Customers are encouraged to bring their own clean reusable coffee cups, saving you in both time and money, in ways such as the cost of cups, storage space, cleaning, disposal...not to mention the impact on our environment! To help encourage customers cafes offer a discount of .50 cents, and with most of the cafes in Benalla now on board it is also a great marketing move.
