If coffee disappears in 2050 because of climate change, we’d be less than amused. So, in an effort to not get to that point we’re picking up our game, starting in our cafés.

DO IT AT OUR SURRY HILLS CAFÉ
Come and try our switched-up menu all June: 50% plant based from June 5, World Environment Day.
…And this aint no short-term fling; we’re going for 20% vegan and 30-40% vegetarian in our menu, forever. Take that, carbon!
Froth on local oat milk with us. We’ve been looking for a local oat milk made with Australian-grown oats for a long time now, and after a lot of testing, we’ve found the one. Alternative Dairy Co’s oat milk is made a stone’s throw away on the NSW Central Coast.
