Our Philosophy

We're on a mission to brew better

At Bridgehead, we’re committed to brewing better— for the planet and people. For over 40 years, we’ve sourced organic, Fairtrade coffee from small-scale farmers who share our dedication to sustainability.

We believe every cup has the power to connect communities, from the farmers who grow our beans to the neighbourhoods we serve. Thanks for being part of the journey.

Fairtrade

We’re proud to be one of the first coffeehouses in Canada to serve and roast Fairtrade coffee. Fairtrade is a simple way to make a difference in the lives of the people who grow and create the things we love (like coffee). It’s all about making trade fair.

Transparency

Our interest extends beyond knowing the country of origin, farm transparency, soil, altitude, and processing methods. We only work with quality-oriented farmers who have a deep respect for the environment and the final product. For consumers, this means premium and great-tasting coffee that creates sustainable livelihoods for farmers and their families.

Bridgehead is built around a community of hundreds of local baristas, bakers, and farmers who are passionate about their craft. Every time you choose us for your daily cup, you’re helping build stronger, healthier communities in Ottawa and around the world.
