Java - Zaventem

Really good Espresso There is also origin coffee of the day you can try as filter coffee. Best place to be when waiting for friends and family at Brussels Airport.

Nice strong coffee…to wake you up from a short overnight flight from US east coast.

I have been a regular client at Java Coffee Bar at Hogeschool Gent for the last 4 years and I always had great experiences there. I'm sorry to say, but this Java Coffee Bar is nothing like them. It was a quiet afternoon. There were 2 people at work who didn't seem interested in their work at all. They kept chatting with each other even though I was waiting at the counter to order. I asked for a latte to drink there and it almost seemed to much to do. They prepared mine in a paper cup although I said specifically that it was not to take away. When I asked to have my latte in a normal coffee cup, it (again) felt like I was asking too much. The few people who were sitting in the place had all paper cups. In my opinion, the staff does this to not have more work because it's easier to throw a cup away then to wash one. When I eventually sat down, it was filthy everywhere. There was just no clean table I could find. It's a shame that such a nice place with great coffee can be so damaged by the people who work there.

Be careful. Not fresh coffee. There is a big jar of already made coffee liquids behind the bar. In busy time, the bartenders use it instead of making coffee from the machine. I asked them, but they lied about it. One star for such poor taste of coffee.

Just ordered a hot chocolat and got hot milk. They're so cheap with their chocolat powder ! you only taste milk, could have bought 3 liters at that price! Run away...
