HOW IT STARTED
Hello, we are Kobe and Femke from Kolonel Coffee Roastery.
Our journey started in 2010 with our first coffee bar. We wanted to create a place where good coffee, good food and good people came together.
In 2016 we started roasting our own coffee. Since then, we've been learning every day about coffee, about roasting and about what makes a great cup.
In 2019, we opened our second coffee bar Kolonel North. Today, we roast our own specialty coffee in Antwerp, serve it in our bars and beyond and share it with people who enjoy good coffee as much as we do.
Good coffee. Roasted by us. Enjoyed by you.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
THE COFFEE EXCHANGE
- Kolonel, coffee handled with care -
This is how it begins: a simple seed, with endless potential. A whole world of fine aromas, surprising tastes and memorable moments. Hidden within, but ready to be discovered and shared in a global coffee exchange.
THE PEOPLE
Truly great coffee is a labour of love. That is why Kolonel works with people who are just as crazy about coffee as we are. We invest in long-lasting relationships with passionate, dedicated partners. Working together to create an environment where coffee is handled with care. Because we firmly believe you’ll be able to taste it!
THE BEANS
We prefer quality over quantity, so we select small batches of beans. At Kolonel, we like our coffee just right: intensely fragrant and surprisingly smooth. That is why we roast our beans at our very own roastery. Always in small amounts, so we can fully control the process, and with attention to detail. Once they have that trademark Kolonel taste, they are ready to be enjoyed
THE COFFEE
From that first espresso in the morning, to a late-night latte: every cup of coffee tells a story. So why not create your own? At one of our coffee bars, where our baristas will brew you the perfect cup. Or at home, with a bag of our freshly roasted coffee. Go on, just brew it and make it your own.
