Take Five Espresso

I ordered a very simple chai latte, and the staff even asked where I was sitting, which made me think the service might actually be attentive. Turns out I waited nearly 20 minutes with nothing delivered. When I finally went back to the counter to ask, I was casually told it either hadn’t been made or was sent to the wrong table… quite an impressive mystery. They then made it on the spot after my reminder. The cookie fell onto the prep counter and was still placed on my tray, and the cup had cinnamon all over the handle with no napkin offered, perhaps that’s considered “presentation.” It was just a basic chai latte, taste ok but the whole experience was surprisingly eye-opening. Definitely not the kind of service I expected.

I had a very good tiramisu pie here. Quiet and calm place to sit upstairs. Very welcoming place for dogs, they brought a bowl of water for our dog. I was very embarrassed when our dog licked a piece of pie from other clients. We didn't have to pay for a replacement pie, the new piece of pie was on the house. They said: 'it can happen'. That was incredibly friendly.

I came here every morning while visiting Ghent and I loved it here, the staff are lovely, great coffee and the vibe is cosy. I highly recommend it.

One of my all time favourite cafes when I go travelling!! Has a great jazzy vibe, quality coffee and some baked goods! Think they serve lunch too but I did not get to try!! Check it out. You won't be disappointed!! Love how in Belgium your coffee typically comes with a piece of chocolate or biscuit!! 🥰🥰

Good ambiance and music throughout the shop. Plenty of seating. Very friendly waiters/waitresses. Good choices of non-dairy milk, no extra charge. The coffee is a more fruity and acidic roast, which is unfortunately not to my preference, however, it is one of the smoother fruity roasts and not too aggressively acidic.

Great find. The Cortado was perfect, service was friendly. Good selection of baked goods.

One of the good coffee places around the area. Quality coffee, barista knew what she was doing

A very beautify place to enjoy brunch either friends! The staff is very polite and friendly! All the pastries are very delicious and special! The café was very modern and designed! I recommend it without a doubt!!! You have to go!
