Meet the Family

My new job began on October 1, 2003 when we began to dismantle what had been a jewelry store on Blairmore's main street and turn it into a cafe. 35 days later, after hammering, drywalling, laying a new floor and countless other fun tasks, Stone's Throw Cafe opened. After 3 years and an expired lease, we moved to a new location in the same block with room to grow, and found ourselves renovating again, all while I was 7 months pregnant! Purchasing the building was the best decision I have made, and we have found that Crowsnest Pass has been a great place to do business. That was 2006, and we are still going strong today. In the early days we knew we'd come to a great place, and we still feel the love. The people here are friendly and supportive and have watched with us while our business and family grows. Regular customers have become good friends. 

We work hard and try to contribute to the community we love whenever possible. We are always happy to give directions to bike trails or recommend a great place to stay, so don't be shy about stopping in! We love to be ambassadors to our amazing mountain home.

It's not easy being green...

Cups

We have a bit of an environmental policy. We think all businesses can do something. It doesn't have to be monumental, but in the end, it all adds up.

Less Waste:
We encourage people to not take a bag with their purchase if possible. We also encourage people staying in to enjoy their drinks in ceramic mugs, rather than disposable. Many of our paper products including napkins, take away bags and paper towels throughout the store are all made from unbleached, recycled materials. We also recycle everything we can, most plastics & tins cans, glass, milk jugs & cardboard as well as all beverage containers.

One Man's Junk...
Can be your treasure! If you compost or garden, we will supply you with coffee grounds to enrich your soil. Also, if you have rabbits or pigs or other barnyard 'pets' who would like vegetarian trimmings and peelings, we can help you out there too.

A Bright Idea:
Almost our entire building is lit with compact fluorescent bulbs. Don't believe us? We don't mind if you peek.
