A counter top, a cushioned bench, studious calm in the laptop area upstairs, a patio out back for when the sun’s out… and a wide selection of international magazines (available for purchase). So basically, everything you need to laze the day away at Jackie, run by Kiliane Huyghebaert, who took over the old Parlor Coffee back in 2021. Take your pick of specialty coffee roasted by Mok (a yellow catuai from Brazil), Rush Rush (an Ethiopian shakisso) or Hola Coffee over in Madrid (a catigua from Costa Rica) in tasty blends. And prolong the pleasure with banana and amlou granola, or homemade cakes like cannelé, mini-kouglof, chocolate madeleines, a generous slice of peanut butter banana bread or ultra-moist cinnamon apple cake.

FEELING THIRSTY? Espresso (€3.50), batch brew (€3.30), frothy whipped matcha or chai latte (€4.80), homemade pink lemonade or homemade ginger apple fizz (€4.30), iced tea (earl grey with summer berries syrup, €4.30).

PRICE: Cakes €2.50 to €4, laptop deal €12.50 with two drinks.
