At the core of Café Mila’s mission is a deep commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. From the sourcing of our ingredients to the way we power our operations, we strive to minimize our ecological footprint and inspire our community to adopt more eco-friendly practices.
Eco-Friendly Sourcing and Operations
We’ve carefully curated relationships with local farmers, fisheries, and artisanal producers who share our values of sustainability and ethical practices. By sourcing our ingredients as close to home as possible, we not only support the regional economy but also reduce the carbon footprint associated with long-distance transportation.

Food Waste Reduction Initiatives
Café Mila is dedicated to minimizing food waste and promoting a more circular food system. We work closely with our suppliers to reduce overproduction, and any surplus ingredients are repurposed into nourishing meals for our team or donated to local food banks. Additionally, we encourage our guests to order mindfully, and offer creative ways to transform leftovers into delicious, waste-free meals at home.
Community Education on Sustainable Living
As part of our commitment to environmental stewardship, Café Mila regularly hosts workshops and informative sessions that empower our community to adopt more sustainable practices in their daily lives. From workshops on urban gardening and composting to panel discussions on the impact of our food choices, we strive to equip our guests with the knowledge and resources they need to make eco-conscious decisions and cultivate a greener future.
