Engagement
At Barista, we're fortunate to have a fantastic, close-knit team that's great to work with, loyal customers with a passion for coffee who are always a pleasure to talk to, and top-notch collaborators and partners who are a joy to work with. In short, we are truly blessed!
Grateful for all the luck, love and success we have and receive, it's vital for our team to be able to give back to those who need our help and support.
Barista is involved on many levels, and never misses an opportunity to give back to the community through the various organizations that approach us.
Le Phare, Enfants et Familles
For several years now, we’ve been organizing a major fundraising campaign that’s particularly close to our hearts to benefit Le Phare Enfants et Familles, an essential resource providing family-centered pediatric palliative care. For every kilo of coffee sold from our limited-edition “Cremone des fêtes” blend, we donate $5 to the organization to support its vital mission.
In 2026, we were lucky enough to donate $9,445 to them!
Simple Plan Foundation
Founded in 2005, the Simple Plan Foundation supports young people facing challenges such as mental health issues, bullying at school, poverty, and illness, while helping them discover music as a positive outlet. Through its partnership with Barista, the café donates $2.50 per bag sold to the Foundation.
Montreal Firefighters' Charitable Fund
Year after year, we partner with the Montreal Fire Department. For every coffee or bag purchased by a firefighter, we make a donation to their charity fund.
In 2026, we were able to donate $9,465! These funds help, among other things, Montrealers in need and various organizations that share this same mission.
Fondation Véro & Louis
Throughout the month of April, we donated $2.50 to the Véro & Louis Foundation for every bag sold of our blend created specifically for this initiative. ☕️
Thanks to the tremendous support of our customers, we are very proud to have been able to donate a total of $1,357.50, which will help provide a long-term living environment tailored to the needs of adults with autism!
La Corbeille Bordeaux-Cartierville
It is a true pleasure to support La Corbeille in its mission to ensure food security for the residents of the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough and to facilitate social and professional integration.
We are particularly grateful to have been able to make a total donation of $2,325 for the year 2025, as well as more than 100 bags of coffee.
Cycling Canada
We have had the pleasure of partnering with Cycling Canada for over three years now. For every bag sold, we donate $2.50 to this organization.
We were able to donate a total of $3,195 in 2025, which will help develop the sport of cycling at all levels across Canada.
