Bidon Coffee&Bicycle

Rating: 4.2 / 5 (354 reviews)

Welcoming Atmosphere

Really nice place to enjoy your coffee. The vibes of the place itself and the area are really good. It is located in a nice spot along the water. The only thing that I didn’t understand is why they served some people and some others had to go to take themselves their order.

Highlights

• Cozy Environment: Lovely coffee shop for our Sunday visit to Ghent. Bidon is a very neat, cozy, and relaxing place where to stop and have a warm drink. We enjoyed coming here. The quality of the beverages was very good and the interior of the coffee shop looks very nice with seats of all types and big windows.
• Exceptional Service: In general very friendly staff and professional service! Atmosphere is quite nice and the sandwich and the pastries were delicious as well. The staff went above and beyond to rectify a mistake and provided excellent customer service.
• Unique Bicycle Theme: Absolutely love this place. The bike theme is very much present in a fun way. When sunny they put chairs and tables outside and you can enjoy your drinks in the sun next to the water. Staff has very little knowledge about the drinks they serve though, I asked two staff members what kind of beer one on the menu was and they both didn’t know. The cakes look nice and home made. I would come back here.
• Fantastic Coffee with a View: I love this place! The coffee is fantastic, the views amazing, and it has a relaxed vibe. A perfect spot to enjoy a warm beverage and take in the surroundings.
