Under the watchful eye of St. Rombouts Cathedral, foom sits tucked along the street as a cosy spot for breakfast, lunch or a quick pastry fix. It’s the kind of place where you walk in for a relaxed bite and end up staying longer than planned. Their coffee comes from micro-roastery MOK and the tea from CRUSIO, which already says a lot about the care they put into what they serve.
The menu offers a mix of playful sweet dishes, including their well-known American pancakes, and satisfying savoury options such as hearty toasts, soups and daily specials.
Located on Sint-Katelijnestraat, just steps from the cathedral, Foom is an easy recommendation for anyone looking for a comforting breakfast, a relaxed lunch or simply a good cup of coffee in the centre of Mechelen.

Em’s star rating
I’ve been there for breakfast, but also for lunch, and the dishes are so delicious and fresh. A real hidden gem in Mechelen!
Fun fact
On Sundays, Foom switches to a special brunch menu where they serve a High Tea, a tiered platter of both sweet and savoury bites.
