About the Owners
Justin & Amanda Zielonko opened Elpida Cafe & Roastery, because of genuine passion for coffee (& tea) and the desire to reach out to the community. What started as a simple hobby roasting coffee at home has transformed into the community coffee shop it is today - providing handcrafted specialty drinks and ethically sourced fresh roasted coffee.
Committed to Fairness & Equality
We at Elpida Cafe & Roastery are proud to join the women farmers of the Café Femenino program! We stand with these courageous women who fight for the credit they deserve and the voice they need to fight inequality. Café Femenino provides high-quality coffee beans that come with a one-of-a-kind support for women farmers across the world. Café Femenino disrupts the traditional economic system by paying women directly for their work, giving them the opportunity to take on leadership roles in their cooperative, and providing them with the title to the land on which they farm.
Coffee Initiatives ~ ELPIDA = HOPE
$1 from every bag of coffee sold goes towards the construction of a water reservoir in a coffee community affected by poverty.
In addition to supporting the coffee farmers we depend on, we do our part to help the local community, because community matters to us.
50% of the proceeds from every bag of CHARITY Blend goes towards a different local charity or organization each month, spreading seeds of hope around Georgina, Ontario.
Helping bring clean water to coffee commmunities:
