Foody souvenirs from Brugges:
Favourite places to eat were the Carpe Diem tearoom (red bush tea served with orange slices, coffee, waffle and pancake with mixed fruit), the Li O Lait cafe (chai latte, cappuccino with squirty cream on top, bagels and tapas) and the Moka cafe in the Galleria near Brussels Grand Place (hot chocolate, sparkling water and apple pancake). If you go to Belgium you must buy Speculoos biscuits and chocolate sprinkles (for putting on your toast for breakfast).
I should also give an honourable mention to something non foody, but comic related. The De Striep comic shop on Katelijnestraat.

It's just a lovely, lovely space to be in and the range of stuff they have is breathtaking. It's so different to a UK comic shop. This is their bag:
