Gent şehir merkezinde denk geldiğimiz bu kafede eğlenceli ama bir o kadar da kalabalık bir gün geçirdik. Gittiğimiz gün şehirde özel bir etkinlik ya da kutlama vardı; bu yüzden sokaklar çok hareketliydi ve her yerden yüksek müzik sesleri geliyordu. Kafenin bulunduğu konum çok merkezi ve ulaşım açısından oldukça kolay. Sessiz bir ortam bekliyorsanız bu tarz günlerde uygun olmayabilir, ama şehir atmosferini yaşamak isteyenler için birebir. Kafenin iç tasarımı modern değil ama çok karakterli. Dekorasyonunda bolca kitap kullanılmış, kitaplarla oluşturulmuş raflar ve köşeler çok hoş bir detaydı. Ahşap masalar, sade ama sıcak bir atmosfer yaratmış. Kendine özgü bir tarzı var, bu yönüyle diğer zincir kafelerden kolayca ayrılıyor. Servis oldukça iyiydi; yoğunluk olmasına rağmen çalışanlar ilgili ve hızlıydı. Soğuk kahve sipariş ettim, tadı gayet güzeldi ama buzu biraz fazla konmuştu — yine de serinletici ve keyifliydi. Menüde çeşitli içecek ve tatlı seçenekleri de mevcut. Genel olarak farklı bir deneyimdi. Şehirdeki canlılıkla birleşince biraz gürültülü olsa da, ortamın enerjisi ve kafenin kendine has havası kesinlikle görülmeye değer. Gent’teyken uğrayabileceğiniz hoş bir durak

This coffee shop in Ghent has a really cool design, bookshelves and a cozy, creative vibe. We had some really good coffee there, and the space itself just makes you want to hang out and enjoy it slowly. Definitely worth a visit if you’re into good coffee and nice interiors.
