FELIX

Yesterday I went to visit my brother who lives near Brussels. What do two brothers do when they see each other not that much? They go eather for a coffee or go for something to eat. I must say we did both .... as usual. Time for Peter (my brother) to pick a place with good coffee. And I must say it didn't take long before we were heading for Tervuren.
The bar is situated in a pretty busy shopping street, but we were lucky and could park our car at fifty meter of the entrance. It is only after we've put two euros in the parking meter that we found out that they have a private parking next to the shop.
A friendly girl with a Dutch accent welcomed us and continuated in English (???).  We found a enjoyable place between the open fire and the glass wall, unfortunatly looking over the parking.

This is the part in the back with comfortable seats and also a long table where you can have your breakfast. Table big enough to keep working on your laptop while you eat something.
In the front are little tables and a higher table and chairs;
Variety enough to sit down and enjoy.

We ordered two cappuccino, they came with a nice kinda "De Strooper" biscuit. The coffee was delicious. Coincidence or not, but the house coffee-roaster is Vandekerckhove, based in Gent.  (Ghent)
The combination of the roast and the La Marzocco fb80 coffee machine reflects the pursuit of perfection, and expression of excellence.
Not only the coffee is a highlight, a tea lover can find a drink to suit him. Ten different tea species, Matcha tea and the popular fresh Ginger tea.
Choclate milk is freshly made with Callebaut choclate, smoothies, milk shakes are also on the menu.
Breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea is ready to be served every day.
     

Apart from all this delicacy, you can also admire the beautiful art that is on exhibit. All these art objects are of course for sale. I've seen some nice works of Lut Brackx, a 53 year old artist of Oostende.(Ostend)
Telling you that everything is for sale in this place is not really exaggerated, as even the furniture (tables, display cases etc...) are for sale.
Hopefully they don't sell the bar to soon!
In the past they also organized live jazz concerts, but I am not so sure if that is still the case.
