Whenever I'm in Antwerp, I'm a regular customer at the Domestic, which I first discovered thanks to my airbnb host five years ago. Their fruit tarts are light and flavorful, a real treat with a weekend coffee (this is probably the only place where I don't feel guilty about indulging in pastries!). Their pistolets and bread are very good, too (esp. rye and wholegrain) - much better, in my opinion, than at Goossens, where everything tastes spelt. Super friendly service.

We fell in love with their challah, rye, bagels, and their pareve pastries (no milk, butter or cream) My husband (a party lover) said that they were the best pareve pastries that he ever had. We were visiting Antwerp and Kleinblatt's was our first stop when we got off the train. It was Friday morning and the bakery was fairly busy before Shabbos. Although there were lots of delicious breads from which to choose, my husband was here for the pastries. He ordered three and ate them all in the rain before we went sightseeing in the rest of the city. He devoured all of them in one sitting. Even if you don't keep kosher, it is worth visiting Kleinblatt's. There are lots of items from which to choose, all of which are tasty.
