Funky place is the best way for me to describe it. They have a mish mash of tables and chairs to…read moresit at. It is an eclectic type of place that we found fun. There were reserved signs on some tables when no one was in there. It didn't seem like it got busy either so not sure who those were reserved for. They don't have a ton of food options here but I will say they have the beat pies I ate in Maastricht. Even better than the bakeries we visited. Whoever made them has hands of gold. Come relax and have a tea/coffee and pie here. Sooo good and inexpensive.

I had a really nice experience here, they have a roof terrace which is kind of hidden but lovely to…read moresit on. I did not have tea but they have a very large tea selection on their menu. I had a good cappuccino and the savory waffle with pulled chicken and dressing. The waffle was kind of cold and the seasoning of the pulled chicken was not the best but overall it was still good and a nice experience. Something you would not be able to eat at every restaurant. I would like to emphasize that it is quite cheap for what you get. I also tried some of their cookies and they taste amazing. So can highly recommend coming here for tea and cookies!

You know, Sint-Truiden is really starting to grow on me. When Australia Ice Cream closed their…read moredoors for the night on Sunday before we'd finished dinner next door, I was crushed that I wouldn't be able to get my ice cream fix. Luckily, Venise was wide open for business, and I sure am glad they were. Star 1: How was the service and atmosphere? Quick, friendly, conveniently located. Brilliant on all counts. The man behind the counter spoke flawless English (welcome to Belgium), and even helped us out in picking good flavor combos. Star Granted. Star 2: How were the portions relative to the cost? For €2.20 I pulled two decent sized scoops in a cone. Cheap? Not necessarily, but a good dessert under €3? Can't complain. Star Granted. Stars 3 and 4: How was the food? Was this the best ice cream I'd ever had in my life? No, and it wasn't near gelato-status, but this was good stuff. I opted for a scoop of white chocolate and a scoop of standard chocolate, and both were very good. The white chocolate even had little chunks of real chocolate in it, which was a nice treat indeed. Single Star Granted. Star 5: Would you eat here every day if you could? I wasn't planning on dishing out this star when I was enjoying my ice cream, but it really does appear to be hands down the best dessert location in the area, and for that reason, with their varied menu and comfortable setting, I could indeed come here daily. Star Granted.

I'm quite used to having high tea. As a matter of fact, whenever I can, I will organize meetings…read morewhere they serve high tea. This is by far the dumbest high tea I have ever seen. Lack of variation and you could be dead by the time you get served. So slooooooowwwwww.

While walking around the area in search of gifts for family, we stumbled upon this cozy and classy…read morelittle tea shop. The tea shop appears to be family owned and both the wife and husband were extremely kind and helpful. The wife helped us pick tea, speaking a little English, and was very encouraging towards our own attempts at French. In addition to buying tea to go, we also had a cup on the spot. The tea was great and the environment was warm and relaxing, with jazz music playing in the background. Lastly, the store has a nice selection of different Belgian sweets (chocolate, cookies, etc.) from other businesses if tea is, well, not your cup of tea. Overall, this tea house is an amazing gem nestled in a rather busy and occasionally touristy area that should not be missed.
