Hi guys
Going to Brugge in May with the family for 4 days
We're renting a house with a great looking kitchen, so the Zazz and some beans will come with me
Any suggestions for good coffee while we're there?
Any other suggestions for things to do? Chocolate, beer and frites are already high on the list, but specific ideas would be good.
Answers on a postcard please
regards
Slimboy...

Going to Brussels, by any chance? If so, find the "Place Jourdan" on the map and get thee to the best fries shop in the world (no kidding). It's "Chez Antoine" by the way (the round kiosk in the middle of the square), not the kebab thing.
Also on the place Jourdan is "Mamma Roma" where you will find a MEAN pizza. Dunno about the espresso.

This week I am eagerly anticipating the first god shots from my La Spaziale machine....

HMMM
Only one response and that's recommending I go somewhere else (thanks Raf, won't make it to Brussels this time, despite the thought of another trip to Marcolinis!)
Doesn't bode well

I suspect not many of us get to Brugge all that often. I've been there a number of times and it's a lovely place. I had a good double in a small shop that had a 1-2kg Probat in the corner and the coffee was excellent. Unfortunately, I have no idea where exactly it was or the name, so I'm no help. Let us know if you have any luck. 
Three Francesconi (CMA) espresso machines - Rossi, San Marco, LaCimbali, Faema and 2 Mazzer Major grinders- CoffeeTech Maggionlino, Hottop, Alpenröst and HW Precision roasters.
I decided I needed a bit of a change so I roasted some Monsooned Malabar. That was a change!

It's been ages since I've been in Brugge, I'm sorry. I suspect you'll get better answers from our American cousins at coffeegeek - USians love Brooouzj.

Hi Slimboyfat,
Sorry for the late reply, I've only recently joined TMC. I don't know how old your children are, but there is a bike hire outfit called Pink Elephant operating there who do guided bike tours around the city & its enirons. Really good.
The chocolate dipped strawberries are excellent, too.
