We came on a Saturday morning and found a line out the door which is always a great sign! We tried a few different baked goods but our favorite was the chocolate croissant which was light, flaky and buttery with a great chocolate center. Loved this bakery and would highly recommend.

The ambience of this location really makes it special. I was really looking for a Hallmark movie themed experience and starting here was perfect. My waffle was scrumptious and a great start to the day. Highly recommend.

Lots of selections or build your own, what can go wrong with a good waffle and good toppings. Good place to get your taste of Belgian waffles, efficient service, comfortable seating both inside and out. It's in a really nice spot inside one of the glass passages, which are worth a visit just for their historical glory and beauty.

You know it's good if they're there. We didn't know what to get so we ordered a ham and cheese sandwich (only 4 euros), a baguette and a napoleon and everything was under $10. What a steal. Everyone was leaving with multiple baguettes and now we know why. It was crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Everything you dream about baguette to be. We were so happy we stopped by.

This location is at the center of a lot of the major tourist attractions and is therefore great if you're looking for a quick, on-the-go breakfast or lunch without having to sit down (though that is still an option). Panos is a chain bakery/sandwich shop and was recommended by one of the aunties. Stuff you can find here includes sandwiches, wraps, soups, sweet and savory pastries, individual loaves and rolls, salads, coffee, and hot chocolate. Super basic, but high-quality stuff compared to a lot of other chain bakery places we saw as we traveled through Europe. Some of those sweet pastries were just really fancy looking for what's supposed to apparently be a very basic place, while even the basic stuff tasted really delicious. Their croissants were also super delicious, and I thought the raspberry croissant was particularly interesting. This particular location is on the street branching just off Grote Markt (Grand Place) and just across from the Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert's southern entrance. It was near where we were supposed to meet up with our tour group, so we dropped by very quickly to grab some breakfast. My chief memory of that morning was that their waffle honestly made me feel better about the first half of the day.
