Introducing the Ascent Coffee Refill Station at The Fix Cafe
There’s something special about filling your own container with fresh coffee; less waste, more choice, and a chance to make your daily ritual feel a little more intentional. That’s exactly what the Ascent Refill Station at The Fix brings to the community.
Whether you’re grabbing beans before work, stocking up for a weekend in the mountains, or sampling something new, the refill station keeps things simple: bring your container, choose your coffee, fill up, and go.
Here’s are the staples you'll find there:
