    A very cute and secluded cafe. The staff are friendly and help you with your order, the atmosphere is amazing and so in tune with nature. You can spend quality time here while relaxing. One minor point is that there are a lot of kids sometimes, which make it quite noisy, but apart from that all in all an enjoyable experience. You can also buy desserts and ice cream there, and the free tap water is a nice and thoughtful addition.

    second time now i have been turned away within opening hours because „they are closed/closing“. people are sitting there with drinks or working but am not being served more than 15 min before closing time and just rudely snapped at. Person working there obviously has no idea how to serve customers in a nice way. re answer: i tried ordering at the bar, that‘s where i got turned away ;)

    I came here every day I stayed in Antwerp! It’s inside PAKT, a super hipster alley with all sorts of branding agencies and brunch spots and even a gym. The espresso drinks are great, quite a fruity house blend, and they have oat milk! I also had an Ethiopian coffee from a Chemex that had a nice body and really hyped me up for the day. You can sit outside, or inside on couches or at tables. There is free WiFi. I also had a rice bowl with kimchi that was quite nice. It’s pricey, but it was a huge serving. Very nice staff, everyone inside dresses really well.

    Absolute delight to be here. The staff is super friendly and is eager to help you with the coffee decisions. And the roasts that they have are amazing to start your day. Whether you’re willing to just chill or want to change the environment to work, don’t think twice. Coffee is great, environment is lively and the cinnamon pastry will sway you away from your gym goals.

    Pretty hipster and alternative place, and I like that. Latte was too milky to my taste. I am beginning to think that it's a matter of this city. The price, 3.9€ for one latte, it's a bit high in my opinion, given the quality of the product which was good but not outstanding. And you have to order at the bar, no table service.

    No bigger cups/mugs for coffee It's got nothing to do wit starbucks ... it's the glass that is served wit latte at C.nation n to pay 1 miserable glass of latte wit a cup of expresso for 8plus its day light robbery especially for the latte served it a tiny glass n that how C.nation makes their money 🤑 💸 thank god it's the 1st time for me n it wl be my last... I just luv to hv a proper cup given to me that i paid for to sit n enjoy my coffee not after 2 full sips of coffee n then coffee finished.. ps. I asked the counter svs girl if she had a bigger cup for coffee not a glass she said no ... so check wit ur counter service girls

    * Average-quality doppio. * Baristas are kind, but they rush you to have your coffee and leave asap. * Very loud music pushes people to shout to each other. Take away: don't go there if you intend to have a good coffee and minimally rest/relax afterwards.

    The coffee and place is great but unfortunately it has become a kindergarten; the place now is very noisy with children shouting and crying. The glass of cookies has become a risky spot also as children dig in there with dirty hands 😅. Was nice place while it kept its identity as coffee place.

    Nice coffee bar in the hipster PAKT area. Good coffee, although sour.

  • 4/5 SquinteyedSniper 4 months ago on Google • 113 reviews
    cosy place with good atmosphere and coffee (although subjectively on the sour side compared to similar prestige coffee shops, will try downgrading to a latte next time for a softer taste I guess :) concerning the barista, while good at the core job of making coffee and latte art, good looks are clearly not a testament of people skills (in this case customer friendliness), so there is room to grow there I’d say lee up the good work otherwise!

    Nice place and good coffee but I don’t recommend hot chocolate. Sometimes there can be so quiet but sometimes so noisy

  • 3/5 Emilia B. 3 weeks ago on Google • 14 reviews New
    I really like the coffee and their beans are super tasty but packaging of it, it’s pure disaster. Once you open, it’s difficult to close it, you cannot store coffee in it once it’s open cause it’s looses its taste. Big improvement point needed.

    I believe I have found the best coffee in Antwerpen. I am willing to fight anyone on this. Oat milk is available for a vegan option.

    Coffee and tranquility. This is a hip and trendy bare cement style coffee shop. Gives out on to a tree lined courtyard. Good coffee and nice staff.

  • 4/5 Valérie 3 months ago on Google • 13 reviews New
    Nice and charming place to have a warm drink and a nice pastry with. Just a pitty that in the weekend they open so late for a coffee place and that during the day in the weekend it is too crowded. Eventhough, still loving it!

  • 1/5 Betzabé T. 4 months ago on Google
    The coffee is excellent; however, that would never make a bad experience worth it. I went with my partner, who is learning Flemish. We are both not white. My partner ordered in Flemish, and it seems he messed up the numbers and said three coffees instead of two; then he realised it when we were paying (just seconds after because of the price) and told the woman it was two instead of three, and she got very upset. She made us pay for three coffees and then sent someone else to give us the coffee. We wanted to sit in; however, I was feeling very uncomfortable because the woman said *in English*, my partner's first language, to another woman on the site (apparently a friend), "people here attempting to speak flemish ha!" in a mocking way. My partner speaks plenty of languages; he always puts effort into learning the language of the place he is in. He has lived here for about ten months and can have general conversations. This is the first time he has had this treatment. Never again at this place; quite racist. We ended up with three coffees when we wanted two, of course, and couldn't even finish our own for not feeling welcomed.

    Superb nice place with an excellent selection of coffee 👌🏻

    Hip coffee house inside a neighbourhood community. Bubbly staff, chill atmosphere. Good coffee.

  • 3/5 Robbie 10 months ago on Google
    Cool interior design and lovely staff. Big plus that they provide filter coffee and a refill at reduced price. Also the cinnamon buns are very nice, although very steep in price. One personal downside is that the coffee beans they use are on the sweeter side. Also, while their prices are quite normal for the area, it is objectively quite high compared to the average establishment.

  • 4/5 Yoff K. 11 months ago on Google
    Very yummy coffee they roast their own beans. Trendy little hidden neighborhood

  • 5/5 Gregor O. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best coffee spots in Antwerp with an awesome atmosphere. Free alternative milks and vegan cakes are available

  • 5/5 Gregoire 1 year ago on Google
    Probably one of the only places in Antwerp that sells half decent coffee. Drinking the cappuccino here made me feel like I was back in Italy. And the best thing, they're cheap too. Unbelievable.

  • 5/5 Sham R. 1 year ago on Google
    Coffee was superb! Service could be better. My order was given to someone else and ended up waiting over 15mins for my coffee. They need a better system of handing out orders. Atmosphere was chill!

  • 4/5 Florian 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing coffee, cozy place within a new area in Antwerp. Surrounded by interesting venues and a CrossFit in the middle of the old hospital renovated area. Would reccommend.

  • 5/5 Jessica L. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly barista and yummy pastries made right in the kitchen behind the counter. Comfortable seating too. A wonderful start to the day! Thank you (:

  • 5/5 Bob van der V. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Coffee in town. Their own selected and roasted coffee, a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Lovely for a relaxing sit down in the sun on the weekend with your favourite caffeinated drink.

  • 4/5 ecitah. c. 2 years ago on Google
    comfortable seat , warm environment .. you can get things done while your baby is watching out the window . I think their coffee is a bit expensive compared to other places, but it is one of the places I prefer

👍 Great atmosphere. Unique decoration. Lots of variety in drinks - I ordered Miss T Luice beer which they didn’t have, so I ordered another one, of course not a big problem.- We went there around 6 pm. The live jazz music was really amazing but too short - like 30 minutes from when we sat- which I wis...
