In 1910, the quays of the Gare Maritime in Brussels welcomed the first freight trains, probably carrying bags of coffee from the four corners of the world.

These were then transported by cart to their final destination.

Not far away, in the Marolles district as well as Manchester Street, coffee was meticulously roasted. It was here that Brussels' first roasters set up their machines, revealing the enchanting aromas and complex flavors of this precious nectar.

Could it be the same coffee bags? The investigation continues!

114 years later, on this same quay, on October 19th, 2024, the intoxicating aromas of freshly roasted coffee will dance in the air, blending the creative energy and enthusiasm of coffee enthusiasts with the timber and steel architecture of this prestigious space.
