Wonderful place! - Edit
I loved it here. Spent the morning working (note: you cannot have laptops here on weekends!) and had a couple of coffees and some food. All delicious.
Read moreIt's mostly stuff you've seen before (hummus toast, granola, acai bowl, banana bread...) but all just done really well. The atmosphere was bright and welcoming. I really liked it!

Had some a good breakfast here. The food was very good. The Milkshake could be a little bit more firm but the taste was good.

Quiet and friendly vibe - Edit
I always drop by L'Alchimiste when I'm on this side of Brussels. It's a quiet, chilled-out cafe with an all-day breakfast & lunch menu. The staff are friendly, it's OK to work there (if it's not busy!) and the food is good. The prices are also reasonable.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Nice vibe, Lots of vegan options
Cons: Short opening hours

A bit pricey for the food - Edit
The pancakes and the healthy bowl were nice, but a bit lacking for the price tag. The healthy bowl was 2 falafel, hummus and raw salad veg so felt insubstantial. It was a cute place though and has a very cute furry resident 🐶.

What a gem of a place - Edit
We ordered two lattes and they were excellent. Then we ordered two grilled cheese sandwiches and they were fantastic. We then shared a chocolate croissant and it was the best we ever tasted! All in a nice back drop of vinyl records playing and a sweet dog sleeping in his bed. I would try to check this place out if you are traveling around Brussels. Simply lovely.
Read morePros: Excellent food, Excellent ambiance , Excellent service
Cons: That we didn't order extra croissants

Delicious food, good music, nice staff and wifi/plugs everywhere! - Edit
I loved this cafe, it’s all vegan and their toasted banana bread with peanut butter was bomb. I also tried a pumpkin spice chai tea which was delicious. They have super good music, not too loud, and lots of plugs below the seats to charge your phone or laptop. Friendly staff :)

Grateful for the early opening hours! - Edit
We needed to grab an early weekday breakfast before jumping on a train, and we really prefer to visit fully vegan places on holiday so this left L’Alchemiste as our only option.
Read moreEasy to find, nice space and menu, friendly staff (owner?) and a surprise dog who seemed a little nervous!
Free self-service tap water (always appreciated) and tasty food.

My first meal in Belgium :) - Edit
I went to this place straight from the airport and it was totally worth it! The ambiance is nice, the staff are friendly, and the food was very clean and tasty. It also has a small thrift section every Saturday! I would definitely visit again before I leave Brussels😄

Lekkere pannenkoeken - Edit
Ik had voor mijn ontbijt de pannenkoeken besteld en deze waren erg lekker. Ze waren snel geserveerd. Het café zelf is erg rustig en heeft een fijne sfeer. Mensen zijn aan het werk of aan het kletsen.

Loved it here - Edit
Friendly place, we are so grateful to HC for helping us find places like this. Lovely salad bowl and mozzarella grilled toastie. Gave them a HC window sticker which they seemed delighted about and it was going up in the door as we left.

Cute cafe - Edit
Very cute cafe with good coffee. The cheese toastie and banana pancakes were tasty. They had the breakfast bowl crossed off the menu which was a shame.

Not sure (not bad but not amazing) - Edit
I had a vegan croissant it was a bit stale and had a slightly weird after taste ( tasted like it was meant to be buttery, but the taste was off).
Read moreIce coffee was 4 to rave about.
My partner got the vegan breakfast that had tofu scrabble (tasted very egg), tomatoes, and toast. He really enjoyed it (personal, I didn't like the really egg taste - personal preference)

Mixed feelings - Edit
Cosy nice place for a breakfast in Saint Gilles. Pancakes were very good, generous serving. Unfortunately the pancakes were the only positive thing. Not a particularly welcoming staff (it is on us that we did not see the sign of "no service table" but after 10 min they could have told us?). For a place without serving, the menu is overpriced. 9.50 euro for a sandwich with garlic sauces, two falafel and carrots it is overly expensive, even for Saint Gilles. My chai latte was not good.

Super tasty breakfast - Edit
The grilled cheese toast and the breakfast bowl with scrambled tofu were really good (just a bit too salty for us). The place is very cute and well located and the staff is nice.

Great Place - Edit
We really liked the location – the district is very cosy, it's located on the corner of a calm and steep road and has some tables outside. Also inside it's very cosy. They offer really good coffee and a wide range of sweet and salty food. We liked the bread they serve! Definitely recommendable!

Worth the effort - Edit
Friendly, relaxed little café with an adequate selection. Our meals were really tasty (cheese & spinach toastie, pancakes) and the coffee was good. Rolled out the door!

nice vegan food in the south of Brussels - Edit
good vegan cafe in a nice area of Brussels near the southern parks. I enjoyed the food, the grilled cheese was nice, but I found that it was slathered in oil - I am by no means against oil, but I don't think that my side salad should be swimming in it. the croissants, cakes and coffee were very nice! overall, a nice place to go for lunch if you are local to Brussels Midi/Zuidstation
