Fair Grounds

I couldn’t find this place. Is it still open?

Ah who doesn’t love ethics!
Ethical, the latest buzzword to get you parting with your cash and a wad of it at that! I remember frequenting the Oxfam Shop café in Dublin a few years ago when you could get a sandwich for about 2 euro, proceeds going back to the charity. Ethical and bloody cheap!
Fairgrounds, the self-​proclaimed ethical coffee shop, has recently opened on Broadwick Street and offers wooden floors, fancy crisps and not overly over-​priced coffee. They have a nice selection of treats from teeny meeny oatmeal cookies to pecan muffins (I’ll be back for you love), brownies and artisan sandwiches.
Fairgrounds is a nice alternative to the local big bad chains in the area, but I wasn’t exactly bowled over by friendliness.

Fair Grounds puts the ethics into consumerism. The goal of this place is to provide busy Londoners with enough energy to continue during a busy day, while also providing them with a good conscience! Within the shop, it’s well known a substantial amount of money from each cup of coffee or tea goes directly to the farmer.
I like the laid back atmosphere this shop provides, along with their clever take on giving back to the community. On Friday’s you can come and exchange an item worthy of donation to charity in exchange for a cup of coffee or tea!

This little café is so cozy and yummy and so earth friendly! I specially love it during these cold days because they serve lovely soups at lunchtime.
They also have lovely fresh coffee, they actually source their beans from farmers, that way they cut the middleman, and they help farmers make a little more money. Also this month they have a swap thing on Fridays, where you can go and donate something and in return you get a cup of their lovely coffee. I think its a good deal, you give a little you get a little delicious cup of hot roasted brew.
