Mindful Living Practices
At the heart of Café Mila lies a deep commitment to nurturing the whole person. That’s why we’ve curated a robust schedule of mindfulness-based workshops and classes to complement our nourishing cuisine.
Start your day with a grounding meditation session led by our resident yoga instructor. As you settle into your cushion and follow the rhythm of your breath, allow the stresses of the outside world to melt away. These 30-minute morning meditations are the perfect way to center yourself before diving into the day.

Sustainable Ethos
Sustainability is at the core of everything we do at Café Mila. From our eco-friendly operations to our ethical sourcing practices, we’re committed to reducing our environmental impact and nurturing a healthier planet.
In the kitchen, we prioritize locally-grown, seasonal produce whenever possible, minimizing the carbon footprint of our ingredients. Our coffee and tea suppliers are carefully vetted to ensure fair trade and organic certifications, and we work closely with area farmers and artisans to source the highest-quality, responsibly-produced goods.
When it comes to our café itself, you’ll find that we’ve implemented a range of waste reduction initiatives. Our reusable dishware, compostable takeout containers, and robust recycling program all work together to divert unnecessary waste from landfills. We also proudly power our space with renewable energy sources, further reducing our carbon footprint.
Beyond the café walls, we actively collaborate with like-minded organizations to amplify the impact of our sustainability efforts. Through educational workshops, community clean-ups, and tree-planting initiatives, we empower our patrons to adopt eco-friendly practices in their own lives.
At Café Mila, we understand that living mindfully and caring for the planet go hand-in-hand. That’s why we’re dedicated to modeling and promoting sustainable solutions that nourish both the individual and the greater community.

Artistic and Musical Inspiration
At Café Mila, we believe that nourishment for the body and soul go hand-in-hand. That’s why we’ve curated a vibrant calendar of artistic and musical events to complement our mindful menu and wellness offerings.
Throughout the year, our space transforms into an ever-evolving canvas, showcasing the work of talented local and regional artists. From bold, abstract paintings to delicate ceramic sculptures, each rotating exhibition celebrates the creative spirit and invites you to pause, reflect, and find inspiration.
In addition to visual arts, Café Mila also proudly hosts a lineup of live musical performances that span genres and styles. Unwind to the soothing melodies of an acoustic folk singer, tap your toes to the infectious rhythms of a world music ensemble, or simply let the notes wash over you as you sip your afternoon tea. These intimate concerts create a sense of community and connection, allowing you to experience the universal language of music.
Beyond passive enjoyment, we also offer a variety of hands-on creative workshops to unleash your inner artist. Channel your creativity through guided painting classes, learn the art of calligraphy, or explore the meditative practice of pottery-making. These immersive experiences not only nourish your artistic passions but also provide an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals in a supportive, judgment-free environment.
Whether you’re seeking visual inspiration, musical enchantment, or the chance to explore your own creative potential, Café Mila’s artistic programming promises to ignite your senses and leave you feeling energized and refreshed.
