On the corner of Vennestraat and Tennislaan you might get carried away by the smell of freshly baked croissants. Before the crack of dawn, you can always find young baker Cedric Martens conjuring fresh bread and pastries onto the counter. The black steel façade, marble counter and subway tiles on the wall reveal that Koek en Brood is no ordinary bakery. This traditional shop specialises in sourdough bread, hand-rolled sweet buns and pastries that change with the seasons. You can also take a seat and enjoy something to eat and/or drink.
