They place their tea in the cutest blue tea set. They use fresh mint leaves to brew their tea and add a fragrant mint tea bag. The tea is super fragrant and minty. It is a one man show. There is one man running the cash register, cleaning the tables, and making and brewing the coffee and tea. So the environment is super intimate and laid back. I highly recommend this coffee stop.

Cafe de la Maison du Peuple feels like every other Cafe we been at home. Coffee, Sandwich, Salad, patrons busy on their laptops..... my Yelp friend was yawning and ended up getting Cafe + Viennoiserie (3 EUR) as his breakfast and of course I needed my beer fix. Grisette Fruits des bois (2.50 EUR) was light and fruity, perfect for drinking during lunch time. There is no table service, so you do need to go to the bar area to order and pay, then the food will be delivered to your table. The vibe here at Cafe de la Maison du Peuple is laid back and youthful. I can stay here drink beers and yelp away the whole day just like the locals!

I opted for the ham and cheese quiche, which was pretty good. The coffee was also more than adequate. The facility is somewhat small but I thought the atmosphere provided a relatively nice place to enjoy my fare. The prices are not bad making it a decent deal. My coffee and quiche were €8.30, which was about $9 with the exchange rate at the time. I thought his was a good deal for a satisfying light meal.

Me and my wife were sitting in front of Sam's Cafe around 8PM when a group of thieves stole my bagpack. The lady at the counter of Sam's Cafe saw the whole event but didn't bother at all. While we sat at the coffee table, a person, probably from Black North African descent engaged us in a conversation (lasting 15 seconds). This person got our attention by speaking in a non existing language. As soon as he got our attention, the other person stole my bagpack (from my table. It was merely a difference of 5 seconds that i realized of what happened. I ran after this guy all the way out of the station but he disappeared in the dark area of the bus station. There is a surveillance camera on the roof in front of Sam's Cafe (which public cannot access and maybe is of no use, i doubt it works). All the footage should be in the surveillance camera. The police has the report but seems not very helpful, not to mention they told us that already 15 thefts have been registered for that day and chances of finding the person is 0.05% Be vigilant, buckle your bag-pack to yourself, don't engage in conversation and remember that you are your best defense.
