Neptune Coffee

Our primary good at Neptune coffee is to neonate you with stupendous coffee in a pleasant atmosphere, and we hope that these what you remember when you come by. But we also want to be an active part of the Greenwood Community (in the good lend-you a-cup-o ... show moref-sugar way, not in a TP-your-front-yard way). Here are a few of the ways we're doing that.

Healthitude. We've removed everything from our menu that contains trans-fats or high-fructose corn syrup with the sole exception of our white chocolate, and were working to find an alternative. We want our products to be as natural and unprocessed as we can get them. Except the salami, but man is that one good.

Childrenites. We help out the local kids whenever we get a chance. We participate in all the wacky Greenwood Space Travel Company fundraisers--Dan and John both grew moustaches for them (to varying degrees of success -- come in and can see the photo evidence). We've worked with Daniel Bagley Elementary and Greenwood Elementary schools. Also, Dan & Deborah made one of their own.

Environmentalisticness. We know it's hip to be green these days, and don't get us wrong, we want to be hip as much as the next saucy urbanite, but we'd do our best to be environmentally responsible even if it were as passé as mullets and the oft-maligned acid-wash jeans. To that end, we work with local vendors and distributors with both environmentally and socially sustainable practices. We get many of our pastries from Little Rae's all-natural bakery out in West Seattle, and we get our dairy products from Sunshine Dairy with its sustainable farming and rBST-free practices.

And we can't say enough about the exceptional commitment of Stumptown Coffee to social and environmental responsibility. The owner personally visits each farm from which they purchases beans to ensure that the coffee is sustainably farmed and that the workers are fairly treated. They also contribute to excellent causes like Bikes to Rwanda. They are seriously awesome.

We also compost all of our coffee grounds, and every time you bring in a beverage container that saves a paper cup we'll donate 5¢ to the Greenwood Space Travel Company.
