Loveliest coffee shop-plant store in the Brussels city center. Of course I was so attracted to it…read morefrom the very first vision of the facade, the cute metallic tables and the promise of a mini jungle with smell of coffee inside. I entered and was a mini paradise for me. Very luscious greenery (now flowers, just plants), clean tables, and happy people chatting and having coffee (no laptops open yay!). I saw at the communal table taking selfies with the plants and just admiring everything, even the paintings on the walls (fantasizing that my own art is cuter and could be exposed there). I enjoy my own company a lot, but having more people around is always a reason to celebrate for me, and in this case came with Spanish accent. I asked the 2 girls that were looking for a table if they wanted to sit there with me. They happened to be from Murcia, Spain, visiting a guy one of them had met during Erasmus studies...20 years ago! Who will think coffee and plants unite people. Well, we spent the day together visiting the many buildings and cafes in Brussels. Call it serendipity!

One of the best teas I had at cafés (sencha) and a really tasty apple pie (with lots of apples)…read more Would totally come there again!

This store is located in the little strip mall known as Porte de Maisieres and is a few hundred…read moremeters from the NATO base, SHAPE. The store sells furnishings for the house. Upstairs you can find everything for a bedroom, including beds, wardrobes, chest of drawers. The upstairs also has lamps, light fixtures, curtain material... Downstairs is more interesting, at least to me. There are sofas and you can find some pretty reasonably priced. I'm always amazed about how much something to sit down on costs on average. Also there are loads of sofa cushions to choose from and also reasonably priced. You need candle holders? They have those. How about a gigantic Buddha for your living room? Got those too. Its a pretty decent place to shop with decent prices.

They have nice home decor if you're on a budget.read more

Wandering around the plaza, admiring all these beautiful Gothic buildings, my eyes got fixed into…read morethis beautiful Plant & Fruit stall with a showcase of fascinating array of blooming flowers in all brilliant colors right in the center of the Grand Place. Right next to it is an Art & Paintings Stall..featuring most of the buildings in the Square...... The common Red poppy is the national flower of Belgium and we had passed a whole field of it driving through. It is very attractive as an ornamental plant but also is believed to be a source of both drugs & food, like Poppy Seed for baking. They also have the Perewinkle, Pink with deep purple edges, Lilly of the Valley, Hyacinth, Belgian Mums and the Wild Strawberry. We have almost all of the fruits they have, I think we have more selections here in the US. I don't see them having the Lychees & Dragon Fruit and the Persimmons but their Apricots are sweeter & the color is like deep orange. The Lady Pink apple was also sweet and their champagne Grapes are so delicious. I couldn't help but buy some to munch later in the hotel. Also passed a lot of vineyards along the way. All of the establishment, houses, restaurants, hotels around have a variety of colorful flowering potted plants boxed hanging on all their windows and in their entrances. I take it as a sort of or symbol to welcome people in....probably....at least that was how I interpret it...and the feeling is good...
