| - So after multiple opportunities to go to Fair Trade Cafe, I FINALLY went and loved it. Why was I taking so long in going? Not sure. But regret it.
It was First Friday, so very busy and very chilly, so I went actually a few times in one night. First run was with the veggie soup, that was fabulous-- I can't wait to try other flavors. Second run was a plain coffee and it was tasty, not bitter- I drink coffee daily and often find it bitter at a lot of places. Third run was a mint tea- can't ever go wrong with mint tea.
Now coffee houses, in my opinion are based a lot on the employees/owners, the vibe and the other customers. The employees were above and beyond kind and the vibe was cool and as the night went on, it got even more cool. It was open mic night and people were reading poetry-- some better than others but my favorite was a humorous poet who had the whole room in stitches. I've never been to an open mic poet night, it was interesting. I was talking to my friend and I got shooshed and someone yelled "MAN ON MIC!" and I felt like a frickin' moron but whatever, I understand. I was new-- I didn't know the rules. Doesn't help that when I talk in general, I pretty much scream-- loud talker but that's because I come from a family of 4 kids and if you were quiet, you were never heard.
So, Fair Trade is 5 stars in my book.
