Two locations in Brussels

We have two cafés, each with its own character. Café de la Presse Cambre sits on the elegant Avenue Louise (493, 1050 Brussels), a short walk from the Bois de la Cambre and the boutiques of Ixelles. Café de la Presse Central is right in the heart of the city (41 Rue Cardinal Mercier, 1000 Brussels), steps from Brussels Central Station and the Bourse — perfect for a coffee before work or a weekend brunch downtown.

All-day brunch, made fresh

Our menu runs from breakfast to lunch, every day. Start your morning with fluffy pancakes, a generous granola or açaí bowl, or eggs your way with bread and butter. Hungry for something heartier? Try our bagels, croques, fresh salads and toasts — all prepared in-house with quality ingredients.

Specialty coffee & fresh juices

Coffee is at the heart of what we do. From a classic espresso to a creamy latte, we take our specialty coffee seriously. Prefer something cold? Our menu also features freshly pressed juices, smoothies and milkshakes to brighten any Brussels afternoon.

A place to meet, work and slow down

True to our name, Café de la Presse is a place to meet. Whether you are catching up with friends over brunch, working remotely with a flat white in hand, or simply taking a moment for yourself, you will find a warm, light-filled space and free Wi-Fi to make you feel at home.
