your cup of impact
The social enterprise
The Big C. is a start-up social enterprise with a new innovative way of experiencing coffee and social impact for people who have been affected by cancer.
We believe that social and economic opportunities are necessary for people to develop themselves and their own community.
We focus particularly on coffee lovers, socially engaged entrepreneurs and organizations with an eye for quality, a good taste and positive impact.
Coffee that gives back to the community
“At the end of the day it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished… it’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back.”
coffee with impact
Our coffee is a beautiful single origin from Mexico from the region 'Chiapas'. We believe in authentic coffee and therefore we work together with EFICO to get 100 % organic, traceable and transparant green beans. We love and respect our planet. The beans are medium roasted with passion in the city of Antwerp. We want to have positive impact on you and on the planet.
Founder stefanie
I am a 31-year old social entrepreneur that has a passion for coffee and people. Diagnosed with cancer at the age of 26 I became a young adolescent cancer survivor. The last 5 years of my life were definitely the most challenging that pushed me to grow in ways I thought I could never grow. I embraced the glorious mess that I was and decided to make a big career shift. I launched my social brand - The Big C. - to inspire and empower with my story, determined to make a positive impact on individual and community level.
Community Makes Our Coffee priceless
The Big C. is a community driven company that loves to co-create with partners and people who are interested in coffee and more positive impact. Teamwork makes a dreamwork and without our supporters, believers and members we could not make it happen. Our team is growing and you are more than welcome.
