    At this point I’ve had many thousands of coffees in my life. Let me tell you, nothing comes close to the flat white I drank at Wide Awake. They served me the best cup I’ve ever had, putting the special in specialty. Everything from temperature to acidity. The barista is an artist and has truly mastered coffee.

    Great coffee place - amazing interior, attentive staff, beautiful crockery. They sell coffee machines, coffee beans and some appliance. Flat white was a bit bitter so a proper cappuccino for me would be good next time

    We had oat milk flat white and cow milk cappuccino and a vegan cookie. Paid 12.30. The cookie is not worth mentioning, but The coffee was sooo good!! And the small WS from barista very informative. We loved the visit! Not much space to sit in though. English spoken. No laptops allowed at the bar.

    A beautiful speciality coffee in Brussels. It has minimal decoration pleasant to the eye and a nice variety of coffee beans. Normal prices for drinking coffee in Brussels. The girl was very pleasant, helpful and knew her job. The only suggestion i would make is to put 2-3 small tables for better pleasure.

    I drank a lot of coffee, and usually, I am not truly amazed by some. But coffee from THIS coffee shop was a heaven in my mouth. I fell in love with their Duchess - Espresso. I was in Brussel only one day but came three times to have it :D I really recommend it!

    One of the best coffees in my life. And the place is the most spacious specialty Cafe I have ever seen. It would fit 20 seats, but there are only like 6 right in front of the counter, to facilitate the conversation. Which obviously happens in ALL languages, as the cafe attracts a very very international crowd

    Great specialty coffee shop! Modern place with an amazing coffee variety! The man behind the bar was friendly, happy. The prices are normal - not expensive. There are several pour over options - try the Kenya on Aeropress on your visit! I am extremely satisfied with my visit!

    Amazing place of you are a true coffee lover. Great guy working here, explaining absolutely everything about the coffee they make and processes of getting the coffee, checking on how you like it, brining freshly ground coffee for you to smell it before he prepares it! It is a whole experience and could not recommend it more! Great atmosphere and lovely interior also.

    2022.05.05 The recommendation to visit the specialty coffee was from SnaptureThis Canada. Nice Specialty Cafe. The hot Americano was strong and excellent. They have a variety of coffee beans. We sat outside on the bench to enjoy the coffee. The barrista was very friendly.

    I'm always looking for the best coffee roasters when I move to a new country. This is by far the roaster that has impressed me the most. Their single origins are complex but yet simple enough for everyone to appreciate. Their roasts really work to bring out the flavor. The bags are fairly priced for the quality which I cannot say of most specialty roasters in Belgium. Their quality is consistent as well so I have no fear of paying and not getting what I want. Would 100% recommend,

    Made a detour from Brussels Midi especially to try their filter coffee(Juicebox beans). Really enjoyed it! Bought those beans to make aeropress at home. It was also nice to have a chat with friendly barista

    Amazing coffee, I got the americano and it was quite good and my friend got a cortado which was nice. The interior is really nice too., I would definitely recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Emily R. 1 year ago on Google
    Best flat white I have ever had! I worked as a barista for 2 years at a specialty coffee shop in my city but this coffee was the best I have tasted. (Including ones I have made myself). Machine must be dialled to perfection and the milk high quality. So pleased we stopped at wide awake in Brussels!

  • 5/5 Fouad B. 2 years ago on Google
    Top place, top service. The guys know a lot about coffee. That's what we call passion !

  • 5/5 Daniel J. 2 years ago on Google
    Best coffees in town, those guys know what they do and what they talk about 👍

  • 5/5 Benjamin S. 2 years ago on Google
    Although I've never been to the shop (thanks Covid), I've been using their coffee for a few weeks, and it's great. Strawberry Fields is my current daily driver (V60) and their Safari Moon makes for a good cappuccino/latte. Highly recommended !

  • 5/5 Amirkhan B. 6 months ago on Google
    Wonderful experience. The barista made a wonderful black coffee of their special Ethiopian beans. It was really good. I would even say it's the best coffee I have tried in Brussels out of all I have tried so far. Not only that but I got to chat with other customers as well. I was lucky to catch the shop in quite peace in the afternoon. The only downside is that it's a lil bit far away from the centre. Definitely recommended 😊

  • 5/5 Katinka M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great coffee, friendly service and not too crowded due to its location slightly out of the touristic center but (and again) most of all really great coffee!

  • 4/5 Nomaczar 7 months ago on Google
    Although I didn’t had the change to experience the Belgian Specialty Coffee Scene nor I’m aware about it. Wide Awake probably if I could guess is a top 5 of the best specialty coffee in Brussels 🇧🇪. Beans and Coffee make and serving is amazing. Staff is friendly and welcoming and helpful with coffee choices. Atmosphere and Design is modern with a bar table in the middle.

  • 5/5 Lucian A. 10 months ago on Google
    Very chill place. Good selection of coffee to buy. Had a good cortado as well. Will come back.

  • 5/5 Oren B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing coffee beans!! Especially recommend Strawberry Fields and Easy Rider. Wild Card is fantastic too, but more expensive.

  • 5/5 Chris M. 9 months ago on Google • 77 reviews
    The coffee was amazing. Does not have a lot of seating space, but the coffee provided here is very good. The person at the counter was also very friendly. I would really recommend this place to anyone who loves strong coffee. We tried the cortado, flat white and cappuccino. The place also sells coffee beans. A must visit.

    Always smiling and with good advice and knowledge about coffee and equipments (we took a kalita and a grinder)! good coffee to take away, and to take home and delicious random sweets!

  • 5/5 Małgorzata S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great coffee, nice, calm and cozy atmosphere in beautiful interior. The tea was also very nice and I like the food a lot as well. Got some coffee in beans to bring back home-veeeery good stuff.. never had a coffee tasting like this I guess. Also, the staff is super nice, helpful, open and they speak great English. One of my absolute fav coffee spots in Bxl. Thank you!!

    I'm a coffee-novice. They were friendly, informative & provided me with 5 samples of the best coffees I've had to date. Great aesthetics inside too.

  • 5/5 Maria A. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Brittney E. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve never been to the shop but I order their coffee via the subscription service and it’s excellent. The beans are fresh and so, so good. The customer service is friendly and responsive. Love this company!!

  • 5/5 Ahmed D. 1 year ago on Google
    If you’re looking for good coffee, this is as good as it gets. Not just the beans, but the baristas! Everyone is super friendly, cheerful and helpful. Much love to you all! 🫶🏻🫶🏻

  • 5/5 ben r. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic coffee, I tasted their duchess espresso and had a flat white, and it has to be one of the best I have ever had! And that's coming from a spoiled for great coffee Australian. Most likely the best coffee you will find in Belgium.

  • 5/5 Alejandro F. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing coffee shop. Let barista surprise you. I love all espresso . Very well made

  • 5/5 Traveling P. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ronen E. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice quite place with self roasted coffee beans. Serves espresso type drinks from two beans choice (dialed-in in advance) or various filter type coffee from the store variety. The coffee is made perfectly - good place for coffee lovers

  • 5/5 Daniel K. 1 year ago on Google
    Guaranteed screaming “Praise the lord this coffee is a blessing oooo yeeahhh!” Its that great, no joke. Consistently the best coffee in Brussels. I joke how they ruined getting coffee at other locations because it never compares to them. Its like that blue stuff from breaking bad, y’all know what im saying 😉 Talented young team with outrageously great coffee selection to enjoy taking away or brewing back home. Go here, now.

  • 5/5 Humaid B. 1 year ago on Google
