Getting good coffee in Brussels

• The highest-rated independent shops in Brussels tend to roast their own beans or buy from a named local roaster — ask the barista what is on the grinder.
• Morning rush is real everywhere. If you are working from a cafe in Brussels, the sweet spot is usually 9:30 to 11:30, after the commuter wave.
