L'alchimiste - Brussels

Awesome little coffee shop for breakfast, coffee and brunch! Pancakes and toast was awesome with a real nice latte and smoothie!

We picked this place for the vegan brunch menu but we’re pretty disappointed by the number of things not available. The food was tasty enough but the service was mixed, overall wouldn’t recommend for eating. The coffee was good as was the breakfast bowl, if a little pricey for the size. However when we ordered the pancakes they let us know it would be a different type to those on the menu, they didn’t let us know almost every topping would be different too, so it was pretty different to what we expected, horribly sweet and not something we’d have chosen. By around 9:30 the croissants had all sold out too. A cool hang out for coffee and maybe another time we’d have had better luck eating.

Nice options on the map, too, smoothie and milkshakes. Pancakes and breakfast bowl are top. sandwiche of the day was with homemade meatloaf, to guess!

Firstly, thank you for being open on Mondays and Tuesdays when all other vegan restaurants are closed. Secondly, thank you for offering salty options in the morning! I really enjoyed the service and the cosy family atmosphere. The food was delicious and I recommend the cappuccino with the perfect milk-cafe balance

What a wonderful place for a nice lunch. 100% plant-related, the personal is very friendly and the place cozy and welcoming. they can also buy a selection of their coffee and reusable sauces. I could not go without the blue soy latte with blue spirulina (not only pretty, but also delicious) made and I went for the toast of the day: with smashed tofu, mushrooms, a real tasty bite. I especially liked the focus of the place on promoting reuse: they can take a coffee to go with their billie cup and they offer a discount when they bring their own cup. would come back to try their brunch.
