Yes. Yet another place to buy coffee in the espresso-obsessed Northwest. But our approach is a bit unique. We love coffee, and our coffee is really good stuff, but the atmosphere is equally important to us - not just the décor, but the art, the music, and especially the friendships that are formed here. Three trees is a place to belong, a place of welcome and love. We want to see the people of Bellingham thriving! Three trees offers free classes to the community on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons, where local people teach workshops on everything from balancing a checkbook to learning to paint. Our Guatemalan coffee is picked by Mayan workers, a people group discriminated against in their country. They are paid better than fair-trade wages. The coffee is shade-grown and organically grown. Three trees carries a delicious selection of fresh, locally baked goods from the Grace Café, to complement our coffees and teas. Three trees is committed to practicing sustainable business, in order to take care of creation and to provide a safer, less-toxic environment for our customers. Many of our baristas are volunteers, and instead of keeping the tips themselves, they have generously offered to pass on the money to non-profits in the county. And any of our profits as a business, beyond our minimal running costs, will also go to help non-profits, like The Whatcom Dream, The Opportunity Council, or OTCM.
