This is a market place where they do auctions on friday. They sell all kinds of crap, really…read moreeverything, even a cars. Everything they sell over here has been confiscated by debt collectors, so you'll have to live with the fact that you're using those misfortunates's stuff. A lot of stuff really is crap but if you're lucky and fast enough you can buy some real treasures over here. Afterwards go drink one in Café Atlas, great people, great ambiance! Another shitty review by the shitty guide of Antwerpen.

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.
