the story of our products

When Bangin Yussif came to the Netherlands from Syria in 2000, he wondered quickly: “Why do I have to travel all the way to Beirut to get some truly delicious bread?” He found the solution by opening a bakery for Lebanese flatbread himself, with the name Almalika – which means queen – a nod to the royal role of bread in every meal. Nowadays, the bakery is called Lika Bakery and they supply the most beautiful flatbread for the Dutch dining table, also at Greenrebel! Lika works with pure ingredients from local sources. All the grain comes from the Netherlands, from an Achterhoek-based miller called Gunnewick. This family business has been processing grain into flour and flour products since 1870 in the flourmill ‘De Vier Winden’.

Being good to the earth is a priority at Greenrebel. That is why we work together with KRNWTR+, who believes in a better world with every sip. The water of KRNWTR+ is not just any water, but water on tap from local origin; extra filtered, cooled and optionally enriched with bubbles. All without the by-products of unnecessary waste and long-distance transport. Why pack something that you can also tap locally?

A comfort food restaurant is not complete without good coffee on the menu. The coffee at Greenrebel comes from Santas Koffie. They produce delicious coffee, traditionally made from the best beans that are grown sustainably, Fairtrade and 100% organic. Not only does Santas Koffie have a sustainable product, but it is also packaged in a sustainable way. We receive the coffee in a cool metal container that we send back to Santas after the last scoop so it can be reused.

Greenrebel also thinks about tasty lemonades and soft drinks. Not just any drink for us, but a great tasting thirst-quencher, made from fresh fruit and delicious herbs that have been salvaged from the bin by the Fruitslagers of the Roze Bunker. Because just like the Fruitslager of the Roze Bunker, we at Greenrebel prefer not to throw anything away. Berries, herbs, elderflower, and citrus fruits are processed from ‘head to tail’ into the most delicious syrups. And that tastes good!
