Ana Attento - Brussels

Used to be my favourite hangout but staff really changed my mind during last visit. They were just chatting amongst themselves not acknowledging or telling customers that they 'd be there soon, whilst a line was forming. Eventually the one the others called assistant manager took the till and just asked yes, what? The customer after me rolled her eyes at the attitude. Absolutely abysmal personnel on that particular day. Coffee is still Or, which is pretty decent, but my take away cappuccino has got to be the smallest size cappuccino I 've ever had. Anywhere. Ever. Basically the cuo size of what you 'd expect an espresso to be. Oh well. Plenty of alternatives in the city centre. I won 't be going back here.

Loved this small cozy place nicely tucked in a busy neighbourhood. The hot chocolate I ordered was sooooo gooood. Do visit if you like to have some nice coffee drinks.

The coffee is quite good, actually, and I 've been here a few times. The last time, however (and certainly the last in this particular one), I showed up about 15 minutes before closing. I ordered 2 single espresso based drinks, which was met with we 're closing in 15 minutes... . Okay. Very cool, but unrelated. Thankfully, the person at the counter made the holy sacrifice of pulling a double shot into two different cups during their work time... albeit with a long face. So... yeah. Sorry for the inconvenience, I guess. My constructive criticism: don 't make people feel unwelcome... if you want to close 15 minutes early, announce it.

This was the specialty coffee shop of my choice to visit my first time in Brussels in 2019. The coffee was great back then, very busy, and friendly staff, espresso was served on a little glass, cappuccino in a normal Acme. Unfortunately I visited last week to the surprise that all coffee is served exclusively on cardboard. On top of it, I don’t know if the cardboard cups are that bad quality or if they don’t rinse the paper filter to brew their coffee, but mine tasted like cardboard.

Coffee is really good. Cozy sitting arrangements. Service is a bit late but it could be due to the rush hours and staff shortage. Carrot cake and banana cake is recommended. Coffee recommendation: oraccino
