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.

From bean to heart.

At Tartoer, we roast specialty coffee with care, curiosity, and a love for honest craft. Each batch is roasted on our Giesen W6 in small quantities to highlight the character of every origin — from bright and floral Ethiopian beans to chocolatey Brazilian and smooth Colombian or Peruvian coffees.

Roasted in Antwerp. Shared with warm hearts.

Micro Roastery

We roast in small batches to keep things personal and precise. Each origin — Ethiopia, Brazil, Colombia, or Peru — tells its own story through taste.

Our approach is simple: roast light to let the coffee speak for itself. No blends hiding behind uniformity — just honest single origins, sourced with respect and roasted with intention.

Expect vibrant, clean, and balanced cups that reflect the hard work of farmers we admire and the community we brew for.
