Brussels has a deep café tradition tied to its famous chocolateries and waffle houses, but a specialty coffee wave is transforming the city. The Dansaert and Saint-Gilles neighbourhoods are where Belgian baristas are proving that the country known for beer and chocolate can be equally serious about coffee.
