Eco-friendly cafe with no single-use cups to open new Metro Vancouver location
The eco-friendly cafe Nomad has been serving the North Vancouver community for a decade now, and it will soon be bringing its no-single-use-cup coffee shop model to another part of the city.
Nomad Coffee was just announced as the cafe operator for the new Harry Jerome Community Recreation Centre in North Vancouver.
“The City of North Vancouver is pleased to welcome Nomad Coffee as the cafe operator in the new Harry Jerome Community Recreation Centre,” said City of North Vancouver Mayor Linda Buchanan. “As a well-loved local business, Nomad Coffee will offer more than just food and beverages—it will create a vibrant, inclusive space where community connections are fostered and lasting memories are made. The cafe will enhance the overall visitor experience, provide local job opportunities and champion environmentally responsible practices that they are known for, which reflect the sustainable design embedded in this state-of-the-art facility.”
The recreation centre will be the home of Nomad’s second location in North Vancouver, as well as other amenities, including an NHL-sized arena, an aquatic centre, a community kitchen, multi-use sports courts, various informal gathering areas, and more.
“We are incredibly excited to bring Nomad’s sustainability practices to the Harry Jerome.
Community Recreation Centre and to become an integral part of the community there,” said
Annette Kim, Founder of Nomad Coffee. “Our second Nomad location in the City of North
Vancouver will further deepen our local roots.”

So, how does a no-single-use-cup coffee shop work? At Nomad’s other location, which has been in operation for over a decade, customers have four options to enjoy their beverages. They can bring their own cup, enjoy their beverage on-site in a ceramic mug, buy or rent a reusable cup for $3, or borrow a reusable cup via Clay Cups.
