With spring in the air and St. Patrick’s Day around the corner March makes out to be a very green month. In this spirit, West Café would like to point out what we are doing to keep our business green.

Here at West Café we make every effort to remain as environmentally friendly as possible. We started our green efforts during construction using recycled products such as paperstone, kirei board and marmoleum in the bar area, throughout the floors, for the wine rack and the in barista station.

We continue our efforts everyday by recycling, composting, and using recycled products including our to-go containers, straws and bamboo skewers. Our intention is to start using compostable to-go lids for hot and cold cups as well. Portland Roasters is working with us to make that happen. We are always looking for green and compostable alternatives as we are committed to reducing our landfill footprint.

At home we have completely switched to wind power. It’s such a great feeling that we are pushing our commercial building to do the same.

We’d like to thank all our fans and customers for their ‘green’ efforts. Green is the way to go!
