The cup

A small independent cafe in Saint-Gilles opened in 2019 by Clara and Elias after a period living in Japan; the pared-back room reflects that influence. Coffee is sourced from Kolonel, a Belgian organic roaster, alongside organic pastries, Belgian beer and hot chocolate on a menu that suits a long sit as much as a quick stop.
