Chez Martha
You'll be welcomed with open arms at the charming Chez Martha, just a stone's throw from place Flagey. This patisserie makes it its mission to work as locally, ethically and sustainably as possible. Try their wide range of cookies. From the classics to the spiced cookie, vegan options or even the cookie of the moment, you'll be spoilt for choice. Follow your gut!
Mad Lab
In this culinary laboratory, opened by a former geologist, you'll find organic biscuits made from spent grain, a by-product of beer brewing. This not only allows the business to be part of the circular economy, but also to offer healthier savoury biscuits that are full of minerals and fibre and lower in carbohydrates. All packaged in a compostable bag in line with the creators' environmental and zero-waste approach.

Maison Dandoy
Founded in 1829, Maison Dandoy, is an institution. It has successfully retained its traditions and offers a wide range of specialities: speculoos, marzipan, pain à la grecque (a typical Brussels speciality) and gingerbread – it's impossible to choose! The brand has numerous shops in Brussels, but its shop on Rue au Beurre is the oldest (1858), so much so that Baudelaire was said to have been a regular customer during his stay in 1860.
Generous
In this artisan Brussels workshop, you'll find organic, gluten-free little treats packed with distinct flavours: authentic Belgian favourites like the famous speculoos, but also shortbread, cookies, petit beurre biscuits, granola, etc. At Generous, they've chosen to avoid refined sugar and wheat in favour of ingredients such as tapioca, buckwheat and potato starch. A different approach that cooks up delicious results!
