A new 'American' coffee house has opened in Bruge. It's kind of a Studs thing, as back in 1999, Joe, who is Belgian, met an American named Oline, from Bakersfield California in Bruge. She loved Bruge so much she gave up the California weather to move to Belgium.She evidently liked Joe a bit too, as they are now married and have a 20 month old son named Tristan.
Oline opened "Bean around the World" last Saturday, she wanted to give the Bruges people a taste of a real American coffee house.
They are trying to spoil their customers as best they can. There are free newspapers available (Flemish and American), free WiFi, and a computer available if you don't have your laptop with.
So if you are taking your visitors on the obligatory trip to Bruges for sightseeing, you might want to stop in, say hello, check your email, and get some local information about this wonderful Belgian city.
Bean around the World is located at Genthof 5, in Bruge , close to Jan van Eyckplein and is open 7 days a week. They have a group on facebook through which all the news on the coffee house can be checked out. Phone: 050 70 35 72
