About Us
Equal Exchange Espresso Bar, located at the south entrance of Ballard Market, was voted "Best of Ballard" by Ballard News-Tribune readers! 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-and-half to fairly traded chai and chocolate sauce, from our compostable (or reusable!) cups to union-made hoodies. To thank you for your support, we offer daily specials, loyalty and prepaid programs, and great deals every month on Equal Exchange products.
Hope to see you soon!
