OMNI – all around food

OMNI – all around food is located at Korenstraat 2 in the Ebbingekwartier in Groningen. The available data lists this address as the primary documented location. A primary location in Meerstad does not appear in the provided data. The business currently presents itself as a micro-bakery, deli, and catering company. The former lunch café is closed. Since November 15, 2023, the focus has been on the shop, the bakery, and catering.

The founders are Dorien Wiltjer and Monique Mathon. They opened OMNI in March 2020 in the Hortusbuurt and the Ebbingekwartier. March 21, 2020, is cited as the establishment date. Their background extends beyond Groningen; they previously worked in Rio de Janeiro in food production. There, they produced charcuterie, syrups, cakes, and other products, which were sold online, at a market with local producers, and to restaurants.

In 2019, Dorien and Monique returned to Groningen. Following this, they were involved with the tea room in the Prinsentuin. In 2020, they made the move to the location on the Korenstraat. This development shows that OMNI didn't just start as a hospitality venue, but also as a production business focusing on bread, patisserie, and deli products.

The concept is described as homemade, seasonal, organic, and local whenever possible. OMNI also emphasizes the use of products without artificial additives. In the shop, they sell their own creations alongside products from regional suppliers. As such, the company has a clear focus on food production and provenance, even if not every detail is publicly documented.

For coffee lovers, the connection with Black & Bloom is particularly relevant. Black & Bloom lists OMNI, featuring Dorien Wiltjer and Monique Mathon, among its wholesale clients. Oogst Groningen also refers to the coffee connection as “coffee via Black & Bloom”. The former Prinsentuin page mentioned that tea from Hotsoup and coffee from Black & Bloom were served there. That coffee was roasted in Groningen.

The provided data contains no public description of specific brewing methods at OMNI. Therefore, there is no documented basis to state whether OMNI offers espresso, filter coffee, pour-over, or batch brew. The former lunch café did mention coffee and breakfast from 10:00 AM, followed by lunch and grazing platters from 12:00 PM. Since that lunch café is now closed, this information pertains to an earlier phase of the business.

The current core of OMNI lies in the micro-bakery, the deli, and catering. The micro-bakery uses organic and, where possible, local ingredients. According to the data, the bread is baked using local grain in a traditional stone oven. The deli offers items including dairy, local cheeses, flour, fruit juices, and honey from Groningen and the surrounding area.

The sourdough bread is made from organic wheat from Noord-Nederland. Additionally, it is mentioned that OMNI bread is sold via BroodNodig on the Vismarkt and via Bioschuur in Meeden and Winschoten. OMNI bread and patisserie are also mentioned at Restaurant Sepia, Vin Natuur Wine Bar, Le Marronnier, Revista Coffee, and Gebrand en Bakker. These mentions place OMNI within a broader network of Groningen food and hospitality businesses.

OMNI describes its kitchen as seasonal and connected to suppliers from the province of Groningen. The provided data also reveals an 80/20 approach regarding local sourcing versus products from further away. Dorien and Monique personally vet the suppliers. The data lists Black & Bloom, Hotsoup, Kleikracht, Waddenmax, Landgoud, De Eemstuin, De Oude Streek, Stadsimker, and Martinus as examples of suppliers or partners.

This approach fits into a broader trend within the Dutch food sector, where provenance, short supply chains, and artisanal production are becoming more prominent. For OMNI, bread, deli products, and catering are the primary documented focuses. The coffee component is present via Black & Bloom, though it is described in less detail than the bakery activities.

OMNI also appears in data regarding local activities and education. A workshop titled “From trousers to bread bag” is scheduled for February 14, 2026, organized by OMNI and Spiekerboks. In this workshop, participants create a bread bag from repurposed denim and linen. Furthermore, OMNI is registered as a certified training company for “Executive Baker”, with a certification date of June 18, 2025.

Additionally, there are press mentions in regional media, including Dagblad van het Noorden, Blad voor Groningen, Sikkom, and Indebuurt. No formal prize or award was found in the provided data. The image that emerges from the data is that of a Groningen micro-bakery and deli with a documented link to local suppliers, bread production, and coffee via Black & Bloom.
