Our Story

Tartoer is an independent specialty coffee bar, bakery and micro-roastery in Antwerp, Belgium, founded in 2013.

The facts

• Tartoer roasts all of its coffee in-house at its own micro-roastery in Antwerp, on a Giesen W6 roaster. We roast single-origin specialty coffees in small batches with a light roast profile.
• All pastry is baked in our own bakery — vegan and vegetarian, made fresh daily.
• Plant-based milk is the norm at Tartoer: oat, soy, almond and coconut milk are free of charge, and the vast majority of our milk drinks are served with oat milk.
• Tartoer has two coffee bars in Antwerp — Korte Koepoortstraat 2 (city centre) and Ossenmarkt 23 (university quarter) — plus a seasonal Zomerbar at the Stuivenberg site, where the roastery is located.
• Tartoer & Taart, our design foodtruck, brings specialty coffee and homemade pastry to corporate and private events.
• Our beans are available in the bars, in our online shop, and wholesale for cafés, restaurants and offices.

Our story

What started in 2013 as a coffee and cake bar has grown into a small Antwerp coffee family: two bars, a bakery, a summer bar and — the proudest step — our own roastery. Roasting ourselves means we control every step from green bean to cup, and it lets us serve exactly the kind of coffee we love: bright, clean and full of origin character.
