Bringing a Whole Lot of Hygge to the Coast

By Shanelle Schick

Have you seen the newest, cutest teal green coffee and dessert van Hygge operating outside of Coolwaters Discovery Park?

Allow me to introduce you to Lianna Smith, the owner and operator of Hygge, serving fantastic coffee and a wonderful array of Danish desserts.

With a background in Retail Management and 8 years as the manager at Rockmans, Lianna has taken her passion for customer service, decadent food and Danish heritage to create Hygge. Hygge is a Danish word meaning cosiness and comfort that comes from doing simple things, something she believes that us Aussies are pretty good at incorporating into our style of life. With a strong focus on being environmentally friendly and keeping waste to a minimum, Hygge have recently joined the Green Caffeen movement. How many times have you left your ‘Keep Cup ’ at home when you ’ ve gone to get your daily caffeine hit? This takes away the stress of having to remember it and you can help reduce waste from traditional takeaway coffee cups.

Green Caffeen is a library style system helping to reduce waste into landfill. The way the program works is that you download the app, scan the code at Hygge, receive your coffee in a Green Cafeen cup and off you go. You can either return the cup to Hygge next time you get a coffee or if you are travelling, exchange it at the next stop on your trip, making it a simple and easy process.

The best thing of all is that it is absolutely free to go green. Currently in Yeppoon, There are several local businesses currently participating in the 'swap and go' system including Freedom Fast Cats, Honeybee Beach Side, Tropical Vibes GKI, The Alley, Yogolicious & Country Coffee CQ

Lianna has extended her wasteconsciousness to the straws and cutlery being used at Hygge, supporting Little Green Panda, an Australian company. Their straws are made from sugar cane and are completely compostable. The best thing of all is that they don ’t go soggy when you are half-way through enjoying your ice cold drink! Their cutlery is made from coffee granules and is reusable.

Hygge operates Wednesdays to Sundays outside of the Coolwaters Discovery Park at Kinka Beach and is definitely worth your while stopping in there to try out their coffee and delectable desserts next time you are taking the coast road to Emu Park. Make sure you follow their Facebook page to keep up to date with what they’re up to!
