Croqino's is not a real coffee bar, but a little casual restaurant with good coffee. The first time I've been here was last summer. The whole arvo you can sit outside on the footpath terrace enjoying the afternoon sun. Maybe not the best view (you look at the back of the FNAC-shop outer wall), but the amount of people on bikes passing by give you enough entertainment. That means a quiet place to enjoy nicely served drinks.
The whole range of different coffee's is available, plus even a few specials such as, special latté, panna montana, ice coffee etc...
And last week I ordered a latté and that comes in double glass cup, so you don't burn your fingers.
For every season you can get the right drink.
Lieve went for a cappuccino and that one was tasty enough to decide to stay for lunch.
We tried the local speciality, the Croqino, a personal created kinda toasted sandwich.
A traditional homemade and handy croque (croque = flemish word for toast, in fact it is a french word, but that would bring us too far).
Homemade, yep they are! They even got a big "C" baked in the toast, handy too as they are made in a way nothing can fall out from between the two bread slices.
Smart thinking.
Fillings enough, from triple cheese, bacon & eggs, Caesar, Pepperoni, taboulé and so on.
Really worth a try, not only for the Croqino's but also for the coffees. Can't wait for a warm sunny day to get another affogato.
And by the way, very friendly service! They even say goodbye when you leave!
