Carpe Diem Bakery & Tea-room

We had breakfast there, since it's open from early, something rare in Bruges. Super friendly staff, both the guy who served us at the table and the girls in the front are always with a smile and ready to help. Everything is fresh and smells great. Amazing atmosphere which makes you feel good and leave with a smile and a promise to come back again. Definitely recommended!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Carpe Diem in Brugge, and I must say, it’s become one of my favorite spots. Whenever I visited before, I usually opted for takeout, but this time, I decided to enjoy the charming interior and pleasant ambiance. The service was top-notch, and I couldn’t help but admire the thoughtfully designed space.

As a fan of their pastries, I couldn’t resist trying the Salmon Quiche, and it exceeded all expectations—it’s now the best Quiche I’ve ever had! The price-quality ratio is quite reasonable, and my friend’s breakfast menu was equally impressive and worth every penny.

Whether you’re a regular visitor or a first-timer, Carpe Diem offers a delightful experience that goes beyond just great food. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to savor delicious treats in a cozy atmosphere. Can’t wait for my next visit!

You might wait a bit, but it will be totally worth it. Delicious food, kind and smile service. You can have breakfast, lunch, or high-tea at this beautiful 17th century house. There is also a takeaway option. Also, many vegetarian food options

Great bakery with very tasty (and good looking) food. We tried Quiche Lorraine and another one with potatoes, bacon and blue cheese, both were delicious!

The place has great atmosphere, especially in the garden in the back, and the staff is very kind and friendly.

Amazing service, even though they were busy. Food was Top Chef quality. Excellent attention to detail.

Unbelievable! Went for breakfast and had no idea how excellent it would be. I am firmly a cooked breakfast man, but the continental on offer here might just convince me otherwise. So much class, such great service, perfect. Great bakery as well. Best meal in a 3 day Bruges stay.

An awesome place - delicious food, incredible cakes and the best quiche I have ever had (it's the polar opposite to the soggy bottomed, insipid quiches you typically get elsewhere!) Eat in the beautiful dining room, or grab a takeaway. Staff are awesome too!

Can't recommend this place enough! I went here every single day of my stay in Brugge. They have a good selection of food, and a wide variety of waffles and pancakes. Their drinks are great as well. The staff are lovely and very quick to attend you. The interiors make you feel like you are in an old mansion.

Is it possible to have a bakery and a tea place , so beautifully decorated ?

Well you have to visit your self to check !!!

Delicious food & stunning decor.
Service was a bit slow as it was very busy when we went, but that’s to be expected when they are a popular stop!

Beautiful little pastries with explosions of flavor, while eating our first pastry we already decided to come back the same afternoon.

The staff was great! A must visit hidden gem!

Cute tearoom with good selection of Swiss rolls. We had a good quiche here.

Just fabulous, was suitably impressed....perhaps too much chocolate and cream but who can ever really say that ;)

Delicious breakfast spot, and exquisite bakery. I highly recommend a visit

Really loved this little place we found by accident as it began to rain, the gentleman who served us was so helpful, and we had some truly beautiful waffles and a little cake with some coffee and hot chocolate.

Not overly expensive, we could pay in Sterling, and it was just a great little quiet spot. Would absolutely come again!

We were recommended this cafe on a P&O Cruises advert, and what a hidden gem it was! The staff were extremely accommodating and friendly, the waffles were fantastically light and fluffy and the coffee was great too. It was much larger inside than it looks and the decor was beautiful. Would highly recommend! (We ordered 2 coffees, and waffles with strawberries and chocolate sauce)

Top tier waffles. The sandwich was alright, interesting how it was self-assembled. Also, the portion was much larger than I thought it would be for the sandwich. The interior of the place is also very charming.

Waffles were light and flavorful. Tea room was quite busy.

It was a cafe in Bruges that friends back home in Australia recommended. I actually enjoyed it, so many flavours, mini pickled onions, gherkins, semi sundries tomato, fennel, cucumber, red onion, leaves, baby chilies, roasted capsicum, avocado and obligatory Dutch mayo on the side. Mine was particularly good as you can see , it had the bacon. The only thing it was too big and I had no room for the special Belgian waffle. The owner was super friendly, adept at German Spanish apart from the usual Dutch and French with customers. My wife had her coffee the way she liked, liquid cream on the side. Ceylon tea was done properly with boiling water added to the leaves before it got to the table..I know right.

On our first morning in Bruges we really struggled to find a place to eat a proper breakfast, it was on a Tuesday after the bank holiday so most cafes or tearooms opened at 11. We ended up eating a waffle which was simple but very tasty and fresh! So we decided to look for a nice cafe/tearoom for our final morning and we found Carpe Diem! Carpe Diem translates to ‘Seize the day’ and it was a lovely old tearoom with outdoor sitting which had a canopy that could be opened or closed! I had a croque madame with some yoghurt and strawberries and all was delicious! You could tell it was made fresh and with care! Staff were incredibly polite and kind even though we did break a glass..🙃
