Good shaded terrace with a large very friendly staff. Try the vlammetjes: spice snacks.

Here is the most amazing experience: early morning I take a seat on the terrace. Owner walks up to me and says "you're too early but what would you like". I say I wanted a coffee and appelgebak, but I guess not, then. He says no worries I can do that, and brings me a terrrific cappuccino w apple pie ( w cream ). Wow I say best service ever, how much I owe you? He says you're my first customer so let's start the day nicely: my treat! Sir, I hope you see this message and review. Everyone should flock to Trympaan - your attitude, and hence service, is epic! Thanks again and wish you happiness and success!
