A staple in the region’s organic fair trade market, Just Us! began in 1995 when a group of friends decided to connect small scale organic coffee farmers with conscientious consumers. Today, their product line-up has expanded to include organic sugar, Fair Trade chocolate and tea. 

The co-operative’s downtown Halifax and Annapolis Valley cafés serve up a variety of hot and cold caffeinated and decaffeinated delights. The food menu dishes out tasty items like pakoras, samosas and pastries.

The Barrington Street café has been a Halifax favourite since opening its doors in 2004. Warm and inviting, it’s the perfect place to chat with a friend or read a great book over a steaming hot cup of something. 

That’s where things get complicated. Just Us! serves everything from a straightforward cup of fair trade joe to macchiatos, chai lattes and vegan hot chocolate. Experienced Just Us! baristas make a fantastically rich mocha and the London Fog is the perfect way to greet a bone-chilling day.

It’s just us, kid.
