About Us

At UTAMU Coffee'n Pastries, our mission is clear: we want to bring people together through our shared passion for coffee and pastries, drawing from diverse cultures to create something truly unique and special.

Established in 2023, UTAMU is a blend of the rich coffee culture of East Africa and the sophisticated elegance of Western EU pastries. Our founders, having roots in both continents, aimed to create a space that celebrates diversity, creativity, and connection.

Our menu is a testament to our commitment to quality and variety. From the traditional Rwandan beignets called Amandazi, to our unique UTAMU cookies made with a mix of dark and white chocolate chips and Rwandan red peanuts, we offer a taste of the world in every bite.

UTAMU's Ethical and Quality Coffee Journey

At UTAMU we also care about Ethics, Quality and Community. Our beans, sourced primarily from Ethiopia, Rwanda, Burundi, and Kenya, reflect our commitment to trade fairness, ethics, and unmatched quality.

1. Ethics: By partnering directly with roasters who buy straight from the source, we ensure coffee farmers receive fair compensation for their hard work, bypassing traders and middlemen.

2. Quality: The direct purchasing model grants us access to the finest quality coffee, right from the farmers themselves.

At UTAMU, every sip tells a story of transparency, community support, and a dedication to excellence.

Of course, none of this would be possible without our amazing partners:

• OR Coffee our coffee roaster
• East African farmers who provide us with the finest coffee beans and peanuts.
• Our skilled pastry chef Clarisse who brings African elegance to Belgian pastries.
• The vibrant community of Liege that has embraced us with open arms.

To all of you, we extend our deepest gratitude.

Thank you all for being a part of the UTAMU family !
