Love Shack Coffee was established in September 2007, initially bringing high quality Fair Trade Coffee to the Belgian marketplace via by our cute and funky mobile coffee van which visited events, fairs and large markets in the south of Belgium and Brussels.

The coffee is made on a very high quality hand operated Italian espresso machine which delivers exceptional quality espresso beverages from freshly ground beans.

 
 
 

 

Due to our outstanding success we opened our first coffee bar at Rue de La Croix de Fer 5, 1000, Brussels in April 2008 adding high quality ‘petite restauration’ along with our already famous coffee – see our menu for the food we provide. We have a growing band of followers, commited to our made on the minute smoothies, a blend of different fruits of your choice providing excellent health benefits – see more details in Smoothies, A Body Revolution’. The coffee van continues to visit local markets, fairs and events and is available for hire with qualified and trained staff.
