Shop the coffee Our story since 2003

Trustful

Since 2003 we've roasted and served coffee with integrity, as the very first specialty coffee bar in Belgium. From bean to cup, we work openly with people who share our beliefs. No secrets, just honesty you can taste.

Warm

Coffee is your other living room. In Antwerp or at home, every cup is a place where everyone belongs — a space to connect, recharge, and feel at ease.

Colourful

Our passion for coffee is our energy: a team from many backgrounds and nationalities, and a vibrant range of coffees full of flavour and character.

In Season

Single-origin beans no older than 10 months from harvest. You'll taste the difference between fresh and old crop — that's why our shelves change with the seasons.

Micro Roast

All coffees roasted on a 25-kilo Giesen, 20 kilos at a time. Small scale gives deeper flavours. Yes, we are small, artisan, and focused on quality.

Specialty, Defined

Coffee with a story, something exceptional. 82+ points cupped on a 100-point scale. Gourmet, premium, clean — not conventional.

Freshly Roasted

Most coffees reach your doorstep within a couple days after roasting. We roast almost daily, so your bag is never stale.

From the nation

People keep coming back for it.

"Been buying Roast ED for three years. It's the only bag that survives a full week in our house without a refill order."
Freya V. · Antwerp, BE Roast ED

"Ordered the filter discovery pack not knowing anything about origin coffee. The Kenya KAY ruined every supermarket bag for me."
Milo D. · Rotterdam, NL Filter Discovery Pack

"Milk Man in a flat white is unfair to every other espresso I own. Sweet, round, doesn't fight the milk."
Anaïs P. · Ghent, BE Milk Man

"Subscription just works — bags arrive roasted a few days before, never stale. Wish shipping to Germany was a touch faster."
