Royal brews & roasted charm – Bouche Coffee (Brussels)

Bouche Coffee

Rue de Namur 4, 1000 Brussels

Tucked just behind the Royal Palace, Bouche Coffee feels like a secret worth keeping – a specialty coffee bar where tradition meets taste, and every cup carries a hint of nostalgia. Named after the owner’s grandmother, this sleek little spot is brewing up more than just great coffee – it’s crafting moments.

The setting

Minimalist yet inviting, the clean interior keeps the focus where it should be: on the coffee. It’s not the kind of place you camp out with your laptop – and that’s part of the charm. Bouche invites you to slow down, sip, and savour.

The taste

Bouche serves beans from Wide Awake Coffee, one of Brussels’ most refined roasters. For those seeking something rare, their ‘freezer candy’ stash offers exclusive specials like the sought-after Geisha from Manhattan Coffee Roasters – globally scarce, locally poured.

The experience

With both an espresso bar and a brew bar, Bouche caters to every coffee mood. The staff are passionate and precise, and you can taste the care in every cup. Whether you’re a casual sipper or a die-hard enthusiast, you’ll find something to love here.
