Mamé Noka Coffee Roaster @Greenbizz.Brussels

I’am Quentin CASTEL a social entrepreneur who founded Mamé Noka Cofee Roaster. Previously I was a primary school teacher in Sint-Agatha-Berchem. Father of two lovely girls.

Mamé Noka Coffee Roaster was the first Start-Up installed at Greenbizz.Brussels.
The idea, ultimately, is to be able to connect coffee lovers in Brussels with coffee producers around the world. The selection of coffees is more than fair and from September 2017 partly ORGANIC. For Mamé Noka "Specialty Coffee" is an engine and a tool to provide a social and environmental impact while drinking your morning brew.

My dream is to ship coffee from origin by sailboat and unload the shipment at the port of Brussels. I also absolutely wanted to be part of the Greenbizz.Brussels project. And Laeken is also connected with the A12 “the belgian coffee road”.

Mamé Noka wants to help this part of Laeken known for its old glory to modify its image. Offering an informal and creative economy while cohabiting with other functions of Laeken. In the long term Mamé Noka could improve the quality of life in the canal area for the benefit of its inhabitants and its users by collaborating with the socio-cultural actors of the area.

Who doesn’t want to be active in the town where Annie Cordy and Stromae where raised? :)
