In the middle of the lively streets of Mechelen, Coffice offers something many of us secretly crave: a place where the busy world slows down for a moment. Part coffee bar, part creative workspace, and part meeting hub — this is where coffee, ideas and conversations naturally come together.
From the moment you walk in, you feel the relaxed rhythm of the place. Some people are enjoying breakfast, others are quietly working behind their laptops, while a few friends catch up over coffee and something sweet. It’s a space where everything seems to flow effortlessly.
The setting
Coffice has that slightly raw, urban character that makes it feel authentic rather than polished. Warm materials, open spaces and a casual atmosphere create a setting that invites you to stay a little longer than planned.
Large tables make it perfect for working, brainstorming or simply writing down new ideas while the world passes by outside. At the same time, the space never feels like a typical coworking office — it remains a welcoming café where everyone feels at home.
It’s the kind of place where you can sit down with a coffee, watch life pass by and let your thoughts wander for a while.
The taste
Coffee is clearly taken seriously here. Coffice works with OR Coffee, known for their high-quality beans and sustainable approach to coffee sourcing.
The coffee is prepared on a beautiful La Marzocco espresso machine, handled by skilled baristas who know exactly how to get the best out of every cup. Expect smooth espresso, creamy cappuccinos and perfectly balanced lattes — often finished with elegant latte art.
Pair that with something sweet or one of their fresh breakfast or lunch dishes, and the experience becomes even better. The menu follows the seasons and breakfast is served all day — so yes, ordering French toast at 3 PM is completely acceptable here.
The experience
Coffice manages to balance several worlds at once.
You can come here to:
slow down for a moment in a busy day
work quietly with a good coffee beside you
meet friends or colleagues
brainstorm new ideas
enjoy a relaxed breakfast or lunch
And everything is tied together by friendly, welcoming service. The staff creates a relaxed atmosphere that makes the place feel natural and unpretentious.
It’s one of those cafés where the coffee, the people and the setting simply fit together.

Final sip
Coffice is more than just a coffee bar. It’s a place where the rush of daily life fades into the background — replaced by good coffee, good energy and a bit of space for new ideas.
Whether you come to work, meet people or simply enjoy a quiet moment with something sweet, everything seems to fall into place here.
Definitely worth a visit when you're in Mechelen.
Let’s taste!
