ANDY ROASTERS — Restaurant in Antwerp

Nestled at the corner of a bustling crossroads, Andy's is a vibrant gem that combines the art of coffee with an urban, lively atmosphere. The owners and baristas here have a clear passion for coffee, evident in their pursuit of high-quality beans and their in-house roasting, which gives their brews a distinctive and memorable flavor. Their dedication to the craft is impressive, and it’s a treat to enjoy coffee that’s made with so much care and expertise.

The vibe of the place leans slightly yuppie, with trendy patrons tapping away on laptops or engaging in animated discussions. However, the welcoming atmosphere ensures that everyone feels at home, whether you’re a coffee aficionado, a casual drinker, or just someone looking for a cozy spot to relax.

One of the highlights of my visits to Andy's is the music. The playlists curated by local DJ Manano elevate the experience to another level, creating an eclectic yet soothing background that complements the buzz of the busy crossroads outside. The mixes are always fresh and perfectly pitched for a coffee bar setting, making it a unique sensory experience.

The only downside is that it can get a bit crowded during peak hours, which is a testament to its popularity but something to keep in mind if you’re looking for a quieter spot.

House blend… I really enjoyed it. On par with the other one that I had in the old town...

Andy's is our go-to spot for buying coffee.

They have a great terrace, which lends itself to a quick coffee with a friend on a lazy Sunday. It's typically packed on sunny days, so you might not always secure a spot, but a short wait usually does the trick.

They also have a great selection of coffee that you can buy and take with you if you have a coffee maker at home, though most of their coffees are in the high-price segment.

In contrast to Caffeenation, for instance, they open early, which is a big plus if you want to have a coffee before work or buy some coffee when...
