Cafématic is all about great breakfast and good coffee, but you'll find us there for one reason, and one reason only: their insanely delicious homemade banana bread. And we're not the only ones! 

For your tea fix in Antwerp, head to Mattheus-B, a charming tea shop that sells a wide assortment of loose tea leaves (over 300 kinds!). They are experts in coffee too, and we can hardly leave its store without investing in one of their lovely porcelain tea pots.

This multi-brand boutique delivers bold statements in light, colour and atmosphere and is located next to sister shop Princess. Sweeping lines and a monochrome décor provide a striking backdrop for designer collections from across the globe (The Attico, Jacques, Acne Studios, Taller Mario, Zimmerman and more). 

Most know Antwerp for high-end shopping, but you might not know about some of the more authentic hidden gems. For those who have a keen eye, we recommend stopping by Rosier 41 to peruse their curated collection of incredible vintage and chic contemporary pieces.
