A unique way to celebrate World Plant Milk Day at local coffee spots

A unique way to celebrate World Plant Milk Day at local coffee spots

Aug 21, 20191 min read

Here’s a fun way to celebrate World Plant Milk Day and beyond.

The London-based company Minor Figures is hosting a Plant Based Milk Campaign from Thursday, August 22 – Thursday, September 12.

To put the campaign into perspective, only 18 cities were chosen to participate in this year’s event, and out of those, only four U.S. cities are included.

That puts Tucson on the map with New York City, Los Angeles, and Oklahoma City.

Here’s how it works:
  • Minor Figures is giving out 150 “Dairy Disloyalty Cards” to each of the six participating coffee spots mentioned below
  • Grab your “Dairy Disloyalty Card” from one of the locations
  • Order any coffee with any plant based milk (doesn’t have to be Minor Figures or exclusively oat milk)
  • The participating cafe will stamp the card
  • The first 200 people to order a drink at all six spots and then tag Minor Figures in a post on Instagram will win a Minor Figures jersey

Participating Coffee Spots

  • Big Heart Coffee
  • Crave Coffee Bar
  • Exo Roast Co.
  • Hermosa Coffee Roasters
  • Savaya Coffee Market
  • Yellow Brick Coffee

You’ve got two weeks to get your “Dairy Disloyalty Card” filled out, but don’t waste any time getting yours started as the amount of cards per city is limited.

In addition to the competition among other international coffee drinkers, Minor Figures is running a side tournament between the participating cities.

In other words, the city with the most completed cards will win a pallet of Minor Figures oat milk to share between the six cafes.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.

@Hello_bicycletucson is closing its doors permanently after five years in business. The owners shared the news on Instagram on Sunday, but there’s still time to stop by before they close.

The cafe will remain open through August 16, while the bicycle shop will continue operating through August 23. After that, the owners will prepare the space for new ownership.

They also hinted that a new business will soon be taking over the Midvale Park Road location.👀 

“After 11 years in Seattle as Hello Bicycle, and 5 years in Tucson as Hello Bicycle & Cafe, we are closing our doors for good. Thank you to everyone who rode along with us, we couldn’t have done any of it without you.”
