History

Established in 2013.

Sparrow Café is foremost a coffee shop. In the sense that it is a place to bump into your neighbors, chat with friends or catch up on work or that novel.

At Sparrow you can be certain your coffee isn’t harming the environment, & even helping rectify poor practices, by serving Certified Bird Friendly coffees, a designation regulated by the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center, to ensure the coffee is grown on land that maintains the natural habitat for many wildlife species, helps farmers so they can harvest the canopy fruits as well as produce a higher quality coffee under the shade & in general helps protect & preserve the natural rain forests better than any other designation. All Bird Friendly Coffees are also certified Organic, all the coffee Sparrow serves is organic, fairly traded.

3 local bakeries exemplify their own craft daily, from traditional French, to Donuts & Gluten Free. Dandelion Kitchen now also provides beautiful organic, locally sourced Sandwiches & Salads.
