De Waterskikloon

De Waterskikloon is a laid-back café nestled along the canal in Olen, offering a relaxed spot to pause whether you’re just passing through or settling in for a quiet moment. Its waterside location gives the place a calm vibe, especially pleasant on sunny days when the terrace fills with locals unwinding with a drink and enjoying the view.

The café feels naturally tied to its semi-industrial surroundings, but this contrast adds to its charm rather than detracts. Visitors often stop here during road trips, finding an inviting coffee break in the morning or a casual spot to meet friends. The espresso machine pulls a solid cappuccino, and the Baileys coffee is a popular choice if you want something a bit more indulgent. Pastries are fresh, complementing both coffee and the casual beer selection that’s refreshingly cold on warm days.

Inside, the atmosphere is cozy without fuss, with friendly service and a mix of regulars and travelers creating an easygoing buzz. The terrace is well cared for and ideal when weather permits — perfect for lingering over a snack or casual drink by the canal. It's a place that fits neatly into the rhythm of the neighborhood, offering a simple yet satisfying stop for a quiet moment, conversation, or light refreshment.

Best times to visit are mornings for a strong coffee before hitting the road or afternoons when the terrace invites a relaxed pace. Those who appreciate genuine local spots with a relaxed waterside setting will likely enjoy De Waterskikloon’s unpretentious atmosphere and practical location.
