Natural and locally-sourced ingredients, respect for the seasons and family recipes inspired by British culinary traditions… After their café Feliks in Lier, thirty-somethings Jesse Nassel and Giovanni Smet opened a cake shop in the Eilandje neighborhood in late 2022. Your mouth will start watering as you contemplate the window display, before giving into the temptation of their buttery French croissants (they even sell puff pastry), cinnamon rolls, Danish pudding infused with chamomile and topped with raspberries, moist spiced carrot cake with cream cheese frosting, frangipane cake or the delicious sausage bread (made with pork and beef from a local farm and a secret seasoning mix). // Kiko Zushi

The hidden gem: The exceptional hummingbird cake made with a mixture of toasted pecans, banana and pineapple (€5-6 a slice).
