A huge quality drop since last time

I was very disappointed. The last time we were in Bruges, three years ago, we enjoyed the vegan waffle options at this place several times, and they were delicious. Today, the waffle was dry and hard, as if it hadn't been freshly made. I wouldn't recommend it. We told the waiter, who was honest about our disappointment and didn't charge us.

Vegan waffles in Brugge

They had such a good selection with waffles and pancakes that were vegan! Not a fully vegan cafe but still a lot of options. I went for the waffle with speculoos. So delicious and not very expensive. Nice staff as well.

Can do

Awesome that they have an entire page dedicated to vegan items. The pancake mix was empty so I was told I could either get a waffle or wait ~15 minutes, I waited and ended up receiving one after like maximum 10.

The pancake itself is good, a small snack, but the pistachio paste was a bit artificial. Too sweet. Maybe next time I'd get another filling or a waffle, but overall this place definitely deserves to be on here :))
Also don't be shy to ask for extra wishes... their menu includes way more vegan toppings/combinations than the green pages says😉

No vegan waffles

Visited on 6 Sept and the owner said the vegan waffles were no more… not sure if that meant just today or if that’s it. 😭

Vegan waffles & crepes in Bruges

I was surprised to see mixed/negative reviews on here. We had a a really fabulous experience! We got two crepes (pistachio and chocolate with mixed fruit) and two vegan hot chocolates.
We sat outside, our orders came fairly quickly. It is a little outside the main square, so it was a bit quieter. Would absolutely recommend this place when visiting Bruges😄

Pros: Labeled vegan options, Outdoor seating in quieter area of city

Nope

I was so happy that I could get vegan waffle and crepes and hot chocolate, but I was disappointed. The pistachio cream was so fake and the waffle dry, speculoos crepes and hot chocolate were nice. Though the stuff was clearly not passionate at all about the vegan options (literally said to my parents to get the non vegan one cause the vegan waffle is not as good), them having vegan option is only a matter of business (which is fair enough but the point here is that yet again vegan options in non vegan places are not as nice as they could be)

Not a great overall experience

The place is very cramped so not a lot of seating is available. There is some seating outside if you don’t mind the cold. Staff seemed a bit annoyed / unhappy, not a particularly friendly experience. They have a dedicated vegan waffle menu which is great but I felt the waffle itself was a little flat. A bit dry and underwhelming

Ok when you need a place to sit

We had a vegan waffle and a hot chocolate. Both was ok but the place felt a little uncomfortable. The staff seemed to be annoyed with guests and all in all no good vibes.

Pros: Nice vegan selection, Not crowded

Cons: Vibes, Interior

Underwhelming

I was happy to find a place that offers vegan waffles, but it was a disappointment when I arrived.
I didn't feel love and passion in the place, just a good business model in a touristy city like Bruges.
The interior was a bit old and messy, and for me the hygiene could have been better too.
They were throwing menus on the empty tables from far away which for me gave off bad vibes, like someone who didn't really wanted to be/work there.
The waffle was not great, but oke-ish and the coffee was good.
The staff was not rude, they just didn't seem to care. I prefer places where people show more love and passion for what they do or make. The overall experience for me wasn't good so I won't go back there and I wouldn't recommend it, which is sad for a place that offers vegan options. I would even call this place a tourist trap.

Pros: vegan options and clearly marked on the menu, Very good business model, in a touristy city , Good coffee

Cons: Service was not great, Staff/owners didn't seem to care much/weird energy, Messy/old/damaged interior.

Vegan waffles

Nice to find vegan waffles in Bruges though the dough was a bit dense and the topping (we had pistachio) too sweet. The staff was friendly.

Vegan waffle

As there was some uncertainty whether the toppings are vegan or not, I asked explicitly. They showed me the sauces, and they are vegan.
They make the waffles with almond milk.

The waffle was ok, a bit dense though, and the caramel sauce was definitely a sweet sugar overkill (would not order this again).
Nice selection of teas, I had a forrest fruit tea.

It is very remarkable though that this place gets so many fabulous reviews from brand new accounts, and some even with photos from behind the counter 😉

We thank you for visiting our chocolate bar . However, I would like to clarify that the chocolate bar is not exclusively for vegans ; we also serve non-vegans.

For vegans, we have a special section on the menu that includes everything vegan, and we do not offer any marshmallows to vegetarians .

We assure you that everything we serve to vegans is 100% vegan. As for the other products we offer to customers, you cannot object to them because they are not meant for you.
We apologize for not being able to serve you crepes, as they sometimes get sold out.
We apologize that the server being unfriendly with you ,we will work on resolving this issue .
Also I will attach the vegan menu.

Thank you

Your business is listed as vegetarian but should not be, that's the bottom line.

This place is strange

The staff was unfriendly and we felt like we were not welcome.
My waffle was extremly hot but okay. The one of my husband was raw. We get a new one, but they forgot the ordered topping on it.
