For you to get inspired this summer: a top 10 of brunch places, tested and approved by our THoMers.

#1: Boentje Café

📍 Place Collignon 18, 1030 Schaerbeek 

#zerowaste #sustainibility #local #green  

This coffee house started in 2018 with a big challenge: become the first zero waste coffee house in Brussels. The result: homemade delicious breakfasts, lunches and brunches in a cozy environment. All products are local and from European origin, with the objective of reducing the carbon footprint and amount of waste.

What else? The team created the place with recycled materials – you will not find two glasses that are the same – and inspire the zero waste mindset by proposing takeaway meals in returnable glass and organizing workshops to pursue zero waste at home.
