Antwerp city guide

Small, pure and cute. That’s what I think about Kolonel Koffie.

Antwerp is a city with a booming business for trendy coffee bars. Some of them stand out. Not everybody has a talent for coffee-making, but the owner, Kobe, really knows how to make a good coffee. And he has put it in a nice little spot with cute furniture and great wallpaper.

I love his strong black shots of almost pure espresso and his soft slow-coffees with deep tastes of all kind of fruits and beans.

An advantage is that kolonel koffie is in the middle of the city center and in a quiet street, on a nice corner close to the river the Schelde. A little terrace makes it a great resting-spot for the tired legs.
