At Zen at the Glen - our name was chosen with intention and heart.
We believe that everyone who visits our little corner of the island should leave feeling grounded, calm, and connected — a true sense of zen. But zen is more than just tranquillity; it’s also about acceptance. That mindset of inclusion and openness runs deep through everything we do.
People First
Built on Values That Matter
We're far More Than a Café
From the very beginning, we’ve held to these guiding principles:
People First
Our vision has always been to create a welcoming, inclusive space where people can slow down, connect with nature, and connect with one another. Whether you're stopping by for a peaceful coffee, joining a community event, or simply seeking stillness among the trees, you're part of the Zen community.
Built on Values That Matter
We don’t just serve great coffee in a beautiful setting — we strive to make a positive impact. Social and environmental responsibility is at the core of Zen at the Glen.
Here’s what that looks like in action:
- Inclusive by Design: We are proud to provide a working environment that supports our neurodiverse community, ensuring that all team members feel valued and supported.
- People Over Profit: We will regularly host free events and offer free or reduced cost places for individuals and families who may not otherwise have access to wellness or creative opportunities. These gatherings Zens way to give back and support our wider community.
- Eco-Conscious Practices: We are constantly evaluating and evolving to reduce our environmental footprint — from how we build our spaces to how we serve our drinks.
We're More Than a Café
Zen at the Glen is a place to pause, breathe, and be — together. It’s where the sound of the tram meets the rustle of the glen. Where wellness isn’t a product, but a shared experience. And where community isn’t a buzzword, but a commitment.
