Highest Ideals
At Equinox, we strive to maintain a high standard of taste and quality in our coffee, espresso, teas, and baked specialties. Sustainably farmed, organic and fairly traded coffee is of primary importance to us in our mission. Furthermore, our tea and herb selections are sourced from estates and farms who also practice sustainable and organic methods of agriculture. Our commitment to sustainability stems from our gratitude and respect for the planet with a desire to live and grow harmoniously with the seasons.
Our focus on quality extends into our service and pushes us to continually build our knowledge while staying creative in our approach and menu. With a steady rotation of single origin coffees and blends, offered in a variety of brewing techniques, we appreciate the varied qualities of the different growing regions.
Ethics
Connected
With the first written record of coffee in history coming from Ethiopia, coffee has connected humanity for thousands of years. For many parts of the world, coffee holds a cultural significance, for others it is a sunrise companion. At Equinox, we honor the rich heritage of coffee and show gratitude to all the small farmers and roasters who have continued to preserve and propagate such a gift.
​
Our commitment to making connections locally and globally leads us in our commitment to ethically sourced coffee which elevates the standard of living for coffee producing communities throughout the world by paying farmers a fair price per pound for beans. The increased income for small farmers in rural areas of underdeveloped countries allows them to care for their land ecology, set up wells for clean drinking water, or send their children to school; A small price to pay for something that gives so much enrichment to the lives of millions
