| - Great cafes are one of my favorite things. Good coffee is just one of the required features that these spots must have. There are relaxation factors, the accommodations themselves, the vibe, the clientele, etc. Fair Trade definitely has passed the test with most of these factors...therefore placing it high on my list of favorite things!
The cafe is located in the Arts District right along Roosevelt. It's right across the street from a train stop, so it's real convenient! Once inside, the vibe is pretty cool. There are plenty of tables and plenty of bars along the windows for a good view while you drink your espressos. Paintings line the walls sparingly, giving it a artsy kind of vibe, while at the same time not going overboard with it.
I ordered a vanilla latte with almond milk and stood around and waited. The menu looked real interesting, and when I go back, I'll definitely give some of their food a try. It seems as if they had a lot of veggie and vegan options which is always awesome. There were a few people scattered here and there around the place..I could totally see this spot being packed or close to being full on a regular basis. I got my beverage and headed outside to one of the many tables out front. They also have a back entrance which also has more outside seating as well.
My latte had a nice, strong flavor balanced with the nice, sweet flavor of the almond milk. It was a perfect mix...not too much of either elements. I sat...relaxed....and watched the traffic pass by as I cleared my head.
Nice location...nice coffee.
