The 17 best shopping and stores in Mechelen

Today I was once again helped by Ann who is hands-down the best person to shop with who I have ever met. She takes care, listens so well, has a great eye for detail and customizes her recommendations for clients. Lovely! I drive out of my way for her service. Bedankt Ann!

Ecofriendly and fair store. Clothes, make-up, personal hygiene, but also jewelry and little gifts. I personally like the nail polish and the ecofriendly alternatives for personal hygiene: reusable coton sticks, reusable cotton swabs but also for womens monthly visit there are multiple ecofriendly choices 😊

Great service and the go to place to find sustainable clothing from a decent quality. And they also take eco cheques 👌🏽

Eco-friendly clothes and other things. Very friendly staff who give advice if you want.

Great store, very friendly staff and they take eco-cheques.

Great shop. Only sustainable and faire trade clothes and other stuff

Super good quality and super friendly & helful personnel!!

We recently had the pleasure of dining at La Vigna, and it was an experience I’ll remember for a long time! From the moment we walked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and a cozy atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, offering great recommendations and making sure we felt comfortable throughout the meal. The food was absolutely outstanding. I started with the Carpaccio, which was fresh and bursting with flavor. For the main course, I had the small sole fish, and it was perfectly cooked — tender, juicy, and seasoned to perfection. The flavors blended so harmoniously, and each bite was more satisfying than the last. I also had to try the Crème brûlée, and it did not disappoint! Rich, creamy, and the perfect end to an unforgettable meal. What truly set this place apart, though, was the personal touch from the staff. They took the time to make sure every detail was just right, and you could really tell they cared about the dining experience. It’s not often you find a place where you can relax and feel like part of the family. If you’re looking for a spot that offers amazing food, impeccable service, and a welcoming vibe, I highly recommend LanVigna, I’ll definitely be back for another round of deliciousness soon!

We stopped here for a late lunch around 2 p.m., and the restaurant accommodated us even though they were supposed to be closed at that time. We are grateful for this, as we were extremely hungry. We enjoyed a four-course meal that was perfectly cooked and served. The restaurant owners were very friendly and pleasant, and both the dishes and their presentation were impeccable.

Everything was delicious, I'll definitely come back.

If you look for a nice place where to eat, I recommend to try this place. The restaurant itself is welcoming, clean and modern with some details reminding that feel of Italy. The staff is friendly, polite, multilingual and they were making sure that we enjoyed our meal. The dishes are well presented with an extremely good taste. For me, this is certainly the best italian restaurant in region of Antwerp.

Nice lunch. The Negroni was the largest I have ever seen. Had the veal filet and it was ok. Very good service

Great authentic Italian food, nice people, friendly service. We had a lovely experience.

Lovely food, wine and atmosphere. Very lovely lady front of house and her Italian husband the chef.

Gamma Mechelen seems to have more choices of items than Brico Mechelen. However, the garden section here is much smaller though. The wood prices in Gamma is comparatively lower. So yeah, I go to both shops to source different building and home deco materials.

This shop is cheaper and a lot smaller than Brico, but still more expensive than Gamma Netherlands. They have an acceptable variety of products, however they tend to have more the basic products and not big varieties.

Medium sized DIY store. Friendly staff. Usually enough parking space. Cheaper than others nearvy.

Good selection of hardware and goods. Helpfull staff, but sometimes they can be very busy.

Jens was very good at helping me in the paint department.

Good prices, good selection, and friendly staff.

Rude and unhelpful staff. In comparison with other Gamma’s, a filthy shop.

Wide variety of products to buy in bulk, lovely staff, great location! You can find a list on their website. Unlike most zero waste shops, they have a vast choice of spices too! They also provide all sorts of pots in case you forget your own packaging, or if you just want bigger jars to bring home. Avoid the roasted, salted cashew nuts, they are far too tasty.

Great shop with fresh produce and not expensive. Very nice store and friendly owners. It is also possible to stop by without your own packaging. You can reuse their old packaging if you are in need :) They have veggies, cheese, bread, olives, spreads, veggieburgers, pastas, rice, nuts, seeds, dried fruits etc Enough to make a full meal or very rich breakfast.

Very friendly service. Natural bio organic products. No packing, only bulk, so be sure to bring some packaging with you. Recommended! 👍

Do yourself a pleasure and shop packaging free. Verry friendly staff and easy going atmosphere. No hurry or stress needed during shopping. Love it! But don't forget to bring your own jars, bags, buckets, ...

Nice shop to enter. The good, cosy vibe of making aware choices and changing the world, combined with just heartwarming connection and very practical ecology. Take your time when you're there. Trash-free and hurry-free...

Shopping with a eco-conscious and plastic-free mind in the centre of Mechelen. Good offer on dry products such as nuts, seeds, beans, spices, ... also soaps and body-care products as well as fresh products such as veggies, cheeses, bread, cookies,... Just remember to pack some boxes and go see for yourself.

Very nice place with nice staff and I found there all the products I needed and more without packaging. You just have to bring your own bags and boxes. Easy peasy!

Great coffee and place, friendly and urban atmosphere. Accompanied by a lovely sweet doggo.

Good music, nice vibes, quality coffee and tea. Especially love how the chai oat latte wasn't overly sweetened like most places. Will visit again.

B&W speakers in da house - need I say more ? Also very friendly serivce and great coffee

One of the best coffee, great atmosphere.

I visited with my grandmother. Great coffee (and she's not into all that frilly coffee nonsense). I had a beer (Bloemekei IPA) which was nice and bitter too. The apple cake was nice, airy and tasty. Overall a lovely experience. Not five stars because it's a little bit too dark for my taste (but that's my personal feeling).

Cosy interior. But that's all for that place. The tea was in a dirty cup ("apple tea" was just a sugary powder which is kind of disappointing for that price). Service is unfriendly. Cappuccino wasn't hot enough and too small portions. The prices are above average.

Great take-away coffee! Price/Quality definitely deserves five stars! Located five minutes from the city center of Mechelen, I would recommend this place for the sake of good coffee.

Cosy store concept

Ok

(Translated by Google) Super nice store! I ordered a dress online via the website and it was so sweet that the saleswoman made every effort to ship it as quickly as possible so that I had it in time for a wedding. Beautiful dress🥰 (Original) Superleuke winkel! Ik heb een kleedje online besteld via de website en zo lief dat de verkoopster alle moeite heeft gedaan om het zo snel mogelijk te verzenden zodat ik het op tijd had voor een trouwfeest. Prachtig kleed🥰

(Translated by Google) Order placed online. Refund should normally be processed within 14 days. Still not OK after one month. Unfortunately this is not the first time... (Original) Bestelling geplaatst online. Terugbetaling zou normaal in orde moeten zijn binnen de 14 dagen. Na één maand nog steeds niet in orde. Dit is helaas niet de eerste keer...

(Translated by Google) Very nice store, very friendly service, new stock very often, lots of choice and yet clear. I always enjoy coming there. Tip: Due to the many steps in the store, it is not accessible for wheelchairs or strollers. With minor adjustments this could perhaps change in the future? ;-). (Original) Ontzettend leuke winkel, zeer vriendelijke bediening, zeer vaak nieuwe stock, veel keuze en toch overzichtelijk. Ik kom er steeds met veel plezier. Tip: Door de vele trapjes in de winkel is het niet toegankelijk voor rolstoelen of kinderwagens. Met kleine aanpassingen zou dit misschien kunnen veranderen in de toekomst? ;-).

(Translated by Google) Very nice multi-brand store. Prices are reasonable, wonderful team, nice selection. Such a place where the sun always shines. (Original) Heel fijne multibrand store. Prijzen zijn schappelijk, heerlijk team, mooie selectie. Zo een plek waar de zon altijd schijnt.

Super unfriendly and rude staff. Not opened during opening hours on 26/03. It is a shame

Not a big store but they have some kitchen stuff and clothes for good prices

Some unique pieces!

Small and limited offer

(Translated by Google) I bought a handbag there on April 8, 2023.10 euros I paid. The quality of this handbag was not good at all. After purchasing I saw that one of the accessories is attached with a transparent tape. This was not visible at all. After a month, the zipper stopped working. The bag is completely open for the thieves. After a month I can no longer use this handbag. It might be a lesson for me after all and I didn't like this experience at all. (Original) Ik heb een handtas gekocht daar op 8 april, 2023.10 euro betaalde ik. De kwaliteit van dit handtasje was helemaal niet goed. Na het aankopen zag ik dat een van de accessoir via een transparant tape wordt vastgeplakt. Dit was helemaal niet zichtbaar. Na een maand, werkte de zipper niet meer. De zak is helemaal open voor de dieven. Na een maand kan ik dit handtasje niet meer gebruiken. Het is misschien toch een les voor mij en ik vond dit ervaring helemaal niet leuk.

(Translated by Google) At 5:56 PM I was asked to leave the store because they were closing. I asked if I could look around until 6pm and said I would come back the next day if I wanted to try something on. The answer was "no". Rude staff (Original) Om 17:56 werd ik verzocht om de winkel te verlaten omdat ze dicht gingen. Ik vroeg of ik niet tot 18u mocht rondkijken en ik zei dat ik de volgende dag zou terugkomen als ik iets wou passen. Het antwoord was "nee". Onbeleefd personeel

(Translated by Google) Circles is definitely my favorite thrift store! I recently bought shoes there that were in good condition for only €7. I often come here for shirts, belts, jewelry and shoes. When I went to buy a shirt here, the staff showed me that there was a small stain on the shirt on the inside, but when I put the shirt on you didn't see anything :) you can get a lot of things here for very little money. really a top shop! keep it up! (Original) Cirkels is absoluut mijn favoriete kringwinkel! ik heb er onlangs schoenen gekocht die in goede staat waren voor maar €7. ik kom hier vaak naartoe voor hemden, riemen, juwelen en schoenen. toen ik hier een hemd ging kopen had het personeel me laten zien dat er een kleine vlek op het hemd zat langs de binnenkant maar als ik het hemd aandeed zag je er niets van :) je kan hier veel dingen krijgen voor erg weinig geld. echt een topwinkel! doe zo verder!

Look cute

Top!

(Translated by Google) What a great experience shopping here. We had something in mind that was not in the store but was in the warehouse & no effort was too great to still be able to take it home. Super personal and fast communication! (Original) Wat een top ervaring om hier te shoppen. We hadden iets op het oog dat niet in de winkel stond maar wel in het magazijn & geen moeite was te groot om het alsnog mee naar huis te kunnen nemen. Super persoonlijke en snelle communicatie!

(Translated by Google) I bought two vintage cabinets there. There was a paint problem with 1 of the 2. This was corrected by Katrien from My ex Boyfriend. So not only a very nice store, but also excellent after-sales service. (Original) Ik kocht er twee vintage kastjes. Met 1 van de 2 was er een lakprobleem. Dit werd door Katrien van My ex Boyfriend terug in orde gebracht. Dus niet alleen een erg leuke winkel, maar ook een prima service na verkoop.

Enorm veel keuze aan goede wierook...koop deze al jaren en heb ze nog steeds niet allemaal kunnen uitproberen. Zeker de moeite om eens een bezoekje te brengen als je in Mechelen bent...

This is a store where you can always do a bargain if you ask me. There are always small trinkets or gadgets you could use in your life, for almost no money. There are always people in the store looking for those bargains. People are friendly and the service is rather fast. Most of the time everything is rather cheap.

Nice things that you can buy. Affordable prices.

Good size, friendly cashier and easy parking.

Clean, organized, swift. Parking sometimes not enough.

Well organised, always room for a bargain.

Can get crowdy.

Low price and low quality

Everything was always good, but one girl ruined all the relationships, a young blonde at the checkout, rude and unfriendly. Even a young boy, although he was studying, was very friendly.

Good service

Nice and friendly staff :)
