Diego SartoriSeptember 8, 2013Amazing place with great brunch. Bread, juice + choose 4 items between eggs, potatoes, feta salad, chicken, sausages, salmon, champignons, tomatoes... And even macaron! Only€14, great value.

Klara BirchleyFebruary 25, 2014Best café I've been to in Brussels so far! Try the Maltesers latte and Croque Monsieur , both are just perfect !You definitely won't regret coming here ! Very easy to get to from Louise metro stop! 🎀Upvote3Downvote- S Marks The SpotsMarch 11, 2014Free wifi, good coffee, Starbucks-inspired beverages and cupcakes from Lilicup have made Cafe de la Presse an "it" cafe. A bit too during the weekend. The new branch in the Sablon is hopefully calmer. Read moreUpvote3Downvote
ChrisTine M.March 27, 20162nd time around. Less crowded but still a waiting line. There portions are getting tinier and tinier. For 3.10€ . That will be the last time 😕

Best value for money brunch in Brussels tested so far! 14€ for coffee, orange juice, unlimited croissants and the like, plus a choice of 4 dishes (e.g. eggs, sausages, bacon, salads, desserts). Enjoy!Upvote3Downvote
Michiel ClaesDecember 5, 2015Great coffee and hot chocolate! Lovely location and decoration. Nice to hangout with friends or to study with a cup of coffee. Staff is not so friendly.UpvoteDownvote- Belén JuanasOctober 9, 2014It's Brussels' Central Perk - wide selection of tea, coffee and sweets along with the daily newspapers. Comfy couches. A great place to be working, with friends or just having a break.UpvoteDownvote
Lovely place, lots of local hipsters among the visitors. Somehow it has NY TLV atmosphere. tasty coffee and snacks, reasonable prices and free wifi. everything is good except the toiletsUpvoteDownvote
Sebastian Gisbert-MadziarJanuary 8, 2016My favourite café in Brussels. An original selection of dessert coffees and an unrivalled cozy atmosphere. Home made cakes and desserts.UpvoteDownvote

great place! a lil'expensive but it'on loise so u had it comming... when surrounded by americans u really feel like u're there. when filled with hispters and posh ppl, u feel headache. great bagels!UpvoteDownvote- It's a great place to study or work during work days and there's free WiFi available. Gets a little crowded by the lunch time and at the end of the day (around 6-7 PM).Upvote2Downvote
Nicholas HallApril 21, 2015The place to be seen drinking coffee in Brussels, huge variety of speciality coffees and nice atmosphere!Upvote1Downvote
Magda K.September 16, 2012Amazing bagels, cakes & cupcakes. Sunday's brunch is an excellent choice too. Perfect place for meeting with friends or reading for school.Upvote1Downvote
Free wifi. Amazing place to chill out a sunday afternoon. Very good but quite expensive and crowded. Gets cold all the time as the door remains constantly open. Comfortable (but rare) seats.Upvote4Downvote
Bianca BuenoAugust 11, 2014Pretty good and tasty brunch, for a fair price. But be sure to book before going or you won't get a table on the day.UpvoteDownvote- it can be crowded, no airco so it can be stuffy. coffee is good, cakes are very good.Upvote1Downvote
Melissa HerreraJanuary 8, 2015Perfect place for a fast lunch. Pies and cakes look delicious. Furniture is to die for! Prices are okay.UpvoteDownvote
Good selection of breakfasts and brunches. It’s very popular at lunchtimes and serves food longer than the nearby cafes.UpvoteDownvote
Great place I have a lazy lunch or brunch. Only downside is too many people buy 1 drink and use the wifi for too long. Should limit to 30 mins for each purchaseUpvote4Downvote
Erik ZolcerDecember 30, 2016The coffee is great, so are the options for a quick lunch. Never too crowded, nice and cozy environment.UpvoteDownvote
One of the best coffee places in Brussels. On the expensive side, but quality comes at a price...UpvoteDownvote
Mariška RFebruary 17, 2014Great sunday brunch! Amazing home made cookies, cupcakes and cakes, freshly squeezed juices, bagels, coffee.Upvote1Downvote
Stephen 🥞🍱🍣🍛🍜🍘🍟🍔🥨🍰🥑June 5, 2016Nice place to hangout and go for brunch. Sadly the coffee isn't great, I think they use UHT milk like most places in Brussels so makes the coffee taste weird.Upvote1Downvote
Themis PapandreouOctober 5, 2015Very nice coffee and great muffins. A lot of students, free wifi, intellectual atmosphere. Nice place.UpvoteDownvote
The bagels are 6,70, so not cheap, but certainly worth it, because they're well filled and served with a lovely side salad and vegetable crisps!UpvoteDownvote
Stephan BralMarch 25, 2014It has a "New York-ish" atmosphere, and doesn't cease to be packed & popular. The coffee - however - is of below-par quality, and the food is just OK. Try it at least once & judge for yourself.Upvote1Downvote
Dennis SwennenAugust 13, 2014Decent coffee at a good price, comfy and spacious. No-nonsense and a lot of choice.UpvoteDownvote
Thijs NiksSeptember 22, 2014Great Sunday brunch, but make sure you reserve your place for one of the three shifts.UpvoteDownvote- Stephen 🥞🍱🍣🍛🍜🍘🍟🍔🥨🍰🥑August 23, 2015Brunch is good! Lots to choose from, yogurts to salads to pancakes!UpvoteDownvote
Martina O' ReganMarch 18, 2012Love the bagels, fresh juices and vanilla tea, while everyone else goes for the delicious buffet brekkie...UpvoteDownvote
Steven HuysegomsJanuary 30, 2011Very nice coffee, pie, cake and muffins. On a cold day, every time the door opens it gets cold inside, so I never felt comfortable.UpvoteDownvote- Great coffee choices, but counter cakes can be very very dry. I.e. carrot cake should be moist!UpvoteDownvote
PavelMarch 6, 2014The coffee was good but it is really loud there: both people talking and the music. Quite busy at lunch time!Upvote1Downvote

It's a great place to study or work during work days and there's free WiFi available. Very nice coffee.Upvote1Downvote
That's the second couple to give up waiting and walk out in twenty minutes!! The coffee and food are good but it is almost as if the business don't want to sell it to customers!?!Upvote1Downvote- Bianca BuenoFebruary 16, 2014If you want to try the brunch make sure to make a reservationUpvoteDownvote
