Have you tried this cafe?
Ethos Cafe isn’t just serving food - it’s rethinking the entire food system. From growing its own produce to composting kitchen waste back into the soil, this cafe is closing the loop, one plate at a time.
“We grow our own food, bring it into the kitchen, and whatever’s left goes back into our garden,” says head chef Chris McIntosh.
