Really friendly staff eager to help . Great Espresso and homemade cakes.

  • 3/5 Maria 1 year ago on Google
    Everything is vegan which is great, but the food is nothing special. The service was slow, we waited over a half an hour for the food, and the automatic doors make it cold to sit near the entrance.

  • 5/5 Farsi B. 1 year ago on Google
    Best coffee Cappuccino I've ever had. I suggest it with their special Almond milk. The Barista also is such a nice person! A great place to take your laptop, do your works and have a coffee.

  • 5/5 Denis S. 4 years ago on Google

    Delicious guiltfree vegan food (the Jacqueline tart was incredible)! Great coffee as well and a very relaxed vibe. Will come again!

  • 5/5 AmberBlogsLife 3 years ago on Google
    De hazelnootmelk is to die for!

  • 5/5 Thaïsa Van S. 4 years ago on Google
    The hazelnut latte is the best latte of Ghent. They make their own hazelnut and almond milk and they're delicious!!

  • 5/5 Tanveer H. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Aseel S. 5 years ago on Google
    Cosy place with tasty coffee ??

  • 4/5 Mees S. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice place for vegan breakfast or lunch. It would be great if they would have more glutenfree options though! Usage of oats and spelt makes it just not suitable. For vegans it great anyway, so my bf had a nice piece of cake. I am sure they can make amazing things, just a small twist to more glutenfree would be great! (;

  • 4/5 Qwimpy17 6 years ago on Google
    Beautiful and cosy place to have a hot or cold drink with some delicious no-guilt pastery!

  • 5/5 Lies De C. 3 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Didi de P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Super super tasty! Tasty cakes, friendly service. I had coconut yogurt with granola and fruit, my husband sandwiched egg salad. Both very tasty. (Original) Super super lekker! Lekkere taartjes, vriendelijke service. Ik had kokosyoghurt met granola en fruit, m'n man boterham eiersalade. Allebei heel lekker.

  • 4/5 Jolien Vanden D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Delicious! Nice to stay in a pleasant, nicely decorated environment & delicious breakfast! The granola is also top! Only minus: small, there can not be many people. (Original) Heerlijk! Leuk vertoeven in een aangename, mooi ingerichte omgeving & heerlijk ontbijt! Ook de granola is top! Enig minpuntje: klein, er kan niet veel volk zitten.

  • 5/5 Stephane D. 4 years ago on Google
    very sweet place, excellent cafe and sweet patisseries... nice music in background... and people who know there products.. You must go! 👍

  • 5/5 Clarck M. 4 years ago on Google
    A great cozy place to have a piece of cake or coffee, lovely guilt-free and absolutely delicious. The owners are very friendly and knowledgeable of all and any allergens in their menu items. There are fun events trough out the year and you can find madam bakster at many different events in and around Ghent. An absolute tip for vegans, people with food-intolerances and diabetics! Tip: during the 'gentse feesten' they have amazing milkshakes.

    At first I thought, great another hipster bakery with a weird menu. Turns out, everything was excellent, great food, great coffee and great service!

    (Translated by Google) Tasty latte with fresh almond milk. Tarts are also recommended. (Original) Lekkere latte met verse amandelmelk. Ook zijn taartjes een aanrader.

  • 1/5 Emmanuel W. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) We specially went to this place for the gluten-free offer. When ordering we were told that this is not possible. This is not correct. The cake itself was not special at all. (Original) Wij gingen speciaal naar deze plek voor het glutenvrij aanbod. Bij het bestellen kregen we te horen dat dit niet mogelijk is. Dit is niet correct. De taart op zich was ook helemaal niet speciaal.

    Best granola and matcha latte in my life, so far♥️ Lovely atmosphere and everything is gluten free and vegan and no sugar, so for me this place is perfect! You can taste that everything made with love 💕

  • 5/5 pris d. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Every Wednesday this was our regular appointment with my international class and this is something that I will hold on my own! The drinks are very tasty, the pastries to dream away and all this guilt-free. In addition, the barristas are very friendly and helpful to all of my "and what's in it again?" answer questions. Oh, and if I have to start talking about their home-made almond and hazelnut milk, I'll be able to write a whole page. (Original) Iedere woensdag was dit onze vaste afspraak met mijn internationale klas en dit is iets dat ik in mijn eentje zal vasthouden! De drankjes zijn enorm lekker, de gebakjes om bij weg te dromen en dit allemaal nog eens guilt-free. Daarnaast zijn de barrista's nog eens enorm vriendelijk en behulpzaam om al mijn "en wat zit er hier ookal weer in?" vragen te beantwoorden. Oh, en als ik moet beginnen over hun huisgemaakte amandel- en hazelnootmelk, zal ik nog een hele pagina kunnen schrijven.

👍👍 As I said to the boss again today: I am glad that you have started the original concept again: no cutlery, no plate, only a croque in a wicker basket, a basket for the potato wedges and a nice fresh drink. And you tell the customer that he can always get cutlery and a plate. I approve. The croques...
