We love reusables 💜

Cafe owners and managers, this one’s for you! Can reusables exist in a time of coronavirus?
Answer: Yes, they can.

Reusables can coexist with the responsible and safe service of food and beverages. Bacteria and viruses can exist on both single-use and reusables alike. Single-use items are not cleaner or safer, it’s about good hygiene practices.

Normal dishwashing practices can remove viruses and bacteria from reusables. The same cannot be said for single-use, which usually cannot be washed.

Around Australia there are many businesses accepting and washing reusable cups and containers before filling them, at least four of them are here in Townsville!

Mondo Espresso Bar and Cafe
Specialty Coffee Trader
Skull and Swallow Cafe at The Commonwealth Hotel Townsville
The Quarters

Help us add to the list! If your cafe is following good hygiene practices and accepting reusable cups, we want to know!

You are reducing the amount of waste your cafe is contributing to landfill (or worse, littered) and we want your cafe to inspire others, just as the cafes and espresso bars above have done.

We have missed everyone too much and have made the decision to open the cafe from tomorrow!!! Takeaway only and limited trading hours.... but we will be so happy to see some friendly faces daily from 7am, serving our delicious coffee, fresh juices, cakes, pastries, toasties and you can even pick up a loaf of fresh bread and milk!
Come say hi 💜🌴🌈
