The holidays are just around the corner, and Equal Exchange Espresso has unique gift ideas, great deals, and - of course - caffeine to help get you through to the New Year! Read all about it in this special holiday edition of our e-newsletter, and don't forget to make note of our special Holiday Hours!
What's New at the Café?
Not sure what to get a certain someone on your gift list this year? We've got all kinds of great gift ideas here at EEE, from hostess gifts to stocking-stuffers and beyond! Just grab a gift card or mix and match any of our eco-friendly and ethically-sourced merchandise with fairly traded goodies. Stuff an organic cotton t-shirt and tote bag in a handmade basket or fill a made-in-the-USA ceramic mug with chocolate minis. Add some local music from the Pancake Party Collective, like The Jesus Rehab's "the highest highs and the lowest lows," and rock the season.
While you're out shopping, stop in and warm up with a festive drink! Gingerbread Lattes are back and Pumpkin Spice Lattes are still in season. Indulge in an Eggnog Latte or a Peppermint White Mocha. Vegans, we've got Soy Nog too! Not in the mood for coffee? Try a Maple-Vanilla or Pumpkin Spice Tea Au Lait, a Coco Chainel, or an Emerald Fog. For your little ones, there's plenty of hot cocoa and caramel cider to go around!
Need a snack to go with it? We are currently featuring more classic Pumpkin Spice treats: seasonal donuts from Mighty-O and muffins from Essential Baking Company. We have also added several new items from Boulangerie Nantaise: their savory Spinach & Parmesan Croissant, lightly sweetened Cream Cheese Danish, and a super-rich Brownie with walnuts. Finally, we now have Sweet & Spicy Peach hand pies with a really great crust from 2GuysPies: get them Thursday through Sunday, or while they last!
Up and Coming: 
Please join us on Thursday, December 1 from 5pm to 8pm for the annual Ballard Market Holiday Open House.
There will be live music, holiday cheer, and of course, plenty of delicious samples, including limited-edition coffee and lots of chocolate from your favorite baristas! The café will be open late for the event. Join us for the festivities and for food so good, Seattle Magazine listed it in "Best Seattle Restaurants 2011" - for real!

Featured Vendor:

Nothing says "holidays" like a rich eggnog latte with lots of real nutmeg. Our coffee deserves the best eggnog - and so do our customers! We're proud to be serving a great product from a company who cares as much about cooperation and sustainability as we do. As Organic Valley's Jim Neidel explains,
"If a company is going to make a difference in today's world, it's going to have to think differently. At Organic Valley, our philosophy and decisions are based on the health and welfare of people, animals and the earth. We're a mission-driven cooperative, owned by family farmers, and we've been leaders in organic agriculture from the very beginning. Our commitment to organic agriculture is only equaled by our determination to produce the most healthful, best tasting food available today. Thank you for joining us on our journey."
About Us

Our goal is to provide delicious drinks and great service to the Ballard community while advancing Equal Exchange's mission to support Fair Trade, environmental stewardship, and cooperatives. We keep these principles in mind with every purchasing decision, from our organic milk and half & half to fairly traded chai and chocolate sauce, from our compostable (or reusable!) cups to ethically-sourced hats and hoodies. To thank you for your support, we offer daily specials, loyalty and prepaid programs, and great deals every month on Equal Exchange products.
Happy Holidays!
