    Delicious cold brew and great croissants. Croissant I ate was a little soft but it was tasty. Staff were very friendly, helpful and they were always smiling. They also have a decent music playlist. I can’t comment on the prices as I am new to the city. Thank you so much!

    Noir has been a force to be reckoned with in Leuven for quite some time now. Early on the coffee scene they’ve comfortable settled down close to the often busy city centre. With ample indoor and outdoor seating and even a little secluded patio you’re bound to find a place to sit and work or chill. It’s the first time I visited with a baby and I was happy to discover they even have a changing table. Nothing I looked out for on earlier visits, but a nice discovery nonetheless.

    Best coffee in leuven! Their latte is fantastic, their beans give their latte an exceptional. The caramel cake is also very delicious. The staff is very friendly, and the vibes in the cafe is really different and I like it !

    An authentic cafe with a pleasant, cozy atmosphere. The coffee is very tasty and there is also a selection of pastries. Sofas and the dim light invite you to relax. Many people come here to work, even if the light is not really conducive to that, but because of the other convincing arguments, I will definitely come back!

    Cozy coffee place with good coffee. In our experience, service was a bit slow but that may be due to the fact that the place was packed. We will have to come back to try the baked goods and maybe service would be better then!

    Good coffee! The owner calls the roasting of the beans his 'play-time'. Very nice too see and hear the passion someone has for their products. 👍

  • 5/5 Hade W. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice to be here again and see the same friendly faces. Delicious, powerful coffee! (Original) Fijn om hier nog eens te zijn en dezelfde vriendelijke gezichten te zien. Heerlijke, krachtige koffie!

  • 5/5 Heleen R. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice coffee and very nice, relaxed ambiance. The music is pleasant and is also on a pleasant (read: especially not too loud) volume. You pay nothing extra for oat milk instead of regular milk in your coffee, which I also think is a plus. Good place to unfold your laptop, study or work, or simply enjoy a first-class bag of coffee! (Original) Erg lekkere koffie en heel fijne, relaxte ambiance. De muziek is prettig en staat ook op een prettig (lees: vooral niet te hard) volume. Voor havermelk ipv gewone melk in je koffie betaal je niets extra, wat ik ook een pluspunt vind. Goede plek om je laptop uit te klappen, te studeren of te werken, of gewoon van een eersteklas tas koffie te genieten!

    I love this place! If you want to work on your computer or study or read,, this is the place to be. Chances are, people inside are also doing the same thing. And if you just want to enjoy an iced coffee or iced tea while enjoying the sun, with or without friends, then you should come too and sit on the terrace. :)

    The guy behind the bar was annoyed (more like angry, he couldn't keep his calm) with me when he saw that I had an empty bottle of aquarius, which I bought and drank on my 15min walk-break and didnt consume within the bar. My friend and I had spent a nice couple of hours studying and ordering coffees. It was such a shame to come away from the coffee shop feeling ridiculed and disappointed with the service after many years of being a customer. Overall, the coffee is really good but I am disapointed that I wont feel welcome here again.

    (Translated by Google) Nice place for good coffee. Casual atmosphere, friendly staff. Certainly a place to stop and drink coffee. (Original) Leuke plek voor goede koffie. Ongedwongen sfeer, vriendelijk personeel. Zeker een plek om even te stoppen en koffie te drinken.

    Lovely ambience and service. The coffee had good flavour and cute foam art as well! The velvet cake was rich and decadent, but the frosting was a bit too sweet for my liking.

    Very nice and cozy coffee place! Besides the comfortable inside place they have a couple of benches outdoors where you can join your coffee and the sun.

  • 5/5 Maritina L. 4 months ago on Google • 50 reviews
    Great coffee, great place to study/work or just socialize. The staff is very friendly! You should try it out!

  • 4/5 Khanh Hang D. 3 months ago on Google • 19 reviews New
    Great place to hang out with friends! The wifi barely works every time I come here (same for cellular data).

  • 5/5 Deniz E. 4 months ago on Google • 15 reviews
    One of the best coffee in Leuven... Their desserts are always sooo delicious! My favorites are cinnamon rolls and crumble. It's almost always crowded, might get a little noisy too. There are tables that you can sit and study and there are also "no laptop" tables that people who wanna enjoy their coffee can sit and chat. It's KU Leuven students' favorite cafe I'd say!

  • 5/5 Elizabeth B. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely coffee bar with fresh cakes and friendly service

  • 5/5 Yajnaseni D. 4 years ago on Google
    Perfect place to get some work done. The hot chocolate is incredibly good.

  • 5/5 James D. 2 years ago on Google

    one of the best coffee shops in Leuven. Great coffee, nice cakes, lovely atmosphere both for meeting friends and working.

  • 4/5 Tobias Kaatz (. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee, friendly staff. Bit weird restrooms, though

  • 3/5 Suetying T. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice outdoor seating. The coffee and cake taste alright, they have also other pastries like cookie, tart, slices bread etc. I would like to try the cinnamon roll but they don’t have on that day, probably come again next time

  • 2/5 F S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good Cappuccino. I think they us soy milk: no go no. 1 (-1 ⭐) The Barista was typing for about 3 Minutes on his mobil before he felt like taking our order: no go no. 2, even when you are young, trendy and nurdy looking (-2 ⭐)

  • 4/5 Lily V. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm writing this review with mixed feelings. After several visits, I can safely say that the coffee is great. The cakes are lovely. The baristas are friendly. There's wifi, power sockets and complimentary water -- all things that you'd be looking for in a place to have a drink while working. Unfortunately, the owner makes me feel unwelcome, and this is something I only picked up over time because things seemed fine at first. I don't know what I did wrong -- I try to order something at least once an hour, I think I'm friendly and polite, I try not to overstay -- but for whatever reason, as legitimate as it may be, the owner doesn't give me the time of day. He rarely acknowledges my greeting when I enter or leave. He actively avoids eye contact when serving my coffee. When he does look at me, his smile definitely seems forced. He more often than not gets my order wrong in small, subtle ways or he keeps me waiting ten, fifteen minutes while serving several customers that came in after I did. The fact that I also overheard him complain about other customers a couple of times only made me wonder what he might have to say about me behind my back. All in all, not a welcoming experience. Again, the other baristas are absolutely lovely and it's a great place to work or study, but these small incidents are enough cause for me to no longer frequent Noir, which is a shame, because I really loved the place. I hope you guys out there have a better experience. Kris, if you're reading this, I don't know what I did to get on your bad side. Perhaps sometimes people just don't click. At any rate, I wish you and your business the best. Noir has a lot to offer the city of Leuven. Best of luck.

    it's a great place to sit and focus on your work! super kind staff, delicious drinks

  • 5/5 Natalia N. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, excellent coffee and nice people. Great place to find peace, recharge batteries, work or just meet friends. I drank an Obama coffee, like the ex President🙂 "strong but with a soft heart"💪🏾🖤

  • 5/5 D V. 1 year ago on Google
    Good quality coffee in a atypical atmosphere. They created their own environment with a cosy feel and good place to meet others.

  • 5/5 Molly G. 1 year ago on Google
    the best place in leuven to study, hands down. wonderful staff and very very cozy atmosphere. one of the few places you can find not one but several couches to chill on at a coffeeshop (rare!!). i will say the coffee isn't my favorite but the amazing vibes keep me coming back (and allll of the students in leuven too)

  • 5/5 Stan 1 year ago on Google
    My go-to place in Leuven when I need some cozy time and good coffee all year long, also to study or chat with a friend. Always friendly, even if we are with laptops and sometimes only ordering one cup a day. Bravo guys, keep doing your work.

  • 5/5 Carver B. 1 year ago on Google
    Great vibe and service. Wonderful drinks too! 10/10 would recommend 🔥

  • 4/5 Kevin B. 1 year ago on Google
    Cozy little coffeebar with many different tables and seats giving a bit of a cozy cluttery recycled interior vibe. The coffee and service are fine, the prices are reasonable. Would be a very nice place to work at if not for the fairly intruding music that can be hard to filter out in order to concentrate.

  • 3/5 Zuzka L. 1 year ago on Google
    Ordered an oat hot chocolate. It arrived with a chunk of chocolate at the bottom but the milk was not warm enough for it to dissolve properly. Sickly sweet. The apple pie I had with it was nice, so was the service.

  • 4/5 Jishnu J. 1 year ago on Google
    Cozy coffee place. Has got a particular old charm to it. The old wooden roof and the old stairs to the washrooms takes you back in time. Also, like olden times, the WiFi isn't particularly reliable towards the other end of the cafe. A very good cafe nevertheless.

  • 5/5 Koen V. 1 year ago on Google
    An ever changing selection of interesting roasts, well-made in any way you prefer your coffee. Ballsy interior, power outlets at most tables, always bustling with students, coworkers and coffee lovers alike. A mainstay in Leuven’s specialty scene, with good reason!

  • 5/5 Pieter S. 9 months ago on Google
    The current best coffee bar of Leuven, which says a lot given the competition! The latte art is top notch with the barristas partaking in competitions and the staff is incredibly friendly. Lots of room to sit and work, study or just have a chat!

    Amazing coffee, friendly staff and good location. Of course because of that most of the times might be busy, but it's very worth it.

  • 5/5 Andreas Van P. 4 years ago on Google
    Awesome crew and super good coffee!!

  • 4/5 Ellen V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nicely decorated, quiet atmosphere. The coffee is certainly tasty here, but you also pay for it (although this is no more than at another coffee bar). You can request a kind of 10-turn card at the cash desk, with which you get a drink for free. I also find it a nice place to work with some friends on a group work (there are some sockets for your laptop). Also try the Red velvet cake! (Original) Heel gezellig ingericht, rustige sfeer. De koffie is hier zeker lekker, alleen betaal je er ook wel voor (al is dit niet meer dan bij een andere koffiebar). Je kan een soort 10-beurten kaart vragen aan de kassa, waarmee je een drankje gratis krijgt. Ik vind het ook een leuke plek om met enkele vrienden aan een groepswerk te werken (er zijn enkele stopcontacten voor je laptop). Probeer zeker ook de Red-velvet cake!

    (Translated by Google) Super cozy coffee bar with a weekly espresso and coffee. Also a custom summer card & board games (if not corona I think) (Original) Super gezellige koffiebar met een wekelijkse espresso en koffie. Ook een aangepaste zomerkaart & gezelschapspelletjes (wanneer het geen corona is denk ik)

  • 4/5 Marco G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Rustic furnishings. But very good coffee! Mainly visited by students. Service friendly and remember all orders, but sometimes no longer know who ordered what. When it is full you wait about 10-15 minutes for your coffee. (Original) Rustikal eingerichtet. Aber sehr guter Kaffee! Hauptsächlich von Studenten besucht. Bedienung freundlich und merken sich alle Bestellungen, wissen dann aber manchmal nicht mehr wer was bestellt hat. Wenn es voll ist wartet man etwa 10-15 min auf seinen Kaffee.

👍👍 If you need that chocolate fix this is a splendid place to be. The chocolate lava cake is a must have to try it but beware of the bowl they serve it right out from the oven so it is hot, super hot like the cake itself hahaha…and of course they serve their brownies with every of their hot beverages....
