In Japanese, the word kami refers to a spirit that is hidden in animals, in nature or even in everyday objects. It is also a kind of lucky charm for Clara and Elias, who met in L.A. and fell in love with Japan before returning to Brussels to open their own coffee bar. At Kami, they serve speciality coffee – organic, directly imported and roasted in Belgium. The couple have been convinced of this type of coffee production, in which soil and climate play just as big a role as with wine, for eight years and had the idea of the coffee bar in their heads for just as long. After a year’s training as a barista at Mokxa in Lyon, Clara now masters the machines as well as the trade. But it’s not just the coffee that is on point, the bread comes from Hopla Geiss, the pastries from Cookie Tree and the cold cuts from Copro Bio. Everything is local, organic and seasonal. Kami is a café that everyone would love to have in their neighbourhood.
