De Draak: iconic coffee roaster with shop in Ghent

De Draak is a coffee-classic from Ghent and a must for everyone with the slightest interest in coffee. In this historic building, they are roasting coffee since 1864. With a more than 100-year tradition in selecting the best coffees and roasting single origins or blends in an artisan manner, they know what they are talking about. Their continuous search for authenticity, pureness, simplicity and decency delivers some great coffees, to be found in this historic shop. De Draak has a lot of attention for fair and environmentally-friendly production systems, and takes on a great socio-cultural role by helping individuals or groups with their project (in the form of financial help, information or practical support).

Since a few years they added specialty teas to their assortment, which is something they are currently expanding their knowledge and work on. These teas are sold in re-usable boxes. Their shop is located in the main center of Ghent, at one of Ghent’s most famous squares, in the middle of all shopping and cultural life in this city, making it a perfect stop while exploring this city.

At De Draak coffee is a passion and history meets innovation and quality.
