“The best coffee house in New Orleans”
At Fair Grinds Coffeehouse when we say “Great Coffee for a Change,” we have a lot on our mind. First we appreciate that our first job is providing you a good place to visit, think, work, and meet with your friends, colleagues, or neighbors. Our coffeehouse is your house away from home where you can still feel at home. We think our uniqueness is part of what led the readers of Gambit to vote Fair Grinds Coffeehouse as the #1 Coffeehouse in New Orleans. See us blush? We’re so proud! Secondly, we want to do even better than that. We want to not only have the best coffeehouse in New Orleans but the best coffee! In fact that’s what we mean by “great coffee!” For 10 years we have pioneered serving fairtrade coffee because being fair to producers as well as consumers is part of our founding principles and clear mission. Fairtrade coffee is designed to do just that by assuring that farmers in the developing countries have an incentive to deliver organically produced, environmentally sustainable, and worker friendly coffee to you. Once we get that we’re working with the best roasters around, including trying to support those in our own community, to take great beans and add the love and magic that makes for a great cup of coffee. We’re a New Orleans coffeehouse, so that also means that Wade’s coffee and chicory is going to be a cup of strong, black fairtrade beans mixed with great chicory from Nebraska, yes, a bit of the West is brewed with the best of the city! There’s going to be a story behind every one of our cups of coffee and each blend is going to be special. Coffee is a drink and an occasion, so why not make it “great coffee for a change?”
