TASTY & QUICK COFFEE TO GO IN BRUSSELS — THE UNUSUAL CAFE
If you're looking for the best coffee to go in Brussels, you just found it. The Unusual sits on rue Montagne aux Herbes Potagères 49, Bruxelles — a two-minute walk from Brussels Central Station and a short stroll from Grand Place. We've been making takeaway coffee for people in a hurry since we opened, and we got pretty good at it.
Here's the thing about coffee to go in Brussels: most places either give you burnt espresso in a paper cup or charge you 6 euros for something drinkable. We do neither. Our coffee to go is made with specialty beans from Wide Awake Coffee and Urkunina, pulled fresh by baristas who actually care — and it starts at prices that won't make you wince. Same beans whether you sit or walk. No upcharge for takeaway.
People ask us all the time: "Where can I get a quick coffee to go near Brussels Central Station?" or "Is there a good takeaway coffee near Grand Place?" The answer is yes — right here. We're fast when you need us to be. Most coffee to go orders are ready in under three minutes. Espresso, cappuccino, flat white, latte, iced coffee — whatever you want, we'll have it in your hands before you check your phone again.
Our takeaway cups keep your drink hot (or cold) for a good while, so you can enjoy it on the tram, on a walking tour, or sitting on a bench at Mont des Arts. A lot of tour groups stop by rue Montagne aux Herbes Potagères on their way through the city centre, and we've become a regular pit stop for guides and travellers who want real coffee, not tourist-trap coffee.
WHY CHOOSE THE UNUSUAL
Grab a pain au chocolat or a croissant with your coffee to go — they're baked fresh every morning. Our vegan muffins and cookies travel well too. The whole order fits in one hand, so you can keep moving through Ilôt Sacré, Sainte-Catherine, De Brouckère or wherever Brussels takes you.
We're open every day, check our opening hours on Google Maps. Whether you're a local on a morning commute through les Marolles or a visitor squeezing in one more sight before your Eurostar — we'll get your coffee to go ready before you finish deciding what pastry to add.
Stop by The Unusual on rue Montagne aux Herbes Potagère. Good coffee to go, made fast, priced fair. That's it.
WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY
"I visited the unusual cafe to grab a coffee quickly as my tour bus was delayed. I was in a rush as I was told to get back to the bus stop in 10 mins ( likely rushed the cafe people too, very North American thing to do, I am sorry). But, as I grabbed my coffee I also ordered Pain au chocolat. And it was the best croissant I have ever had. So warm and delicious and fresh! Thank you for accommodating me with a smile on your face. :) Oh and the interiors of the cafe were extremely cute!"
