Schoon de Companje

Schoon means beautiful in Dutch. It is a fitting description for what Schoon de Companje do here, the way they do it, with emphasis on you and their opinion of you as a person, the people they do it for what more can one ask for? You do feel truly spoiled when you visit, as if you are with family!

De Companje is a collaboration of artisans in the true sense of the word, not merely a label, but rather the artisan that contributes to his community in Stellenbosch.

Schoon de Companje do so with the skills that they have acquired over time through study and practice and by using only the finest and purest of ingredients which you will find when you walk through the magnificent eatery – everything under one roof, a one-stop shop with abundant offerings- all made with love.  Situated in the heart of Stellenbosch, on the corner of Church and Bird Street lies a gem – a family business originally started out with the De Oude Bank Bakkerij, known for its incredible selection of freshly baked goods.  Schoon De Companje now also houses a stunning wine shop, magnificent coffee roastery, fantasy ice cream shop (Fanny Chanel), carnivorous butchery, and a section with fresh and locally grown produce.
