#sscsweet16

This year we’re celebrating our Sweet 16 and thanks to our friends at Gastown’s Cartems Donuterie, we’re making it a truly sweet occasion!

Over the past few weeks, we’ve worked closely with the team at Cartems to create a special edition espresso donut made with Salt Spring Coffee’s Metta Espresso to celebrate this milestone with our friends and community. So how can you get your hands on these donuts? All you have to do is tweet!

Starting April 23, Twitter followers who use the hashtag #sscsweet16 could be one of six lucky people to receive a dozen espresso donuts on our birthday Friday, April 27. Of course, to ensure you’ll get one of these sweet treats visit Cartems Donuterie in Gastown or our Main Street and Tsawwassen Kiosk locations where they will be sold for one day only.

We also have a special event planned at our Ganges coffee house for our friends on Salt Spring Island on Saturday, April 28. Stay tuned for more details and don’t forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for all the birthday action this week! Thanks to our friends at Cartems Donuterie - we can’t wait for Friday!

We’ve visited community gardens, bus stops, even Costco, surprising people who #needalift but it all started at our Main Street Coffee House. People regularly check-in to our Main Street Coffee House on Foursquare and we wanted to reward them for staying active online. If you’re a Foursquare Newbie, check-in to any of our coffee houses for a surprise!

We love community gardens and in Vancouver, especially East Van, there is no shortage of options. Not only do they contribute to the sustainability of a neighbourhood, but they bring people together to form a collective with similar goals, values, and interests that benefit these neighbourhoods. 

And with Vancouver’s unpredictable weather, we couldn’t think of a better group who might #needalift. 

#needalift

We truly believe in better and it goes beyond our coffee. It is connected to every part of Salt Spring Coffee - our values, products, staff and customers. After months of hard work we are excited to share with our Fans, Followers, friends, supporters and loyal customers this video for our #needalift program.
