Em’s star rating

During our lunch break, we decided to take a look at Barkboy, located in Brussels’ Royal Quarter. We enjoyed an iced latte with oat milk (in a can!). Not only is it something completely different from the normal takeaway cups you find in every coffee shop, but it is also very practical. You don’t have to worry about your transport with your coffee. The can is sealed, and you open it when you want to enjoy your delicious iced coffee yourself.

Fun Fact

One of the coolest things you can do is watch your iced coffee drinks being made and sealed on the spot in transparent cans, so you can take them away just like you would a soda, fresh, stylish, and totally unique to this coffee spot.
