This adorable cafe offers sandwiches, pastries, salads, and more. It even has a nice area to sit inside if you do not want to take away. I grabbed a salad from the grab and go section and it was not bad! I was very hungry and would come here again. The restrooms are even free. read more

Le Temps des Tartines - Grab and go salad - Cafes Near Me - Brussels, BRU

Items Ordered: Almond Croissant Chocolate Croissant Raisin Cream Pastry from Flanders Custard Éclair with Coffee frosting Pear Frangipane Tart Speculoos Cheesecake A small storefront with table, patio and takeout options at Zuidstraat 73 in Brussels, Le Temps des Tartines falls somewhere in the middle of the city's Boulangeries and Patisseries, a locals sort of place where the staff seems quick to become impatient with questions phrased in English while also charging extra on each item selected for indoor dining. No doubt an impassioned concept, over a dozen breads joining a wide range of pastries, tarts, choux and viennoiserie, it was to a small queue that diners were greeted early Monday morning as rain continued falling, the majority of patrons seemingly known by name to the two women behind the counter with quickfire service limiting time for decision making, an eventual order of a half dozen items boxed or bagged and taken to the patio where the small awning provided shelter from the storm and a privileged vantage to dine while the city streets came to life with those headed to the start of their workweek. Having already mentioned the substantial variety available at Le Temps des Tartines, any attempt to sample a wide breadth of the goods better suited for a group of four or more, first tastes of the Almond Croissant as well as the Pain au Chocolate showed each to be far lighter than average, the general lack of sugar welcomed as it allowed for subtlety to be noted though the lack of a crisp exterior was at the same time disappointing. Moving onward to heavier selections, the folded pastry from Flanders definitely worthwhile as soft lamination found itself wrapped around cream and raisins, those desiring a traditional Éclair will likely be disappointed as these frosted versions are sliced lengthwise with custard filling as opposed to light pastry cream, a Speculoos dusted Cheesecake equally unexpected as the base was so sour that it was actually displeasing while the Pear and Frangipane Tart was a far more satisfying experience with soft fruit well balanced by a base both smooth and sweet. read more

Absolutely delicious bakery. For only 5.50 euro we got a freshly baked pastry, freshly squeezed orange juice, and a tasty cappuccino. There is a wide variety of baked goods to choose from: croissants, berliner, fruit tarts, and other delicious-looking things! You can't go wrong with any of them. Would love to back and try them all! read more

Croissant and coffee for petit dejuner - what could be better? Fresh, buttery, with berry preserves on the tables! Here the problem with this place: not eating everything. The display case of baked goods is amazing. It takes much self control to bypass everything and pick out one thing you can be satisfied with. Can't wait to come back read more

We found this place on our way to the Grand Place from the train station. As we were passing by the smell of the pastries caught our noses. As we walk in, we see all the beautiful and delicious looking pastries. My sister ended up buying the raspberry tart, and it tasted so good! I would definitely recommend stopping there! read more

Came here twice on my visit to Brussels and both times had the Tomato, mozzarella, pesto, prosciutto sandwich. I loved it, it was so fresh and delicious I had to come back the second time. I also had a cappuccino which was good too. Recommend this place to a tourist looking for a fresh sandwich on a French style baguette--it's hard to find bread this good and fresh at home read more

We sat down to have a quick breakfast here. Nice friendly service. Pastries were just mediocre.. We had the pain chocolate, pain almonde, apple tart, and a sugar bun. Fresh OJ was good, but latte was weak. TIP: Check on different tables near you to look for different types of jam/spreads and sugars to put on your bread and coffee, as different tables have different choices. read more

Superb pastries and bakery items. Highly recommend! Especially nice that it's open early for those of us who are jet lagged.

One of my favorite places in Brussells! My family and I were just walking by and saw this place. It was so busy and of course as soon as we walked in, I saw the most amazing pastries and fresh sandwiches. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I'm really missing this place and want to back to Brussels because of this bakery shop! read more

This restaurant was recommend by our hotel because of its location and proximity to the Grand Place. My wife and I fell in love with this lovely breakfast/bakery due to its inviting and warm atmosphere. They offer great small/cheap breakfast which was the allure of this location. For 6 euros they offered a coffee (cappuccino, coffee, etc), fresh orange juice, and a pastry. This is a great breakfast to start your day of sight seeing. My wife and I returned back to this location several times on our 5 day trip of Brussels, we highly recommend this place to hungry tourist staying in the Grand Place section of Brussels! read more

Great bread selection in one of the few places around Brussels' center where you can actually have breakfast. Not a lot of choice in the breakfast menu, but the bread baskets are good and so is the coffee. read more

Great pastries cute place close to the downtown. I had a raspberries tart. I hope I can go back soon

Lovely little place to get a tasty breakfast in Brussels. If you get a breakfast pastry/bread basket, be sure to try the delicious sweet spreads that are right there on the tables. I saw different spreads on different tables, so I picked those up and tried. My favorite has to be the praliné spread. I even picked up a jar to bring home to the USA. read more

Excellent breakfast! The fresh orange juice and chocolate spread are worth the visit.

The highlight of the breakfast was some of the best mueslix I've ever tasted. Probably not the kind of praise you want for a bread establishment. The bread was just OK and the coffee was below average for Brussels. The staff was pleasant if not welcoming. There is a lot of traffic in there, and I suspect that is due to the fact that so few places are open early for breakfast in Brussels. If it's close and you're in need for a decent breakfast, by all means try this place, but if you have time I'd look for better options. read more
