We both ordered a very tasty sandwich, mine was with chicken (forgot the name, Lola or something). After that we shared a plate of American pancakes with maple syrup, these were really to die for. Best pancakes I ever ate!! When we left, we took an ice coffee with hazelnut and latte macchiato to go, great way to end a perfect morning! Wonderful service, cosy decorated and great food. This will definitely be one of my new favorite places at "het eilandje". LOVED IT!!!

What a place! Hidden gem in the Zuid of Antwerpen!…read more Looking for a place to have a coffee and read a little bit so doing a quick search online, my couple and me found this place. From now on, it is in our to-go places list. While the coffee and the rest of the menu is not outstanding, what makes BuchBar different (and better) than the other coffee shops is its library: two big shelves full of books for you to take and read while enjoying your drink. If you want, you can even buy them!! Most of the books are pretty recent, while there are also ones for kids, classic reads and even graphic novels. Must say that even if 80% of them are in Dutch, for English readers as myself, there is enough options. Highly recommend to everyone! Stop by and read, yelpers!

Buchbar is really beautiful, clean, and feminine. Here you can find the perfect combination of…read morebooks and coffee. My husband and I visited Buchbar on a sunny day and enjoyed the terras by ourselves (why anyone would be sitting inside on a rare sunny day in Antwerp is beyond me). You have a beautiful view of the Volkstraat! The coffee menu is not very expansive - but you are able to find your classic coffee drinks. We ordered a flat white (latte/capuccino hybrid) and an Americano. Both were very good.

When you first walk into the shop you get the feeling of entering a thrift shop, here you can get a…read morecoffee. Which was delicious and done with great care. If you walk past the counter you enter the vinyl part of the store. At first you think it's neatly organized and well taken care of. The price stickers on the records will tell you that some records are way overpriced and some are good bargains. (You have to watch out for bootlegs in the store, so buyer's beware.) The quality is great overall. You have a splendid couple of hours digging until you go to the counter to pay for your selected records. Then the horror begins. He looks at the records and the prices. He takes them over to his computer and starts searching and comparing prices on Discogs and Ebay. For instance I had a couple of records with a price sticker of €18, which is a lot for a common second hand record in decent shape. Discogs prices were between 15 - 30. I checked this to know whether €18 was a good price for a VG+ record you know. He comes back to me and says I needed to pay 35 for that record and over €150 for the 4 records in total that I wanted to buy. Which he priced himself between 12 - 25 each before. I wanted to bargain with the guy, but no bargain available. I said that it was illegal to change your prices from your store in real time. He got furious took the records off the counter and told me to not come back unless I got rich. I was in complete shock. I had hard earned cash that I wanted to buy records with, yet he won't see me again. You can do this for yourself, but later that day I typed in "Coffee & Vinyl Discogs" on google to find his Discogs store. Oh man his prices are almost always the most expensive. He lost the plot, He's got an appetite for money full of greed and craving for cash. It's a shame. I really hope he turns around some day and looks at his vinyl to see music instead of dollar signs. Go for a coffee and you get caffeine Go for records and you will have a bad day.
