    Friendly staff, warm atmosphere and very family friendly. This coffee shop has a great feel and some of the best cookies around Brussels. I will be surely going back!

    Friendly local cafe, lovely inside & out with great coffee - just wish they had good vegan food/sweet options. Can get quite loud with kids having fun!

    Stunning coffee, really lovely flat whites. However, you may not realise this cafe basically turns into a daycare centre for kids and can get very noisy. As long as you're prepared for that, you'll have a lovely coffee

    Something really needed in the area! Good idea for sure, a very nice cafe, with excellent craft beers and good snacks. Playground, books, newspapers, you can find all here and I am positive all these will have a great success around. Still a brand new place, but seems popular already, as it is quite frequented.

    beautiful little cafe hidden in Brussels! smoothies and coffees are your generous and super fresh! the place is open to children with a beautiful play area! I think it can be a great place to work! the decoration is also very colorful!🌞🌞 ( fun facts : you can charge your phone on a tiny machine)

    Their coffee wasn’t what I expected from a specialty coffee shop. The owner was moody and unnecessary grumpy towards me which I found kind of awkward if I am being honest. And most of all, there is an inside playground for children so all the toys are all over the shop and since the place is pretty small it becomes very very loud, the kids laughing, crying , running or doing other kid things, and the parents loudly screaming at them from the other end of the shop. Maybe it’s because I went on the weekend but oh God, I am definitely not going back. Thank you very much.

    Best place to come along with your kids! 👌🏻Even when it’s crowded, somehow you find a place ☺️ very friendly staff and super great prices for the offer both for food and coffee. One of the rare gems in Brussels and I truly hope it stays like that 🙏🏻💙

  • 4/5 Yves-Francois S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place in the area of Forest in Brussels South to have a coffee. Some good handmade cookies or natural juices. With or without kids. Nice kids area in the concept. WiFi connection

  • 5/5 Luca M. 1 year ago on Google
    High quality hot drinks and area for kids designed for independent play

  • 4/5 Zad S. 1 year ago on Google
    Love their cookies, sandwiches and coffee. Kids have a place to play. It can get busy and loud.

  • 5/5 Joel E. 2 years ago on Google
    Best coffee in Brussels. Staff is super friendly, they also have stuff for kids to play. Would go everyday if I lived here. Loved it

  • 4/5 Julia R. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely café with great coffee and affordable prices. The playground for the kids is really great, although it could be cleaned a little more frequently. The couch in the upstairs kids' area is pretty gross.

  • 5/5 Marielle P. 2 years ago on Google
    Very friendly coffee bar with great selection of drinks and snacks, also good for quick apéro. Child friendly. Nice terrace (weather permitting). Also part of the Kiekebich bread distribution network.

  • 2/5 Kevin S. 1 year ago on Google
    More like a McDonald's than a coffee shop, with a playground for children that is not separated from the seating area & without noise dampening features.

  • 3/5 Denise K. 2 years ago on Google
    Cosy family restaurant with lots of kids running around. Very attentive staff and great simple food.

  • 4/5 Olivier M. 1 year ago on Google
    Super friendly staff, good coffee. Great place to work or write, good wifi. Benches a little hard on the back and butt, and it can sometimes get a little noisy if there are kids but it makes the place alive.

  • 4/5 B. V. 2 years ago on Google
    Hip corner bar in one of Forest's rapidly gentrifying hot-spots featuring cool staff and a local 'bobo' crowd. Nice selection of bagels, lemonades and smoothies. Prices are on the steep side and expect the place to be packed on certain peak hours, but that's what you get when urban areas become more attractive. Good for parents with younger kids as there's a playground with slide on the upper floor.

    We moved to Belgium from Seattle and have been missing the coffee shops we are accustomed to. Rockets was absolutely fantastic. The service, the coffee, the atmosphere. Will come again!

  • 3/5 Fun W. 4 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    Great place with wifi and sockets, super helpful employees, great specialty coffees, delicious quiches and desserts. I do not recommend it on the weekend, when books, toys, and children shoes are all over the floor, the noise level is absurd, amd the parents stay for hours without supervising their children. As another review recently highlighted, this to the point of lack of safety.

👍👍 Perfect place for a relaxing moment and have a great coffee in the morning. Was waiting there to meet a friend and I had to wait a little longer and I did not get bored. It's right on the corner of the street and excellent location. Love to go back again when I get a chance.
