Your experience at De Koele isn’t just about the ambiance; it’s about connecting with the community, too. Patrons like Arjan Cornet return frequently, relishing the chance to unwind with a beer after a long day. The presence of a pool table adds an element of fun, making it a perfect spot for both casual gatherings and friendly competitions. The positive feedback from customers such as the 'Mad Scientist,' who appreciates the excellent service and the charming simplicity of this small yet vibrant café, speaks volumes about the care the staff puts into their work.

And let’s not forget about the commendable leadership of Melanie, the young entrepreneur behind the café. As noted by Jordy Jantz, it's inspiring to see such dedication and passion radiate from someone so young, and it's this energy that really brings De Koele to life.

While it's worth mentioning that they might not stock every beer brand—like the popular Jupiler—it does not detract from the overall experience. Instead, the focus remains on creating a welcoming environment where every visit feels familiar.
