I had seen BOX SOCIAAL on Instagram and I instantly (pun intended) knew that I needed to eat there. Why? One reason – the stroopwafel waffles. That’s right, it’s like waffle inception. The thin Dutch stroopwafels inside a a giant Belgian waffle. You’ll have to […]

  Hi there and thanks for coming over to www.talkandspoon.com to check out the greatest brunch I’ve ever had! And I mean that in terms of variety, quantity AND quality! You might have seen SANSIBAR on the blog before. It’s another one of those places we keep coming […]

  Eating out for breakfast still isn’t a huge thing in Germany. You’re hard pressed to find a cafe that opens before 9am, which is tough when you’re suffering from jetlag and have been up since 5am. Maybe it’s just not part of the German […]
