Cacao roaster
chocolate maker

I feel fortunate being both a roaster & chocolatier. I insist on being approachable and visible. That is why we combine an urban roastery, chocolate factory, shop and coffee & ice cream bar. Our very own chocolate community at Koekelberg.

Cacao roaster –
Chocolate maker

To be a chocolate-maker is one job, to be a cocoa-roaster, or torréfacteur, is another. More then 30 years ago I chose a remarkable path and decided to be both. Coming from 3 generations of coffee roasters, I try to honor my heritage by skillfully crafting another bean : cacao. Becoming a chocolate making descendant of coffee roasters.

Discover our Easter collection : celebrate Easter with finesse.

Our delicately filled Easter eggs (300 g, 400 g or 500 g), in milk or dark chocolate, hold a refined assortment of ganaches, pralinés, caramels, and assorted mini eggs — a balance of textures, from crisp to smooth.

A range of mini eggs brings seasonal notes and familiar favourites: Matcha praliné, Speculoos praliné, Coffee praliné, Feuilletine praliné, dark chocolate caramel, hazelnut pralinés (white or milk chocolate), and almond nougatine praliné.

To complete the selection, our Easter chocolate figures — available in different sizes, in milk or dark — come presented with a selection of mini eggs: pieces to gift, share, and savour, in the spirit of a spring that is on its way.

From "Bean to Bar": where roasting becomes art.

Gault & Millau 2019 & 2025

Brussels winner in the chocolate category.
Frédéric Blondeel, already a laureate in 2019, is an artisan whom we honor once again with this title. It’s safe to say that he’s not the kind of chocolate maker to stay on his laurels. On the contrary, his work, always of the highest caliber, has continued to evolve and assert itself. His determination to perfect the ‘bean to bar’ concept as both a roaster and chocolate maker is undeniably at the root of his success. For 30 years, he has been one of the pioneers in this field and a role model for those who, on the same basis, bring a personal and unique dimension to the craft of chocolate maker. This distinction is therefore more than well-deserved.
