In an age where environmental responsibility is no longer optional, Amberdo stands out as more than just a café, it’s a conscious movement. Based in Canada, Amberdo is redefining what it means to enjoy your daily cup of coffee by intertwining quality, ethics, and sustainability in every step of its journey. As a truly eco-friendly café, we believe great coffee can come with great responsibility.
Rooted in Nature: The Story Behind Our Tree of Life
Amberdo’s identity is rooted, quite literally in nature. Our logo, a Tree of Life, represents growth, connection, and harmony with the Earth. But this isn’t just symbolic.
For every 12 cups of coffee purchased, Amberdo plants one tree right here in Canada.
We believe that enjoying your favorite brew should also nurture the planet.
This initiative turns every loyal customer into a partner in reforestation, one tree, one sip at a time.
Coffee That’s Ethical from Seed to Cup
Our coffee beans don’t just taste good, they do good. All beans at Amberdo are sourced from certified sustainable and fair-trade farms, ensuring:
- Respect for biodiversity and natural ecosystems
- Fair pay and treatment for farmers and workers
- Zero tolerance for exploitative farming practices
We only work with partners who align with our green values, resulting in coffee that’s ethically brewed and rich in character. That’s part of what makes Amberdo an eco-friendly café with a mission.
Goodbye Plastic, Hello Plant-Based Packaging
Single-use plastics? Not at Amberdo. Instead, we choose:
- Biodegradable containers
- Compostable coffee lids
- Minimalist packaging design to reduce material use
Even our napkins and labels are carefully selected to meet responsible manufacturing standards.
Ethically Sourced Beans, Honestly Brewed
Every bean we serve comes from certified sustainable and fair-trade farms. We work exclusively with coffee producers who:
- Respect the land and avoid environmental harm
- Treat workers fairly and pay living wages
- Avoid exploitative farming practices
The result? Premium coffee that’s full of character and made with conscience. You can taste the difference and feel it too.
Zero Waste Starts in Our Kitchen
At Amberdo, zero-waste isn’t a goal, it’s a standard. Here’s how we do it:
- Compostable cups, cutlery, and bags made from plant-based materials
- Recyclable paper and packaging sourced from certified Canadian suppliers
- Strict inventory rotation (FIFO), product labeling, and temperature-controlled storage to minimize food waste
Our kitchen is designed not just for efficiency, but for environmental responsibility. We reduce food waste dramatically. Our systems are built not only for efficiency but to honour every ingredient we bring into the café. That’s what defines an eco-friendly café in practice.
Trained for Impact: Empowering Our Team the Green Way
Sustainability starts with people. Every Amberdo team member, from barista to back-of-house, is trained in:
- Eco-hygiene practices
- Waste separation and recycling
- Water and energy conservation
- Environmental hygiene practices
- Proper recycling and waste sorting
- Sustainable communication with customers
This isn’t just training. It’s a mindset. Our team lives and breathes environmental responsibility. We believe sustainability begins with people. Our team lives and breathes eco-consciousness in everything they do.
A Café That Educates and Engages
At Amberdo, we don’t just say “no” to plastic straws or dairy-only options. Instead, we offer better, greener alternatives.
- Want dairy? Try our house-made oat milk.
- Prefer sugar syrups? Ours are natural, made in-house, and preservative-free.
- Ask for paper receipts? Let us send it digitally instead.
Every interaction becomes an opportunity to share and inspire a more responsible lifestyle — just one more way this eco-friendly café sets a new standard.
Beyond Buzzwords: A Café That Reflects Our Values
Plenty of cafés claim to be eco-friendly, but Amberdo is one of the few that actually lives it. Walk into Amberdo, and you’ll feel the difference. Our space is:
- Decorated with natural materials like reclaimed wood and stone
- Filled with live plants to purify the air and bring nature inside
- Lit with energy-efficient LEDs for a warm, eco-conscious ambiance

We didn’t just build a café. We created a refuge for both people and the planet. All are designed around minimizing waste, maximizing efficiency, and ensuring regulatory compliance across British Columbia and Canada. That’s the true essence of an eco-friendly café.
