't Stad leest Antwerp – Books and scones!
Hello there,
This bookstore has many amazing books - the most recent and popular international ones but, at the same time, regional ones as well. The whole building is beautiful, and going through the shop gives you a very nice vibe. :)) It also sells maps, postcards and EP's. So for sure worth it if you like buying souvenirs. But the biggest reason why I added this bookstore as a spot is because of its cafe. It is located next to the store, and when it is quite full you must pass the books to do both!
The cafe is so special to me because it sells scones. I had never had them in my life until I discovered them here, and I loved them! They have a good range and variety, from sweet to salty, with many tasty toppings. Until today, I do not know of any place that serves them in Antwerp and even in neighbouring cities like Ghent. They are really worth a try if you haven't tasted them yet!
There’s so much more to discover

Het Bos – Artistic house in the heart of the city
"Het Bos" is one of my favorite bars in Antwerp because there is probably no spot as versatile as this one. It's a place for artists, makers & musicians.

Domestic – Pastries on a different level
The pastries are homemade and have that extra edge, like, for example, extra egg yolk on top of the chocolate bread that makes it that much more yummier.
