VALUES

Our values at ecocafe are simple.

We believe that all caffeinated drinks must taste delicious, are ethically sourced and produced and are healthy to drink.

We believe in excellent service, but first and foremost comes satisfaction.

We favor LOCAL products as we strive to insure freshness and sustainability.

We think talent and take pride in bringing together passionate people who share our values. Leading by example and taking responsibilities is the name of the game.

We love artisans and taste creators. We are constantly in pursuit of excellence, fresh ideas and new experiences.

We believe in responsible growth, in harmony with ecological realities and local available partners.

As per our coffee, we have the privilege of holding an exclusive license from CARASSO CAFES, a brand that carries a unique know-how and craftsmanship with a history of excellence dating back to 1866.

Our headquarters are in Lausanne (Switzerland),but our talents are also in Geneva, Vevey and Morges.

Ambition

Our mission is to offer the most delicious, natural, ethical and healthy caffeine experience; from fruit to drink.

To achieve that, we focus our developments on consumer-oriented products, to be enjoyed on the go or at our new engaging and stimulating retail and café environments.
