Ethical Vegan Coffee Shop in Nottingham
At Divine Coffee House, we have dedicated ourselves to creating a sustainable and ethical space for coffee lovers since our establishment in 2011. Originally based in Nottingham's historic Lace Market, we relocated to Sherwood, where we continue to serve our community with passion. Our commitment to ethical practices is evident in every aspect of our operations, from offering over 90% vegan-friendly products to eliminating single-use plastics through compostable packaging and bamboo cups. We prioritise environmental responsibility by sourcing 100% green energy and achieving carbon neutrality through Carbon Neutral Britain. Our partnership with local coffee roasters, 200 Degrees, ensures high-quality beverages while supporting regional businesses. We actively promote waste reduction by encouraging reusable containers and offering a 10% discount for customers who bring their own cups.Our menu features alternative milks such as oat, soya, almond, and pea to cater to diverse dietary preferences. Through Rainforest Alliance-certified coffee, we contribute to sustainable farming practices that protect ecosystems and support agricultural communities. Our dedication to ethical sourcing extends to all products, ensuring alignment with our values of environmental stewardship and social responsibility. We strive to inspire our customers to adopt more sustainable habits through our transparent practices and community-focused initiatives. As a small business, we believe that collective action starts with individual choices, and we aim to lead by example in creating a more ethical and environmentally conscious future.
