Why We Do This
Sustainability has always been important to us as a family, so we looked for ways to implement sustainable practices as much as possible into our cafe too. Although it may seem obvious, we only have one planet to live on, and we believe it is our responsibility to do our best when it comes to keeping the planet clean for us and for future generations to come.

We hope to inspire those within our community, and other cafes locally and globally, to really understand the impact they can have towards keeping the environment healthy - no matter how small, it all counts.
What We're Doing
Chickens eating food scraps
Turning Food Scraps into Chicken Food and Compost
  • All leftover food waste is placed into a bucket for our friends' chickens.
  • Saves on landfill and saves on the cost of our weekly garbage disposal - it was a no-brainer for us.
  • Buckets are collected twice a week.

Recycling our Coffee Grounds back into the Earth
  • We sell over 30kg of coffee a week - We're pretty busy!
  • Composting coffee grounds prevents landfill and helps us save on garbage disposal.
  • Coffee is full of nitrogen - a chemical which plants love.

Reusable cup line up
  • Australians' throwaway roughly 1.84 billion single use cups every year, either ending up in landfill or the ocean.
Recycling of Cooking Oil's to
make Bio-diesel
  • Recycling cooking oil prevents it from going to landfill as it can't be poured down the sink.
  • Bio-diesel produces fewer pollutants - making it cleaner than fossil fuels.
  • We use 20L of cooking oil a week in our deep fryer, which is more than 1000L a year.
