AKSUM Coffee, Brussels
The cup
A specialty coffee roaster installed inside the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, one of the oldest covered arcades in Europe, roasting its own East African and Ethiopian lots in small batches. AKSUM selects specialty-grade beans from Ethiopia and across East Africa and offers espresso, filter and Chemex at the counter; a second bar operates on Rue Américaine in Ixelles. The Galeries Royales setting is one of the most architecturally striking spots in central Brussels. Roasts its own coffee.
