Marin-based, Equator Coffees, a certified B Corporation known for Fairtrade and organic coffees, is celebrating ten years at their inaugural cafe at Proof Lab in Mill Valley. The brand simultaneously celebrates the opening of its 10th cafe in the Fairfax District of Los Angeles later this month.
“When it opened in 2013, Proof Lab launched the second generation of Equator. It was the next phase of something we take a lot of pride in: introducing a new generation of coffee drinkers to who we are, to our years of expertise in sustainably sourcing, roasting, and serving incredible specialty coffees,” said Helen Russell, co-founder & executive chair of Equator Coffees.
“Everything we did, and still do every day, comes back to connection, to fostering a warm, vibrant, and inviting place for coffee lovers and casual drinkers alike,” said Devorah Freudiger, director of coffee culture who opened Equator Coffees at Proof Lab ten years ago.
To commemorate this milestone, Equator has partnered with artist, Fisher Monahan, to illustrate all four Marin Equator locations, including Larkspur, Sausalito, Mill Valley, and of course Proof Lab front and center in its iconic red.
In celebration of this anniversary and Pride Month, the LGBTQ+ founded coffee roaster will also host the Tour d’Equator: Pride Ride in partnership with Marin-founded Mike’s Bikes on Sunday, 25 June. Participants are invited to join Equator in donating to support the critical work of The LGBT Asylum Project. Funds will be combined with those raised by their monthly Cup for a Cause ($1 per pour over sold in cafes).
