Take Five Espresso

An amazing little gem with nice atmosphere! Coffee and sweets are excellent!! Walking around Ghent looking for a nice place to relax a bit and enjoy a good cup of coffee, we looked at a few places but decided to hang out here. This place has character. Cozy, great atmosphere, very nice music. Not a big selection of sweets but very tasty! Coffee is amazing. Good strong espresso for me, my wife had a filter Colombia and my daughter a hot chocolate and we all enjoyed!

A very beautify place to enjoy brunch either friends! The staff is very polite and friendly! All the pastries are very delicious and special! The café was very modern and designed! I recommend it without a doubt!!! You have to go!

We’ve been in Gent for the past 3 days and have stopped in here each afternoon for some delicious coffee. Counter service, staff speak English, although a very busy store there was always available seating upstairs or down after a short wait. Service is fairly speedy, noise levels are a little louder upstairs but chill and calm downstairs. Oat milk available for milked bevvies and V60 pour overs for the true coffee connoisseurs. There is a toilet under the stairs for customers, which is kept clean and loaded with tp & paper towels. Overall a great stop for some good coffee and also some fab cake options too. Also free wifi!

Never had a bad experience; I love this place—it’s a favourite in the city. Matcha is delicious, the dirty chai is good, as are all of the sweets—would highly recommend the lemon meringue (esp if you’re generally a fan of it), and the crumble. Have gotten drinks and sweets to go, have also stayed and enjoy. Would recommend overall. Only downside is that it can be quite noisy when busy.

Loved their lattes!! I don’t add sugar to my coffee, so bean have to be great quality and their beans were great. Recommend this spot for a great cup of latte.

One of my all time favourite cafes when I go travelling!! Has a great jazzy vibe, quality coffee and some baked goods! Think they serve lunch too but I did not get to try!! Check it out. You won't be disappointed!! Love how in Belgium your coffee typically comes with a piece of chocolate or biscuit!! 🥰🥰

We had a great iced vanilla matcha latte and an iced latte here to go. The milk was foamed and it was one of the best matcha lattes I've ever had in my life. Very nice. I also liked the atmosphere of this place.

Good ambiance and music throughout the shop. Plenty of seating. Very friendly waiters/waitresses. Good choices of non-dairy milk, no extra charge. The coffee is a more fruity and acidic roast, which is unfortunately not to my preference, however, it is one of the smoother fruity roasts and not too aggressively acidic.
