Last year we were nominated for and received Washington County’s Recycle at Work Business Award, recognizing our efforts to be sustainable and recycle at the shop.  And now the Oregonian picked up the story and published it yesterday.  Cool!

Here’s the full story: http://www.oregonlive.com/washingtoncounty/index.ssf/2010/02/recycle_at_work_business_award.html

Insomnia’s baristas decided to donate all the collected tips from Friday’s work day to Mercy Corps’ work in Haiti.  Even though it was a last minute decision, many customers opened their generous hearts and gave more than expected for this cause.  We thank you for your help in making this a success!

The baristas at Insomnia came up with a very generous idea. . .to donate a day’s worth of tips to those in need.  It’s a small sacrifice for baristas to help with a much bigger cause. . .just a way we can pay it forward!  Come by for some good coffee and to support the continued work of Mercy Corps in Haiti.

Friends, we’re excited to announce that we have a new pastry vendor!  Get ready to tempt your taste buds!

The Tracy Gulacy Baking Company is located in Forest Grove, Oregon and has started supplying us with delectable treats including Tahitian Banana Muffins, Mango-Cherry Scones, Pecan Caramel Sticky Buns, Lemon Ginger Poppy Seed Scones…and the list goes on.

Come by and take a peek…you won’t believe your eyes!
