Eating Around with Em

Crate by Release Antwerp

Crate Coffeebar sits right inside the lively Release Antwerp hub, and you feel that energy the moment you walk in. It’s not just a place for coffee, it’s where movement, wellness and everyday city life come together under one roof. People pop in before a workout for a coffee or a smooth matcha, gym bags slung over their shoulders, ready to start the day. Others settle in afterwards, cooling down with a protein shake and catching up with friends.

The menu keeps things fresh and straightforward. Alongside well-made coffee, you’ll find flaky pastries, bowls of fresh fruit and lighter lunch options like salads, wraps and sandwiches that actually leave you feeling good rather than sluggish. It’s simple, honest food that fits the setting perfectly.

Em’s star rating

I frequently stop by after a workout and order a protein shake or an iced latte. It’s the sort of place that makes you want to build it into your weekly routine.

Fun fact

Crate isn’t a standalone café, it’s fully integrated into Release Antwerp, meaning you can move from a training session straight to your coffee without even stepping outside.
