    A little more on the expensive side if you’re looking for an easy meal but definitely delicious and beautifully served. It’s a nice and cosy restaurant which I would definitely recommend.

    Deserves 5 stars for sure. The kindness of staff, the beautiful garden and the balanced menu won me. I could choose between sweet and salty and the truth is that I couldn’t choose so I ordered all. Nice job.

    Love this place! Great coffee, but make sure to ask for sugar separately if you put sugar in your coffee (they are very helpful so don't worry and ask!) Very friendly staff and nice homemade lemonade and iced tea. Great for a hot summer day. I loved the white chocolate cake as well. It's a bit similar to cheesecake with white chocolate, biscoff crust and yummy red fuit I recommend sitting in the back garden if possible. It looks so nice and it has this quiet holiday feeling, it's amazing.

    I'm always in a rush to get to work in the morning, and it isn't easy to eat breakfast before I go. I often find myself grabbing something sugary, but STEK has changed my mornings. It's so easy to make and tastes delicious. I'm seriously thinking of buying this for the office. The best part is that it only takes a minute! Some people are hesitant to try a new fruit they have never heard of before, but I always encourage them to give it a go! This is the best banana crumble I have ever had and I cannot get enough of it. I've been looking for a slice of good quality bread, and I finally found it. STEK bread is so delicious, and the texture is perfect. It feels fresh and tastes better than I could have imagined. I would recommend this to anyone looking to start eating healthier and taking care of their bodies better.

    Great food for a very reasonable price! The summer terrace is super cozy and makes you feel like you're in the south of France instead of the city center. Staff is always very friendly too.

    I used to love this place. It's nice and hip, and the food used to be good as well. However, lately it seems that the quality has been going down the drain with not that much attention to detail, or even any efforts being put into improving it. Some months ago I went there with a friend and the food was considerably worse than it used to. They started offering less bread with their brunch, and the granola was weirdly tasteless. The iced coffee was absurdly sweet, most likely to mask the taste of something, as before it used to be delicious. Lately they introduced some new products, including American pancakes, which I have to say that they were an absolute disaster. I mean, you pay 12 euros for 4 pancakes, and they were clearly store bought (cheap quality as well), and microwaved before serving them. Also the stack of pancakes was cold on top and the bottom boiling hot (often a sign of microwaved stuff). I don't think I'll be going there again as it seems that they are just trying to cut on costs. However, for such a small place, they have an absurd amount of staff, which is good as you don't have to wait, but probably they should invest in improving the quality of the food instead. The service is good and the staff is really nice. Just a pity that the food isn't anymore. It was a quite bad experience, and it makes me sad as this is again another place in Ghent, that I will unfortunately not visit again.

    Comes for the (reasonably) good food, leave because one staff member (running the place?) is incredibly rude. Pity, because the rest of the staff was really nice but it ruins the vibe of the whole place.

    Recommended for a delicious breakfast. The interior is lovely and the staff is kind. Great value for money, as great care is put into preparation and presentation. We ended up paying 50€ for two stacks of pancakes, toast with scrambled eggs with mushrooms and salmon, and two coffees.

    Made a reservation 3 weeks in advance to get here on a Saturday at 11:00. The place was full and very tiny. Most of the people without reservation had to leave. We got seated immediately and had to wait a bit to order but after that food came very quickly. Both the banana crumble and toast bacon were delicious! 🤩Coffee was strong and the freshly squeezed orange juice had great taste. We paid 45€ total. Would love to be back and try their boards (combinations) next time! 👍🏻

    Visited for brunch and was informed that we only had a set time before they needed the table back, not a problem for us and we were planning on eating and heading off. The staff were really friendly and that's what has stuck with me since visiting. There is a great ambience in the cafe as well. The food is of a high quality and is presented well. It tasted fresh and was filling and flavoursome. I would recommend visiting here.

    Came here on a friday at around 14 and place was near empty, so i had some apprehension, but maybe belgians simply eat lunch early because the food was really good. I was debating between the burrata toast or the chicken toast, but with the help of the waitress i ended up getting the chicken toast, which was a really good choice. You get two pieces of bread, nicely filled and the portion was just right. I felt full but could in fact finish it. I later saw they had an outdoor seating area at the back, had I known I would have liked to be sat outside as the weather was good. It would have been nice if the waitress asked whether I would prefer to be seated outside or inside as she guided me to a seat. But I suppose those are bygones Really nice restaurant, i would recommend!

    Very cute place in Ghent. The food is from scratch and tasty. Four stars because it’s slightly overpriced for what it is.

  • 5/5 Luise 3 years ago on Google
    Perfect. Overall a perfect experience. Both the cafe itself as well as its little garden are really really cute. Lovely decorations and very cozy atmosphere. The staff was friendly, forthcoming and we were impressed by the speed of the service. They made sure we had everything we needed and managed to deal with the very full restaurant perfectly with only few members of staff. Our food (yogurt with granola and berry pancakes) were delicious and decently priced. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we can’t wait to go back.

    Lovely food, and I love the interior with all the plants. They have gluten free bread as well

  • 4/5 Delil A. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything ok but menuwise always try to include pancooked or at least hardcooked eggs. Otherwise it’s a bit boring. I mean I can’t lie, they have a nice decor. (If u ask urself which menu item that I am talking about, it’s the simple one with cheeses, ham, bread and chocolate and coffee. I think there was orange juice too, it was some time ago.) So please eggs in every dish and you have as ur regular customer.

    I ate here four times in 3 days for breakfast. The back patio with grapes hanging overhead sets a warm environment and the breakfast is delicious. The staff is quick and does everything with a smile. They handled all of my food allergies.

  • 5/5 Veronique de W. 1 year ago on Google
    Great staff, nice environment but a bit crowded around lunchtime. That's not hard to understand because the food is amazing. Super quick service, super fresh and crispy bread. I was looking around and I saw the most amazing dishes on the tables. Really recommend a visit!

  • 4/5 Francesco N. 1 year ago on Google
    food is nice but not stunningly tasty. Preparations contain quite a bit of excess onion. Excellent presentation in the plate, very instagrammable food and very nice atmosphere. They don't split the bill, which is a big minus for a lunch/breakfast place where typically one goes with colleagues or friends. Extremely overpriced: be prepared to pay up to 17 euros for a sandwich!

  • 1/5 Judith S. 3 years ago on Google
    Unbelievably inefficiently run place. I made a reservation 2 weeks prior, waited 10 min to get my table, waited another 30 min but no one came to get my order even though I was sitting right at the bar and it was clear I didn't have drinks or food. I left after 40 min super hungry. Seriously. Just put up a sign your business is full so you don't need to spend your time sushing people away and give the attention to people that are waiting to get food.
