For the owners and associates at C3, business is not just about making
money. It’s about operating a business that reflects their values. 
That
means serving only premium, healthy foods that are all-natural, organic
whenever possible, and free of pesticides, artificial fertilizers, and
additives.
It’s about serving the best coffee…and only coffee that’s
fairly-traded, organic, and shade-grown.
Coffee production is the second
largest industry in the world, yet most coffee growers fail to make
a living wage because coffee prices are dictated by the commodity markets.
Instead, fairly-traded coffee guarantees a fair wage to coffee growers.
We believe it's worth paying a few cents more for our coffee, and
we think our customers think it’s worth it too. That’s what living one’s
values is all about.
Our values of sustainability extend to our building as well.
Renovations
for C3 were done in accordance with LEED green
building guidelines,
using renewable resources, reclaimed materials, and energy efficient
products wherever possible.
Come in and check out our counter top made
of recycled glass, tables made of sunflower seed husks and bamboo, and
our eco-friendly Marmoleum floor.
Construction was completed with non-VOC
paints and materials, energy efficient lights and appliances, and lo-flow
water fixtures.
