History and Concept
The history of Vlaamsch Broodhuys is publicly linked to Dimitri Roels and Diante Roels. According to company information, they jointly baked and delivered Christmas bread to restaurants in 1996. Dimitri Roels was born in Sluis, Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, and was introduced to the baking trade through a classmate. Diante Roels was born in Tilburg and attended the Middelbare Hotelschool, where her organizational skills came to the fore.
The opening date of the Nieuwe Binnenweg location is not publicly recorded in the investigated information. However, a publication about Vlaamsch Broodhuys appeared in April 2014 that was linked to this Rotterdam location. This does not serve as a confirmed opening date. The location page notes that the building was previously a cigar shop. During the renovation, old wooden floors and tiles were reused.
The concept of the Baker’s Cafés combines a neighborhood bakery with a space for on-site consumption. Within this format, breakfast, lunch, brunch, high tea, and drinks are offered. As a result, the location is associated not only with bread and pastries, but also with coffee, lunch dishes, and use by local residents or visitors to the street.

The coffee supply at Vlaamsch Broodhuys is linked to Bocca Coffee Roasters. The company states that the coffee beans are blended and roasted by Bocca.
