        Compostable bagsAt SO Coffee Roasters, sustainability shapes how we source, roast, and serve. We invest in farmer partnerships, fair pricing, and community jobs while reducing energy, water, and waste. In 2025, we began transitioning to certified compostable coffee bags, cutting plastic and improving end‑of‑life recovery without compromising freshness. Every decision balances people, planet, and profit—brewing value from origin to cup, and inviting guests to join sustainability journey.
